Ep 062 – KQ suited scenario

In this episode, Jonathan Little, Chris “Fox” Wallace, Derek Smith, Taylor Maas, Doug Behrens & host Steve Fredlund discuss a specific scenario facing a raise with KQ suited in late position:

  • 10 person table in early stages of tourney
  • Blinds are 300/600 with 100 ante
  • Everyone has 30,000 chips (50 big blinds)
  • Every player is a standard tight aggressive player
  • Folds to player in UTG+2 who raises to 1,600
  • Folds to us in cutoff with KQ hearts

The goal is to give thoughts on this base scenario, but then explore how some of the assumptions would have to change to change the action. So the questions posed to those providing input are:
1) What is your typical course of action under the base assumptions?
2) Holding all else equal, how would the stack size of the initial raiser have to change for us to change our action?
3) Holding all else equal, how would our stack size have to change for us to change our action?
4) Holding all else equal, how would the stacks sizes of those behind us have to change for us to change our action?
5) Holding all else equal, how would the player type of the initial player have to change for us to change our action?
6) Holding all else equal, how would the player type(s) of those behind us have to change for us to change our action?
7) What other factors would drive us to potentially change our action?

He also explains how he studied law in prison, wrote and filed many of his own briefs, sued the government, and ultimately got his sentence commuted.
