I didn't play this hand. I saw it in a video and I think it's from the PS WCOOP (I think this year's) 8-game, event 18.
It's still early in the tournament. This is the first round of LO8. Starting stacks were 5000.
6-handed:
UTG (3225)
UTG+1 (4175)
CU (5505)
Button (6720)
SB (4650)
Hero (5725)
Seat 5 posts SB (30)
Hero posts BB (60)
Hero dealt 4♠Q♣K♦A♣
UTG calls 60
UTG+1 folds
CU folds
Button calls 60
SB calls 30
Hero ???
This is my take on it. We're playing this mostly as a high hand. Yes, A♣4♠ does give us some low options, but they're rarely going to be the nut lo and it has easy counterfeit potential. If the board comes all high, then we're probably the best hand and may be able to take it down right then. Therefore, the question is do we raise to build the pot so when the board comes high only we get paid off more? We're still fairly deep so we can take the loss if the board is uncooperative. What do you all think?
