Let me comment about this particular situation. I love the 2.5 raise or so with TT especially because Schneider with his stack will definitely 3-bet push a wide range including all pairs. Perfect. I doubt most of the others with 3-bet with anything worse than QQ+, AK. Who knows, one or two might. There was almost no flatting going on except for Schneider, but he was low enough now he wouldn't flat.
You can rape and pillage at this table against most of the villains with only 10BBs as weird as that sounds. Not against Schneider and Jeanne, but yes probably against the rest. And the antes of 3K with blinds at 10K-20K make it especially lucrative, also since the average stack is only 25BBs.
I was saying that Woo should raise and call a raise only against Schneider and Jeanne. He would really have no way to know that he should call against Jeanne. It would be a mistake to fold to her as it turns out. Against her range of course, not the actual QQ she held.
so the seniors may well be the perfect example of being able to call with out the neccesary immediate odds coz if you win you are gonna steam roller them
I look at it from the other end. If you fold you can still steamroll them and aren't risking your tournament here on a coin flip. That's exactly what Jeanne did after she lost the AA to KK. She stole the next two hands. That was huge. She went from about 12BBs to almost 18BBs in two hands. Wow.
