king high flush in tournament

[betgo]

Usually later on in a reasonably high buyin with the blinds pretty big, it becomes a blind stealing game like PL/NL/limit holdem tournaments. Someone will put in a raise. This will either take the blinds, be called, or get reraised. If the money is shallow enough, the original raiser won't be able to fold to a reraise.

I have played the $50-$200 tournaments on Stars. Until late it is hard to get anyone to fold to a raise. A lot of times someone will limp in with junk and call my raise. They will make some 2-pair and all the money will go in on the flop versus my overpair and high flush draw.

The PLO/8 tournaments get really silly in that people will limp in and cold call two pot sized raises. Since strong hands are close in value, they don't lose that much playing that way. If you raise, you often wind up just in a close gamble for all your chips.
