A Note to the Wise

Posted by Jay Greenspan

Here’s a little bit of advice. If you’re looking to be aggressive in late position – you know, try to steal the blinds – you might want to look at who is on the button. If it happens to be Allen Cunningham, you might want to wait for another spot.

Allen has been playing very few hands – I’d guess he’s seeing lousy cards. But still, he’s managed to pick up chips by punishing those who have raised while he’s on the button. In one hand a player raised two spots before Allen. He re-popped, making it 160k more.

A couple of orbits later, the cutoff raised, and Allen once again re-raised another 160. After this re-raise there was some drama. The big blind found a hand was seriously considering playing it. Finally, he laid it down. The cutoff then acted more quickly; he tabled 7-2 off-suit.

We’ll never know if Allen actually had cards in those spots, but he clearly found time for some profit.

Allen has about 1.3 Million.
