Short handed cash games are always destined to produce some insane action.

Mariano finds himself with just a gutshot straight draw on the flop, facing a check raise from Charles Yu. Will Mariano be able to lay down seven high, or is this the end for Mariano Poker? Is he about to take a page out of his buddy Rampage Poker’s playbook and punt off almost $100,000?

When playing very deep stacked poker and considering a 4-bet preflop, it is advisable to use a suited ace or king. With these cards you will block some of the strongest parts of your opponent’s range, such as pocket aces, pocket kings and ace king. Additionally, when called, these hands often flop top pairs or very strong flush draws, making them easier to navigate postflop.
