nice video!
I notice that your hud is able to be fade when you dont put the mouse on them, but when you do that the hud becomes highlight. I can't find the option of hm2 to do the same as yours. Could you plz tell how to do that? Your reply would be highly appreciated.

Hey Nicolau, nive vid!
@25:25 you jamming AJ. What would you call here, if you were in villain's shoes?
@30:30 just lol. I think, because of those guys we MUST r/c, instead of open shove here.
Sorry for the delay! So, probably 88+ AQ+ or something like this. But obviously this would depend on how the villain reacts against me. Definitely would have to open his calling range against other players. And then if it's the AK we are on the same page right? r/c much better in my opinion.
Hey Nicolau! I see you say that the shove from the CO with A4o with 13BB is bad but according to Nash charts you can shove A2o+ in that situation profitably. I was wondering if your logic was based around this being a turbo tournament or maybe some other reasonings?
Definitely this goes with my strategy playing tournaments, specially those turbos. The average stack is much lower, and 13bb it's a great stack in a turbo tournament. I just found it unecessary to shove it, and this stack will still has fold equity against other raises that I can attack in the future. It's really important to differ a regular tournament to a turbo one. Maybe one thing to consider is how the players after him plays and how aggressive they are. Btw, I'm not saying that I'm 100% right, that's actually the beauty of this game.
yes thas was strange for a reg to say that. Maybe he doesn't even know about Nash lol Raise fold here with 12 BB doesn't look good to me.
haha I know about Nash, but I just don't think it will be applied in every situation, specially if the others players are not considering this 100%. Definitely playing a lot of SNGs in the long run this will be good, but a MTT has to consider a lot of other things in my opinion. As a strategy, I prefer raise/fold or open fold against some players.
Don't take this the wrong way but I don't like a lot of the lines. Feels very explo and far from GTO. Lot's of spots you seem to split your range and I doubt you balance it. Could be wrong though and I know you get away with more explo play in tourneys (I'm a cash game player). But I at least would start raping people who seem heavily unbalanced in certain spots. Like I say though I could be wrong. But that's me feeling from the video.
Don't worry man, this is suppose to be a discussion to improve us. So, definitely in some situations I'm playing very explo, but just because I still think it works. You are correct when you say I split the range, and yes it is tough to balance perfectly. But on the other hand, on MTTs it is not easy to the opponents to adapt perfectly. The number of hands played against each other it's not even close to the number you have on cash games, so this will makes it really hard to the other guys exploit you every spot.
i found it pretty funny that you are giving advise for turbo MTTs, if you are loosing like 20k€ in 4,5k turbo mtts so far, i know not a really huge samplesize, but just saying... ;) JUST my opinion about this discussion here.
any comments about that?
3:44 I think which in this spot i shove AJs+;AQo+;TT+
I don't like the first hand. You should play tighter when the BB is pot committed. Easy fold of A9s UTG with 12xBB. Don't think you should be raise folding that much with 12xBB anyway.
At 40:, you raise A3o with 14.5xBB from the BTN into the big stack's BB. I know it is not your style, but open push is better. The big stack is defending a lot and probably playing fairly aggressively postflop. This hand plays badly postflop. R/f is fine with a more playable hand though.
At 45:, you fold a flush draw to a 37% pot turn bet. You say he is not calling if you hit the flush. There are 2 2-flushes out there. You can bet the river if the other flush hits, and he is not calling you say. You might be able to bet some other rivers. Although villain is almost always ahead, he often doesn't have a pair, so this seems like a weak approach to c/f.
IMO the author's first video playing deep and his videos from the other tournament are better. He is clearly and incredible deeper stack MTT player. However, I question his continuously raising with 12xBB or so rather than pushing or folding. IMO many players push/fold too much. However, in general, you should push marginal hands that are significantly profitable pushes and only r/c a narrow range, which should be balanced with r/fs on hands that are marginal to push. I would look at a r/c range of like TT+, and maybe wider in late position. Even with AK, you really don't want to be flat called. You could just raise a higher percentage of the time, but I feel the author does it too much. It is also difficult to just raise when you are a short stack with 12xBB or so, as it is hard to cbet and barrel and so on, and other players can put you in difficult spots. If everyone is short, than r/f is more playable. In addition, at the FT or close, the author seems to just raise into the big stacks BB and defend and big stack raises from the BB as a smaller biggish stack too light. In these situations, if the big stack is decent, the bigger stack can put you in difficult situations.
Hi, nice video!
Some spots were imo questionable as guys said before, but overall I think you played decent poker. Keep it going!
