Funny Side Note

I think it's hilarious when you open a pot early in a tournament and players overbet the pot. Here's an example. I open with AK suited for 100 when the blinds are 15/30. The player right behind me shoves in for 1500. A real poker player, if they have a hand, would re-raise to 250-350. Not players online. They go with a hand and just donkey shove before the flop. I see it all the time and it makes me laugh everytime. I folded the hand. I'm not going to risk my tourney with AK suited that early. I still had 1400 with the blinds small. Early in a tournament, there is no need to race off chips. I'm sure he had a small pair. Probably 99+, maybe even AK as well. Oh well, I'll find a better spot.
