What range are you going to be shoving here?
i'm finding it a little hard to determine what ranges i should be shoving over limpers and min-raisers. You made an interesting comment about 180s and shoving light over limpers which has made me realise that i'm pretty crap at doing this

Oh and another sick video your deeper analysis of situations in this video is awesome.

Also pleased me that i was quoting the same ranges as you were before you said them. WIN

Shoving range over a min-raise is really different to shoving over a limper. Here in this spot specifically it depends on reads/stats or whatever but in general in order of preferences (other than premiums, of course) is like pairs, suited broadways, off suit broadways, mid suited connectors (T9s etc) weak suited aces, small suited connectors/weak axo. I'll try cover this specifically in more detail in the future. And nice job about the ranges you got, keep practicing answering these when you look at spots both in videos and your own hand histories

Thanks for the compliment too, gl.

Hi Rui

Nice video. You obviously know your stuff and get in a lot more words per minute than myself!

I see you had a little flutter with some PokerStars 6-Max tables at the start of October. Was that a sign of things to come or were you just testing the water?

Tom

Hey thanks for the compliments, appreciate it. I am experimenting with various formats at the moment so yeah possibly might be "more into" 6-max sngs/MTTs etc in the nearish future. I have a lot to learn actually because I never really used sng wiz or got any coaching so yeah lol. Might hit you up sometime

Hi, i felt that 4xbb raise here is strange and quite often scared of a call, like he's doing that with kjo, A9s or 44-66.In this particular case would a shove with 99+(maybe88+) ATs (AJo i don't know) be wrong ? (also i think it depends on the stats i would say if he's very tight and maybe passiv he'd prefer to take the blinds thats why 4xraise or is this wrong thinking? - i gotta admit sometimes i played like thisbefore i learned otherwise, thats why i mention it...)
though i saw people do that with ak or even once with AA that was strange... , but more often this was a player who didn't know what to do with 55 or KTs in late position..i don't know...

Yeah it's usually strong but not nutted hands as said in the video, imo. Of course it can be AA or KJo but personally I don't think either nutted or random stuff like KJo shows up too often. Imo 88 ATs AJo are all folds but it probably can't be too bad to shove them, esp if from experience you have seen more trash in such a spot and have gotten fold e4uity etc.

Thx, great stuff.

I would not fold a T on a T77 flop to the limper's cbet. Think you are usually ahead and I would just call down. This seems pretty weak.

When hero open limps 66 from CO and the flop comes AKx, I would cbet against the blinds.

Yea both are fair comments. The c-bet isn't a c-bet technically though, he isn't continuing pre-flop agro etc.

From what i've seen in 180s 3$, when they do that it's more then 50% KK+ 25%-30% AK and the rest is QQ-JJ so I think it's minus EV to shove over his 3 bet here, esp considering we only lost 10% or 15% if we call. those small three bets in the BB are so top polarized even regs don't balance those spots for the majority.

why isn't calling a valid option here? esp in position?

What is the lowest M ratio you would raise with K10ss on UTG+1?

What is the lowest M ratio you would raise with K10ss on UTG+1?

I can answer this better in BBs rather than M. But it depends on stack sizes behind mostly.

As for AK, calling is not a good option because of an important concept - in spots like this, if shoving is not profitable because of how tight/strong his range is, calling is not good either in general. Reason is you either miss and c/f many flops, or you hit and win a small pot vs QQ, or you hit and lose big vs KK+.

I was watching this series on a 27" flat screen and had a hard time seeing episode 2-4 from a little distance due to the fact that you didn't maximize the window with the Universal Replayer. Instead you could see HEM in the background all the time for no apparent reason. Please bear this in mind for future videos. I actually went directly from part one to five.

Great content besides from that.

Hey sorry about that, I did that for the latest episode because of your message
The reason was mostly because I felt it was better to use the entire screen when I plan to use SNG wiz/HEM a fair amount of the time and in the past just dragging it into the small Universal Replayer sized screen was kind of inconvenient and occasionally I would miss something too. But yeah sorry about that!

Hi! In this video (34:14) u minraise JTo from CO (4060 chips, 125-250/25) and tend to fold on resteal. Next minraise KTs from HJ (4500 chips, 125-250/25). And in comments for another video u advise me to raise/reestimate with 15bb deep from HJ. But I saw yours previous videos and u just shove 15bb+ante stacks. And was sure u shove these hands always and never raise.

and the question is: do u use new strategy for deep stacks: for example, raise/fold for 15bb+ or it is just random hands.

Hey, in general if I make a shove, unless it's a mistake, it's because it's profitable. But, I used to shove a lot, even with a lot of BBs, and even if it's profitable, other options such as raise/deciding may be more profitable. That's pretty much why. The best option basically depends on villains behind, stack size/s, etc. Sometimes how many tables I play - If I'm playing a lot I might sometimes lean towards a shove as it reduces further decision making

What should be the effective stack size of considering a r/c in this spot?
Because sometimes it is hard to be calling with these marginal hands with confidence =[
I am more than happy to shove there with folding equity.
