This week we’re focused on a tournament scenario where you are out of position against a tough player in early position who opens to 2.5BBs, you raise to 10BBs from the Big Blind and they call.
This is an interesting situation due to the larger sizing of 4x the UTG+1 player’s raise since you’re out of position. In addition, remaining stacks in relation to the pot size going to the flop are relatively shallow with an approximate Stack to Pot Ratio of 2. These factors coupled with your opponent being in position postflop, leads to a higher calling frequency of your raise even with some of their biggest hands.
