Welcome aboard, Kyriakos Papadopoulos - Interesting and informative first video, thank you. I'll certainly be tuning in for the next one.

While I can't really offer any criticism because the video was excellent, there is one thing that caught my attention at the very beginning of the video regarding the amount of detail you could have gone into. Perhaps I'm unaware of what the specific "purpose" of an Essential MTT video is, or who it is aimed at, and maybe listening to me makes no sense because I don't understand the things that I just mentioned, but right at the very beginning of the video I felt like I had about 5 questions to ask you about your thought process and wondered why you didn't mention more. That did get better as the video progressed, so maybe even mentioning this is a waste of everyone's time, but if it seems beneficial from your perspective I would enjoy hearing a little bit more about the specific hand you are talking about, as well as some overall poker strategy context within which to place it. Just for example, the first couple of hands seemed to have lots of opportunity to mention things about the type of board textures as they relate to overall strategies, or how our specific hand fits into the "high frequency bet" strategy (Is it ever a check? What kinds of hands want to check, if any? etc). I mean, you do this already on the river with the A8s hand (@1:00) when talking about block betting there, so you definitely are doing what I am recommending; I just wanted to point out that there may be even more opportunities available (if that's something people would find profitable).

Anyway, sorry for rambling and also for possibly being unclear in what I'm trying to say. And thanks again for the video. Keep up the good work!

Really good first video! Good content and good explanation, thanks for your work! I agree with some comments on more deep explanation on your process will be huge!
Just a question, on the analysis of the 97s hand, on the river in the software, AKs/AQs of spade are calling the river but not the other combo. Why it's suppose to be a call and not a fold? Is it because there is no spade on the flop so all the backdoor missed?

Thanks

25 min in:
You flat from the SB with 97s. What is your preflop flatting range in that spot? Seems like a fold or 3bet in a cash-game setting. Can you flat more hands from SB in MTT’s. If yes, why? :)

you can go to 25:28 and see my exact calling range and frequencies. When you play around 30bbs you mainly want to 3bet hands with good blockers and you wanna mostly flat suited connectors. When the effective is >50 you can start put some 3bets with suited connectors. Although, I dont have a huge experience in cash game ranges, I dont think suited connectors are ever being 3bets without being calls at least in some frequency.

at 6 minutes, can there ever be blocks with your 2 pairs such as t7s k7s q7s, we still are against the utg uncapped range so I dont know if they would want to bet big? if that was the case can we mix this hand in too? great vid, cheers

thank you, to be honest I run a sim for this hand and solver prefers the block with the majority of the hands, so definately we can put these two pairs into our turn block along with our good draws. My hand should be checking most of the times, so great note by you !
