Give us your opinion within the comments section below to your chance at winning a six-month Card Player magazine digital subscription.

Ask any group of poker players the way you played your hand and they’ll get a hold of dozens of various opinions. That’s just the character of the game.

Each week, Card Player will select a hand from the high-stakes, big buy-in poker world, break it down and show that there’s a couple of method to get the job done.

The Scenario

There are nine players remaining in a tournament and only seven will make the cash. You might be currently in third place with a stack of 1,552,000. The blinds are 15,000-30,000 with a 3,000 ante, providing you with 51 big blinds to work with. One player has just three big blinds remaining. Another short stack has 15 big blinds.

The chip leader, who has a stack of 2,803,000, raises to 75,000 from early position. You look down at KSpade SuitKDiamond Suit within the hijack and judge to name. The small blind, who has a medium stack of 1,400,000, calls as well.

The flop comes down QClub Suit7Spade Suit7Heart Suit and the small blind checks. The initial raiser bets 130,000 and also you call. The small blind folds and the turn is the JClub Suit.

Your opponent bets 220,000 and also you call again. The river is the 8Diamond Suit and your opponent bets 375,000.

The Questions

Do you call, raise or fold? If raising, how much? What worse hands do you are expecting to get called by? What range of hands is your opponent representing? Do you regret not raising on an earlier street? How does the bubble affect your decision? Do you are feeling you made the utmost by slow playing your hand?

Leonid MarkinWhat Actually Happened

At the EPT Prague Super High Roller event, Stephen Chidwick opted to name along with his pocket kings on a board reading QClub Suit7Spade Suit7Heart SuitJClub Suit8Diamond Suit.

His opponent, Leonid Markin, could only show down QSpade Suit8Spade Suit for 2 pair. Chidwick’s superior two pair took down the pot and temporarily gave him the chip lead.

Chidwick went directly to finish in third place, earning €355,070. Markin rebounded from the hit to his stack to win the tournament, banking €771,360 and his first major tournament title.
