Strategy With Kristy: Frank Rusnak

Summary: Frank Rusnak exemplifies what it means to fly under the radar in poker. He kicked off his live tournament poker playing scores with a sixth-place finish in the 2007 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event and has gone on to win nearly $1 million. Online, he's accumulated another $750,000 in tournaments. When he's not traveling, he's grinding live cash games in Las Vegas. On this edition of the Strategy with Kristy podcast, Rusnak discusses a few specific differences between online and live tournaments. He says that in tournaments, it's usually not correct to four-bet for value and fold, but in cash games, it can be the right play. He also suggests that it is essential to be able to recognize and take advantage of spots to pick up chips in order to have long-term success in tournaments.
