Part 4

Part 5

During part 3 Daryl built a huge stack and he continues to crush during part 4, so now we are treated to some deep stacked play, including a triple barrel spot early in the video. There is also some great info about playing hands from late position and SB with some re-shove stacks behind. There is also a sick hand later in the vid where Daryl makes a huge river call with third pair. He carries his huge stack through part 5 on the way to the final table. Watch out for the 5bet with QJo!

Bigdogpckt5′s Mixed Stages Live Sweat (Part 1 of 2)

Part 2

In the second part of this live sweat, we continue to rail Bigdogpckt5s through the 33 2r1a on stars and the 30r on Lock. Unfortunately a table change means KB is no longer in the video, but we get to see a final table in the stars tourney. The fact that we don’t get a part 3 is a bad sign because it means that an early final table bustout occurred but the first two parts are still great viewing.

Thin Value Bets

https://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/thin-value-bets/

One of the most important concepts in modern poker theory is the ability to extract thin value from our opponents when we have marginal holdings, and this article highlights that. I really like the point about value betting when your bluffs catch some sort of equity on the turn or river but the draws we are representing all miss.

Forum

This week in the forums, “MartinAltman” wonders whether he can fold bottom set on a draw heavy flop https://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/forum/mtt-poker-strategy/can-i-fold-set-here/

Another interesting post was made by “DaNta5tic” who posts about a hand he played from UTG and about UTG strategy in general.

Lastly, there is a nice thread going about balancing family and poker started by “switelex,”  interesting read.

TPE members also crushed the Auckland Anniversary Poker Champs where we came close to a TPE double final table.  “emufart” finished 5^th for a cool NZD11.4k while “hapetimes” just missed the final table finishing 11^th for around 3k. Awesome job guys! Last but not least, there was a great online score to mention, with “arukidinme” getting unlucky and finishing 2^nd Pokerstars Big $27 after surrendering a bit heads up chip lead.

That’s it from me guys, make sure you keep posting hands and your results in the forums, we love to hear about them!

See you at the tables!
