Poker Video: MTT/SNG by OMGClayDol (Mid Stakes)

Great Video - Nice score

Again i would love to read or hear your breakdown of NASH and its relevance even at the $2.50 180's.

Considering the number of tables you play etc, at what point during an MTT or 180 are you starting to ascertain regs / unknowns through sharkscope etc? Obviously volume at 180's will give you better insight but the MTT's themselves?

Appreciate you are away at the moment but have you managed to participate in any of the TCOOP events with any success?

Nash is basically an unexploitable equilibrium strategy for all players and if and only if ALL other players are playing exactly nash should you actually play it. It's unexploitable but not optimal (most profitable) as since others play different to nash there is a more profitable strategy. We can exploit others exploitable ranges. For example if a reg shoves 100% bvb into us (this would be bad if he KNOWS we are a good reg or whatever) we can call wider than nash since he is shoving exploitably too wide, but if he shoves nash and we call tighter than nash the hands in nash we don't call are profitable and we are giving up profitable calls and if we call looser, the hands outside of nash are not profitable calls vs a nash shoving range. In short, don't worry about it, the only spot/s I would consider shoving nash are bvb and maybe btn vs blinds if all players behind are -very- good regs.

I know a lot of the MTT regs already but generally if I make say final two tables or so I consider sharkscoping the guys who appear to be unknown to me. The less tables I'm playing the more likely I am to do this

gl and let me know if you have any other questions

i think, like, that u do , like to like to much, geeez, how many fkn times u using like like like?

lol please chill out.

if the likes really affect him that much i think he has some serious issues lol.

I am sure you have heard this question alot, but i am new to this site and thought it mite be best to watch the top 0.56% before this series. is all the content in the 1st series still relevant or have the games progressed a bit ?? or do you update in this later series ? my roi is about 38% over close to 3k games in $2.50s. i only 4 table at the min but over next few months plan to start playing more and more tables. hoping these series will help me get to a higher level. loving them so far. thanks.

Yes it's definitely still relevant. The games and strategies for 180s won't really change that much, as regs get better slightly more light (non all-in) 3-betting etc might go on, but that's about it. Your roi is pretty good over that sample (although it makes sense with 4 tabling). I would basically definitely try to play more tables slowly as you said you planned to, and then eventually move up stakes. There are some "updates" but most of the stuff is pretty relevant imo . Basically if you watch series one, which I would recommend t most people before watching series two, just be careful about ICM spots (final table usually) in the first few episodes as I underapplied/ignored them a bit (this is mentioned later in that series)

Thanks and best wishes, gl let me know if you have any other questions at anytime

Thanks for the quick reply man. will watch all the videos over next few weeks and if i have any questions will ask !!

at a final table now so better get back to it !!

Like I mean like great vid like you know ;-)

Cool thanks guys haha
questions are welcome longtraw, gogogo

Hey I watched this video yesterday night, played my first big turbo tournament and went deep lol (while running another 30 180 mans though). I'm wondering if the villains are too short here to shuve. I'm pretty sure they figured out by know that I was shuving pretty light.

al right thanks! Another question regarding table ninja. Just wondering how you would arrange the target numbers if you mix the $3.50R and $8? Put them both at ~32 and let table ninja do its thing? Also what would mixing $3.50R to $35 look like?

Not really sure at all sorry?

would u say you expect the range here to be that tight mainly because this is a 109 buy in? the range you mention seems very polarized although i get your point if these are all higher stakes regs

In general unless I have reads to suggest otherwise I think the value range of a reg there (at pretty much any stakes) will be pretty damn tight, and yea pretty polarized, in most cases without much bluffs.
