Today I want to review a hand I played not long ago in a $3,500 buy-in World Poker Tour event, one that presents a somewhat common though not easy river decision.
The hand comes from very early on when the blinds were still 50/100 and I had a stack of 30,000.
It folded around to me on the button and after being dealt I raised to 300. I talk in the video a little about the potential advantages of raising such speculative hands early in tournaments when the stacks are deep.
The big blind called, then check-called my continuation bet after I missed the flop.
