SCOOP $2K Bounty HH Review with Ben “KidCardiff6” Warrington
Ben Warrington continues his review of his run in the 2K Bounty SCOOP on Stars. In part 5, he begins with over 200bbs as he finishes off the series without Ash.

In part 6, he starts with 75bbs and picks up AA on the first hand at the final table which features 2 Poker Stars pros. He stays aggressive and continues to build his stack which allows him to out last both of them. The TPE Nation owns.

This will tell you how good of a price you need to put your chips at risk for various stack sizes. In the end, he concluded that we cannot know the answer to this because of a paradox which basically says, the bigger your edge, the more spots you should pass up, which eventually reduces your edge to some point where you shouldn’t pass up some of those spots in the future. I don’t know man. I just click buttons.
