Hey Grayson, would you say that you're a boss, and that are you are #livin?
Hey Grayson, can you hide the cards next time?
44 hand, do you think limp shoving is significantly better then just open shoving there and why?
I assume that I am getting called by the same range whether I limp-shove or open shove. Therefore, the deciding factor becomes how much he is r/f'ing to me when I limp shove. If he is r/f'ing a lot with weaker hands, versus checking and seeing a flop, limp-shoving becomes much better. I'm not really sure how often he is doing this and I would guess that there isn't a huge difference between limp-shoving and open-shoving.
2:45 - I'm wondering about your thought process overall in these situations. Obviously that's a pretty general question, but I'm wondering how you choose your spots in these scenarios.. For example, you mentioned the 3b'er's tight 3b stat obv decreases the likelihood you 3b, but I'm wondering how you would weight, say.. A hand like A4o here compared to your actual holding (98s). In other words, what would be the ideal holding here, for you to 4b bluff? And, what would be the ideal stack sizes, and opponent tendencies here for you to 4b bluff? And lastly, how necessary do you think cold 4b bluffing is to overall success in today's tournaments?
14:40 - QJo UTG - I'm curious at what point QJo becomes a fold from UTG. Can you just talk about what sort of stack sizes (and in which pos) make you unlikely to open this, and how you approach these sort of opens from both in the early stages of the tourney, and in the later stages?
I am much more likely to fold QJo in the early stages of a tourney, and will always be folding it pre-ante. As the stacks get shallower, and I am less likely to be flatted, I am more likely to open QJo. Also, how tough my table is, and how wide the other players are flatting preflop will factor into my decision.
22:15 - A7o on the btn - Would you be more or less likely to 3b him if you had this same hand in the CO? In other words, do you think most regs nowadays are significantly more likely to 4b lighter when you 3b from the btn, than from when you're in the CO?
This would not really affect my decision. I suppose I should be 3betting slightly tighter in the CO than button, since there is one more player remaining to act, but I think the difference is almost negligible.
25:17 - AKo in the SB - At this stack depth, would you ever consider just peeling here?
