Strategy

Hard Rock Tampa $1,100 1500/3000/3000 Effective stacks 34bb (my 100k stack) 7 handed. 25/153 left 16 make the money.

HJ opens to 6k. (2bb) CO calls. SB folds. I call Jd 7d in BB .

Flop 9h Kd Qd. I check HJ bets 7k into 22,500. CO calls 7k. I check raise to 25,000. HJ folds. CO tank calls 18k more to win 79,500. My 25k + 6k pre gives me about 69k back. Pot is now 79,500.

Turn is a 6s. He checks, I check back.

River is 4c. He checks. Hero?
