POSTED May 26, 2014

Phil continues to play a rare MTT heavy session, looking for HU pots to exploit his postflop advantages in tournament PLO.

Hey Phil,

I enjoyed watching the video but would much rather see you making NLHE 6-max cash videos.

RedWhite 10 years, 10 months ago

i disagree. please no more tournament or nlhe videos from you. as you said yourself, you've got great players on here who are specialized in those games.

most other MTT coaches employ more preflop aggression in NL. Phil shows how you can approach preflop play differently and offers insight into a strong (the strongest?) postflop decision-making process.  i think vids showcasing this kind of contrasting style will/should improve most players games by encouraging them to think about non-standard lines/sizings. 

RedWhite 10 years, 10 months ago

Phil showed quite a lot of pre aggression. For me it does make a lot more sense to learn from good players who also show results. Non standard thinking comes with experience, and after you've established a strong foundation. You will realize yourself when its time to broaden your horizon and when strong adaptations to specific villains make sense.

You can chime in here, Phil, you can tell best if you've worked on your tourney game and say with confidence that you beat the games with a high roi. I assume the answer will be no as already stated in the vid. 

=> stick to PLO, we like those vids!

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the video!

I was railing you at these stages of the PLO SCOOP tournament. I saw you one of these bluffs and I thought that the next one would be a bluff too. 

However, this is not the way I think when I'm playing against a good player. I usually think that he will think that I'll call him light because I've seen him bluffing recently, so next time he bets pot he will have a strong hand. (I also think that they usually do not think that I think at this level, so they will not do it with a bluff again. I hope this makes sense.) On the other hand, this is not the way the good players I play against think against me. I feel that they call me much lighter if they have seen me bluffing recently. Do these considerations come into play in your high stakes games or do you just look at the whole history against a given villain and not specially at the recent history?

I'd also like to hear what midstakes players think about this.

The way you played these made a lot of sense to me, as it is really the opposite as what most good mtt regs would do (they would open more tables at once, play them tighter at the start, and value their tournament life more). I would love to see a video comparing these 2 styles of approaching MTTs, especially featuring one of the MTT beasts you 've got down there.

QTs 39:30 is a clear re-jam. Only situation that would suck is if the flatter calls your shove with AQ or AT. I guess just flatting the shove wouldn't be bad either.

I think it is cool that you're doing MTT videos. The small bets are really fascinating.

Count me in the camp that would love to see more mtt vids from you. I think its valuable and interesting to see how someone who doesn't regularly play mtts takes them on although I also agree that the most valuable and interesting spots to see would be deep stacked pre ante play.

As far as the A6s shove at 44:15, it is not a shove. Here's what the HRC spits out for that spot:

13.3%, 33+ A9s+ A5s-A4s AJo+ K9s+ KQo QTs+ JTs

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

I know people have every different opinions on what they want to see from me.

There won't be much more NL MTT footage in this series, but I made some other deep(ish) runs I could review sometime.

I think that the SCOOP $10k main was an interesting tournament for me.

In general, I won't put MTT videos in place of PLO videos (just in place of other MTT pro videos).

This series is a bit different because the play is 80+% PLO.

chipsandsalsa 10 years, 10 months ago

hello again, i hope my first comment didnt come off rude, my first language isnt english. what i meant was that i feel it doesnt make a ton of sense when you "waste" your videos doing a MTT series where 4 or 5 of your 6 tables are Turbo NLH tournaments. i wouldnt mind MTT videos from you at all, i just think it only makes sense when a decent amount of the footage is PLO oder deeper NLH tournament play. i think there isnt a lot of  to learn anymore how to play a 10 to 25BB stack in NLH tournaments, and the small differences in play dont make up a ton in EV, also this seems to be covered a lot in most regular MTT videos. so maybe in the future a HH review would make more sense where u could only talk about the interesting spots and you also wouldnt time out in your cash tables, unless you maybe really manage to record a a live session of MTTs where you dont get shortstaked in most of the tables. anyways this gets way to long allready, i hope its clear what i mean.

cheers

haha this vid made me lol phil. Probably my favourite phil galfond video ever - and ive watched all the bluefire ones. For some reason i think you had like 5 redbulls and just sitting there in your pants loading up turbos without a good reason why hhahaha. The 72s was surely a sick +ev video level play. 

Loved it. Im not moxking, im just a very big fan of this vid. 

lennie1987 10 years, 10 months ago

Phil I am reaaaally annoyed with video's like this when there's more than 4 tables. I like to watch video's to learn but also just to relax or while eating you know. I don't wanna be as focused as I am at the tables, just chill down i have to focus too much. Also because i don't wanna miss anything. It's just annoying. 4 is moooore than enough, i think.

DialingUP420 10 years, 10 months ago

I actually really enjoyed you doing a series that is mostly tournament play. Your MTT game is very underrated and you go about things much differently than is "standard" so there is a lot to take from it. In a world that is heavily geared towards preflop play you demonstrate that you can "take it to the streets" and outplay people. Many MTTers have huge postflop leaks and your style takes advantage of that.
