Aha wow...made this post when I was new to zoom from MTT's and excited about winning what was my biggest pot! His play probably isn't anywhere near as bad as i made it out to be, although i'm still not a fan, but that may be because i don't understand it..
Could you explain the concept of reverse blockers??

Yeah you're correct, I was incredibly tired when posting this and omitted most of the major details, i.e my thought process and they ranges I had assigned to either player...I will edit the post shortly and hopefully get some feedback

I have been opening plenty of pots and have somewhat of a loose image...My read on the 3bettor is that he is playing a loose aggressive style and that he will be 3betting me with a decent part of his range, especially given that I have been opening a decent amount, particularly in the last orbit or 2...Reads on the 4bettor are limited, they have been playing tight over a 30 hand sample since joining the table but this may just be down to being handcuffed by stack size....
Edit: I have opened and showdown hands like ATo and 89s after opening from MP in the last 3 orbits...
3bettor: Given the above and my perception of them, I gave him a range of something like 88+, ATs+, AJo+, KQo, KJs + a number of lighter 3bets, i.e hands like 44 or 68s attempting to grab the initiative in position
4bettor:Been very tight over 30hands, but joined the table with around 12bb's so not much to go on...I have assigned them a range given both mine and the 3bettors image of 99+ AJs+ AQo
Options:
Fold: seems way too nitty and weak vs the perceived ranges of my opponents...however, it has the benefit of preserving my solid stack and position in the tourney
Call, knowing that the BN will at least call behind, meaning that I have to play an inflated pot OOP vs and aggressive opponent...not a great spot
5bet to around 28/30K: Has the benefit of looking stronger than moving AI? Probably narrow the BN range to pretty much the same as an AI, but how can I then react if BN does shove? Do I have to sigh GII knowing I've probably got around 25-30% to scoop (33-40% to win the 111K side pot) as I am getting 3:1 on the call
Move AI to isolate the sb: I have 52% vs the sb's range and given that I can get the BN to fold around 75-80% of their range, (QQ+ call) I can be pretty sure this is +EV but is it optimal?
I have done some EV calculations and will post later when finished/after some feedback...

Personally, I would just fold and move on here...Looking at villain's line and bet sizing, I'd say their range is fairly heavily weighted towards top premium hands (AA, KK, QQ, JJ? + AK) which we are clearly doing very badly against. Playing 100bb deep, do we really want to play an inflated pot where even an apparent 'good' flop i.e Axx or Qxx could see us get into trouble vs a large percentage of villains perceived range
Really excellent video Luke. This is the first month I've had an elite membership and your two videos alone have given me more than enough to think about for it to have been worth it!
