well. I thought I had the best hand and saw the opportunity to get off to a great start. I normally watch my chips better early in a tourny and this reminded me of why I do it I guess

I like the all in really. That is the problem with tournies that only start you with 1000. He has TPTK, so this is obviously a raising situation. The call is 160, which means a healthy raise would be to 300-400, which is almost half of his remaining stack. If you raise here, you are virtually committed the rest of the way.
