hey james nice video!

about open/shove spots were you talk about regs ripping 15 bbs utg:  i have a feeling that hands like suited brodways or even some strong suited conectors are just too valuable to r/f utg.  they have too much equity when you are able to realize it by seeing 5 cards. in that exact hand that greenstone25 shoves 15 bbs with KJs, do you prefer r/f or just open folding? maybe limping? i think obviously depends alot from the table line up. in a reggy aggro table i think its just way better to jam ,  cause raise folding to a hand like 66 its just a disaster imo. and in a passive table its perfect fine to r/f when peoples ranges are much tighter. 

i think could be an interesting  strategy to create a limping range in those 15 to 18 bbs stack and  have some limp//shove  limp/ fold and limp/ call range.   

thanks mate - if they have too much equity vs shoving ranges then raise/call seems to be the play.

James on the Q9o hand I think nash is 22+ Ax+ K5s+ KTo+ Q8s+ QTo+ J8s+ JTo T8s+ 97s+ 87s 76s.  I could be slightly off and maybe I should be shoving a bit wider than nash anyway but Q9o would still be really close in that spot.

The QTo float on the flop is less crazy than it seems, given that we need to defend a large part of our range against this tiny bet, and calling is the cheapest option.

First hand, you discuss what range the BT calling the min 4bet is. Since the BT will be 3 betting wide, the 4bet is so small and there are antes GTO wise the BT should be calling the 4bet incredibly wide. So on the flop Hero will have to be defending vs a small bet very wide himself. Not that strange really.

Of course I respect your oppinion as well and you are most definitely correct since I'm not even a tournament player. But if it as ypu say then tournament players are splitting their ranges in spots where they can't balance well enough and in so spots like the above players have so unbalanced ranges that they can't defend with enough frequency to stay unexploitable.
