countering a bully?
I was playing a live tournament. 100 entries. t1500 to start so 150k in play. paid top 9.
Chipleader ( not me ) had about 90k with 10 people left. Second biggest stack had about 20k. I had 7400. Lowest stack 1800. Chipleader knocked out so many players so quick that blinds were still only at 400-800. Now since everyone was pretty low stacked the chipleader had gone all-in blind for four hands in a row and had not gotten called once, since we were in the bubble. The fifth hand he again went all in UTG and im MP and look down at A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]- 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. My main problem is that UTG+1 is the shortest stack and will probably have one more hand of play unless he doubles up. I figure against a random hand im probably 60-40. I like to think of myself as a sole go for first guy... but noticing all those short-stacks and one monster stack im just hoping to place high. So what do you think, take the risk? |

Re: countering a bully?
No, wait for a better spot. Its likely that someone (maybe you with a better hand) will take a bite out of the bully and slow him down within the next few orbits.

Definately wait for a better spot. It doesn't cost you anything to fold, but could cost you everything to call.

Given the profile of stack sizes, your going to see the bubble burst and then if big stack continues to bully, a flurry of people getting knocked out quick. Hang tight and wait for a better spot.
