Poker player and author Jonathan Little gives advice during the WSOP $1K Super Turbo with Bounties Event. Average stack size is around 20 big blinds. What flexibility do you have with that stack size? How should the $300 bounties factor into your play? What should you be limping with? What should you NOT be limping with? He also comments on how his close friend poker player David Peters plays pots against him.
The board read 
and Mike Watson checked to his opponent who then bet 2,000 into a pot around 3,200. Watson pushed in his remaining 1,500 and flipped over 
for queen high.
His opponent tabled 
for a pair of twos and Watson would need to connect on the run-out. The turn did just that as the 
hit the felt. Watson moved ahead with a pair of threes and the 
on the river changed nothing as he doubled up.
