Re: Deep in a Party $109, blind defense vs big stack?
I feel your pain. I've been on 2 109 FTs in the past week and went out of both in an identical fashion:
H1: Big stack in SB has been consistently stealing from me in the BB. He makes a standard 2BB raise, I look down at A7s and push. He calls with 88; and what really riled me was he didn't even think about it - he instacalled [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
H2: Big stack in CO raises, I push with AT, he calls with AK.
I think a lot depends on the texture of your table, but these two hands have certainly reenforced a number of fundamental aspects of MTTs:
1. Avoid the big stacks
2. Pick on the medium stacks and be the first in aggressor
I think this type of reraise does work, but you really have to make sure you pick on a big stack that is abusing his position i.e. raising 2 or more times an orbit.
