Anthony Martino
Royal Flush
122 entrants into the $220 20k guaranteed at Silks poker Room. 25 remain, 15 get paid, first is $6,400
Blinds are 1500/3000 (500) ante.
Villian is elderly woman UTG and shorter stacked with around 35k and tighter than a virgin on prom night
She raises to 9k
Folds to hero in BB who looks at AK hearts and has a total stack of 24k (includes the 3k blind he already posted)
Hero calls the additional 6k with a plan to use first in action to shove his last 15k into the pot
Reasoning is that Hero knows villian is tight and has a strong hand. Villian is 100-percent calling preflop if hero shoves, then hero HAS to win showdown
However, if hero waits until flop to shove, there is a chance villian dumps a small to medium pair if overcards fall (even if they dont hit hero) or that she lays down another AK so hero scoops instead of splits
