High Level Strategy in the High Roller

Level 14 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

"If you got dealt pocket eights every hand, what would you do?" was the question posed by Martin Kabrhel, not usually one to shy away from such conversation points. "How would you play them?" he asked Sam Grafton.

"I dunno, probably just set mine every hand," replied Grafton.

"Limp every hand?" offered Bryn Kenney as a suggestion, "Catch some short stacks?"

"After a while, you might be able to put him on a hand!" said Sam Trickett.

In one hand Kabrhel limped in the small blind and Ole Schemion raised to 150,000 in the big blind. Kabrhel folded.

"I folded sevens; I know he has eights!" said Kabrhel.
