@32:50 Minraising KTo MP1 with 13bb, is that std ? Or was there a specific reason to do that ?
Is it a player pool exploitative play or do you think you can keep your range balanced doing that ?
What's your range for minraise/folding and minraise/calling in that spot, and what's your shoving range ?

It acutally didnt work to full screen when I was using internet explorer but it worked fine with firefox.

Anyone else reported this problem?

There is an issue with IE10 in it's support for fullscreen in HTML5. We are aware that our Flash player doesn't have the functionality currently, I would recommend using another browser if you can instead of IE10 for fullscreen functionality. Apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

Excellent video. Fox should get an offer asap.

Elio, interesting comment in the beginning about high card blocker value when opening at shallower stack sizes. One of things that I have a hard time balancing is the frequency that I 4b jam some Ax hands that are good bluffs like A9-A8o and A5s-A2s. Since MTT spots are so unique, how to properly deal with the 4b jam frequencies ?

I usually get more folds than I expected before when I open hands on this range of Ax but in 3b pots those hands doesn't seem to have enough fold equity to make 4b jams that profitable (just for the example, suppose you are playing a midstakes tournament and open A9o 25bb deep utg+2 and get 3b by a standard opponent in HJ with 35bb.). I'd like hear some thoughts on this if Fox comes to thread, if not, David it is your time bro.

(I usually don't open A9o preante or at deep avg stack size but the steal success from early position seems very high)

Interesting video and this Duo works well. It was great seeing you again in Vegas this year, I didnt think you were coming but glad to see you changed your mind and decided to come down for the Main.

49:10 - And Elio is the man, some people have even told me they believe hes not human, but how is this a call against a MP1 6.5BB shove in this structure when we have 8BB and KTo? Especially in this tournament where most stacks are under 10BB. Isnt our stack more valuable because we still have fold equity and theres more value in jamming light then calling off light in these turbos?

52:30 - Always shoving here w A6o, and feel even better about it against cal.

53:45 - Can we also talk about discussion about checking back Ace high here on this flop. Elio mentioned earlier when discussing if you should barrel KQo on the T23A board and he made a similar comment like "the only thing is you dont have many aces in your flop betting range" and that threw me off because I think most people are betting AJ-AK here over 65% of the time. Because you said it, I wouldnt doubt checking back these hands could be a superior play but Im just trying to understand why. And is there any merit to the idea that even if your in the top percent of players that play so well postflop your comfortable checking back here it doesnt mean other players think like that as well (therefore we have Ax in our range etc..).on this 884cc Im more likely to check back AA for value later on than check AK, because he simply doesnt ever have much in this spot and is gonna check fold alot.

Very good shove spot (were you dont shove) with J9o in a turbo considering 1) BB's stack, 2) the shorties (who almost fold the same with 3-4x as they would deeper vs MP shove), 3) the strength of our perceived range, 4) that we get 25% increase of stack and 5) that we have a pretty decent hand vs a calling range

It is my standard, do you have an opinion on this?
