Jonathan reviews a hand that Ethan 'Rampage Poker' Yau played during a World Poker Tour $10,000 tournament at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker casino. He flops two overcards and an open ended straight draw which leads to some tricky decisions as the hand progresses!
Jonathan talks about how the effective stack should help guide your strategy when you have a draw. Generally you want to play more passively when you have a middling stack between 40-60bb as you end up being in a horrible situation if you face a shove from your opponent.
Rampage takes a non-standard line on the turn as he decides to lead the turn when the board pairs. Although this card is good for his range, he has to consider that the big blind has also continued in the hand and will have a lot of 8's in his range. The button can also have a lot of eights in his range as there are many more 8's in a button's opening range compared to an early position raise.
Jonathan talks about how Rampage should consider what his image is to his opponents. He is known to get after it and is not afraid to bluff. This will mean that opponents that watch his poker vlog may be more inclined to call with their bluff catchers which Rampage should be aware of.
This poker hand took place during the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown! This was during event #37 which was a Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry) with a hefty $10,000 buy-in meaning some of the worlds best poker players were battling it out in this field.
The hand starts with Anthony raising from the button with 76cc. Rampage decides to defend from the small blind with T9cc and another player in the big blind also defends. Three players head to the flop which is the 8d 7d 4s. An action flop for both Rampage and Anthony. Anthony continues with a half pot bet to which Rampage and both the big blind call.
The 8c is revealed on the turn and now Rampage decides to lead with his straight draw and two overs. The big blind folds but Anthony calls with his middle pair.
The river is a brick for both players as it's the 4h, although now the board is double paired. Rampage now continues his story and turns his hand into a bluff betting 1.3x pot on the river. Can Anthony sniff this out and make a great hero call?
