3:49 River size, especially blocking an A seems a bit too large, especially at a FT that IP given risk premium would be much more restrictive on calls. Seth probably does just call pre a bunch of weak AA on this spot too. Block seems to accomplish way more.
9:07
The turn donk sizing could be a point of discussion. Range wise it is a better card for OOP than IP, but does straights bet this large? 2p+gutter seems natural to lead given the positions. A smaller bet (like half-pot) might be sufficient to put pressure on IP while allowing them to call with a wider range, including overpairs and draws.
yes block seems like the best play to me, x/XC in the running too but think likely underperforms in this format. The AA possibility is interesting, not sure id agree with Seth flatting many AA combos but it points in same direction so sure, toss that in as well :)
lead sizing - id assume he took view that at this SPR he wont have (m)any bet/folds, and that pot applies the most pressure to section of Joao's range that hes targetting, ie its a practical choice rather than theoretically founded one.
Rapha Nogueira no, that was a graphical error, basically zero shot he opens btn with that hand into those players with those stacks. pf action is Samuli RFI, Seth call.
Am printing, laminating, and framing this comment :) I always strive for brevity but so rarely manage to pull it off, poker is just such an interesting game, with so much to talk about...
QJT86sss: Is this a missed open (limp) opportunity for Christopher on the BU? Or are there good reasons for him to stay out of the pot as a midstack here? 22:16 in the video
I'd say having some limps into Samuli is likely a decent idea, but overall frequency will be tight enough to where this is a reasonably comfortable fold, Samuli can apply tons of pressure so you need to calibrate VPIPs to do better absorbing such pressure.

Top tier, as always.

I am sorry, did misread the action. Le's hand in my mind was such a fold that I didn't even see his raise lol.
Two of the largest stacks on the blinds and you are tied with Joao at the bottom. Picking up the blinds on this setup is highly unlikely.
At 30bb for everyone it is a 50/50 hand, at the real stack setup I would say it is a fold. Later can check on monker.

sorry, just realised now.
On a stack setup similar to what we have (people in average much shorter than the blinds), even vs SB pot sized raise pre, BB calls ~10% of his AA.
I think this was underestimated on the river size by OOP too.
Happy to see more of these prior to WSOP. Playing these tournament stacks is not something I get much practice with online.
will try and get another couple of parts made prior to WSOP :)
You have a great way of explaining MTT PLO concepts with brevity that is hard to come by. Would love to see more of this format from you. Great stuff.

Would love to see a pt. 2.
Watching any review of a PLO table Allan Le is on is +eV
Love the video. I know Seth Davies is there; but really awesome to see a Las Vegas PLO legend, Bruno, at the table!
Amazing video please keep this series going
Best format. Amazing explanations as always!
AA63 hand is pure gold
Great format. I hope you continue it.
24:15 would you incorporate limps from earlier positions with 30bb?
