Default Re: WSOP Step #1 Hand... With Twists

Good discussion - Here is the final piece:

Grabovsky: raises 360 to 570
LDO2007: folds

Wanted to give him the opportunity to pay me off with trip JJJ / maybe QQQ or a smaller house.

Can only imagine a straight draw all along - maybe as bad as a gutshot (really, impossible to imagine how bad players in these early steps are - no need to give them credit for too much thinking!)

Back to the pre-flop: in a cash game or an MTT I like the raise more pre-flop, in a SNG (especially one paying 2 spots) I prefer to keep the pot smaller at the early blind levels and see what develops... primary concern is to keep some chips for the short-stacked end-game where opponents will be making huge errors.

Cheers, Mark

PS: Lets see some more hands on this board!
