Grind It Out

With the initial storm having passed and many of the shortest stacks now on the sidelines, play has settled into a more predictable rhythm. Big pots are the exception rather than the norm. Even when pots are three-bet before the flop, action after the flop is often scarce.

Dan Shak recently played one of those three-bet flops, but surrendered a pot of 18,500 to a single bet of 12,000 on an all-small flop, {2-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades}. Marco Traniello did the same on a board of {8-Clubs} {5-Spades} {9-Clubs}, check-folding to a single bet from his opponent.
