THE SCENARIO
Blinds: 25,000-50,000 with a 5,000 ante
Your Hand: 6 3
Stack Sizes: You (7.28 million) Opponent (5.065 million)
The Action: A player in middle position raises to 120,000. You decide to reraise in position to 310,000. Your opponent calls, and you both take a flop of 10 9 8.
It’s checked to you, and you bet 375,000. Your opponent makes the call, and the turn is the 7, giving you the bottom end of the straight.
Your opponent checks once again. Assuming no physical tells or history with this player, what do you do?
YOUR OPTIONS
Option A: Check behind.
Option B: Make a small value bet, somewhere in the range of 550,000 to 800,000.
Option C: Make a big value bet, somewhere in the range of 1 million to 1.5 million.
Option D: Overbet the pot, somewhere between 2 million and your opponent’s last 4.4 million.
