I am just about to watch the 4th video in the series, but before I do thought it would be best to supply some additional details on what I think so far. I would like to apologise for what comes across as my play being very nitty and there were lots of opportunities which I missed, certainly with shoves when down to under 10bbs.
The mentality of thinking I am always getting called probably affected my play – I think we have all been there when we shove k9 off suit and get called by a better hand and we don’t get there – this does not take away from it being a good spot and with my experience in the 27 man stg I should know this more than most!
I use Poker Tracker, but not when playing as I find a HUD difficult to use, some of this being due to playing on a laptop with normally a max of 4 games. This is not to say I don’t tag players during play, but probably comments such as being winning and losing players, rather than good but folds to 3 bets etc or plays hands face up – certainly something I should do more of.
In this video we had the final table bubble and I don’t think I played that well, as I was probably thinking of the pay jumps and also was thinking that on the final table I would hopefully get some good spots. For additional information 10th paid $132 and 1st was $2502 and top 4 was over $1k so maybe there was some ICM folds by me,
Hope there are some good plays by me on the final table, but no matter what I am enjoying having my game analysed by Ben and I have tried to incorporate some of the points into my game. I would like to think on the whole I am a bit more aggro than these videos have suggested but may be deluding myself!
Many thanks for reviewing my game Ben – hope it has not been too painful for you!

No need to clarify anything about your play my man. We have all been in similar spots where we played poorly in every spot possible. TPE is a place where members and fellow pros can get better by analyzing these spots. I am thankful for your HH because it has made me a better player while a big name pro reviews it. You dont even play badly, you just need to push more edges and your game will be top notch.

Watching this series tilted the f*** out of me. You skip 5 hands every 5 minutes.
