Great video and breakdown!

With the KQo, do you ever consider shoving turn or river? We’re almost certain villain doesn’t have a straight or flush but it’s very possible for us do so.

BTN could have Q10+ or possibly pocket 3's so you could be beat already, same as SB. It wasn't really SB vs BB because BTN was still in the pot. Bet to big. Check call flop and turn. Fold river bet.

25:33 - Would you check raise post flop if you called from the bb or donk out with the 89s? That being said, if Villain was to call your donk/ c/r, would you barrel the given turn?

This is somewhere a long the lines of what i thought but your detailed reply is excellent, definitely what i needed. Thankyou!

52:50 - you talk about isoing the q9s with the limper. if you was in the sb/bb, should you be isoing here too with that hand or can this too difficult to play oop?

23:50 - how do feel about clicking back on the flop here for a real small amount of around 12-1300 rather than just calling?

25:00 - raise calling pocket 7s. You say raise calling would widen there range, but would players ever tighten up here in order to get to the final table making there 3bet/shove range tighter? Also, BB is the biggest stack on the table which makes him more inclined to flat and can make decisions difficult for us post flop.

I guess it can go either way but wonder how much difference it makes being the final 2 tables.

GII all day long. More than likely he's never folding. Never flat, you miss value if he's raising AK and misses and the hand becomes difficult when it shouldn't if an A does come on the flop.

Akira has a video series called 'adjusting to deep stack tournaments' which talks about various stages of play in a tournament and how you should play each stage. I think this will help you and is close to what you're looking for.

Fold, he's committed so he's not light. JJ+ AK.

On flop check raise. No point calling. To many cards on the turn that will just make you want to fold anyway. Villain rarely has AK here with his bet being on the more bigger side. Also his raise pre to 300 was on the smaller side. Small raise pre and bigger bet on turn makes me feel like he has AA/KK here.

136 hands seems reasonable so take a look at his cbet %. If it's close to 100% then raise. If not, then call and reevaluate on turn. Although, as Degnovic says, GII pre.

1:00 - why did you choose to just flat rather than 3bet? Thought with the stack sizes a 3bet would be better, especially with 19% PFR for villain.
Although, with the check preflop, could you donk out on such a board to put the villain under pressure?
11:45 - do you ever feel your 3bet could be a little bigger here? oop and both of you are fairly deep stacked with him being fairly loose

2:53 - would you ever consider the amount villain 12, the original raiser has to call off if villain 15 shoves? in this case it was 9k for 16k. This means he needs 36% odds to make the call which a lot of his range will have so he will only need to get through 3 players as apposed to 4, as the BB shove is always a call. Because of this, could a10o be a profitable shove?

5:00 - seems the hero doubled up here but we never got to see the end result
28:25 - whats the lowest pair you'd call here?

12:35 - you say you prefer a shove. Do you feel the villain will ever fold instead of calling 3k chips for a 15k pot?

14:00 Did you miss a hand? Hero lost 3k chips out of no where

Also 14:29 on SB hero loses 1800 chips

Thanks for the replies. Looking back at the AsTc hand I feel I now understand why the call is better. Coming back and listening to what you had to say about the hand felt like I took a lot more from it than the first time I listened. Might do that more often with hands.
That being said, i thought the video was excellent and took a lot from it. Your thought process was extremely clear each hand. Look forward to seeing more

@40:00 a10 - In what way would any more value be gained by just calling the flop? I presume both players would predict another has a 10, most likely the hero because just calling looks so strong. What are the chances of getting any player to bet here? Furthermore, a flush draw would easily call 40k for a spade. If just called, a spade looks like a horrible card for the hero. Also, unlikely but both villains could have a pocket pair which could be turned into a full house on the turn. I see it as giving the villains a free card and there is already enough in the pot to be won.

@31:00 opting to double barrel KQs - couldn't this put us in a bad spot? With a 10 high rainbow board and the villain being as aggressive as he is with that stack size, i feel he could easily raise forcing us to fold. I thought the hero's play was better off.

42:20 - I thought the 55 shove was a little loose, for me its <15BB for a shove in that spot. Whats the max BB's for you to shove here?

I had a very similar hand to 10:15 yesterday - the only difference was that myself and villain had 30BB's and the Villain's stats were VPIP:11 PFR:5 Hands:144. Info is somewhat limited but given that, how would you play it?

1: 300 BI's is more than fine, most operate at 150-200 BI's.
2: depends on how i feel, but i guess it never really matters as long as you're comfortable. Some play 100+ a day 24 tabling while others very little. There's no answer to this.
3: Search around and find what you get the most knowledge from. Obviously you want to be watching MTT's if you wish to take up MTT but search around finding what pros help you out the most.

15:35 - don't you feel the player could of had a K(KQ/KJ) here when making the river bet? I felt that the river bet was slightly risky given that he called the turn. Or is there more reasoning behind the river bet?
