Watch two of the best tournament poker players in the world battle it out in the $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl VIII tournament in the PokerGO studio in Las Vegas. Chris Brewer takes on Jason Koon as they both flop trips. Watch how two of the greatest minds in poker navigate this interesting spot!
Many players will think that Chris Brewer should have raised from the small blind with his A8o but if you actually look at the optimal GTO charts you will see that the small blind has a huge limping strategy when playing around 50bb effective.
On the flop Jason Koon opts for a very small size on the flop after his raise pre-flop. This is because he has to consider Brewer's overall range, it is unlikely to contain an ace at this point as Koon has one of them and two are on the board! For this reason Koon wants to keep Brewer in with as much of his range that will be completely dominated.
Koon decides to size up on the turn which will allow him to set up for a roughly pot sized river shove if Brewer does decide to call. It's always important to be very well aware of the effective stack size and how you can manipulate your bet sizing to be able to reasonably shove on the river with your strongest hands and some bluffs that make sense! Brewer still cannot fold to the turn bet especially as he has the 8d which may bail him out if a 4th diamond comes on the river.
Making big folds in poker tournaments is never an easy thing to do but it is something you MUST master if you want to suceed in becoming a winning poker player. Be aware of your opponent's tendencies and range of hands rather than just your specific hand in relation to the board. Brewer does have a very strong hand even by the river but he correctly identifies that Koon may have a stronger hand.
