Here's another hand from this summer's $5,000 six-handed no-limit hold'em World Series of Poker event, this one coming from a little bit deeper in the tournament. As the title suggests, I end up making a decent hand in this one, but chose a cautious route on the river. What would you have done?
The blinds were 1,000/2,000 with a 300 ante and I'd built up a stack of close to 140,000 to begin the hand.
A tight-aggressive player with about 80,000 to start opened for 4,200 from the hijack seat. It folded to me in the big blind where I was dealt , a nice suited two-gapper with which I was glad to defend with a call.
