great video owen, a lot of usefull info on common spots. i really like the way you explain each spot. I have one question though. @42' top left, you explain enough why you are not convinced by his raise and you decide to stay in the hand, but it seems that we put too many chips in a pot that it is really difficult to improve our hand and is also difficult to go to showdown. I mean if you think he is bluffing dont you think that he is going to continue bluffing by shoving the turn? the thought process is correct as you said, but isnt it a bit spew to make a call that you will not be able to defend in later streets in such a shallow stack size?

anyway, thanx for the solid video. looking forward for part2.
good luck getting back at the tables, and of course best wishes for your sisters health

Hey Lovritos. Thanks for the question. I think in this spot if i'm calling the 34 on the flop I'm not going to fold to a shove on the turn unless its a bad card for us like a diamond or a broadway card which will hit his range pretty well. Sure perhaps you could see it as spewy but when I think hands through like this and they don't make sense I tend to go with my reads.

Hi Owen, interesting video. I read your reply to Lovritos but i want to ask you this. You said you are going to consider a fold on a turn if Q, K, A, T come or a diamond. And on the flop you put in the pot almost 50% of your stack. All the cards you are mentioning that will make you fold are 21. So it means you will fold roughly on 40% of the turn cards? If so, you still consider your call against his bluff better than a reshove? Thanks for the reply

hey ty for U'r video :) i have one question about your tables u just play only fullring tables and not 6max why ? you don't mix that to be more focus or it was just a choice for this video particulary?

Nice video cheers!

I'm trying to transition from cash games so I could be completely off here.
@29.28 You said this is too light to call a SB reshove for 20bigs. With the bounty being worth around 1400 chips (I think) in ICM terms we only need 38-42% equity here to call? Assuming villain shoves at least their top 20% of a linear range should this not potentially be a call? I'm guessing it's close?

Would be very interested in a video highlighting some important tips to play better in knockouts and bounty builders. Thx,

Great video, thanks. One question - at ~14:10 with the A4dd hand where you check/shove the turn with the flush draw, I can see why check/shoving this particular hand makes sense, but what other hands would you do this with? Would you ever take this line with any value hands?

Playing AJ for example this way would be a bit odd and we benefit from a lot of protection when we double barrel our value hands, so when we check/shove the turn is it not very transparent?
