    Liked your discussion on multitabling vs. not. Like the HUD use also. I ask myself the same questions. Good to know I’m on the right track. Thanks. Ready for part two.

    The AQo fold at 40 mins is not to an UTG+1 3bet, it is to an UTG limp, UTG+1 iso 3x. I’m assuming that would change your analysis quite a bit if you guys noticed that. Are you still snap folding there Marc? I don’t think I would be

    just an iso-not a 3 bet

    I dont think folding is bad in this spot, but i do think flatting is best. Even if the limper raises we only lose 360 which isnt a huge chunk of our 5k stack. Playing aq in position this deep in an 11$ is a really good idea.

    For me it is actually dictated by my backer, but I think it is a pretty good standard and it is as low as 20 bbs for some tourneys and as high as 30 bbs for others. If I were on my own dime I might jump back in to SOME tourneys with 15bbs, but only the lower buy in/softer stuff.

    Couple thoughts/questions about K10 bb hand. Don’t you think your leading range should be more polarized to make play much easier when you’re raised? If you’re leading a condensed range say 66 on 842, it’s a pretty gross spot when original opener raises.
    In regards to check raising range, you really think opponents are doing that with pair and open end at that stack size? I don’t really think that’s the case. If KB is at 20-30bbs pre I think that’s always the case, but check raising with 40bbs is pretty nutted IMO

    I think check/raising a hand like kq here is perfectly fine. Im still experimenting with the lead so I’m not really sold on just leading hands that are easier to play against raises. I think a lot of players dont know how to react to a lead(including myself) so im basically leading to confuse my opponent. The lead is something im trying to master as I think it is the most under valued tool in NL mtts.
