you dont say villains name in the video for the sake of his privacy but give a hint on how to figure it out very easily. just save us the work next time please :)

Flop cbet is awful. You have a lot of hands that want to be checking here that cannot go for more than 1 street of value given how hard this board
connects with BU, you also want to protect your checking range by checking a lot of mediocre/strong hands so your hands like high pairs, tx and even hands like 88 can get to showdown without always getting bluffed off. We also have so many better hands to bluff with, if you are bluffing 88 you're going to be over bluffing with a ridiculous frequency.

Hi Owen!
Thanks for the video. I disagree definitely with the hand of sixes. It would be a disaster if one of these bigger stacks called us. The main reason is that the small blind is so short that he needs to shove every two hand if it folded to him. And the big blind is also going to call super wide in that spot and the chance that the small blind drops out is decent. We are also risking 18 BB's which is way too much. As your icm result shows, the shove is unprofitable and the ranges you put could be even wider in these microstake finaltables. So raise/fold with the sixes against the big stacks and raise/call against the small stack would be the right way to play that hand.
The last hand (KQs) is also a fold. The original opener and people around us are calling wide enough to make that reshove unprofitable.

Generally speaking you have useful fundamental stuff in these videos and they are good for the beginners. However, you could go bit faster some really obvious spots.

if you say wushu's river bluff is too loose potentially with QJo, what hands do you think make better bluffs? feels like there arent many better candidates other than a similar hand without a heart.

if you bluff with 67 there youre certainly overbluffing - not underbluffing if you check it.

no 4b bluff can fold vs the button anyway and dylan can fold to gambler with his size still.

pretty lol you say that gambler knows hero is nutted here but shows up jamming AQo. he didnt jam cause dylan 'always has 99-JJ here' (what about AK?)

he said 953s favors the caller more than k72 - and that the 3bettor is still going to have a stronger range but that the board is a little more neutral.

george could you elaborate on how you play in early position at full ring tables? whats your opening range in those positions and how do you play from the other positions vs early position openers? obviously we need to tighten up but its tough for me to estimate to what extent.

great video george

around 13:50 you say that buck should bluff his top 2 pair. do you think there are any merits to bluffs more combos than that, and maybe also bet bigger? lets say reaching a 2:1 value to bluff ratio and potting? maybe at that point we are just bluffing with hands that are too strong, but do you think there is enough merit in decreasing that ratio from 3:1? in multiway pots our bad pairs have a lot less showdown value, so its tempting.

aanother question, how wide do you think we can bluff in HU pots playing OOP with a 1card draw vs a 2card draw? should we maybe bluff all pairs and better in that situation? or do the low pairs have too much showdown and we should check them and maybe chose a different/more appropriate sizing for our betting range? im not exactly sure how to approach these river spots with a big range advantage.

also,what do you think about pat bluffs? with which hands/in which spots would you chose to do it?

good serie, but maybe u can talk a bit about what u would do if things would happen. its kinda waste of time to show u open 88 utg and then the whole tbl fold. like just say what u would do vs btn flat, bb flat/3b jam etc. and when u open and get jammed, what is ur calling range. stuff like that i rly miss.. otherwise good tho!

also why are we happy he's folding on K95 when we got K9? think its a pretty clear call and sucks that he folds, bu dno

not working here either

25:35 - I do not think you should be bluffing with AT here. What are you even trying to fold out? Seems to me like AK is the only hand. I think you have enough bluffs, KT, 9T, T8 with a backdoor fd, K9 with a backdoor fd, maybe even without backdoor flushdraws. So a lot of bluffing combos. AT doesnt seem like a hand you need to be bluffing with.

32:42 - K9s seems like a pretty standard/good call vs a small 3 bet like this in position with deep stack sizes especially if you think you are better than him post. Seems gross to turn a hand like K9s into a 4 bet bluff when he is likely to be 3-5 betting small pairs and Axs type of hands given how you describe him.

Very good video, would like to see more like this. 1 question, at the 22:35 mark when the hero has JJTT 1suit you said that we shouldn't peel this 3bet as we are not deep enough. How deep do we have to be to make this peel profitable?

:)

Hey
25:29 - You need 40% to make the stack-off, you're opening into 4 perfect re-shove stacks and the chipleader off a 30 BB stack. You're surely not opening a wide range here, so giving villain a re-jamming range of every suited ace, every pair and even KJo,KQo seems outrageous. First of all he is re-shoving with 4 players behind him to still act and yourself. I actually went digging and did the spot in ICMMIZER from Palmero 92's point of view.

So I did the spot to try and justify your AT call and re-shove ranges you gave him. I gave you a 22% opening range meaning A8o+, A2s+, JTo+, T9s+ and 66+, which is already being very generous with the stacks in front of you. Then I gave CO a 5,1% calling range, when Palmero92 re-jams meaning 99+,AQo+. I gave BTN, SB and BB the same calling range. I gave you a calling range of 7,7% when folded to you meaning 66+,AJo+. Also did overcalling ranges, which I'm not going to bother explaining, but most will have AKo+,99+.

Anyways from doing the math and this spot I got what Palmero92 should be re-jamming given my assumptions are correct.

AJo+, ATs+, 44+, JTs+. Re-shoving small suited aces in this spot will be pretty poor given everyone's calling range has them dominated so choosing QJs+ before A2s+ is pretty important. The math I did was just to show you that you cannot possibly be giving him such a wide re-shoving range and when you give him a more accurate shoving range, say AJo+, ATs+, QJs+, 66+. ATo becomes a pretty easy fold. I will say that some people shove too wide in this spot and some people shove even tighter than the range I just gave. But it is a fact that If you open tighter than 22% he should be re-jamming an even tighter range than the range above.

39:12 - I definitely think you should be going bigger preflop with your entire 3 betting range here if you want to induce a 4 bet bluff or a shove. The size you picked is just going to induce calls that have great equity against your hand. Also you are somewhat polarized in this spot, you will be having your top heavy range and then your complete bluffs. A range like TT+,AKo for value and A2s-A9s, J9s-K9s, KTo and QTo as 3 bet bluffs seems like a pretty good strategy. I feel like given villain is a weaker player you could even bluff a little bit more exploitatively. But, I said polarized because you will probably be flatting your middle strength hands like 77-99, AJo-AQo, ATs-AQs and some nutted hands of course and then all the suited broadways and other stuff you want to play the weaker player with in position.

such good thought process, seeing everything so clearly and looking at these spots from every aspect, just wow!

Nice video, but the QQ hand seems like a pretty poorly played hand from start to finish.
1. We are opening a tight range in this hand to begin with given stack sizes
2. Despite how aggressive villain is, he is a reg and will realize this so his 3 betting range should have stronger bluffs. Stuff that can happily 3-B call off the 680k and 306k stack with. So a range like JTs+,22+,ATo+. He might flat some middling hands like AJs, maybe even AQs, 66-99 and I wouldn't rule out him flatting TT-AA if he expects the >20 BB stacks to be reshoving a decent frequency. So given that information I don't think 4 betting to such a small size makes any sense. We should expect to get called by a pretty strong range that is in position and has good equity vs our hand. I also think given how wide he has been you will flat hands like KQo+, JTs+, 22-TT to his 3 bet. Which leaves you a very narrow range for 4 bet bluffing and 4 betting for value. So you are polarized in the spot and should definitely be putting maximum pressure by choosing a bigger sizing forcing him to put the money in or fold. By making it so small it looks to me like you're almost always inducing a flat, if you make it 560-600k it looks like a sizing you could actually be bluffing with say KTo for instance and you're much more likely to get shoved on by his small pocketpairs and weaker hands.

2:49 how is K9o close? its a fistpump jam, you can go much wider than this and still be unexpoiteable making money with 11 bigblinds from the BTN

Really good video, thanks! Only watched 25 minutes, cause I had to leave, but up to that point I really liked it and will watch the rest later! :)

I enjoyed this format, don't think it was slow

I think you said you would mincall K9o, K7s vs a 10 BB reshove from Kuul from CO vs button, but you can't, you won't be getting the right price especially with ICM in play

29:51 you 3 bet the UTG raiser with QK and check flop

I think you're a bitt result oriented in the spot where you check back QK after 3 betting the UTG raiser. You're not always going to get check-raised? You have AA, AJ and sometimes you might check back a hand like AK for balance purposes, so I don't quite agree with that hand.

First of all thanks for the video , it was great overall. I find that 77 spot really intresting, and i see your logic and agree with it theory wise, but i have an intresting question here.. For the reasons you said about his turn bet i do agree on a call, but i think the river decision is pretty tough here, cause yes combo-wise youre doing great still, but the question is , is he gonna be capable / mentally able to ship that river w air? How much do you rely on timing in that situation on the river decision? Also you said in the video that if he does some hand reading he realise you have no flushes in your range, and im not sure of that cause : You said they gonna have a lot of Ax Kx they wont fold on one street, wont that make sense for checking back flushdraws on the flop vs pos vs 2players to realise your equity against them? I don't think we can assume he gonna assume that you never have a flush there.. What do you think of that part? I'm not sure if i made this comment 2times cause i wrote a similar one but it didn't appear so i wrote a new one.. 

The AK hand was really well played, i probably wudn't think about back-raising there and wud just call his raise, but this way for the reasons you said that he wont give up the pot for that ridic price even he has no equity or close to that makes sense, i have to think more of that.. id probably just call , then he either bets turn or gives up the rest way, i think hed probably knock knoc turn river there.. WP

About the KTo shove , i really think you cant assume ppl gonna call nash deep in the sunday500.. im sure they gonna call tigther, even tho you dont have anything somewhat strong in ur range.. i just still think they will be a bit tighter, and ure best option will be a shove? I'm not sure on this, but what you said that its close to loosing/winning/breakeveinsh i think is false and u will be surely winning enough on shoving, question still is if its better r-folding to them or just ripping im not sure, but ye shoving cant rly go wrong

This was the first video i watched from this series , gonna watch the previous ones :)

Thanks again for the video, gl at the tables.
