    Really enjoyed the series and format, also appreciate the time you take to talk out ranges whether involved in the hand or not. On a side note the session stats on my HM2 are still red and it bothers me to no end, how do you change it ?!?! The HUD settings -stat appearance- section is how I change all the other stats colors and I may just be over looking it here. Would appreciate any help on this issue thanks.

    Hi. Really enjoyed the series and the format seemed to work well.
    I liked how you were able to spend some time on mistakes made by your opponents as viewers such as myself may be prone to some of these errors (while experienced players like yourself take the correct line as obvious). Thank you.

    Not wanting to rub salt in the wound, but the the JTo get in at around 47 minutes seems bad. Why not check call the flop? Your check raise narrows his range to one that beats yours and then you are forced to call off getting just about enough odds, which, with ICM, is close to a breakeven situation.
    I guess it depends somewhat on whether you expect him to shove AJ,KJ,QJs preflop,
    Villain is pretty hamstrung by ICM and is probably only 3betting the flop with flush draws(many of which are discounted by the 10 in your hand) and hands which crush yours. And i would guess that villain will rarely be 3barrelling light if we do check call.

    Also, 3bet-shoving AJo on 49 minutes is an ICM blunder, no?

    You mentioned somewhere that you might do an article on reshoving or calling after a short stack shove. I would defo read that fwiw.

    Hey man, I don’t have HM2 up right now but I’m pretty sure you’re on the right track. It might be in the general stats menu rather than the specific appearance menu.

    Yeah, I wasn’t a huge fan of the JTo get in looking back on it. I thought his get-in range vs my check/raise would be reasonably wide considering it’s so hard for me to have a strong hand when I check/raise that flop, and I was concerned about missing value on future streets once he just gives up. But I suppose I should have been more concerned about whether I was actually ahead or not.

    As regards the AJo play, I don’t think it’s an ICM blunder. I haven’t done the math on it specifically but we have significant fold equity on the opener, and we can’t be folding hands this strong 7-handed with 23bb very often. The reason I shoved rather than 3bet-called (which would almost certainly be the standard play vs an aggressive reg in an ICM-free situation here) was because of ICM, but ICM isn’t strong enough to make us fold here.

    I may do an article like that, yeah, especially if people specifically request it. The problem is, though, that so many of those situations are just math problems, and it’s hard to say much more about them than “practice the math, get good at estimating”.

    Looked at that ajo hand on 49mins with icmizer and it seems marginal depending on ranges. Probably fine, certainly not a blunder as my gut said.
    Was wondering what you meant by ´but ICM isn’t strong enough to make us fold here´. Maybe that marginally bad icm plays are fine cos icm is just a model?
