Fantastic video, I especially appreciate the easily understandable/implementable heuristics which hand classes to pack into checking and betting range. Thank you!

A big resistance to implement this in practice however is the idea of having to play the river OOP, which as we saw happens in the majority of cases (if the opponent correctly folds only ~20% of time). The board is dynamic and it seems difficult to figure out what to do with the hand classes mentioned on different board completing cards.

Would you please consider doing a part II of the video with some river cards, with the same mechanics for practical implementation? Would be appreciated, thank you :)

Ok I wasn't aware that the rest of the vid is a whole analysis of this/ similar spot :)
But I am still a bit unclear on why the call would be considered that much worse here exactly? How can our opponent exploit us if we are taking the passive line here, and do we assume that our opponent actually is capable of this, giving it's an unknown player?

Thanks for the video and the candid thoughts :)

I would like to hear a few more explanations on why the AT83ds hand is a raise on the A97T turn vs the donk. The raise doesn't seem all that obvious to me: if we give that player lots of (semi)bluffs, why not just call/call with so many river cards being good for us? And we can find some folds on bad rivers, like this one or a Q/K.. And if we don't know him, we cannot say yet if he is folding 86 here, or even has a bluff in the first place, or perhaps is only betting with hands that crush us?

3:19 (A886ds): "BU should proceed primarily, if not exclusively, by 3bets"
Could you please expand on that? Why not calling a pretty looking hand? What is the primary reason - to push out blinds/limper/potentially even the raiser himself?

9:00 (AKQ5ss): You are saying something similar here: if the stacks were around 25bb, the primary strategy would be 3bet or fold. Is it because with shorter stacks we are playing a bit stricter for raw EQ, and we can make the openraiser fold quite a bit of his range (while here with more chips behind he could call looser pre vs 3bets)?

There are some brief thoughts given in the vid but would love to hear more about the considerations when to have a "3bet-or-fold" strat instead of having a calling range pre. Ty :)

QJT86sss: Is this a missed open (limp) opportunity for Christopher on the BU? Or are there good reasons for him to stay out of the pot as a midstack here? 22:16 in the video

Hey, really enjoyed the vid, especially how different stack sizes influence the decisions, so I would vote for another fresh FT review, instead of continuing 3handed (as there are a bit more variables to consider 4+handed, making it a bit more interesting imo).

"Whenever you enter a tournament, your objective, if you think you have an edge, is to leverage as much control over the outcome as possible" - can this be rephrased to avoid low EV variance/low EV spots in general, or is there something else in there, too?

was actively saying things out loud to myself

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one doing that in poker.. :D
Apparently that's known as "rubberducking" in the developer (coder) world, as in "explaining your code out loud to a rubber duck in order to find bugs in it".. Sounds silly but works very nicely.

Could you please expand a little on what you feel the biggest edge(s) is for you in these fields (I'm also learning PLO MTTs as a cash game player and struggle to recognize where I might be able to gain edges, except some very obvious ones like having a decent preflop selection etc, which is again thwarted by ICM etc)? Thx :)

Encouraging to see a top player making mistakes in a less familiar format and figuring out as it goes :)
