8:45 7 handed AK is a very clear call here, with pay jumps still not being extremely steep. Is has you jamming 80% though, but I think that is reasonable to expect from a reg.

5 handed it gets more tricky though. I removed the bigstack and another midstack from play and then AK ends up being very close versus an ATC range.

Interesting vid Sam!

4:43 What do you think about raise/call KTs to be able to increase your raise fold frequency and get them to play pots with more hands you dominate?
27:10 A7s in the bb. What do you think about rejamming pre? Since it is suited it has a lot of equity against his reasonably wide range and as you can see postflop you do not always realise your equity.

Great vid as always!

41:44 Turn you get a fold, but my question is about the hypothetical situation that you get to the river. Let's say river is a brick, you continue betting with a very polar range and therefore your checking range is really capped. Since budb has a range consising of mostly hands with showdown value it gets really gross when he bets. I was just wondering throughout the hand how you would go about developing a check/call range on the river since he can potentially turn some Jx into bluffs to attack your capped range on the river? This would probably mean that you c/c a bunch of Ax that don't block his Jx so hands like A3-A5s?

Thanks for the vid. Great in depth analysis!

Best format ever!

@Lucas 35:52 Isn't it a bit of a loose call there with KTo? Sure you have position but you play a pot with zero dead money since the SB will also come along which makes it hard to realise your equity. Especially with Purecash having a pretty strong range. Also there is still 5 people to act that can bluff you of your hand and your hand plays quite poor multiway. Interesting spot because it doesn't come up that often that you have to define your range after an open limp.

Thanks for the in depth vid as always. Love the work you put in it!

@25.45 I like your analysis of the spot, but I don't totally agree with the conclusion. You need him to fold 52% of the time with TT like you said and I think the ranges you gave both villains will be pretty accurate. But button is probaby 3 to 5 betting a reasonable range button vs cut off with like 88+ AJs+ AQo+ and will have a bunch of 3bet bluffs as well. So his 3betting range will be like 10-12% where off he only calls 3% of hands. So he is folding like 70-75% of the time which is a very important consideration in this spot. Therefore I would be jamming 99+ AQs AKo in this spot. I can see folding 99 and AQs as a valid option for ICM implications, but I think TT is too strong and get it in feeling very confident about the decision and don't agree that it's very close. Thoughts on this reasoning?

Nice vid!

12:13 Can you elaborate on the A8s Lowjack open, because for me this is a really standard open. A8s is a top 15% hand so I don't think we get exploited a lot opening this hand in terms of getting 3betted. Is it because the hand doesn't play that well pealing 3bets and putting it in your 4bet range is too ambitious in most cases? It's still a decent steal with ok playability postflop I think.

Your elite status is well deserved! One question: at 2:00 why do you like to size 3bets smaller in tournaments, when you are at the same or even deeper stack depth than in cashgames?

Nice video!

4:45 Can you elaborate on the K8o rejam spot a little more, because I would almost never consider rejamming a hand with as weak equity against calling ranges as K8o in this particular spot. I know you folded, but I'm already interested in the fact that you considered jamming. Do you make this adjustment of rejamming really wide, because you think he has a ridiculous gap between open and call % against your rejam, because weak players are reluctant to call off a jam this deep in a tournament?

I really like the duo coaching format! Great for the learning experience if you get two viewpoints on the hands.
