Bill"s post reminded me, I was both tilted and amused in equal measure by some of the play on the tables last night in the 1k GTD "deepstack" (I also played in the baker"s dozen and was on Ger"s table so amusement was guaranteed there).
I"ll share with you the hand that crippled me and effectively knocked me out in the form of a few questions:
You have 34k at 2k/4k in MP1 and are dealt
Do you
a) fold
b) shove
c) make a standard 2.5x raise leaving 6.5bb behind
Having opted for c (obv), you witness your hugely talented and handsome oponent click it back to 25k.
Do you
a) fold - this would only leave 6.5bb but maybe a shove can get through in one of the next couple of hands, or maybe even double up)
b) shove - you have almost no fold equity which the aforementioned, handsome opponent clearly knows and therefore his click back is super strong; but hey you could have live cards
c) flat call leaving 2.25bb behind
Obviously again we go for option c, the flop brings 2 clubs so we ship it in, our opponent (did we mention he was handsome) snaps with
and the turn duly obliges with a club!!
TY GG & Goodnight
