Hi Dylan, very interesting watch, really like the deeper analysis. I do have a question about the 55 hand. I perfectly understand your reasoning about raising the flop to rep sets etc, and ofcourse its fine when it works out. However, leverage wise, aren't we giving up to much stackutility if our plan fails in a pretty tough tourney? We pretty much go from a workable stack to a reshove one.
Hey Cairy, thanks for the good comments! We are of course giving up some of our utility when they shove on us, but I think this is a relatively good % play in this type of situation because of exactly your reasoning. The fact that our opponent has to put his stack at risk with basically a pair on this board, in this kind of tournament, is exactly what makes it such a good spot to be bluffing. I also believe that you need to take some higher variance lines and tougher spots when in a tougher tournament, you cannot just wait for the spots that inevitably appear vs tables chock full weaker opponents. The thing is, even when this plan doesnt work, we do not always get shoved on. So we also have a chance to realize some of our equity when they decide to bluff catch us as well.
great and fun vid!! just one minor question: 19:40 t-rex, you 3bet JJ against 23bbs stack and you go for almost 2,5x the raise... then 21:00 you 3bet with AA against a 35 or so bbs and goes much smaller. Dont you think we should be sizing bigger against the deeper stacks and smaller against the smaller ones despite the strength of our hand?
Thanks Andre. You are right enough there, the sizing w/ the JJ should probably be a bit smaller to make them think I will have a bit more folds vs their stacks. Sometimes I think that a slightly larger sizing looks weak to some regs and might get me shoved on, but thats more of a case by case exploitative thing.
haha Yes, coming this week! Sorry about the delay in this series. I had injured myself right after I recorded and then was in Prague for the EPT. I will be recording tomorrow for the end :)
