Example 1
You're in the beginning phase of a tournament, the blinds are 25/50 and your stack is 10.000. A player in early position, two players in middle position, the button and the small blind all limp. You are the big blind and you have. What should you do?

Answer:
You should check. The blinds are still too low with regards to the stacks. It is not worth yet to try stealing the blinds. Just check and hope you'll hit a good flop.

Example2
The tournament has just begun, the blinds are 25/50 and everyone has a stack of 5.000. You're in early position and you get . The player who has to decide first (the player under the gun) calls for 50. You raise till 200, a player in middle position re-raises to 800 and a player in late position calls. The player under the gun then follows by going all in. What should you do?

Answer:
You should fold. The chance is too large that someone has AA. Given that you've raised in early position means that you've betrayed your strength to your opponents. It's better to safe your chips for a better moment and/or better position to play KK. Fold will only cost you 200 and will take away the risk of going bankrupt immediately.

Example3
The tournament has just begun, the blinds are 25/50 and everyone still has a stack of around 5.000. You're in late position and you get . Two players in middle position limp. What should you do?

Answer:
You should raise. It is very likely that you have the best hand at that moment. Given that there are already two limper's, a raise of 250 would be appropriate. With a raise like that you decrease the number of opponents in the pot and you might win the pot immediately. In case someone else hits you with a heavy re-raise you can easily fold given that you've only bet relatively little.

Example 4
You're at the beginning stage of a tournament, the blinds are 5/10 and everybody has a stack of 10.000. You get and you're under the gun (first to decide). What should you do?

Answer:
You should fold. With blinds as low as this, there's absolutely no reason to play this hand. In case you raise and someone else re-raises you should fold. In case you calls and someone hits you with a heavy raise you should fold as well. Given that it's still early in the tournament it's better to just throw away this hand.
