Rebuy Tourney: Hand 4, Raising huge with the pre-flop goods

ScottyZ

I was surprised at the *size* of a lot of the pre-flop raises that people had been standing at the table. We clearly had a lot of "must the the flop at (literally) all costs" types. I figured I might as well get my share of that loot when I've got the goods.

Ni han. I like the big pre-flop raise... you probably wanted to get it heads-up, and even if nobody called there were still plenty of chips in the pot to be won. I'm surprised that both players called....
