Andrew, I resubscribed this month for this series. I loved the 1k live review you did a few years ago too. Kudos on another great live series. I’m looking at your table and it kind of appears like you’re a little handcuffed. All the players you’d want to play pots with most often are safely tucked together. To me, it looks like your best spots for chips are going to be from spazzes from the impatient guy while you’re the button, bored quick check/folds or tells associated with that when he defends. I’m sure a pro who is bored would be willing to defend way too liberally if you made your sizing bigger and played tighter while maintaining the image that you’re not. Other than that, it looks like you’ll have to utilize your multiway pot skills!
I was hoping you could elaborate on your preflop strategy a little bit blind vs blind at this table. Your stack is 70k at 200/400/50, and the German pro’s stack is unknown to me. Say he’s 150 bigs deep. What are your thoughts for raising nearly 4x vs any other size available? I’d love to hear that you use different raise sizes for exploitative reasons, but that’s another topic.

Thanks for the kind words. Against a good player BvB, I’m likely to do some combination of limping, folding, and raising 4x or so to deny him profitable ATC calls against my raising range.
