Watson Speaking With the Deck

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The board read {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} 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 {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for queen high.

His opponent tabled {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a pair of twos and Watson would need to connect on the run-out. The turn did just that as the {3-Hearts} hit the felt. Watson moved ahead with a pair of threes and the {a-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing as he doubled up.

What Not to Shove in a Super Turbo Bounty Poker Tournament

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

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.
