How the hell does Kondracki play TT, opening for 1/2 his stack instead of pushing?

Why bet over T1,000,000 at a pot with about T250,000 in it? He's got to build a stack. That means he's got to get called when he's got the best of it.

If you're going to call a push, why not push yourself, and if you're folding to a push, why put in 1/2 your stack?

Isn't this basic poker as related day in and day out in the MTT forum???

If you have a hand that you want to get action with(not saying this is the case here) then sometimes its better to not push right away but to make a smaller raise.

Absolutely, wholeheartedly agree...just not sure how much, if any action I honestly want here as you alluded to.

I understand, that he has to double to have a shot and those point are few and far between as Dynasty pointed out, just not sure that adding 25% at that point would outweigh my desire to double with exposing TT to action.

I really appreciate this discussion!
