Silver Level
this is a live $165 turbo. blinds are 1k/5k/10k
We have 14 players left and 12 are paid. I am probably tournament chip leader but definitely table chip leader with about 450k (45bb)
so it folds to the button (280k 28bb) he is a young good player I don't have much experience playing with him but I've seen him around he's always got chips late in tourneys and my quick assessment is he's roughly as good as me; I can assign him similar ranges that I might have and they should be close. nobody else at the table is very good.
He raises to 25k from Button. SB flats off a stack of about 125k (he's weak tight and will just look at a flop and donk jam or check fold). I have and consider 3b but I figure this is a hand that has decent playability and I don't suspect Button is opening vs my BB super light due to stack/bubble situation. He knows I haven't been folding my BB much.
so I flat we take a flop. pot contains 82k flop
it checks to button he Cbets 50k SB folds. I take a moment cutting out chips like I'm considering a raise or a flat, then I flat. (I feel like the flat reps strong hands better on this dry board). I think he has a wide cbetting range and he is a good candidate for me to take the pot away later. esp because I'm only player at table that covers him and we're nearing the bubble.
turn pot (182k)
I look at flop 2-3 seconds then jam (~200k effective).
He tanks forever. I know he is gonna quickly call with pretty much any Q or better so the tank is good.
what do we think of this line? it's pure pressure/bubble play. If he calls with something like 77-JJ I'll have 15 outs (~30%) and if I lose I'll still have 17bb which is about average.
