Poker Video: MTT/SNG by IWEARGOGGLES (High Stakes)

Luke, this is one of your better vids. Learned a lot from it. Especially appreciated the way in which you conveyed how to think in certain situations.

Thank you.

LIve play for the next video. And luke i have been putting on alot of volume in mtts and the thing you touched on about how variance can really suck in mtts i couldnt agree more. I have been running terrible as soon as we get inside like 20 ppl or so in big fields i just get in the top of my range and get sucked out. but its just part of it.

Also if you need any hand histories for a review ill give you tell you all the tourneys i play and see if theres any you could use for educational purposes.

KJ vs AT hand on the bubble

Would you also overshove here if you had a really big hand? His call seems pretty bad, but if he thinks you would never make that play with QQ+ or AK then his hand has a lot more equity. Also, how would you have played this if you were in the small blind instead of the big blind?

77 hand vs 3bet shove

I played with the ranges in PokerStove a bit and it really is close, you're right around 40-41% vs. any reasonable range that you can give him. You have to put 66 or smaller pairs in his range, or you have to put a lot of various broadway hands in his range, to make it a clear call. Unless you've been really aggro and you think he's fed up with you, I think it's a fold. 88 is probably a call though, you're really right on the border (from a purely cEV perspective, anyway).

Great vid. For tournaments, I definitely prefer the hand history reviews to live play. At the end you mentioned something about a leakfinder vid, what did you have in mind there? If you need member hand histories, I can send some in as well.

Hooray!

By live play do you mean real time online or in real life?

At the moment I feel like my next video will be some sort of FTOPS tournament video in which I repeat "be patient during WCOOP" because the levels are 30 minutes long and you'll all spew.

If I thought I had to balance, I would. I just thought KJo was too good of a hand vs. his range to 3-bet/fold. Of course I assumed he was going to 4-bet a wide range thinking I was abusing him. I'd rather 3-bet a reasonably polarized range instead and shove some of the hands in between.

If I was in this exact situation again with someone I suspect had watched this video, chances are I'd switch things up etc. etc.

I'll be thinking about this one for a long time. I'm 99% sure he knows who I am, so he probably knows that I have a loose preflop range, but I'm just not sure if he is actually shoving some of those hands.

My call might be marginally bad at worse, or slightly +. If that is all I have to nitpick about, I'm happy.

Yeah you guys have made it known that I'll never have a shortage of content.

I will also mention I appreciate having people comment in these threads.

Thoughts on a shove here by villain???

Thoughts on a shove here by villain???

He would only really be repping a flush and since I have the Ah it cuts down on the combos of flushiness as well. 99% of MTT players would bet Qx, 99, and 22 on the turn and river.

Actually, I'm not completely sure if I'd end up calling but I think it's safe to say that I don't think I'm getting check/shoved on the river very frequently at all, maybe 5% of the time or something.

Good question!

I realise you mentioned that this was a tough field so 3-bet jamming in this spot is more common among these games, but what percentage of his flat call could have a 2?

It was a great call on the turn when he check shoved. That's a really tough call for me and probably one that I'd end up laying down. Was this player dependent read or do you think that because you ultimately played a pocket pair or complete air type of play, that his shoving range is probably pretty light?
