Video Description

We are going to go over how to play your big and medium strength hands late in the sng/mtt with high blinds. I am going to discuss different lines that can be taken and why some are more effective than others. This is the last of a three part series on critical hands that come up while you are playing poker. The other two videos will cover early and middle stage play. This video covers crucial spots only and my thought process behind the play I made. If you can play your big pots well you will have a significant advantage over the majority of your competitors!

The way you played the KO bounty hand was very interesting. What other kinds of adjustments would you make in these tournaments considering players make so many loose calls to get bounties?
BTW Thanks for the video, very insightful!

Thanks Kloptikus, I may make a video about KO tournaments in the next month or so. If players are playing to loose, the counter strategy to that is to play tight and mainly be betting for value with very little bluffing.

Hi pimpin, love your videos.

On the A 10 vs K5 hand you re raise to 2400 pre with 3230 behind you, when you raise you said you wanted to leave yourself room to fold if AArontheb comes over the top. Just curious if your ever folding there if he does come over the top, i dont think i would ever find a fold there after committing 40% of my stack in that position i probably just ship it, maybe u can tell me why u would just consider folding after that raise.
Thanks

Thanks peanutbutter, I think I would fold there if aaron the bee shoved. The reason is his cold 4 betting range there is crushing A10. So I would prefer to stay in the tournament rather than get it all in way behind.

i would shove there JJ+ AQs+ AK, so AT would be 100% dominated...

Nice work yet gain.. And you seem to run like a greek god, or did you filter out 90% of the hands you got sucked out or misjudged in?? nah just kidding..
