With a huge stack, bubble times when short players still in your table, and some pressure mommentsDo you open from UTG with T9s or 98s as most books suggest ?
(9 players)
Absolutely correct. It is essential to being unpredictable that one plays cards not usually associated with those played UTG. If I am in that situation I look at the second hand on my watch and determine from its position whether to play it or not. Many thanks to Dan Harrington for the idea of using the second hand as a decision making randomizerUsed in the right way it is an essential weapon in poker, if you do not know how to use it it could lead you to lose tournaments with ease.
