  1. 11 people left, chip leader has been active and using his stack to abuse me in particular with 3-bets pre and reraising my c-bets postflop when he had position (I was cl with 22 left, lost it to him on a series of bluffs gone bad). Smallstack has been extremely nitty and recently doubled up thru me with A4 vs 710 bvb. How do you procced?

  2. snap high 5
  3. feels as though aitchison is trying to isolate with a mid range pp 88-1010 and take a race against the short stack. get your chips in and plan ur strategy as new chip leader
  4. If you want to make final table this is an easy fold.

    Ya pretty much, there is no discussion unless the OP starts the hand with 30-35 BBs minimum.

    also, it's the daily dollar rebuy. CL probably knows he can bully people pretty easily as OP suggested, but I'd bet that CL's idea of his hand strength is probably a weeeeee bit lighter then it oughta be. I can't ever fold here -for this reason as well as what everyone else said.

    Nice slow roll.

    Sorry you lost better luck next time with your 75/25s
  12. When he came over the top with his 840,000 raise I initially thought he was using his stack to bully and iso the smallstack shove. I wasn't focused so much on how much his bet was committing my stack, but that it seemed that he was giving himself a way out of the hand if I come over the top (even tho it was a little less than half my stack). I think folding QQ here would be a terrible leak given his tendency to 3-bet frequently preflop. In a different situation with 40-50BB's vs a different opponent I could probably find a fold here. But anyways, here's what happened...
