Hi Alex, thank for this one. High quality content
22:55 Do you think this sizing is find by him ? On the flop
Is it a spot where you want to only play fold or raise strat due to his size and ICM ?
Obviously having some call is decent as well.
31 Interesting size. What ICM changes on turn prob sizing ?
It’s okay to have this kind of hand in the smaller size, in theory IP has to raise quite a lot, maybe he thought you would raise enough to make a small bet more profitable than the big one.
Hey, happy you like it :)
22:55 I would mostly be using a smaller sizing here. If anything, I think him using a bigger sizing makes me want to play a call heavy strat, as his range should be more polarized.
31:00 That's a good point, but I still think he hand qualities of 77(unblocing all draws, hand strength etc) make it want to use a bigger sizing
Great video
38:00
There is an open from A8o with 22bb from HJ and you mention you think it's too loose given stack distribution, Can you please elaborate? At first glance, intuition says that A8o is a strong raise/fold candidate at this stack depth given blockers.
The last hand on QJ8m:
Do you think in practice the SB also won't find enough turn checks with value? Therefore, versus population the AQ value bet for two streets makes more sense since SB on average will be much more capped than PIO?
A8o is the bottom of our Ax raising range in cEV and this is for sure a spot you want to open tighter than that. It is hard to design an exact opening range, but I do believe a8 is a bit too loose.
I think perhaps SB won't find as many strong turn checks but will still be checking enough strong hands for AQ to not be able to valuebet twice with these big sizings. Even following a simpler approach, it is very difficult to get called by worse if I struggled so much and almost folded a hand as strong as KQ, so the most likely outcome is that I call better and fold worse, which you certainly want to avoid when valuebetting.
16:00 54s. When you consider bluffing here, is it the all in size you have in mind?
I don't think the all-in size would be optimal here, instead going around 4x his raise
Great video.
On the very first hand what do you think about 99 3 betting you on the river after your value raise rather than only calling or folding?
What about 99 taking a totally different line and chking river to get to showdown and then cr if you bet?
Thanks.
Thank you. Yeah I did mention that I think 99 should probably x/c river. As for 99 3betting my raise, I think it's a bit unnecessary and given how my range is constructed otr they would make for a better bluffcatcher (since straights will be the majority of my raising valuerange)
Hi Alex, great series, I was curious about the AT flat at 8 minutes, I was under the assumption we should not have many flats if any on these stack sizes in ICM, are you doing this as an exploit or am I completely wrong, lol
Thanks again !
Hey, thank you, I think I go fairly in depth about explaining why I think jamming is marginal and calling will be optimal in this spot, the explanation starts at around 5:10 and goes on for the next few minutes.

Fantastic video Alex - got to learn a lot from all the four parts, please keep them coming!
Hi, Alex Theologis - Another great video, thanks!
I'm sure you're sick of hearing this (because I've mentioned it in the previous 3 videos I think), but as a cash game player, I really get a lot out of your videos. With that said, I am also seeing how adding some tournaments to my schedule could not only be a nice change of pace, but also potentially (eventually) profitable. Now, while I don't play tournaments, I have played them before and as such I am aware of the 'super-beginner-basics,' but what sort of advice could you offer someone who is relatively new to tournaments but has a decent grasp of NL Hold'em poker in general? Or are there any tips or heuristics that you wish you would have known early on in your tournament career?
Thanks again, Alex. I look forward to the next one(s)!
Thank you :) I think this is a pretty broad and tough to answer question, but I imagine looking into some course would be helpful, such as https://www.runitonce.com/courses/from-the-ground-up-mtt/ (note that I have no involvement or personal experience with the course above, it just looks like something that might answer some of your questions)
great video Alex !
Can you talk a bit more about what you mean by 'weaker player'? I really enjoyed that section of the video.
In that last hand review of the video I was reminded of a recurring issue I have when using Pio. If villain uses a size that Pio prefers not to use, but we're assuming the betting frequencies are similar, is it okay to simply select the main sizing Pio uses on a particular node in order to have the future nodes as accurate as possible? I hope this question makes sense
Yeah that seems reasonable. You can also node lock his strategy for each sizing or only allow the sizing your opponent used in-game if you believe that is his only sizing on that street.
