I really like your series and micro videos in general however I really think you are way off in some spots...
1st @03:42 KJs hand there is no way in hell he reshoves that range 18bb deep. I've never seen anyone show up there with say A8o or A4s... KTs or KQo... people at micros(pokerstars) are just way way too passive for that. The range is at best half of what you are proposing (so that makes it 11%) and even if he had less bb say 12 it still wouldn't change much(perhaps more suited aces but thats optimistic) sure they sometimes slowplay AA/KK but that's a very small percentage of the time. Usually those hands are slowplayed outside of blinds. So yea that makes KJs a raise/fold.
@17:40 I like your analysis and this is exactly what I was talking about. The donk just checks back TPGK with a bit more than a PSB left... its annoying to play vs someone so passive literally extracting value through a straw.
@21:20 see this too is an example of typical micro stupidity.. bet 1bb river with nuts to induce... and you are then left to play a guessing game whether he is just inducing or randomly clicking buttons - of course I agree with everything you said about our hand TT, I am of course just commenting villain's move.
@37:15 JJ again see... villain doesn't reshove AKs with 10bb... annoying passivity - perhaps he is slowplaying which makes it even worse cause I don't think that it's a good idea with such stack sizes.
@41:30 last hand yet again example of what I'm talking about... checking back trips with less than half pot bet left... just scared taking safe routes... instead of sticking it in. Pretty sure he puts you on a flush there given the xc on the turn or a weird AQ(which is even less likely on the river) just because your line was kinda passive and thats typical for micros.
Biggest problem is by the time you identify who the passive donks are and who the maniac 3betting bluffers are it will be too late and you will never see them again.(and most of the time they all just play randomly regardless of who they are) an example of that is @26:50 when the guy who checked back the KQo TPGK I mentioned before in comments just decides to rip it in there with Qhigh FD... I don't understand how can someone so passive in 1 spot be so aggresive in another... random donks imo. Sure its good when he spews like that but extremely difficult to hand read... I mean it wasn't even the nutflush just random hand he decided to go with
So yea like I said I really like some of your other vids as well(Big 3.3 review for instance) but the way I see it... best way to win this is just luckbox a tournament and get the hell out of these nit infested MTTs with players who have no clue what they're doing. I'm interested to see what you think of this! :)

Hi, I'll try to be as short as possible. I've been playing poker for some time now, mostly on and off but even though I wanted it to become serious I've never seemed to find the time(I played cash before, made a cashout @ around $1k) Now some things have changed and I made a decision to truly dedicate myself to the game and give my very best in order to improve and become a successful player.
For some time now, I've been watching MTT videos(essential, mostly stuff from nick rampone and espen sorlie) and my MTT game has improved greatly - I've also starting studying hyper 6max sngs via ILS007's videos(in order to improve shorthanded play and HU play) and I also have a subscription to ICMIZER2 - apart from that, I really like hypers because there's always traffic and they are finished quickly instead of those nitty turbo/reg sngs. So yea, basically I know some stuff, I'm far away from being a beginner, I just never seemed to find the time and motivation combined with proper discipline.
Now the advice I would greatly appreciate would be mainly concerning 6max hyper sngs - I know they are high variance, but I would like to know for example how many tournaments are needed to start to see how I'm doing, what kind of swings are normal(all the way from $1.5 BIs onward, i.e a 100BI downswing on mid/high stacks means nothing to me because they are more swingy than lower stakes) what problems will I face when playing, some 'tricks' which I'm supposed to figure out basically. I'm not looking for a coach nor do I expect anyone to tell me everything I have to do, but like I said, some general advice on 'what to watch out for' would be appreciated.
Same of course goes for MTTs, what times of the day are the best to play, what kind of traffic should I aim at etc. I'm an engineering student so I'll mostly be busy in the mornings but the rest of the day I can schedule to my needs.
My plan for the end of this year is to 'get in the zone of learning/grinding - basically having a momentum' which in turn I plan to turn into something bigger next year - a supernova chase(hence one more reason why hypers) maybe to a lot of people will this seem completely unrealistic but so far in my life experiences I'm known for succeeding as an underdog and overcoming the odds.
I'm not really looking for a 'study buddy' (even though I wouldn't mind at all) but more of a pointer type of person that has been through some stuff and is willing to shed some light :)
Thank you.
doesn't matter what I shove... what matters is what others shove - and they don't shove that at say, hot 3.3 or 5.5 reg speed. Never
