Pushing The Advantage

You have all seen them: a player sitting at a table with 10 times as many chips as anyone else. The maximum a player can bring to the table is 5,000 dollars but this player has 50,000 dollars at the table, and they are swatting all players that sit down like flies.
Able to call any bet with ease they can afford to take more chances, and can play more searching bets to establish what the opponents have. They are also in a far better position to be selective about which hands to enter as the fear of having blinds bleed their stack is far less.
The psychological advantage is also huge when in this situation – players first check what you are doing before they make any decisions – as soon as the chip leader raises, the majority of their opponents fold because they are scared of a showdown that sees them all in and the chip leader easily match their bet.
Getting yourself in this situation is not easy, but when you do find yourself as the chip leader at a table, you should attempt to remain at the table as long as you can carry on pushing the advantage. Once you have five times the amount of chips as everyone else at the table, the climb up to 10 times as many chips will then be a lot quicker. As long as you stay at the table you will have the advantage and be able to dominate the play.
