Level 27
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
With our antes now at 5,000 per player, the small blind at 25,000 and the big blind paying 50,000, there is 120,000 in dead money up for grabs during each hand.
A simple preflop raise of 150,000, or three times the big blind, has been enough to drag the dead money on most of the hands dealt during this level. This means that any of our remaining seniors brave enough to expand their ranges and begin stealing can earn a near even return on a basic 3X raise.
