Hi guys
I would like to draw attention to an article in the most recent article of cardplayer magazine featuring dan cates: http://www.cardplayer.com/cardplayer-magazines
On page 34 in the hand to hand combat section a hand which a pro played is beeing described.
Blinds were 150-300 with antes of 25 at a 9 handed table
He raises with pocket 6's in middle position and gets two calls from villains whom he views as having moderately wide calling ranges. Then he goes to mentionning that he labels one of the villains as inexperienced because he didnt move all in with 23 big blinds instead of calling.
What is the reasonning behind that? It seems to me 23 BB is still a decent amount of play left before you would need to make such a move. Why would he expect an experienced player to move all in instead of just calling? If the villain expected the pro was raising light and would then re-raise all in with say A9o isn't that kind of a dicey proposition to put your tournament life on the line?
Thanks
