My latest article, Off the Deep End, is now appearing in the May issue of 2+2 Internet Magazine. It’s designed to help tournament specialists adapt to playing deeper stacks such as those prevalent in the WSOP main event. Here’s an excerpt:
With deeper stacks, blind defense is less important but button defense is more important. The button is like a gold mine that you have to share with eight other prospectors. When it’s your turn to reap the gold, you can’t let the others beat you to it. An aggressive player on your right who regularly raises the pot ahead of you needs to be discouraged with frequent calls and re-raises.
If you have any questions or comments about the article, please leave them here or in the 2+2 Magazine Forum.
