Veteran pro ttwist returns with his take on a live sweat, involving anecdotes and a lot of talk about his outlook on poker and his mindset for approaching grinding up a roll in the micros. This video is tailored specifically for micro level players by playing smaller buyin events to recreate some of the common problems and spots found at these levels. He is trying out a new style of live sweat he terms the vid/cast, which is podcast type commentary during a live sweat so the topics covered vary. Part 2 picks up a few hours after part one with a new bunch of tournaments due to a scheduling error but ttwist still has a full screen of vids up and has plenty of action to talk about.
Ben “KidCardiff6” Warrington WCOOP hand history review for TPE member Darveyt86
In the conclusion to Ben’s awesome 7 part series we return with davey hovering around 25bb for most of the vid. Ben makes some really good points about different adjustments we should make and how we react to aggressive opponents with wide 3betting ranges. Specifically Ben thinks we should narrow our opening range such that we 4bet shove our entire range over 3bets. This exploits not only the opponents’ wide 3b/f range but also prevents us from having an exploitable r/f range that is typical on Final Table bubbles. Davey makes it through to the final table picking up some good spots but unfortunately doesn’t last long as he snaps off the shortest stack with AK and fades a rather cruel board v 88 to cripple himself and is out the next hand in 9th. Still a run to be proud of! Ben mentions that he is currently taking on students and gives his website at the end of the vid. It is www.Benwarrington.com for those that are interested.
CCuster911 $60 Freezeout Hand History reviewed by Marc Alioto
Marc and CCuster911 continue their HH review. There are some cool discussions about squeezing ranges and as in past series Marc is constantly asking questions and thinking out loud which is good as it means there is constantly content. Cody has also been going pretty hard answering questions/comments in the video comment section so that’s also worth checking out. During the video we run good and build up a stack, which is good, as it yields deeper stacked poker and an interesting dynamic which makes it a worthwhile watch.
