Well, your not in a comfort zone with your stack. I think it said bb is 6k and ur at like 300k. Which means less than 50 bbs left. You can't play too tight. However, you gotta play the stacks at ur table. Don't play the small stack unless u got a monster if he all ins into it. You generally can bully big stacks with 3.5 bets on their blinds as they will wanna play tight to last further. If they call a bluff 3.5, you see if they bet next. If not you can continue bet. If they bet you fold.

I am sure you know all this. I am just saying ur stack isnt as big as it seems so dont get complacent.
---

Yeah my table draw was not the best stacks wise
---

GL man!

Still alive?

I like how Corrik exists in a world where this dude would come back and immediately start posting on board 8 instead of being out celebrating
---

I drove straight home in tired as duck lol

Had some good luck in some key spots, bad luck when I could afford it and overall think I played the field really well. Very stoked, very hype yet very tired

Thanks for the support guys

Nicely done. Get some rest
