My latest poker strategy article, A Wide Range Situation From the Main Event, is now appearing in the August 2014 issue of Two Plus Two Magazine. It references an earlier article I wrote and analyzes the last hand that I played in the 2014 WSOP Main Event:
Although every hand that could have me in bad shape – sets, overpairs, higher flush draws, even two-pairs – are presumably in the Button’s range, I don’t want to approach this situation by thinking about how I can get away from my hand if I am up against a monster. I’m a 60-40 favorite against the Button’s random hand, and even against the top of my opponent’s range my equity is not bad, so I’m ready to commit my stack. What I really want is for one of my opponents to put some money into the pot with one of the many weak hands in his range and ultimately fold to my shove.
