This week's hand comes from a European Poker Tour side event, a €2,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament. It was early with the blinds at 100/200 with a 25 ante, and I was sitting on a stack of around 25,000 when I was dealt in early position.
Before I could act, a loose-aggressive player opened for 550 from under the gun. Three-betting from early position looks incredibly strong here, and so I decided just to call so as to disguise the strength of my hand. The big blind called as well, and the three of us saw a flop come .
