stevemruk You're a beast, good work.
jnells Around 30 min mark on the warmup table in the middle, you make a clear shove with A10s from the button and the next hand you min raise AA. I feel like this is not optimal, just from the point of view that literally the last hand you open shoved, I think you should be shoving AA. Plenty of people don't have a minraise/folding range in that spot, so to me it doesn't matter if you do it matters if they think you do and if they aren't shoving hands they would for sure call a shove with you are losing too much value.

Also in the instances where you get called by a hand that couldn't call a shove do you really expect them to peel 76s and then stack off on a j74r board, because again as you continue putting money in postflop I think the inclination people would make is to put you on a range heavily weighted towards big pairs. What hands do you r/f in that spot considering that the next hand from 1 position later and with a bigger stack you also open shoved Q10s?

To clarify I am thinking that I would agree with the min raise instead of the shove if you hadn't shoved the very last hand (for example if you had the same number of BBs 2 orbits later) but with game flow I would classify it a marginal to medium sized error and would like to hear your thoughts on that.

great video BTW. I loved the last series and you are doing a lot different than myself (on lock poker and live donkament GO USA) and it is making me consider many different lines.
King Dan with 11bb on the button 99% of the time I am playing push fold (sometimes I get cute and openlimp, will occasionally minraise some stuff, maybe against a complete donk in the big blind might make it 5x hoping he pair mines)

with 13+bb in the CO I don't think it's necessary to play push/fold, and aces is a hand I want in the 'raise small' strategy.
cryptopsyFan 10:46 seconds you have QJs on table two and make an pretty obvious fold but what I was wondering how deep would you have to be to call here?
King Dan if forced to answer ill say 33 big blinds but not particularly adamant about it

edit: ehhh I'll change my answer to a bit less, maybe 25ish bb.
jjyykk Hey Dan, not sure if you're still responding but I thought the hand at 5:26 top left was interesting. You're talking about HUD stats and someone shows up as 57/57 over 7 hands (so he's played 4/7 hands and now 5/8 after his raise). You have 15bb on the button with 44 and I would always shove there.

Was curious if you agree or just glossed over because you were focused on talking. If not, I'm guessing you're shoving something like 66/AJ?

i'm also a bit curious about your decision to bet 250 into 900 or something 3-way on the J57hh board at the 31:00 mark bottom left.
