Nacho Barbero, don't look too closely at his hat, it has a rude word on
Nacho Barbero, don't look too closely at his hat, it has a rude word on

This is the decision being asked widely around the tournament rooms now as the shorter (and even average) stacks have started to exert the big all-in bet pressure on their fellow players pre and post flop, being able then to sit back and if not relax exactly, at least rest a bit while their opponents have to make the big call or big fold.

Just now the button raised to 6,200 and Team Pokerstars Pro Nacho Barbero upped it to 18k in the small blind. Over to big blind Balazs Botond who out of the blue moved his 135k stack all in preflop. The button was no longer interested but Barbero had a good long think about it, before finally passing. The amiable Barbero has under 200k now and is pictured.

Elsewhere it was Jason Wheeler who'd moved in for 80k+ into a pot of around 45k on a flop of {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades}. He favoured the head-down approach, resting his face on his crossed arms and waiting patiently for his opponent to fold or call (he folded). No reads on a hat, I imagine.
