Maximum Value
December 21, 2007
When you have the best hand, it’s all about maximizing value.
How you do it is the tricky part.
At the 2007 World Series of Poker $10,000-buy-in main event, Chris “Jesus” Ferguson held J-10 suited in the small blind. With the blinds at $50-$100, a player in late position raised to $300. Another player called. Ferguson made it $1,150 to go.
“I thought I might be able to pick up the pot right there, and if not, I thought I had a disguised hand if I hit something,” said Ferguson, the 2000 main event champion. “If I don’t hit something, I thought I might be able to steal it on the flop, so I have a couple chances at this point.
