Today's hand comes from a recent World Poker Tour event, a $3,500 buy-in tournament. It features an interesting river decision where I make a strong hand but face a leading bet, forcing me to decide whether to raise for value or be cautious and just call.
The hand came up relatively early on when the blinds were 50/100 and everyone was deep-stacked. Playing from the button, I was dealt and opened with a raise to 300. The big blind called, and the two of us saw the flop come .
My opponent checked, I bet 350 (a little over half the pot), and my opponent called.
