    OK. It's the first hand of the WSOP Main Event. You are in middle position with 7h2s and UTG raises 4xBB and UTG+1 makes it 2500 to go. What do you do? Fold? Call?? Reraise??? All in???? Insta-triple chair spin?

    Ummmmm. On second thought forget it. I'm going to let my time bank expire and then click sit out.

    You're gonna "click sit out" in a live tournament? How preposterous (even more so the fact that you would do that with 7h-2s, they obviously both have 6h-2c and 5h-2d).

    You insta-triple-chair spin then go give Steven Banananamen a high-five and call all of your buddies about how you got two donkeys all-in preflop totally s000t dominated!

    First, let 'em know you got their hands in the cookie jar. They clearly both have AA, and they have no idea that you and the dealer are in cohoots. Smooth call that shit and watch as you flop quad 2's. Now here's the tricky part. Since they are both going to check their nut full houses, you need to go into Hollywood mode. What are you trying to portray here? That you flopped a flush draw and back door straight draw. You want them to be sweating their check to you, as they both are now realizing they gave you the opportunity to semi-bluff at this pot. And that's what you do. Bet out 50. Sweeten the pot. Trembling now, they won't be messing around. All-in. Call. And now, you say, "Guess my flush draw is no good. I call." Two back-flips, and you're on your way to the final table. Peace.
