Great review. I like the format. The spot checking with vision was helpful.

7:10 table 4 kjt7 if the suit were not to the king is this still a call? It seems weak with the top gap and bottom double gap.

If you faced a raise from ep do you fold?

13:25 table 2 at66 if you had the Ad can you look to float or possibly raise turn?

Thanks!

Yeah the 85 hand. I rewatched it, and I still feel visibility isn't that great, but i doubt I fold since it is b vs b. But we are drawing to the bad end of the straight, a made straight is already out, and if we make a straight it is a one liner so we won't really get additional value.

It almost seems we are drawing to the flush only. Our opponent sized up on the turn so I don't even like drawing to the flush especially such a low flush.

Great review.

Are you using a lot of limping in late stage plo tournies?

12:00 it's strange for jnandez to want to pot and le to fold. Nandez is only repping a straight and I understand that le has no straight blockers, but due to the polarity of nandezs range I wouldn't be able to fold a naked set there much less one with a flush redraw.

I like the format of going through hands quickly with you already having gone through the solver.

4:30 table 2 j9 do we get any bets with our better kx? In the 1-3 and 2-5 games I play as well as early tourney, I find I can get a fair bit ofvalue with decent kx.

10:10 table 1 j8, are there any leads on this low board or does it being mono hurt that?

18:10 table 4 98hh you fold to a raise. Do you only have a flat range on the button and small blind?

Do you incorportate these hands into a 3bet sometimes?

25:00 table 3 43 these spots where you raise bottom pair always get me into trouble. Any turn that doesn't help you are you going into check call mode or do you turn your hand into a bluff?

Looking forward to part 2!

Great format!

7:20 you asked how to play 99 if the stack behind you was the same as yours and Alex said to flat everything. If that same sized stack jammed over you are you calling 99? What would be your call range?

Thanks!

A lot of interesting spots in this one. Your explanations were elite level.

14:00 you mention block and 66% pot bet, do we get massive overbets here with sets and straights?

21:00 the talk on different ways to have a capped range was interesting. I think a big thing I took from that hand was that on brick rivers it is too hard to bluff raise with a capped range even with good blockers. If you are more capped on flop and turn then you need a texture changing river card to bluff. Does that sound accurate?

Thanks Frankie!

Not as many as I thought. Thanks Ivan!

The last hand was quite eye opening. I don't lead there ever. Do you see a lot of leads in these spots?

5:00 in my mind I am always asking myself what worse will call and is my bet sizing over polarizing. If this were 6max, would blocking the river be more appropriate?

15:00 my understanding is in 6 max we would have overbets. It seems in hu there is far less range assymetry. Are overbets much more rare in hu?

Thanks!

6:30 how do you feel about opponents turn and river sizing? I feel like he could go half pot turn with 2 pair and sets. River seems ok since there isn't big range assymetry on the nut side and I don't think he has a ton of bluffs.

9:00 If the read is he is a rec then I feel river is a much more easy call because he won't realize he doesn't have that much kx in his range. All he thinks is he is the pfr and the king is great for him.

19:30 feel like on the turn we have somewhat poor visibility to call and I would have consideed folding. What do you think?

20:00 how do you feel about raising the river?

Thanks!

Hey Brian,

How late did you register this tourney?

10:30 the trouble with flatting the squeeze is we end up in difficult post flop spots. If the board was all low cards and you had naked tt, would you look to stack off?

30:54 do you ever induce with this hand with a limp or small raise?

Thanks!

I feel like I would.just simplify to jamming any hand I was going to play unless doing something exploititive like one of my opponents likes to jam too aggressively to min raises.

How much of this spot has jamming? With ICM pressure I would think jamming would play a larger role.

Good review. There are a lot of similarities to live 1-3 and some 2-5 I have played in.

I will say, compared to live, the raise size pre is always 3-4x live. There isn't a lot of folding for anything less and it maximizes your value range.

10:40 appreciate the talk on straddling. I just had a conversation with Hunter Cichy about straddling. I think it hurts the game by artificially increasing the stakes and lowers the spr.

28:40 table 1 67, any merit to xr the river?

Thanks Tyler!

Nice that you used actual hands and showed the footage. It was a good touch.

28:00 how many of those broadway hands that the sb is limping with actually go into a limp jam range?

Thanks!

Hey Ryan,

First hand, since you polarized both of your ranges so heavily on the flop, are you only barreling clubs as a bluff?

20:20 wouldn't you normally have such a wide jamming range that your choices would be to limp or jam and primarily jam?

Thanks!

You explained the concept well.

4:35 I have a script that I run through my head when looking to bluff catch and asking whether I block value or bluffs is a part of that. However, there are times when you block value and bluffs such as k4 or k3 where we block straights but those are also good bluffing cards as well. Those spots can be confusing.

Appreciate your take. I agree. What are your thoughts on utg straddling? It still has the same effect on stack sizes and artificially increasing stakes. I think utg straddling is stupid. Why you would want to increase stakes when oop is beyond me.

With the amount of times you have been on streams and the fact you are a respected coach, you should be made a consultant.

TV games are very much reality shows now more than anything.

Why do you not like the mississippi straddle?

Straddling in general, from the perspective of a non tv ultrarich degen who is playing on a bankroll, sucks. It increases the stakes of the game and can confuse and/or intimidate newer players (I have heard many comments from newer players at the table).

Really like the format!

4:00 how does having the 66 affect our turn stabbing frequency? It gives us a couple of future blockers to bluff straight river cards if need be.

24:30 if you had an t with your qq5 can you cbet flop and look to potentially barrel most turns?

35:00 I don't think I ever find the fold here when opponent polarized and I have the nut blocker. I guess I am lighting money on fire.

Is your hand not generally a 3bet pre?

37:50 if called are you looking to fire a lot of turns?

Thanks!

Hey Matt,

28:00 it shows we don't want to bluff jx. Is that because so much of that blocks his folding range? That assumes he doesn't bet his gutters or flush draws with jx on the turn. In real life, I think we can fold out a lot of his ax and kx by bluffing jx.

Thanks!

Hey Hunter,

20:50 you talked about the 64 raise being in simple 3 way a lot. I have seen bottom pair raises in hu pots as well. Would you only continue barreling as a bluff on cards that bring in hands you block such as a turn 3 or 5? Do you shut down on cards that are bricks for what you can represent?

When to continue barreling bottom pairs when you cbet as the pfr or when you raise the cbet of the pfr has always been a bit confusing to me.

24:45 mike blocks the flop. Wouldn't he want to go polar here since a block won't accomplish much vs the middle of blezniks range?

27:50 how deep do you need to be to have a cold call range of 3bets?

I can't remember the last time I have ever cold called a 3bet in cash or tourney play. Do you do that from time to time?

Appreciated the talk at the end on the state of tv poker.

Lot of ups and downs. The beauty of tourney poker haha.

3:40 this is a bit surprising to me that he doesn't jam 22-55 and even 66 is mixed. In practice, would you jam all pocket pairs there?

Thanks Alex!

Congrats on the win.

How does it being a hyper turbo affect jamming ranges in general? Should you ever be taking wider jams due to blinds going up so fast?

Thanks!

Hi Tyler,

5:00 maybe my mind is stuck in 6max mode, but there just doesn't seem to be a large number of 5x in either range. It seems you can continue to bet 70% up to full pot. Is that just a big ev error?

15:20 is it preferable for him to call with a club to have that back door eq and potential future blocker, or is it preferable to not have a club so he unblocks more of your bluff range making your range less made hand dense?

Thanks!

I thought the pacing and your explanations were good. I think too many coaches put too much emphasis on having constant action so they add more and more tables and it diminishes the quality of the analysis. Three or four regular tables are just fine. I feel it's ok to have down time.

12:50 table 3 44, earlier in the vid you talked about having a flat range in the sb, do you not include the smaller pocket pairs, especially since the bb will almost always come along giving you pretty good odds on a set mine?

22:55 table 4 a5 you call an overbet. Are you still calling if you didn't have the Ah?

If the river were a heart do you turn your hand into a bluff and lead or look to xr?

24:10 table 1 33, are small pocket pairs standard opens for you utg?

Thanks!

Very interesting video. Hard to say if it's your best because your entire library here is top notch content.
Would like to see more of this format.

15:00 does opponent ever get to xr the river with his 43?

Thanks!

Good video. Any chance you can create some mixed game content showing your study journey?

Thanks!

Great review.

30:15 if you are called do you only barrel spades and broadways?

33:40 do you ever get leads on this turn?

Thanks!

I am really looking forward to the all hands videos coming up!

21:20 you talked about not wanting to push people out preflop to capitalize post flop. Would you say that is also important in cash games?

I have watched and studied other training material on plo8/bigo where you never or rarely 3bet pre and just look to go post flop. Do you feel that can be a viable strategy in deeper stacked parts of the tourney or cash?

Thanks!

9:20 table 1 t9, on the turn is there any merit to betting? I probably bet here a lot to extract value from single clubs that don't bet themselves and protection/value from random ax and jx hands. It can also buy a check back on the river.

31:20 table 4 44 you said it would be a check at higher frequencies at high stakes. What are the big differences in what you would face in this spot at higher stakes if you were to bet?

Thanks!
