Seniors Redefining A-B-C Poker

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

With the seniors sticking to their strategy of playing fundamental, A-B-C poker, we haven't had the pleasure of seeing the flop in three full orbits. The action has become as predictable as clockwork, with the players folding around in unison, followed by a raise from the cutoff or button.

These preflop raises from the traditional "stealing" positions are receiving maximum respect, and while many young guns of poker would test the waters with a three-bet, the word "reraise" is apparently not in this table's vocabulary. With the blinds scheduled to escalate quite rapidly in the next few hours, these seniors may be forced to open their game against their will.
