Re: Reno WPT
I don't really understand this play from the perspective of either player. It appears that both players had 570K size stacks with 8/16/3K structure.
Jason Stern raised to 48k from middle position and Kevin Song called from the button. The flop came K53r and both players checked. The turn came 8r and Stern checked to Song who bet 70k. Stern called and the river came Tr Stern checked the river and Song bet 150k. Stern called the 150k and the players showed:
Kevin Song A7o
Jason Stern QQ
I would generally bet out the flop if I was the preflop raiser, OOP, one other player in the hand, if I had the QQ with a K on the board and no str or flush draws. If it went check, check I think I would check/call all the way down as Stern did.
Also Song didn't take the line I would have there, it seems the most likely hand for Stern to hold is middle pair, so how do you get him off that with a KT538r board when both players checked the flop and you are making half sized pot bets on turn and river?
What am I missing?
