Great video!
Good job Stoyan
loved the mental game talk in the beginning and your review thought process
just 1 thing I really don't agree with - the assumed optimal bluff 3bet range from SB in the Q8s BTN vs SB hand. it doesn't make sense to 3bet a hand as weak as K5o or Q6o or J6o in the spot, where you fold all K8o K7o K9o J9o etc. you are playing small size OOP so flats IP is something that is going to happen. so just having unclockers to folding range is not enough, and we should look to 3bet the top of our flatting range(/bottom of continue range), choosing the ones with the better blocker properties of course
IMO bluffing range there should be mainly A2o-A4o, K9o or QTo type hands
Thank you for the comment, I totally agree with you. I fell in the trap of thinking which combos are used for 3bet from the bb but here we are playing a totally different game.
In theory 3bet non allin is not used when stacks go below 20bb but if we decide to create a balanced range our bluffs should come from borderline hands(bottom of continuing range/top of folding range) that have blockers(high cards) for his continuing range. So in that case A2o-A4o, K9o, QTo, JTo make a lot of sense.
It is worth mentioning that in order to be balanced we should be bluff 3betting only a tiny fraction of those because they are off suit combos and our value range consists only of high pairs(6 combos each) and potentially AKs(4 combos). I perceive his value range mostly KK+ with QQ and AKs jamming pre.
Hey Stoyan! Great video!
Really enjoyed the mental game part of the video in the beginning! Long way from the tilted kid in that turbo FT in Monte Carlo! :)
Thank you, my friend! Makes me think about the long way we have walked...
Looking around, I get a feeling that a big part of our unhappiness comes from the "tilted kid within". So peace often comes down to what do we feed that kid with - do we give ourselves love or we bully ourselves for the mistakes we've made, do we appreciate what we have or we always race for more, do we accept the challenges in life or we resist the present moment.
I believe that in the era of rapid development of technology we have to spend extra effort to find our center and stay in balance. That is why, no matter what we do, in order to be successful in the long run we have to work on making the kid inside happy and keeping him/her open and curious.
Very well said amigo <3!
Looking forward to more videos that include more on that besides the technical analysis.
Really liked this video especially the part on dealing with pessure. The biggest time I feel pressure is when I tank in live events. I always feel all eyes on me, even the dealer, then I rush and don't think straight. Still working on that.
Looking forward to the next video.
I doubled back to watch this video again. Really great. Would love to hear more of your thoughts about maintaining focus in MTTs - I really like these combination vids.
