Jonathan Little Turns Trips But Faces Significant Action

Related Topics: Jonathan Little

Here's another interesting and educational tournament hand, one in which I played a speculative hand and turned something very strong, but ended up facing a lot of pressure from a player with position on me.

It was still relatively early in the tournament and I had built up to around 45,000, having an edge on others at the table who sat with around 30,000. With the blinds 75/150, I was dealt in middle position and raised to 400, getting two callers — a younger player in the hijack seat, and an older guy in the big blind.

The flop came and the big blind checked.
