first hand, bet calling is obviously the best play after 3betting(possibly potting the flop), I find the 3bet awkward just like you in regard to his strategy. feels like he is just clicking buttons.

2nd hand I think he should pot pre , live poker ppl fold a lot pre. 11bbs I don't think we should have a limping range tbh.

3rd hand I like a C/R.

jj94 river play proves my point of him clicking buttons.

Hand 1, the screenshot doesn't show the turn card. It is the 5h pairing the board and giving BSH a FD to go with his wrap. I was commentating as if you could see the turn.

Weird hands! In hand one, I'm confused by the 3bet - I'd need to want to 3bet at least 25% before I'd consider 3betting this hand and given what you said that didn't seem to be his strategy. You're allowed to call in the big blind! On the flop with a draw this strong and no showdown value we're really incentivized to bet. I can kinda make sense of his postflop play if he thinks Klein will stab waaaaay too much against a check, but even so it's tough to have much of a bet-folding range with SPR 3.

Gotta say, every decision made by both players in all four hands seem pretty ok to me (as in, justifiable enough that I think its a little odd you picked them out to analyse, not some stricter standard). Def spots where you can make a solid case for alternative options, but (unless I missed it) you don't make clear that both Harris v Klein hands occur during hu play, which matters a ton, most especially for C/$ev of T864ds 3b. Also worth noting given a comment I saw that stacks updated during play, so the screenshot Le showing him w/11bb was not the stack he had at start of hand but his stack at the point in time of freezeframe (so he had 1.125+325+150+100 when he made his initial limp). Tough to evaluate that play without knowing the table stack distribution, but it could easily be fine. One effect his pre flop line does have is that it makes his river call some amount easier since a VPIP bb range, esp in an mtt where we can assume bb will defend significantly tighter than in a cash game, will contain a slightly higher proportion of suited:unsuited Qc hands (roughly 5% swing given my assumptions).

I do like the concept for the video, but I feel like, unless both FTs were very boring, there must have been better candidates for analysis.

Zach-

Love the vid format. There is not enough live stuff on here and it's much appreciated as always. Anyway,the T864ds is a really interesting hand and I really wonder if he was c/r'ing flop. I would assume not, given a c/r get in is a high variance spot and he has an underrepped hand he can c/c every turn with, but then again a c/r wins a lot and also clears up his outs and bd outs when called. What do you lean towards once chking flop here? Though we only have 3.5spr its still 40bb in an Omaha tourney. I think flipping for the tourney here bc we 3b and flopped a wrap is undervaluing our post flop edge in the end game.

Do you like a bet or c/b in TT6 hand? I feel like vs tough opp we are going to get messed w by a lot of pair + gutter hands and even though we have a profitable peel the pot has become a lot bigger and consequently decisions much tougher.

Thanks again for the vid looking forward to the next one.
