rakeback we have reached the official
final table over 600 entrants we have a
huge chip lead and we're gonna apply the
pressure we pick up a premium and the
blinds of course we're shoving verses
seven blind stack he puts in the call we
have him dominated let's hold he flops a
10 we turn chop outs and win outs but
the rivers a six and we double him up no
paint jumps yet let's stay focused still
nine handed action folds to the hi jack
who shoves all in for 19 blinds we have
a decision to make with ace eight suited
I don't think he's gonna be shoving two
lights we fold with pocket threes in
middle position in all stacks between 10
and 15 blinds behind us I don't think
it's a profitable shove it's a little
light so we fold the action folds to the
high Jack who opens for the minimum run
the big blind with King jack off I think
it's pretty standard call we flopped top
pair check it to our man he bets and we
could raise but I just put in the call
terms of five check it over to him he
checks behind rivers at an an
interesting card
we could go for value here but I think
we better do better to check and induce
Bluffs from hands like East King ace
Queen you might even want to value about
10x or pocket nines so we're in check
call mode but he does check behind and
he has ace eight we did miss possibly a
little bit of value on the river I still
have the chip lead eight handed hi jack
opens very aggressive regular I'm a
squid on the button so a good three bet
call but I'd rather deny all equity we
shove all in and get a fold we're now
four handed chip leader in the small
blind raises I have 28 blinds and ace
king off suit at this point I wanted
just three bet to induce I know they're
very aggressive they know I'm very
aggressive but I think it's better I see
my is just
jam over this open with these shorter
stacks still in the game we have an off
suit ace on the button that's gonna be
good enough for a raise our plan is to
call the big blind and fold the small
blind
luckily they both fold and we take it
down we're currently second in chips
with pocket nines and the small blind
facing the chip leaders button open we
could definitely three bet call but I
think it's more profitable with ICM four
handed to just open rip this for over 30
blinds we shove all in and we take it
down falls to us in the small blind we
have a suited one gap er easy shove
considering the fourth man has seven
blinds and our big blind doesn't want to
bust before he does we take it down
we're now three handed and I pick up
pocket aces on the button I love pocket
aces let's put in the men raised which
we're gonna do with our whole range
three handed hopefully we can battle
with the chip leader he's thinking about
a three bet but he just puts in the call
the flop comes seven high two spades we
don't have the ace of spades but we do
want to size up to just over half pot go
for value hopefully he'll over value
something like seven eight six five six
four he just puts in the call though the
turn is a seven of spades one of the
worst cards in the deck for us his top
hair makes trips
he makes flushes so no real reason to
bet this we check it back the river is
at 10 unfortunately 8 9 now gets there
if they're to bet they can bet as value
with 10 9 10 8 maybe even some 6x combos
maybe a slow played over pair facing
this over half pot size but I think we
still have to put in the call because
our hand is so under upped wait after
our check on the turn so let's call they
have a set if they would have raised the
flop they would have stacked us luckily
they did not and we didn't get our aces
completely cracked blind versus blind
facing a limp I think King four is a
fine hand to check back we usually want
to raise polar jack 10/10 it's standard
for them to min bet stab this flop I
think King high is good enough to
continue we're gonna have the best high
hand at least 50%
I'm here should we put in the call the
turn brings an off suit six day check I
view this as a give up they could have
any two cards not necessarily ace high
or a pair so we're gonna actually bet
for value here with our King high two
blinds should do it
let's bet 70,000 they think about it and
put in the call at this pointing I'm
putting in on a 6x type of hand maybe
even a weak Jack when the King comes on
the river I think we definitely have the
best hand and we have to go for value to
get paid by ace high Jack X or 6x so we
bet just over half of the pot he goes
into the tank and eventually puts in the
call kings and tens are good we got him
on the river we're still three handed
second and chips button opens very wide
we have an ace in the small blind a
great spot to three bet we go just over
three x action folds to the big blind
who jams it all in putting us to the
test button folds and East six is just
not strong enough to call most people
don't cold for bat light especially at
final tables and they take it down right
now the short stack at the final table
three handed we have a king high on the
button a little bit too much to Jam a
little too strong to fold so we min
raise actually folds the big blind that
he puts in the call flop comes six high
grade flop for our hand even with the
backdoor spade draw when they check to
us we have to put in a value bet just
over half pot and they put in the call
the turn brings the third Spade it's
good and bad for us it isn't over card
we're still putting them on verse six a
five or three maybe a pair in a straight
draw not to meet made flushes in their
range but I think it's fine to check
back for deception play various rivers
the river brings an off suit 10 and they
over bet pop jam into us they're putting
us to the test they slow play a straight
asset
two pair a flush a lot of hands beat us
now I have to think about what's hands
would bluff us all this Forex combos
maybe even turning some bottom pairs
into a bluff or ace of spades X could be
turned into a bluff at this point as ace
high doesn't have much showdown value
when I check back the turn sometimes you
just got a man up and put in the call
with third pair we call and he has
pocket deuces with the deuce of spades
he had a flush blocker yet somewhat of a
straight blocker not the worst hand to
do it with but we picked it off and we
now have a lot more chips we have
reclaimed the chip lead the button opens
were in the small blind with pocket
sevens slam-dunk Jam it's hard to make a
pair we got a pair we got a lot of fold
equity they don't want to go out third
we take it down very similar situation
the button opens folds us in the big
blind we have pocket tens easy Jam here
lots of money to pick up in the middle
let's get that money let's put the
pressure on when we have double the
chips the second place and they're about
equal and stacks we can really abuse the
bubble as effectively and raise almost
any two so we're gonna do this with
seven six and take it down at a high
frequency wide button range as chip
leader this King 7 suited is a pretty
close call with Nash equilibrium but
would rather be the one raising than the
one calling in this situation definitely
could read Jam a seven six suited but we
can wait for better spots my opponents
go to the river one bets one shoves and
there's a call they both have a flush a
player is eliminated and we're now heads
up for the title we have almost even
stacks heads up they left the button I
checked back my option with the suited
King flop a flush draw I think this is a
good board to lead heads up with the
range advantage I bet half pot and they
raised about 3x definitely could call
here but we don't want to face a big
barrel on the turn if we don't improve
that makes our hand kind of
word so we can continue our initiative
and try to win the pot right now and
raise make it all threes hopefully they
fold if they continue hopefully we hit a
flush or a king on the turn and we can
barrel barrel the turn is an off suit 7
that's a great card for their continuing
range they now have all the straights
all the two pairs I can't beat much and
I don't expect them to fold much if I
was to continue with my story with an
over bet jam or a third pot bet so we're
gonna check and hopefully they check
back or possibly bet small we can
continue to hope to hit a flush
unfortunately did not bet small II bet
as large as possible they're all in we
cannot continue and we give up not
extremely happy with how I played this
hand but hey sometimes it doesn't work
out raise up the button with Jack high
and we get a call flop comes Queen 2 10
8 we have a gutter so might as well bet
it hopefully they'll fold if not
hopefully we get there we've had just
over half pot they put in the call turn
is the six completing the flush and 9 7
we can't be much and we don't expect
them to fold much so we check and give
up facing a limp from the button with
Queen 4 off and the big blind this is a
fine hand to raise it up hopefully we
can take it down pre if not we can rep a
lot of high card boards that contain an
Ace or King unfortunately he is not
having it and he puts in the old limp
re-raise I have a feeling this is
premeditated it's not just a thing out
of frustration we got to give him credit
this time and we fold with pocket sevens
on the button easy open they defend flop
comes ace 6 3 rainbow great flop to C
bet don't be afraid of the ACE odds are
he's gonna 3 bet a high percentage of
his aces and we actually betting for
value against all of his 6x and 3x
combos facing a button limp 10-4 suited
is a fine hand to check behind we want
to be raising polar from the big blind
when the flop comes 3 2 a flush we flop
a flush a lot of people will check here
but I think it's better to lead out they
would give us less credit for a lead out
than a check so hopefully we can build
the pot and get some action
unfortunately they have nothing and they
fold that's gambling start this hand
with 26 blinds facing a raise in the big
blind with King seven suited I think
it's too much to jam I don't want a
three bet so I just put in the call the
flop comes Queen ten and nine with one
club this hits our range pretty hard
pretty good pretty neutral range
advantage here though so we're just
gonna go for the check raise hopefully
get some fold equity and plan on
barreling any jack or club on the turn
hopefully he folds they fold and we take
it down with just over 30 blinds on the
button we have a Sadoff suit so we're
gonna do a standard open our ponents
been very aggressive they're a competent
reg they know ranges so they're gonna
three bet a high percentage versus my
wide button open a say it isn't the best
hand to call three but with in this
stack depth but it does have a relevant
blocker and it's gonna be the best hand
at good amount at the time sometimes
sometimes you just got to stick it in
there and hope for the best
it's a big game of chicken who's gonna
blink first we're all in they put in the
call 810 they made a great read let's
win the board comes out as a chop and we
avoid disaster and we're still in the
game here's another example of raising
polar out of the blinds ten-four off is
not going to play well post flop
especially post flop on a position this
way allows us to give us two chances to
win the pot preflop or post flop with
the initiative nine four offsuit is
probably the stone bottom of my button
raising range but hey got to mix it in
there and hopefully they fold you should
defend any suited hand heads up so we're
gonna call the jack five suited and play
some streets the flop comes ace high
with our flush draw your gut may say hey
let's lead hey let's check raise but in
reality they do
the range advantage on ace high boards
although it's light because ranges are
very wide heads up so we're gonna go for
the check haul and the plan is to check
Jam based on stack to pot ratios
depending on what the turn card is the
Turner's the three of Hearts giving us
the wheel draw an addition to our flush
draw
check calling Jack high isn't a great
plan but check raising looks very strong
not many people do this on the turn
people play passively out of position
with drawers so it's our job to play
aggressively in capture fold equity we
can incredibly rep a lot of two pair of
combos ace deuce ace three King three
King deuce even pocket deuces
occasionally the four or five of Spades
so let's go for it we're all in the very
next hand we pick up pocket tens hook
line and sinker we put in our standard
raise we're praying for action and they
give us action they give us the just
under 3x3 bet stacks are right for a
four bet Jam we did for bet jam the ACE
eight earlier they'll remember this
hopefully they'll call us with any pair
and maybe even some suited ace is that
we really dominate maybe we can fold out
broad ways that are getting out of line
like King Jack or King Queen so we're
all in pocket tens let's win they put in
the call they also have a premium ace
king let's hold to get that trophy
