Bigdogpckt5s Stars 1k Win Hand History with Mark ‘dipthrong’ Herm
Big Dog wraps up his 1k review with Mark Herm, this video picks up on the final table bubble, and carries all the way through the chop into HU, Big dog makes a lot of observations on game flow and talks about how our ability post-flop should determine our pre-flop strategy. There is interesting talk of HU dynamics and effective stacks towards the end of the video. Very interesting conclusion to the series which includes a lot of banter aswell.
MTT Pro Blackfours Hand History Review with BourbonFTW
https://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/mtt-pro-blackfours-hand-history-review-with-bourbonftw-part-1/
TPE pro BourbonFTW returns this time bringing his MTT pro friend Blackfours HH for him to review, Blackfours provides a lot of notes and discussion points. He also makes cameo appearances to discuss hands that BourbonFTW finds interesting. My favourite part of the vid is a discussion of 3bet ranges from UTG+1 v UTG with 25bb effective which is very interesting. A great start to the series!

This impressive series continues with turbulence still on the final three tables, His table is actually extremely aggressive and he has some interesting dynamics with other players on it. Chris Moon discusses 4bet sizing and talks about how this sizing differs with opening and 3bet sizing. Another interesting discussion is the talk of assigning 3bet shoving ranges to 20-25bb stacks and how widely to call them at different stages of tournaments. In part 5 Turb ends up with a shallower stack and they discuss the need to tighten up at different stacks sizes.
