(I've rounded off the chip stacks to make them easier to read)
This was a $3+rebuy on stars. I was between 5th-10th in chips and there were 43 people left. Because of the crappy payout structure only the final table is seeing any triple digit prizes.
Villian had recently moved to the table and this was the first pot he entered. I felt there was a good chance the flop had missed him, planned to call any weak c-bet and lead any turn.
Was this line good and/or would you have played it differently?
