Andrew Brokos concludes his hand history review this week. In part 4, he starts with 30bbs. He does a good job of picking his spots and not being too spewy with his steals. In part 5, he starts with a little under 40bbs and runs it up to a huge stack before making an admittedly bad call that crippled him.

In this article, bigdog talks about checking for value. This concept simply means checking a value hand from out of position in a spot where you expect an aggressive villian to bluff. This play has become more prevalent in today’s game due to so many players being over aggressive and taking every bluff or thin value spot.
