Hand 2 - AA from UTG in a Rush Rebuy Tournament

So you all requested and I obliged, I took the initiative to try and diagram all the hand action for you guys. Now I will try to do this each week, but I cannot guarantee it as things can be really busy. Let me know how you like the presentation and remember Vanessa is not at fault for anything I depicted wrong.

I would like to thank Vanessa again for bringing me on her show, this was a first for me so I was a bit nervous if you can not tell.

Using my cat pic from twitter is hilarious, and I love the way you are visualizing the discussion...especially since my discussion on the last hand may have gotten confusing.

Great experience, thanks again!

I think people would not check raise KQ and K10 that often.. They Would just call most of the time.

I Vanessa.

yea imo vanessa should do podcasts on hem own on weekly basis, talking about strategy and stuff. Love them in mp3 format.
Barts ones are great, but we want moar

Jaybeastie is a sick tourney play from DC I would love if you guys got him on the show to talk about some spots.

How's the progress going with the cold 4-bet bluff from the blinds idea?

If you put in the smallish 4-bet with KK to 40k as suggested, how do you proceed on ace-high flops if one (or both) other players call pre-flop?

I'm finding a lot of success with 4-betting from the blinds, granted a proper scenario doesn't present itself nearly enough to know in such a short time frame. Especially in lower stakes finding players capable of 3-bet folding is insane, so as much as I like doing it lightly I still need a somewhat tight 4bet range unless I have good enough reads to allow me to open it light.

In late stages of tournaments, it has been working very well though where everyone is playing super tight or freaking out.

The idea behind 4 betting to 40k that I took from Vanessa was to get entirely wider ranges such as TT-AA, AK+ to shove over your 4bet or getting calls, both of which are awesome for us. So when players flat and there is no A, a play to get your stack in there is what you're looking for obviously. When the ace hits though you are likely checking to the river or being bet hard at which point you fold and still maintain your tournament equity. As opposed to a bigger 4bet/shove you are weeding out TT, JJ, and some QQ/AK losing a ton of equity when your chips are committed to seeing 5 cards.
