Duggs Member HH review
https://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/tpe-member-duggs-hand-history-review-part-4/
Chris Moon raps up my HH looking at some of my later stage leaks, specifically opening too wide and failing to preserve an effective stack that we can expend our edge using, He also delves into pokerstove to determine the profitability of some calls and talks about how hands plays against different ranges, he also links profitability of calls in late stages not only to cEV value, but also to his previous article about the concept of tEV. He also looks at stack size dynamics and the likelihood of plays being successful. The amount of preparation Moon puts into his series is pretty evident and this hand history is very similar to his process when taking students for coaching sessions for those that are interested.
Ben “Kidcardiff6” Warrington WCOOP Hand History Review for TPE member Daveyt86
Ben continues his review of the WCOOP deep run, he pays special attention to making in depth reads on everyone at the table. Because we are going through each hand individually it yields some interesting insights from Ben as he develops some strong reads and accurately ranges each opponent based on board texture and postflop action. He covers 3bet sizing against different ranges with different results in mind. Ben covers some BVB preflop play with an aggressive dynamic, talking about hands we want to raise call v hands we want to open shove or open fold. He identifies how we should be firing a different number of barrels in single raised/3bet and 4bet pots. he also covers the importance of correctly categorizing our opponents. He finds a cool spot with 1010 and explains how we should look for players with 4bet/fold ranges to 3bet/5bet jam with a value wider range. Part 6 in particular includes some of the only short stack play in this series, but right at the end of the vid davey wins a flip to bring us back up to 40bb. Bring on part 7!
CCuster911 $60 Freeze
Marc Alioto is back, this time bringing Ccuster911 along for the ride on a $60 merge HH review, The pair have some interesting banter and we get two perspectives on each spot, including flatting ranges when deep v strong ep ranges and our efficiency and profitability whilst playing different numbers of tables. Since this is a marc vid as usual there is a lot of HUD talk and discussion of some underrated stats. Ccuster911 also makes an interesting point about taking really air weighted lines with value hands to induce action and bluffs when there range is weaker or they are on the passive side.

Forums weren’t pumping quite as hard as last week, but still some pretty interesting threads came up.
Muttley66 runs into a pretty redic spot with the 3rd nuts facing a massive overshove and there are some differing opinions on whether to call or not.
Jamo gets played back at with AA on a straightening flop
Loxxii wants some discussion of raise calling v Opening jamming ranges 16bb deep. (really interesting topic that we should expand on)
BadBeatfil gets 4bet in the early stages of a stars 180man, and gets put in a gross spot.
Community
Cousteer posts a mac friendly alternative to pokerstove, (seems relevant seeing as I’ve just been coping by using an iphone app)
The movie match ups are nearing their conclusion, with Shawshank Redemption and Fight Club emerging as our first two semi finalists
