Jase,
Thanks for another great series. I have a question about hand #231. Blinds were 500/1000 and you were in the SB with 2-2. Villain opens from MP with a raise to 2,200. He has you covered and you are 41 BB deep effectively. It folds to you and you fold saying you don’t want to play this hand out of position. It seems to me that this is a good spot to set mine. Wondering what your criteria is to set mine in a situation like this
Thanks

Thanks for the question JLB. I think factors other then stack size influence our decision in a spot like this. One important factor is the stack size in the big blind. If the big blind has a 3bet shove stack (10-25 bbs) we dont want to have a wide flatting range in the sb because were going to have to fold to a jam from a bb a decent amount of the time. We can also open our flatting range a bit if we feel we have a significant postflop edge on the opener.
In general though, I would want to be at least 50-60 bbs deep to flat an mp raise in the sb with small pairs.

Enjoy the series so far, especially as I have played this event several times.
At min 36 you play a hand from the BB with As5s and opt for the check raise on 6skc7c flop, I like the play and understand the reasons for it. However, I feel you could have added more to it by adding in representing clubs i.e. adding that bluff to your continue betting turn range. Its a pretty scary looking board, and therefore looks scary to our opponents regardless of what they flopped. And often times a check raise on a flop like that will look like a flush draw to our opponents so play to their fears and bet again. You may have to fully commit on the river to get sets to fold but I think you win this pot way more often then you lose it. Don’t forget if the board looks scary to us it most likely looks scary to them.

With the 77 open UTG, aren’t you effectively just giving up on the hand when you don’t continuation on the flop? You can easily have AQ/AJ/KK raising, I think you would’ve just took it down with a continuation bet. What’s the point in raising 77 utg if you are going to check the flop against one opponent when two overs hit, surely this is just wasting chips in the long term?
