Alex Theologis aka pwndidi continues his examination of the $3k on Party Poker finding himself with a healthy stack during the middle stages of the tournament and approaches the bubble where he looks to take advantage of smaller stacks.

Great video as always Alex.

At 15:30 can you just 3bet to a more standard amount and fold to a jam? If you had deeper stacks behind you is that what you would do?

43:35 you said you would have chk raised flop. We are still somewhat deep, are you calling off if opponent jams? If he calls the cr are you firing off for 3 streets? It seems thin. It seems like it would be good to cc flop and keep our opponents range wide.

As for opponent sitting out, I look at it like you are in a poker tournament with a required time commitment and a part of that tournament is being in your seat and taking hands and playing your action. It is no different than live if you get up to use the bathroom, eat, take a phone call or deal with a complaining girlfriend. You get blinded out. I don't see a problem with you being the one to take those blinds.

Thank you :)
At 16:30 I think 3b/f KQo is going to be very suboptimal due to how strong the hand is, jam or call are the 2 best options.

As for the QT hand, it is strong enough to stack off against the button. If he calls, then the plan is to go for 3 streets yes, given that the runout is decent (no overcards or flush completers etc)

Good to see you agree with my sentiment regarding the sitting out player

@42:30 K8o BTN limp hand. Being a multiway pot and at that stack depth, what will be the BTN flop stabbing and checking frequency will be? Just curious!

Usually the way it works in these very shallow stacked pots is that we want to be betting quite polar and have hands that either don't really care about b/f as they have no equity or hands that are very strong. In hindsight I think I'd rather check back K8, having bdsd and 1 over but as I said in the video, I don't think betting is a mistake. I would never bet a hand with bdfd for example that can't b/c.
