Strategy
2/5 table at the rio. I’m in the sb with AsQc. UTG limps for 5, UTG +1 raises to 15. Folds around to a pretty tight player on the button who makes it $45. I call, the limper calls, and UTG +1 calls.
Flop ($180): Ah9s8h
I bet $135. The UTG limper folds and the UTG +1 ships it all in pretty quickly so it’s $455 total – $320 more. Button folds….
Enjoyed the segment, thanks! There’s a fair amount of crossover between bridge: Steve Zolotow is an active. “Thorladen” is one of the most successful bridge players and has one of the best partnerships. For any local club game, yeah lots of 70 something’s but the top level is dominated by guys in their 30’s and 40’s so it takes a lot longer to become good.
