Strategy Hand 1
Blinds are 600-1200 with a 100 ante, and we have 24,500 in our stack pre-flop (so 20BB). SB completes, and I look down at KcKd. Villain’s stack is 24,000. Hero checks.
Pot (3100) Effective Stacks (22,700)
Flop is: 9s4d3c
Villain leads for 2000. Hero raises to 4700. Villain shoves for 20,700. We have to call 16,000 to win 30,500.
Strategy Hand 2
I am in the button. 3 limpers to me. I had 17,200 and QTo (no spade).
The level is 800/1600 with 200 antes.
With 11 BB, I limped behind. The blinds came along and we had a 6 way pot.
The flop was Ts 9s 6x (pot: 11,400)
It checked to the main Villian who bet 3,000. Hero calls, the rest fold.
The turn came a brick – I noted it as 4x although it could have been a 3x or 2x.
Villian leads for 4K.
