I jumped into a $250 buy-in, $100K guaranteed tournament at the Venetian with one goal: build a stack or bust trying. I’d already made Day 2 at the Wynn earlier that day, so I was feeling lucky (and a little unhinged), and I decided to go full guns blazing—no nit mode, no waiting around. You’ll see exactly how I attacked a soft live field by isolating limpers nonstop, applying pressure postflop, and then turning it up even more on the bubble when everyone tightens up. I break down two key strategy spots from the vlog: a 9♣7♣ semi-bluff shove where I’m leveraging fold equity (and still have real equity when called), plus a big blind 3-bet line that most live players just don’t have in their game enough. Day 2 gets shove-festy as the blinds climb, and I also talk through a painful river call with pocket nines where I paid off the nuts—so tell me in the comments if you would’ve folded. I end up finishing 30th out of 730 for $916, and honestly? For one bullet in a $250, that’s a pretty solid day.
