At around 32mins you 4bet TT planning to fold. Isn't it better to flat hands like TT to a guy who is 3betting so often rather than turn them into a bluff? I feel like there better hands that you can do this with such as hands with Blockers like Ax, KJo etc. Plus TT play pretty well postflop vs a wide range.

Great vid as always.

The percentage just shows how much equity you have vs the opponents hand. Its only useful when the hole cards are revealed as otherwise it just gives you equity vs every other hand. Its just a part of the pokertracker hand replayer.

At around 10mins you shove A2s for 9bb when there is a 1.5bb and a 6bb stack at the table. Shouldn't you be waiting for this stack to bust or be shoving a tighter range?

Any reason why we wouldn't shove 22-44? Don't they play the same as 55/66 vs most peoples calling range?

I imagine if you're not jamming 99, you're shoving too tight. Not sure what your friend is talking about really, seems 100% standard to shove 99 with 5bbs. You pick up so many chips from the shove and can get easily called by worse.

Nice video, but where has the button gone in the replayer?

Nope, you can record long videos, it just lacks some of the more professional features of camtasia.

I think the ranges you have both assigned are probably a lot looser than in reality.  A doubt someone playing 18/6 is cold calling a 3bet with KJs or AJ. The cutoffs range is harder to define as he is flatting most of his opens after the cold call. I would find a fold vs an unknown as has can have all sets plus he might not raise all of his flush draws on the flop. Calling flop and getting it on non spade turns is also an option.

Seems well played. Even though he is 11/11 its only 19 hands so cant read too much into it. Its a lot better than if he was 3/0 over the same sample. He seems aggro pre so I like 4bet calling pre. I would flat vs deeper stacks.

Assuming that he get in QQ+/AK in pre, the flop is a clear shove for value. As he isn't going to fold any PP he flatted pre. I'm assuming he turned up some slow play and you doubted your play?

I think the hand is played fine as long a you fold to the river check shove. The river is a clear value bet, obviously you're are not trying to fold out better hands so not sure why you mention that.

I just don't think people are check raising this river as a bluff often enough for you to call it off, even though I like villains line as a bluff as your range is capped to at best the hand you have. I could be wrong about the player field at 50NL though.

Nice video!

I would recommend SnagIt. Made by the same company that makes camtasia. Its significantly cheaper and has all the features you would need to make a simple screen recording.

When can we expect some Brian Yoon MTT vids?

In this video you make a lot of suggestions of what stats to have on your main HUD, Could you roughly describe whats on your HUD or what stats you think are vital for the 6max zoom games?

Thanks!

PokerVT did pretty much this. Each coach made a live session video of the table. Your idea is a bit more ambitious so Im not sure it would happen. Most people want to see the coaches play the games that they play e.g. the Zoom games. It would be v. entertaining though!

Tried a bit of analysis on the last hand. Just looking the HUD stats you posted it would seem that villain is playing too tight to be jamming TT. A3.9% 4 bet range is AK, JJ+, AQs. Tried bashing the hand into CREV and got that the jam is -23.52EV.

Seems if we add in a few more 4bet bluffs (AJo,KQo because of blocker) its becomes +EV. TBH Im not sure that he would 4bet call JJ and that would change the values.

You're getting 3.2 to 1 on the call. So you need 24% equity and you have ~36% against a 4% 4betting range.

Man this analysis stuff is harder than I thought. Would love to see a video of how you go about working these into CREV/FLOPZILLA.

The hand at 26mins with K7s, you talk about betting the turn but in the video you end up checking back, and your river analysis was based on the villain check/calling the turn. Is this part of the reason you snapped call river??

In the knock-out tournament you say that a knock-out is worth 10k in chips as that's the starting stack, but considering the knock-out is worth half a buy in, surely its worth 5k in chips. if not, how would you adjust to tournaments where the knock-out is worth a smaller percentage of the buy in? Thanks.

The range for 4betting seems rather tight and doesn't contain that many 4bet bluffs. If you increase this range to include more bluffs it becomes more of a +EV shove.

Nice analysis though, seems like the shove can only be good if the villain is on the crazier side.

I agree that the flop raise was too small. Not sure why I made it that size. I think check jamming that turn is a good option.

I think check calling turn is probably bad as he might check back the Ah on the turn. Also if he bets turn and the river bricks I would rather have the betting lead to stop him checking back some weaker hands.

Cheers!

What's your standard play here with small pairs? 3bet or just fold?

Turns out bacon hud is just a normal hud someone is selling online. Sadly nothing to do with bacon that I can see!

I thought Baca4b's cold calling range is pretty tight like AK+,TT+. KLSmoothys range is wide though considering the price he is getting after the cold call.

I do agree that checking flop puts me awkward spot on turn/river once I've capped my range as one pair hands at best.

I'm also interested in the AJhh hand. Like flippety said, on this flop were only ahead of his light 3bet range but check/folding the flop does feel weak, I think I would be more inclined to continue if the flop had a heart on it to give us more backdoors. 

The turn is interesting as I don't think you have much Kx that calls the flop but its hard for him to get called by much worse. Seems like a protection shove to fold out flush draws which likely have overs or a straight draw to go with it. In this video you say that you have a bunch of Khigh flush draws on the turn, does that mean you're peeling KJs KTs to his 3bet?

Enjoyed the vid. Would like to see hands where you don't win. I'm sure you have had some similar spots like in this video but where its gone badly for you.

I'm not sure check raising the flop is that great. The whole reason to check is to rep the weaker parts of your range. As soon as you check raise you begin to almost over rep your hand. Most of the time you should just betting the flop but if you do take this line it seems that check/calling is best.

The turn is interesting as colosk1 said, he isn't bluffing turn very often with 2 callers, but by leading we don't rep the weaker hands that we would check call on the flop. Giving free cards does seem like an small issue, but the villian can still bet worse hands (KQ, QJ) when checked to and can also river worse one pair hands that may call. Interested to hear your thoughts Lucas!

I usually bet flop when checked to. I think it makes the hand easier to play. I don't expect to get check raised very often, and I think people are check folding enough. Playing vs unknowns is tough, but once you check back flop, I think I call turn/river because you cap your range and then make a note on their hand.
