At 30:00 with the kj call or similar spots where calling is very close, is it better to fold and avoid the variance or better to take even the smallest edge to build your stack? What about deeper in the tourney (but still no icm)?
At 40:30 what bluffs are you giving a solid opponent on that river given his 3bet pre and stack sizes? Maybe some TJs 9Ts or the occasional ak. It seems hard to come up with enough bluffs to make calling too good.
Regarding the KJ spot, part of our edge comes from knowing that this is a call and not a fold. I agree though folding will be good in a softer lineup or if the tournament is somewhat deep (remember ICM is always there!)
As for KQ, first, he can have KQ himself for value, which immediately makes our hand a must call. As for bluffs, besides the hands you mentioned, he can have a bunch of Axs too. He doesn't need too many bluffs for us to have a profitable call.
Thank you for the great video!
At 33:00 why is AJo a limp rather than a raise at 40bb out of the SB? Seems a hand this strong would play well as a 3.5x open especially with a covering stack. are you pure limping this spot?
Hey, thank you. There are a bunch of sites selling ranges like these, in either a downloadable or browsable format. I'm not sure I should be posting names and links here but a google search should show you a bunch of related results, otherwise send me a pm.
I guess the first thing to learn from this video is to flop a set in every hand and that's how you win tournaments ;-) Just kidding. Great video as always =)

Another excellent video Alex! you seem to play perfectly in almost all spots, how many tables do you normally play on a Sunday for example?
Thank you, maybe I just review the ones I played good at :D
On Sundays I go up to 20 and weekdays I try to keep them at 12
Great video. Nice mix of hand play and sims.
