I believe limping could be the main strat here in this huge ICM spot when you are 2d in chips vs chipleader with ultra short 3d stack
Same aplies for postflop when you are heavily disincentivised to increase the pot as an overall strategy. So he should play most of his range passively
upd: oh, you corrected yourself later, cool.

You should have both cards making a hand to have a JP. If he had JJ+ it would have been a JP, just with A - no. But thanks for fun video)

finally some entertainment stuff is out there )

amazing format Luke, please more!

Top format, please mooore!

Lets go BB vs BU 3bpot, or Bu calling 3bets from Blinds :)

thats really cool one

Thanks for the footage review. Like the format.
so whats the result of the last hand? did you call it off?

He calls river w K3 but mixes some folds with K7, because K3 blocks your 43s

Hey, great video as always!

I find A6cc hand at least a little closer OTR. Seems like a lot depends on whether he is opening QTo from that position or not, cause he will choose QT T9s hands for bluff first and then maybe AQ AT. In this case Ac6c seems to be a little better than QJs JTs. We also do block A4/AA/64s(just in case). Not saying we should be calling here, but just think it's closer than it looks. What do you think?

Hey Pedro, thanks for the great content!

btw Looks like you forgot to add the rest of the calling amount in the pot in the 2nd hand.
So it should be:
82k/ (101k+137k+82k) = 0.25

You are right Ben. I'm sorry that i made you feel this way

34:15 63s.what do you think about min leading this turn with range?

Thanks for the video Phil!

Did run some HR (numbers below are % from the total prizepool left )

1) A3s is a fold if he opens about 28-30% (-0.06%), and +0.07% if opens 35%. I think i'd fold in game, we do really want the super short to bust or have some higher ev shoves, but it's definetely close one.

2) J7s is +0.16% shove given the ranges they would call in reality (i put RescueGrp TT+,AK) vs his 99+AQs+ it's +0,13%.

3) 33 is a +0.07% shove only when i decently tighten their range, otherwise it's a bit negative. Yes we are the shortest now, but i'm pretty sure we can find just bit better spot later on.

min 27.
You raise the river w Q2. Given that you don't have too many valuehands here after turn was x/x, isn't raising some Ax more that enough?

min 32 w 22. You said it's ok to overbet the river here, cuz we can xback twice here with some Tx, not sure if you missed that , but in the hand hero bet 1/3 pot OTT which i doubt many of our Tx hands wanna do. What do you think? Anyway we have the bottom of our range, so maybe it's fine to bluff here with some freq.

Hey Zaza, cool video!

To the last hand you discussed in the replayer. You mentioned that his semibluff x/shove hands could be smth like A3cc or 8cXc, but what hands would you recommend to put in his x/c twice range to protect QQ+ hands from folding too many rivers? Maybe a hand like QcTc QsTs or JsXs, but seems as it's not enough anyway and probably not even 3betting them in these positions.

Hi teunuss, good video as always. Nice Q8s spot with piosolver

39:40 66. I think you overcall here preflop with 22-55 too right? Would you bluff all of them OTR if checked to?

Hey Juan,
min 22 table 1, is that a standart flat pre with 22 for you or you are doing that only because of a weaker player on BB?

Liked the analysis on the last hand!

very nice format! enjoyed it so much )

8min
KQo vs short stack on AJx. Do you cbet/call vs shove?

35min

Q8s What's your plan for different river cards? 

23:50 KQs

Do you consider flatting flop sometimes here with 2 overs & 2 backdoors?

Awesome vid Ben, gonna be nice series.

min 11, table 3, KJo

What do you think about c/r flop some % of the time especially not blocking any heart?

min 7 54o

What's the logic behind choosing that sizing OTT?, i assume you balance that lead with hands like QT,KT,43 so are you giving yourself a good price to draw? Just interested in how you come up with that size being optimal.

You said you were surprised he didn't raise the turn w AJ. Isn't raising strong hands OTT vs such a lead strat making a call down range much weaker and harder to play on rivers? And he's blocking Ax you could lead with + there are no fd'ss to charge and protect vs.

JTo hand

If you are trying to fold chops or A high, than there is no value in raising Qx. But as a bluffraise vs bluff in a soft field it's probably good.

Hey, thanks for the answer.

Yeah, with these ranges abeainy can shove any2 profitable.

I would just not flat small pockets vs wide BTN range here and would't like to 3b/shove with 66-99 or AJ,AT due to stacksizes and icm considerations, so i'd instead flat and call if BB shoved. In this case BB can profitable  shove no more than 10-12%.

Welcome Fedor!

Such a great content man, a lot of interesting thoughts in this one!

- A9o hand in SB vs BTN

You mentioned here you would shove 30% in BB. I've made ICM calculations for this spot with all the prizes. In the video you said he had 40% step OTB, i think it's going to be wider as he became big CL, so i gave him smth like 57%(maybe it's even higher). With your flatting range here pre(i rly don't think u flat neither wide here nor monsters) and BTN/your call vs BB's shove range i got the result that he can't shove wider that 10% (ICM is playing a big role). 

So, can you pls give me more info about 1) your flatting range pre here 2) with what hands you would call if BB shove and BTN folded 3) what range you would call if both BB and BTN shoved 4) do you agree that BTN's open is >40% here?

I'll post a new result here on BB shove range after that. Thanks a lot again!

That was strange to see you continued to 3x/fold hands like 23o when you saw he clearly 3b a ton

14:20 Can you pls explain your turn lead/sizing here w 76?

Hi Sam!

1) What do you think about 3b/fold w KJo at 15min? 

Let's say we make it 2150, they would still have to fold their SC's and low pairs, but we save chips when they have strong hands and we are more balanced with our nut hands that we would prefer to 3b, instead of shoving 25bb.

2) JTs min 20, i think we'd better bet a bit bigger OTT, to make the pot OTR smaller than exact pot size bet. Smth like 5200-5400 both with bluffs and good hands. 

Agree or disagree?

3) T9o is a bad shove for sure, but it's good you included this hand too. 

Thanks for good video!

What happened around 20:37 min, when shorstack was having 10bb and became 45bb next hand on video, seems like decent part was skipped or smth?

Tnx for a good video, there were couple of interesting spots/hands.

Great work David!

- Rly like you clarified in detail spots like,KT OTT vs different opponents (min16) and set of 22(25min)

- min 38. KQ hand, def think jam is +EV here, but i agree that flat can show higher profit (esp if we have a plan for different runouts). Would you c/shove T9 OTF?

- min 42. 88 I think if you decide to raise here, u gotta make it bigger, you give him pretty good odds to call with pair+gutter or fd and i don't think he is folding to bigger sizing when there are 2 fd's on the board. Also i've seen you raise small like this only with good hands (at least twice in this video), so kinda be aware of that =)

Big big + for the speech about not crying about beats. Seems like a lot of players,even good ones, think they have the worst beat ever and every contact on their Skype should see it. And in times you are trying to calm them down or explain smth,they can occasionally  say smth like - "well, you run lucky all the time, so you don't know how it feels like". (put a big face palm smile here)
