Hello Stephen, i've played a lot of HU poker but I'm just learning MTTs now. Trying to familarise myself with p/f ranges.
At 37:05, HJ (20bb) raises and it's folded around to you in BB and you defend Q3s. I was surprised to see you defend so wide. I don't have any other examples written down, although it's something ill look out for, but you do seem to defend your BB pretty wide? Do you defend more/less with effective stacks decreasing, did you have some read on this Guy to defend so wide, and/or were the antes a big influence in you defending too? Do you apply the same logic to the SB?
I enjoyed your analysis especially re: blocker effects.
His AQ barrel with the nut flush draw is too thin, AhKx would be same EV as checking if he lowers his sizing to a block bet, which allows him to bet more of a merged range > rather than strictly value/bluff, which is a reasonable strategy if he plays some straights that way some %.
On the monotone board OOP, especially at shorter stacks you can do a lot of block betting and checking with both players' ranges being more neutralised you need to bet more of a merged sizing on earlier streets.
