Hey really like the vid!

I was wondering, in the two hands against 'Breakchips' where he checks and you decide to fire, first with 22 on 8T7s3s and the with TT on Ad7dJ, why it is that you bet around 55% with 22 and around 40% with TT? Maybe to do with wetness, being in position, the fact that ones just the flop and the first one you've already got to the turn?

Thanks in advance!

I agree I've definitely got far too many draws in this spot, also after thinking about it I beat pretty much everything that 3-bets then checks to give up on the river anyway (apart from AK). I guess my thinking at the time was that he would just continue with his Qx, KK, AA on the river because I would check back a lot of hands like Tx or JJ etc. so what I'm trying to rep is KQ AQ thats floated the flop and hoping he won't want to call off his whole stack deep in a tournament with Tx or JJ. But yeah I've definitely got far more draws in this spot than value hands and the fact that I have hearts in my hand blocks the all the combos he might double barrel with as well so I'm winning less often against a pure bluff.

Hey Nicolau! I see you say that the shove from the CO with A4o with 13BB is bad but according to Nash charts you can shove A2o+ in that situation profitably. I was wondering if your logic was based around this being a turbo tournament or maybe some other reasonings?

That makes a lot sense, thanks! I wasn't sure if I was overvaluing this hand in PLO just because AK and TT are good hands in NLHE and your point about the A and K being the same suit is something I hadn't considered.

I think stack size and position is really important here, if Villain is in the SB or on the button then you can never fold AQ with less than 30BB but the UTG opening range is so much tighter that the 3-bet is less profitable because he has less hands like A-T which you crush and he might call with and he definitely had less hands like 67s so you're going to just get him to fold less often and just pick up the chips in the middle. Also the added benefit to just flatting would be that you're hand is really disguised.
