First hand: It's a really tough spot for the Td either way (with these stack sizes or with normal stacks). I will play his hand a little bit more against these stack sizes so against one short stack, so they can't jam you on 4th-6th, basically we are playing a HU pot against the 6s (if the bringin folds)
3betting with these stack sizes will be horrible. His plan is to snow, but his opponent will be (close to allin) before the final draw. But normally against a Cutoff i agree that we want to 3bet all of our 1card draws. However you can get away by calling some, especially against players, who can't read the situation. And I would say that against a tight opener I think it can be a common strategy to call all your 1c draw ranges. Probably not against a CO, but against a nitty HJ opener, even against normal stack sizes he can go ahead and call everything. Against a little bit weaker players it's not the end of the world if he caps his range and 3bets his strongest draws (such as 2356, 2345, 2347, 2348, 2368, etc), and calls with his weaker ones (3457, 4568, etc.)

Excellent review!
First hand, with normal stack sizes, can hoffman call a raise or 2bet?
Second hand, does hennigan cap his range by only xcalling then drawing 1? Shouldn't he always 3bet?
If you are at the series, I hope it is going well.
