This is Friskies first hand. 10 Seats - Piston and Port are on sit out - 8 active players I am 7 off the button and first to act pre flop I have 43o - easy decision - fold Preflop First 4 players fold Frisky (with AQs) raises to 180 (9x BB) :loon Everyone folds and Frisky picks up the 30 blinds. Frisky shows his cards Have to ask Frisky - Why such a big bet? and why show your cards? Why show your cards? I suspect the answer is "Because it's PL" - fair enough!! Or is there something deeper here? Were you trying to set up a specific table image? "Interesting" play though :loon ;)

Re: Betfair PL Freeroll - Hand 2 Ak or AQ - in this scenario, early in a tournament ...... I like to flat call it (it is "only" A high) and try and see the flop. If I miss, then I won't generally bet or call - time to let the hand go. However, if I hit A or K high on the flop, then I'll bet it aggressively and hope for a big payout from someone with a hand like AJ or AT....... Later on in a tournament, I'll play it completely differently. You will see in Hand 7 jmac had AK against my AA and a flop K high - in Jmac's position, I would have gone in aggressively with that and got slaughtered!!!
