Three-Betting
Late in tournaments, aggression is key. With aggression comes three-betting and here are two recent examples of that from two players on separate tables. Each of them has a different plan of attack as you can see from their bet sizing.
On one table, Jeffrey Holbrook three-bet to 16,300 from the small blind after the button opened to 4,500. The big blind and the original raiser both folded and Holbrook took the pot to move to 57,000 in chips.
On an adjacent table, the hijack seat opened to 4,100 and Michael Guzzardi three-bet to 9,200 from the button. The two blinds and the hijack seat all folded to give Guzzardi the pot, allowing him to chip up to 66,000.
