Ask any group of poker players the way you played your hand and they’ll get a hold of dozens of various opinions. That’s just the character of the game.

Each week, Card Player will select a hand from the high-stakes, big buy-in poker world, break it down and show that there’s a couple of technique to get the job done.

The Scenario

There are 32 players remaining in a tournament out of a starting 1,054. You might be within the money and warranted $7,864, although you might be sitting on a small pay jump to $8,752. The prize pool is very top heavy, with first place being $1 million and the runner-up prize worth about $250,000.

You have 1,202,000 in chips, that's a top 10 stack. The blinds are 12,000-24,000 with a 3,000 ante, meaning you might have 50 big blinds to work with.

The player under the gun is terribly short stacked, and moves all in for his last 31,000. You're next to behave and look down at KK. You raise to 60,000 and the villain, who has you covered, calls behind you.

The action folds around to the massive blind, and he moves all in for his last 303,000. You are making the call, and in your surprise, so does the villain.

The flop comes down KQJ and also you are first to behave. There may be 976,000 more often than not pot and a dry side pot with two all-in players. You've 896,000 left for your stack.

The Questions

Do you check or bet? Are you betting to maximise value, or protect your hand on a draw-heavy flop? For those who play this fast or slow? Given your line, what range of hands are you able to reasonably represent? Given your opponent’s line, what hands are in his range? If the action goes check, check, what do you do at the turn?

What Actually Happened

At the 2016 Winstar River Poker Series main event, Daniel Fuhs opted to bet 325,000 right into a dry side pot holding top set on a flop of KQJ.

His opponent, Brian Reinert, quickly folded and Fuhs turned over his hand. The primary all-in player, Maxx Coleman, held 33 and the second one all-in player, Viet Vo, held 1010.

Vo had outs to a straight, however the board completed with the 5 and 5, giving Fuhs a whole house. Coleman earned $7,864 for his 32nd-place finish and Vo picked up $8,752 for finishing a place higher.

Reinert lasted until 17th place, banking $14,942, while Fuhs made the overall table, busting in ninth place for $32,623. The eventual winner was Gordon Vayo, who made a deal during five-handed play to secure the title and a $587,120 payday.
