48:00 You said that calling with KQo would be a massive mistake. What should be his calling range? 77,KJ seems like the most obvious candidates, but are we calling anything else here?
Since our value range beats 22 maybe KQ becomes a better bluff catcher since it blocks KK and QT? Of course we need to be careful because there is so many KQ combos, but maybe the ones without a heart?
Thanks for the videos guys.

Preflop: Calling is perfectly fine here. I'm not sure why would you want to 3B OOP here using small sizing vs. a tight opening range.
Flop: CBetting is going to do ok now that he called so we can go for it with some equity. Sizing is a bit too big though. I would choose something between 30-40%. Most likely just a 1/3 of the pot.

Don't know if this was mentioned but it would be helpful if the time of the video would show when you hover over the timeline. For example, now if I want to go to an exact point in a video I need to guess where it is.

Using firefox and there seems to be no volume control option in videos, which is pretty annoying. Also Flash player doesn't show anything but the timeline of the video.

I would 3B here sometimes and would flat sometimes, depending on our opponent's open raising range, how he reacts to 3Bs and plays postflop.

I would flat more often if BB was bad or tight, which he was in this hand. If BB was overly aggressive or very good I could see myself folding or lean towards 3Betting.

Also, would flat much less vs. bigger raise size.

I guess so, but compared to flatting we get ourselves into a lot of dicy high variance spots where we have to combat his 4Bets. Thanks for replying btw, great vid.

Regarding the AJo hand, it's more of a stack depth issue for me. If we are 100bb or more deep we can call some 4Bs with certain hands, whereas with 62bbs we are put in a 4B shove or fold spot a lot. Therefore, we kind of are unable to realize our equity with hands like suited broadways or even that AJo.

19:10 - What are the reasons for not having flatting range in the SB? What are we doing vs. 4Bets with AJo and with hands like JTs? Aren't we a bit too shallow to flat and a bit too deep to shove over 4Bs? If we are 3Betting everything that we want to play isn't that a bit exploitable?

30:20 - Interesting point on open shoving Q8s. I ran this spot in HRC and normally it would be unexploitable open shove, but if we remove top of our range (which we would be open raising and calling a shove) it becomes -cEV to open shove Q8s since blinds can call wider.
You said that you like open limping there 16bb deep, but it seem that it would be hard to balance our range here and have enough hands to call a shove with. How do you approach balancing here?

37:00 - With AQo 44bb deep I assume we are 3B/Folding vs. the original raiser? Most people seem to flat here so would be interesting to hear arguments for 3Betting?

42:30 -  With 22 vs. a guy who is opening 14bb stack into 4 reshove stacks maybe a bit too light to reshove?

Thanks and sorry for a long post :)

I would fold pre vs. his tight 3Betting range. He is 3Betting UTG open raise and UTG+1 call, I think we can be somewhat save that 38/16 is not exploiting us here.

On the Flop if he ALWAYS has AA,AK then we have 38% and pot odds are giving us 41%. I would get this in at that point, hoping that sometimes he folds and sometimes he has something worse than AA,AK.

I gave him standard Top 20% excluding AA-QQ and AK (JJ-66,AQs-A3s,K7s+,Q8s+,J9s+,T9s,AQo-A8o,K9o+,QTo+,JTo), against which we have 54% but upon review I think it's not the best range to give him. He probably is more heavy with low suited connectors as well as suited one and two gappers (T8s-T7s, 96s+, 85s+, 74s+, 64s+, 54s), which drops our equity quite a bit.

I would C/F a bunch of my airy 4Bs (Ax or Kx hands that I decided to 4B) but AK seems like a good hand to CB with our overcards? Against his 3B/calling range we still have 55% equity by my rough estimates.

Thanks for reply, RN. Shouldn't the fact that he is calling very wide here make it better to 4Bet bigger? I thought that 4Betting OOP >100bb deep 2.5x his 3B would be pretty optimal with our whole range. On the flop I would make this CB size with my range given 2.8:1 stack to pot ratio, but maybe you right, I should go bigger on a draw heavy board.

Great video, Grayson!

06:50 - According to my Icmizer calcs A5o barely profits 1 ante against nash ranges. Same with KTo @ 29:00.
What are your thoughts about taking marginaly profitable spots in turbos/hypers? Do you have some kind of cEV edge threshold or is it in your opinion best to take every +cEV spot?

Would be awesome to see some more content similar to Koon/Galfond reviewing MTT session. One of the best videos I've seen here. It works because there is one person who is very good poker player but might not know all the dynamics of MTT, and on the other side there is experienced MTT reg. This allows for very interesting natural discussion and good questions :).
