yum1yum: doesn't show hand Ok, so this was a turbo tournament and blinds were already big. I'm looking at putting on a lot of aggression so that I can go onto the final table with a big stack. This guy was a big stack for the same reasons, he was playing aggressive and I was playing tight. At this point in the game my stack is more than enough to get him off AQ especially with my image. In my opinion this guy is only calling with AA/KK/QQ/AK and mayb JJ so I figure this is a perfect chance to steal the 11k that's in the pot! Protecting your BB is a bad idea against short stacks because they usually will be committed and will call you with a much wider range of hands. This guy can easily lay down his JJ knowing that he still has 25k left and more than enough to stay alive. You should only ever pull off these stunts when you have been at the table long enough to understand certain players at the table and only if you are getting the right fold equity to get villain off 90% of his hand range. Also the pot has to be big enough to be worth while stealing :p The great side affect of doing this also means that they will tend not to steal your BB again. This guy insta-folded so I guess he had JUNK heehee. Go me! ended up bubbling the final table with A9 against A6 and that was protecting my BB lol. |
