Schwartz More than Doubles

Shirley Ang

Level 9 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The dealer was spotted counting out stacks as Noah Schwartz had the A♥K♠ in front of him in the cutoff position with the board showing a runout of 8♥A♣5♣5♥9♦.

Alex Anton still had his Q♠Q♥ open as he was counting out his chips to pay Schwartz his double-up as his pocket queens couldn't beat Schwartz's higher two pair.

How to Exploit Non-GTO Players With GTO Wizard

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sandra Barbour

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There is a common misconception that you do not need to study Game Theory Optimal (GTO) strategies if you frequent low-to-mid-stakes games. While it is true that many players at these limits stray far away from equilibrium, using a solver like GTO Wizard can still provide significant benefits.

Knowing about poker's fundamental factors and strategic concepts, and being able to identify what your opponents are doing wrong, enables you to devise a strategy to capitalize on those errors.

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With around 130,000 in the middle, the board read 4♥9♥J♠6♠.

Chin Wei Lim shoved for 88,500 from the small blind for Masashi Oya to consider his options in the big blind with the bigger stack. In the end, he called for the cards to go on their backs.

Chin Wei Lim: 10♦8♦ All in
Masashi Oya: A♥9♣

Lim had flopped the open-ended straight draw while Oya was sitting on a pair of nines with the ace-kicker.

The river completed the board with the 3♣ to keep Oya ahead and send Lim on his way.

Shirley Ang

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With around 60,000 in the middle, the flop read 4♠3♣3♥.

In the small blind, Christoph Vogelsang check-called the 34,000 bet by Johannes Straver in the big blind.

The turn was the A♥, they both tanked and both checked.

The river completed the board with the 10♣. Vogelsang took about 30 seconds before the check came through. Straver also took some time before opting to bet 53,000. Vogelsang took one last look at his cards before pushing them over the line for the fold.
