In the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP), I was playing the $1,500 NLH/PLO Mix event and played an interesting hand. It took place in the 300/600/600 level in a round of no-limit hold’em when I looked down at the under the gun.
I was sitting with 26,000 and opted to raise to 1,600 first to act. Action folded around to the player in the big blind, who was a well-known, good pro sitting with 28,400 (47 BBs). I knew that particular player was not afraid to get in there and battle, and he did call to see the flop.
