In my latest strategy column for PokerNews, I’m going to talk about a hand from the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event. In it, I bluff two streets and then make top pair on the river. When I bet for value, my opponent jams, putting me in a terrible spot for my tournament life! What would you do here?
It all started in the 1,500/3,000/3,000 level when an early-position player (83 BBs) raised to 7,500 and I looked down at the in the hijack. This is a spot where I should either three-bet or fold the majority of the time.
