nice video! Dylan, do you use rangeconverter's solved preflop ranges for your PIO sims or you guesstimate yourself or a little bit of both?

Nice vid and congrats on the win. I played you HU there and I am not sure I could have done many things different there. If any of you have any suggestions, let me know!

Daniel, you could do few more of these live videos, thanks!

QJs call off for 22bb effective seems a tad loose. This is a call against someone you know will 3b shove hands like J8s, 9Ts, etc. Do we know that villain is doing that? Also, villain is 48bb eff vs BB in case he wakes up with a hand. I tend to think we should call tighter than QJs in that spot

Nice vid. Thanks for a ton of work in this one. Would be interesting to see similar one on EP vs MP flat caller.

Hey Chris,
time 15:42s:
1. You 3b shove A7o from BB. Do you think calling there is a higher EV play? Is this hand your low freq shove there? Given we are close to bubble, maybe lower variance and take a flop in most situations there?

19 min. Shoving 13bb with KTo there from UTG+2 is a bit loose? Range probably KQo+?

19 min in his call with Ah3h on mono spade board has got to be the worst call in 2018 right?

Oh man, your HUD is really getting out of control! Taking up more than 50% of the space. A bit difficult to follow the action at first.

Great video and looking forward to more.
One of the books on the subject I would add is "Peak": Secrets from the science of expertise". It goes into detail how purposeful and deliberate practice can be used to get much better

A lot of interesting spots. Many players are deep
1. Your 22 hand vs Ssick_One at 12 min: If turn was A and he shoves, what do you do? He can't really have worse in that spot almost never right?
2. What do you make of Sam's shove at 17 min when you had ATo in HJ? He is shoving almost 70bb effective there. It's kind not easy to figure out his range there..

Awesome video. So much detail in this one.

One of the takes from this video: "Distribute your crap evenly" :)

Was only 9 players paid in this event? If not, then the ICM calculations in Holdem Resources should be adjusted.

Sam, your A9o shove from SB at 55 min. Is it approaching the bubble or ITM? If you are approaching bubble, don't you think you should tighten up there against a stack that covers you? You may be +0.3BB chip EV on this shove but this becomes a fold if we are on the bubble right?

Sam, I am posting a hand history from a live tournament close to the bubble spot that I am not sure about.
Live tournament, 21 players left and 18 cash. Min cash is about 3x the buy in.
I am in SB with TT and about 19BB stack. HJ opens for 2.5BB, Button 3b to 7BB.
Some more info:
1. Not much info on HJ player but he had about 30BB stack and I only saw him play one hand for past 20 min (time I was at that table).
2. Button is top 1-2 chip leaders and has been active. 3b at least once before, called shove with 33 vs 12BB stack. During my time at the table, he talked a lot about how he was winning all flips and sucked out on people for past 5 hours.
3. There is at least 1 player with about 10BB on my table and few more players on other tables. So, if I fold I will be cruising towards top 18 and $$.
4. I decided to cold 4b shove as I was thinking that Button's range could be wide given he just won a decent pot and is close to being chip leaders.
5. Result is not important but after my 4b shove, Button called with AKo and I was out in 21st place.
Sam, what are your thoughts on this spot? For chip EV, I think it is a shove, but given that we were 3 away from $$, I think a fold is more reasonable. My 19 BB stack simply has too much value and losing it is much worse as far as ICM vs doubling up.

Excellent video sir!
Couple questions about your opponent's (IP) range there. Why do you not have 99 in his range? Also, Do you think hands like TT and JJ would cbet turn to protect as well (at least some percentage of the time?), so some of those should be there on river as well, right?
Also, it looks like you have all A6s, A8s, K6s, K8s in your opponents range on the river. It should be only clubs right?

Ben, kind of a weird video. Did you not auto-reload on purpose? You played with about 30BB on left table for most of first half and 30BB on right table for second half.

Nice vid. I liked how you played your Ak and AJ toward the end of the vid. With AK from SB, he almost always folds his 88 on turn if you barrel.
As far as your AJ on the last hand, do you make a fold if you had AQd there on river and you also block flush draw?

Phil, the content is great, but something seriously wrong with your audio. There are weird sounds all over the place.

The link doesn't seem to work for me

Great series, thanks guys for making it.

I think the opponent will not be very sensitive to our bet size given that board. He is folding some of his range if we bet 1/3, half or 2/3 pot. And he is calling with all pairs, decent A kicker and all kings. He may fold some backdoor flush draws if we bet 2/3 pot, but i don't think it is that big chunk of his range.

That's one rough session. Good video as I learned a bit more how to laugh it off the times when things go very bad.
March 8, 2015 | 2:35 p.m.
great format. Works very well.

I would call that QQ hand on a 6QJAK runout. Reason is he doesn't have many tens there. His TT, he would probably check on flop. Same with JTs. He has some AQ, AK, JJ. Some of those, he would shove river and given your good odds, I think I would call and blame luck if he has AAA. :)

When I used to play on Bovada, I used pokeit software which downloads your bovada hands and then you can analyze your winrate, redline, review hands, etc. It is something like 5 dollars a month or so but it worked well.
Dec. 16, 2014 | 3:24 p.m.
At 19 min + you open Kc9c UTG. Is that a bit loose in general?
Nov. 19, 2014 | 8:45 p.m.
Very informative. Thank you and please continue this series.
Yes, he needs to re-run it using raise option for IP and OOP player on the river.
