Luke Vrabel (@SlayAbides) began his career as bdbeatslayer, one of the top “female” MTT players online, eventually winning a bundle of cash and a Lamborghini in the 5th Anniversary PokerStars Sunday Million.

Strategy
I’m in BB at 1/2K level (2k bb ante). Villain opens to 5200 at 1/2K. I have ~60-65K, he covers, but not by much. He is in CO. Folds to me, I raise to 15K, he calls.
Flop is A10Kr. I bet 15.2K. He calls.
Turn is J. No flush draws. I bet 17K, he goes all in.
