I couldnt even finish reading the rest of the threads. First hand you say? Well, what exactly is in the pot?.. The smallest there will ever be, and you want to call with more than one or two unknown players? Just to get an early lead? Wait until there's something to fight for. Dont fly paper dragons, just to kill other paper dragons. Obviously you're concerned, therefore you realize there is a risk of gettin' broke. If youre concerned, you must have some skill. Use it later on when there's reason to fight. You know the odds. Youve seen the beats. Did you go there to gamble? Or to play the once-a-year Big One? For one hand?

Skill must count for something. The others who go all-in are weaker. They NEED the early lead. Let them gamble themselves out the door.
You?....
You survive
