These hands seem strange. The b/f with AA nut flush seems ugly, but not sure of the best line. With QTs, if we think villain is an amateur 3-betting only QQ+, why put any more in after the flop. It is worth seeing the flop with this hand, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to try to take someone off an overpair. It might be fun to do, but it isn't $EV. If you thought he had a more normal 3-bet range, then fine to play it as you did to try to hit 10 outs ti improve and to take him off AK and preflop bluffs.
With 99, it seems like a 4-bet shove against the aggressive chipleader. You are setting yourself up to get pwned seeing the flop OOP at this point in the tournament. It might not be as easy if you didn't flop a set. It particularly seems like a clear shove with this hand, and any mid pp or big ace. I don't mind flatting more marginal hands or KK+.
While it's nice to see some deep main event hands, I think there would be more value in seeing you review some of your own live tournament hands or maybe analysing some live stream footage.
I personally have to say I enjoyed this format a lot. While surely I do enjoy Chris analysing his own hands with deep thought processes too this opened up analysis of completely different lines chris would probably not have taken. Given the one of a kind environment these hands took place and Chris trying to combine this setting with theory I liked this a lot despite the fact that obviously we got to see less GTO lines than in a standard vid.
Thanks for the feedback guys. While I'm obviously aware there is a difference between this sort of video and my regular content I feel this type of video still has it's place and serves as a nice change of pace. The WSOP is a unique situation and the main event even more so and I think psychology/reads plays a more important role then in any other place in poker. This is going to be a 2 part series and then I have another standalone video about the WSOP coming out.
Also please be aware there are many subscribers to RIO with various skill levels who are looking for a variety of topics. These videos won't become the norm but I make ~30 vids a year and aim to have ~5 be "non-standard". Allocating 3 of those to WSOP specific vids feels reasonable.

I really like this type of format. Please make more of these vids analyzing live hands in the future, thanks!
