Some people do need a second or so to actually realize where is left and right. Probably even more when not native language. For some reason I have this 'trouble' with North/South East/West although I do know where is what.Can't explain it :) +1 on 1/2/3/4.

Didn't notice you were elite now. I don't play that many MTTs atm but from the few vids I've watched from you, it's well deserved sir. Great content

very nice vid ! I love the way you explain how ranges are constructed.
would love to see some cash game reviews in the future, but it is true that tournament replays with hole cards exposed make for a great educational content.
I'm new to stud games, why do you call '2bet' a 3rd street reraise, considering there is already the bring-in (could be considered as a blind i guess?) and a raise (which would be the 2bet in big bet games). silly question probably but lets start with the basics :p
also, are there any specific resources (books, articles, whatever) you would recommend for someone who has a very strong knowledge of big bet games but only watched like 8-10 hours of stud vids?
last but not least: any software to use both while playing or for reviews?
thanks :)

@erdian: I guess 99 and JJ would be a somewhat standard fold and Ax probably a crying call.
@Disharmonist: it's not like I have 0 combo of nuts here, but I agree I have very few of them. I would be raising turn with hands such as AKKQ or AQXcXc some % of the time as deep to get some implied on various rivers and so my range is not too face up and villain can make many more mistakes OTR. I expect most regs to not shove nut straight on the turn this deep - sure some players will do it most of the time but I would say I get shoved on around 50% of the time when villain has it.
FWIW I will nearly never raise this hand OTT 100bb deep as I do expect to get shoved by KT closed to 100% and Im not really happy to get it in. But I find the turn play very cool in this case.
Overall the more I think about it , the less I like my shove. The odd thing is he actually tanked for a while... which led me to think my play is cool when it's probably not.

Im def not shoving QQ for value here.
At first I didnt agree that he only has boats and 'air' here, as I stated in my initial post, because too many regs bluff too much here.
Forgot to say it but Villain plays also 10/20 on the site (edited my first post) so he definitely has at least half of a brain and now Im leaning towards thinking he would not try to make me fold straights and is probably more polarized than I thought.
That said if he only has boats or air I guess calling has a much higher EV than raising small or shoving. There is no such ''thin value'' vs the range you describe.. or is there? Not cool to have high clubs in my hand but I have a very decent bluffcatcher agains boats/air.

UTG: massikeisari: $156.00
CO: 1sickstory: $700.50 (Hero)
BN: spirou1: $465.03
Not sure what stats he has on me but I play 36/20 with 22% CO open and 50% Cbet vs 1 player.

iirc Bustoville actually just released a video where he calls in the same spot with the (exact?) same hand. I'd be happy to hear his thoughts. I'm pretty much snap folding it as a standard unless BT or BB is a huge whale. but that's probably because i've watch many more vids from Phil than from Joni :D
Always impressed by the clarity of your thought process. Seems like all spots are so easy and natural :-)
Great job, as usual
