In my last column I wrote about the need for aggression in stud tournaments at the World Series of Poker — a need that stems largely from the high ratio of the initial pot size to the size of the lower tier bet.
In low- and medium-stakes stud games, that initial complete bet is relatively large when compared to the pot. But in a WSOP tournament it is relatively small, which means the reward is much greater for a steal there than in most cash games.
A reader pointed out to me that the structure for WSOP tournaments is much like those of large-staked games.
