Great video sir! I'm an Ontario native, if you are ever in the Kingston area drop me a line. I'd love to see some videos of small-mid stakes tournaments, or possibly a video of the $1 60kgtd rebuys on Stars(If you guys ever play them). I think they have an interesting dynamic. Thanks,

Hi Danny, will do! I don't play too many small stakes MTTs these days but some of my future videos are gonna be reviewing subscribers hand histories so I will be sure to get some low stakes stuff in there! I actually went to Kingston before, nice place and met some lovely people at the Irish bar there and went to a sick live show at a place called Mansion (?)

Take care

The hand at 5 minutes with AK -- You start off by saying that Geeken is playing like a man who wants to be laddering up the pay-scale and is playing fairly tight. When he calls pre - your range assigned to him is probably pretty correct. I don't understand why you are bet-calling, as this type of player isn't likely to turn his Ax hands into semi-bluffs. I think there are hands that he is maybe check-shoving with such as 9s thru Qs. I guess my question is, why bet-call it off - why not just shove? Shoving against a player like this who is playing quite tight and trying to move up the ladder is sometimes going to get him to fold out hands like QQ-88 as these type of players may likely put you on a higher pair. Against a tricky reg, I understand the bet-calling because they could turn their AQ hands into semi-bluff shoves, but probably not against this player.

Sorry for slow reply Eric I have been adventuring around the US, I think you make pretty good points here and possibly going to bet/call at the time was a slight autopilot. Another reason I may have done this at the time is that I thought he might think a smaller bet is stronger than a jam and hero fold more or possibly even peel one and fold turn. Given our reads though yeah just jamming and force him to put it all in if he wants to play seems good

Good series, Jono.

At 23:00 mark with QQ, I think there's a lot of merit in making it 180-200k. You give him some perceived fold equity and could potentially get him to shove a hand like J9/JT/54 or just spaz, I think this is a spot where you'd also want a bluff size with these stack sizes, so making it 180-200k is just better overall for your range.

In the 88 hand that begins around the 10:00 mark, you briefly mention he might c/c some A-his, but leave those A-his out of the analysis on turn/river. I wonder if you're folding even 20% of better hands with your turn barrel. If he holds Tx, you'll likely have to fire turn/river for the turn bluff to show a profit when AT-AQ and other random A-his + few combos of slowplays are a very real portion of his flop c/c-ing range. And there aren't really any good bluff cards on river. The one very good thing you have going for you is that it's hard for him to call down with one pair, but I just don't know if he's folding Ax enough.

88 turned into a bluff, I like it but isnt it better to leave him with say about 8bb behind? I mean if you had a really strong hand wouldnt you bet such an amout that would allow him to survive(an still most likely make 3rd place if he is wrong) in order to get way more calls? And importantly also, maybe he can think this and herocall you because of this?(I know the pressure is still enormous on him but still, I think solid hand readers can decide and herocall because of this...)

Edit.: now I realize the villain in this hand is probably a weaker recreational player as you said in the video(judging by his 10bb squeeze size) so I guess against him shove is better... But say villain is an ok reg, what about then?
