This turned out to be “Midstack Masters” week at TPE as both Chris Moon and Andrew Brokos both put out clinics on how to play with 30-40bb. Merfinis had the luxury of a much bigger stack as he completed his latest series. It’s tough to play when you are not “ship it” short, but not quite deep enough to go into Big Dog mode. However this is the crux of tournament poker, so you best pay attention and learn from the pros.
*One time for OneTime1Time who damn near shipped the Sunday Million this week!

Merfinis wraps up his review of the Bigger 33. In this final part, he starts with the last 5 players. Unlike the other videos this week, his tourney is still surprising deep at this stage. Arvydas is able to apply the pressure and finish strong.

Chris Moon completes the final 2 parts of his ACR 100k review. In part 4, he works his 30-40bb stack all the way to the final table. In part 5, he continues with this stack until the final 5 and does a good job of closing it out once he gets a bigger stack.
WCOOP Main Event Warmup Hand History Review with Andrew Brokos
Andrew Brokos is back this week with another WCOOP review. In part 1, he doesn’t get very many hands but does a nice job of managing a 30bb stack. Watching this video has done a lot for my confidence which was waning as of late.

As a teacher, I would always tell my kids they needed to study for the upcoming test. At times, it seemed like they never did. One day out of the blue, I realized that they had no clue of HOW to study. We run across this same issue in poker. The article this week will give you the steps you need to productively review your sessions.
