Whats your limp raising 20bb range look like from utg? I really like the idea of limp-shoving 77 but are you doing this with AQ+, TT+? It’s a bit like when we open shove 20bb with 99. Yes its probably fine but if were not doing it with AA then it’s not taht difficult to play against.

I tend to agree with comment above. Also re 86o hand – given you knew guy in SB was bad were you not worried about him calling wider with worse (than AK) but still with hands that had you crushed given he was a calling station such as A8s/A6s for example?

Very nice vid, I really prefer this type of format that is conducive to watching while driving, grinding, working out, etc. I hate trying to follow live sweats since I rarely sit down and give any vid 100% of my attention.
The AJo SB spot seems like the standard these days, but I would argue that it is a losing 3b. When I did a recent Leakbuster analysis of my cash games, it identified 3betting out of SB as one of the biggest money leaks. So while I continue to add really ambitious 3bets from most other positions, I’m folding and flatting more from SB, especially vs EP opens. To counter the positional disadvantage, we get a decent price on the flat and on T high boards we can lead vs. the passive ORs and c/r the aggro ORs. I’d still 3b this hand vs. opens from steal positions. It also keeps dominated As in the ORs range. To counter BB squeezes, we use hands like this one for flat/4b lines vs. aggro BBs. Whaddya think of this strat Chris? Position still trump my other arguments?

good question, its definitely fair to say that just about any limp/raise ranged is crazy narrow. i personally think ive done it maybe two dozen times total in my career, and its generally only when i feel the table will have a slew of aggo fish who r/f against my limp/shove. it’s something i saw kids doing a lot in live tourneys and threw in here and there to tinker with. so far, so good.

going to take a look for the hand in question and get back to you MR G

MR G,
yes i double checked the hand. can’t even say i agree with this play anymore standing here today. you’re right that with his stack size and willingness to call, that he will be calling more than we’d like. my initial reasoning was concerned with only the fact that he calls too wide pre, but didnt consider whether or not he’d fold on the second go around. i have to say that sitting here today this seems like a mistake in my eyes. great response

first, Bob (“can I call you Bob?”) I’d like to say thanks for the kind words on the format. you won’t see me doing too many live sweats..I’ll say bc i dont like them (but really bc i mumble like an idiot when i try to multi task). they truly do, however, take away from my ability to play, so i don’t spend too much time w them.
second, im very intrigued by your leakfinder evidence. i’d be very very careful using cash game data to formulate tournament strategy though, if that’s what you’re doing. leakfinder is great for cash games, which have more static ranges and deeper stacks; but i’d argue you’re comparing apples with oranges if you want to extrapolate that data to MTTs. i find merits to your post-flop intentions and will give them more thought in my off-time, because they seem very interesting and plausible. my initial reaction, though, is that to make this brand of flat(/4b) and lead or ch/r OOP post, you need to be flatting a decent percentage of the time with QQ+, AQs, AK also. your post flop strategy will become fairly predictable to good regs otherwise

IMHO there are only a handful of instructors who have the odd skill of being able to teach well while they multi-table. Balugawhale on DC is incredible with this, prolly because he’s been making vids forever. Many seem to think they can but their vids are filled with dead time and then good spots get rushed over.
Agree with this strat we’d have to be flatting many premiums too. But in the merge and WPN midstakes that I play, there are so many ABC TAG regs (18/14/4 types) who won’t give action to SB 3bs vs their EP opens with dominated hands, that I think this is OK.
