28:24 when facing a cutoff 3x open with ATo in the small blind, you mention if one were receiving a good rakeback deal it would be playable, but opt to fold. This has been my main preflop struggle playing in the current marketplace of high rake 6 max games. Could you briefly describe how you would go about playing the small blind in high rake (rake capped) game? A lot of 6 max video producers seem to have varying strategies regarding this. Just wondered your take on the pros and cons of a three bet or fold vs limited flatting strategy in the small blind.

This is one of the, if not the best PIO videos i've seen. Really hope you do a part 2!

On the T4o hand a lot of factors have to be considered to estimate their range for shoving which as you pointed out should dictate your chip equity including the bounty boosting the "actual" pot size. Some of these are hard to analyze now without access to the exact amount of players left to bust, where the opponent stands compared to the other short stacks, etc. Your in game judgement on these factors is much clearer than what can be determined now and should be deferred to. What are your thoughts concerning the increased preflop allins and the percentage of stack risked in bounty tournaments for busting players affecting your decision here as a big stack? It seems to me that middling/average stacks have more incentive to gamble and bust short stacks for at hand opportunity to pick up bounties because average stacks have less expectation of deep runs for high payouts. Conversely it seems big stacks have more incentive to bully middling stacks in more conventional (freeze out) ways as their means to go deeper in the tournament where bounties are even higher rather than taking slight negative chip ev (including bounty boost) preflop allins for bounties.
