    Hi Brian, Could you show the math behind deciding what hands to raise-call shortstacks with? I have no clue what hands to do this with. Also, how big of a stack do you usually want before you start minraise stealing? Thanks

    "I'm not saying that everything i do is 100% right" "no one on earth can look through my hand history and find a mistake" "not a person on the planet plays better than me" LOL a bit contradictory

    I dont have an exact formula to show when to raise/call short stacks. Its more of a "is this going to get through a lot, and how good of odds am I getting on the shortstack?" You should start posting hand histories of the spots you are unsure of so I can have a look. FTPlayer- I didnt mean to contradict myself, just wanted to be clear that I am the best at 180s, but not perfect. And that a lot of my ideas are subjective, but no one wants to object due to my best results.

    Cool. Here's a couple of spots that I tend to struggle with. What should my range be in these and what should I be thinking about before making a decision?

    1st hand - yes, exactly a spot where to raise/call shorty and raise/fold to everyone else. 2nd hand - Again, perfect spot to execute this play. You have the right idea.

    But what kind of range should I be doing this with? What should I be thinking about when deciding whether to r/c in those hands?

    Thats the beauty of it, you can do it with almost ANYTHING because you are getting such great odds if the short stack gets in there.

    You spend the first 10 minutes totally ripping it out of the guy for raising 2.5x with 3s OTB because "you make all your money when you flop a set." When the fact is it doesn't matter at all whether its 2x or 2.5x in the first level. Then you talk about 3betting 8s to a min raise when tbh it seems like totally the worst option as if he did that then the villian would have hit top pair on the flop. What do u do then? call every street till you hit your set on the river? Or check fold after 3 betting to 900? The hand where the guy hit top set with Kings maybe the flop lead out was weird but after the villian called he seemed to play the hand perfectly and set the hand up to get stacks in on the river. You said bet an amount he will call, guess what he thought he would call the shove cos maybe he thought it looked weak and the villian would make a hero call. Does this review sound harsh? Well guess what. That's the way you sound every time you review someones play. Oh wait I almost forgot " No one will ever find a mistake in my hand history" LOLOLOL I switched the vid off at this point. Your obviously a good player but god damn ligthen up a bit when reviewing someones play.

    my JJ instructor had a saying...."It's not sewing class ladies...".  I think it applies here.

    I dont at all try to be harsh. I just try to make my points very clear and I have always learned best when my mistakes were pointed out in a clear manner, with an explanation that was memorable. If I sometimes sound a little "harsh" please do not take it personally. It has nothing to do with any human individual, we are all just virtual players in a virtual game when I am reviewing on video. It is just a game, a game where good decision making wins and bad decision making loses and my job is to help you make better decisions and therefore make more money playing. And of course someone can find a mistake in a random HH of mine, I didnt mean it literally. I just mean I dont have any obvious leaks at the 180s that other players are exploiting. And remember, any time you are watching a video or reading a poker book, ect, that its just an individual sharing personal insight, knowledge and opinions. You dont always have to agree with them, or like what they have to say. Thats the beauty of this world though. You just have to learn to see the positive in things and life becomes easier and less stressful. Good luck.
