WSOP Event # 2 trip report

[Masquerade]

I know it works for Negreanu but isnt calling with 56s UTG just bad? At least wait for JTs.

I would do it in the first round of the WSOP ME with deep money and lots of bad players. Also in a rebuy or a low buyin tournament.

Brunson says that 65s has certain advantages over JTs, since when you connect it is less likely someone else did.

With 30xBB UTG, I am playing very tight. Negreanu, Hanson, Ivey, or Brunson may be able to get away with playing looser.

Also, this kind of play may work against bad players who will overplay top pair. In a $1,500 tournament I would save my chips here.
