WSOP Deep Stack Mistake #8: Failing to Plan for Pot Commitment
As explained above, deep stacks may call for betting patterns that players who play primarily tournament poker don’t often have cause to use. The key is to look ahead to the last bet and then plan backwards. Check-raising may not be the best way to play a big draw if it won’t enable you to commit your entire stack. When this is the case, you should consider leading out with the intention of 3-betting. Failing that, checking and calling with the intention of trying to get paid off after hitting your draw may be the best option.
Similarly, when stacks are very deep, even pot-sized bets on three streets may not be sufficient to get all of your money in. So when you have a monster, you should look to check-raise or try to induce a raise from your opponent in order to build a larger pot than you could with betting alone.
