WSOP final table hand

[ClaytonN]

On a flop of K62r, what hands is Tex capable of betting? It seems to me on such an open drawless board that, in position, Tex would be betting a lot more hands than Kx.

With that said, and the amount of money in the pot, I really want to get all my chips in the pot here, probably via a flop c/r allin

My first instinct is to push preflop especially since you are entering the blinds next hand. I don't like playing QQ OOP and I'm happy to pick up the blinds and antes with this hand given stack size.

Check raise!!! You got nothing to loose but double up.If he has a king (which I doubt) God bless him.

This hand was just the Holdem/Foldem on the WSOP final table episode if anyone was interested.

i can't imagine folding this hand after commiting that much of my stack. I agree w/ Tyler too, the 350k in the pot is plenty, those antes are HUGE. you can't look at your situation as "16x BB" when the ante is like 1/7th the BB.

I'm getting all my money in preflop, but sincec you just raised to 400k, maybe check-pushing is the wya to go. Cause if you push, you're probaably only called by a K, but you can (as seen by Hold'em of Fold'em get him to bet w/ hands you beat if you check)

That's cruel, having suffered not knowing for a few months, you've now got to suffer knowing.

Congratulations nevertheless on the great cash.

Had no idea you were a 2+2er, congrats on the amazing showing, I hope you're back to stay.

I think Shaniac said it best, once you got QQ with that stack you have to know all the chips are going to end up in the middle, even on a K or A high flop.

I probably push preflop here.

You have enough chips to last for 6 orbits, which is equivalent to ~9xBB in terms of how long you can wait for another good hand.

Once you see that flop, I think check-raising is best, folding is an option but weak, and open pushing is terrible – you get no money from hands you’re ahead of and lose when you’re behind. You need to let Ax and mid pairs take a stab at it and might even be more likely to get weak K’s to fold.

Out of curiousity, what was the standard open raise to? Since there is $340 in the pot, your $400 bet is sort of like a typical Party tourney with blinds at 1k-2k and openraising for 3k or something so it seems very low, but then I don’t really play tourneys with antes much.
