Hi Sam,

Really like your approach to tournament poker, and I think you bring some great creativity to your videos, mixing in a good use of tools along with the replayer. It's very refreshing to see someone going beyond the norm and outside the box to give us viewers great value. Big thanks for that!

About the J6o defend. I'm very curious about how to approach these sorts of situations (I personally play much too tight out of the blinds when facing wide opening ranges). I understand that with antes being large these days and open raises being very small we are getting great odds.

If I am getting 4:1 preflop, If I knew i were going to see all 5 cards, I think it would make sense to defend any 2 cards. But how do I account for the fact that I only get to see 60% of the hand for my preflop investment? Also do you factor in hot and cold equity vs flopability when choosing which hands with which to defend, or do you take a more in the moment approach rather than using pre constructed ranges.

Is it a matter of taking those odds, and then continuing on above average boards for the hands we choose to defend, whilst releasing on the below average boards? 

Thanks again for the great video Sam, I'm going to go ahead and check out part 2 now. Best of luck in the WCOOP challenge events this weekend, hope you can score another big final table!

Great Job Fedor and David, very much excited for this video serious, even if it will mostly consist of poorly played sets :)

I'm curious Fedor how many tables you typically play, both on sunday grinds and non sunday grind

And david, I'm curious what you were grinding before having this massive score, and if having this score has shifted your focus at all or if your prefered games + number of tables have remained the same. Congratulations on this great score, and was nice meeting both of you in St Marten.
