Spoiler - this thread has nothing to do with Daniel Negreanu.
At our regular home game last night, one of our regulars brought along his 13 year old son to play in our tourney and the follow-on cash game.
The young fella had obviously had a bit of coaching from Dad, because he aquitted himself very well. He went all-in against another guy in the first blinds level and won, doubling up in the process. He caught some good cards after that and continued to build his stack to assume a commanding chip lead in the tourney.
However, he played rather loose and his chips bleed away as the game progressed. It got to the point where it was just he and I, heads up. His M was approximately 4 and I had about 10 times his stack.
I had a good handle on his play and he could be read like a book, so I was fairly confident. However, I wondered what was appropriate for this young guy on his first ever taste of tourney play. Three options crossed my mind. What would you have done at this point?
Note that the game is only a $5 buy-in, so there is little monetary gain at stake here. We play more for the social contact and bragging rights.
