Yes i know i was 51% ahead, but i still hate 7s, and everytime i call with AK, the 7s hold up

Geez -- kind of aggressive with your medium-low pockets no?

[Reel Deal]

Isn't this the "Bad Beats" board? You lost a coin flip.

[eejit101]

lol, i wasnt complaining about the beats. I was sayin earlier that i like 77, but now i dont, that was my point

[Reel Deal]

Ah, I got ya.

[Windbreaker]

Unless you feel you're totally outclassed in this tourney, there's no need to go all in preflop in the first level of the blinds with a pair of 7's. I would only put it all in if you feel like you're at least a 75% favorite to win the hand. Otherwise...why risk so much so early on.
