Kevin Rabichow dives into the analysis with four tournaments on screen ranging in stakes from $250 to $2,500 and occasionally turns to the solver to illustrate various points, particularly preflop decisions that may seem trivial.

Thanks for the video!

The T43s board on 16:13 is interesting. You mention points around how the 4/3 connect quite well with a lot of their hands, including offsuit combos. Is there also a consideration that they lack many of the offsuit 1 pair combos on this kind of board. A heuristic I've noticed is that on these 943/T43, 853, etc where there is no flopped straight, we tend to want to have a bigger sizing on the flop, at least with a part of our range.

Just seeing this board makes me feel even though they may have nut advantage with all 44/33 and 43s, we have a big equity advantage with the over pairs, strong Tx, etc. that I would tend to bet range and mix in some big bets. Do you think the massive equity advantage may lead to betting range here?

Hey, thanks for the reply here praisospalter I missed the original comment earlier! After a quick look at some reference sims, I think I was applying the logic of having opened from a later position here. You're right that we can basically just range bet and include large sizings playing LJ vs BB.

I think in-game (I don't believe I mentioned this in the video) that I was taking a more polarized postflop approach than pure cEV due to being covered as we approach the money bubble. A quick ICM sim seems to indicate I took this idea too far, although my approximation of the spot (18 left, 14 pay) does show a shift from 0% checking to 25% checking in the overall range, with significantly more small betting.
