Re: Ryan Eight-Tabling $6.50 Turbos
According to the ICM, both spots are indeed +EV shoves. However, there are just some situations where I deviate from ICM and err more towards common sense (or stupidity depending on your veiwpoint). I did shove very wide in a lot of spots in that game, but there are some spots where I feel it just isn't warranted.
With the 74s, I have almost half the chips in play. There are only 400 chips in the pot, which in the grand scheme of things won't alter the outcome of this game in any way should I steal them. I know from my own playing history that when I have massive stack like this on the bubble, I end up taking to game down over 75% of the time. ICM does not account for this anywhere, and many have argued that this is one of the biggest flaws of ICM. Sure villains will call me tight, and I still have a chance to suck out if I do get called, but I don't think the risk is worth it just to increase my stack by 5.6%.
Also, with the stack setup we had at that table, when I fold the action that occurs after my fold almost always benefits me. 3 things can happen, all of which have a positive effect for me:
1. SB shoves into BB and wins. I'm still massive CL and now ITM with no effort.
2. SB shoves into BB and loses. I'm still massive CL and the stack setup becomes more favorable for pwning, since the short stack will be directly to my left, which allows me to pressure the other 2 stack from the CO and BTN
3. SB gives BB a walk, which gives more equity to BB and strips some from the other 2, allowing me to pwn wide the same as in #2.
The J8o hand I think I just missed. Folding that hand had none of the benefits of folding 74s, since SB and BB had pretty equal stacks.

Also, I fully intended on doing some review at the end, but the vid ended up at 52 minutes as it was. The games were taking a long time to load for some reason when I made this vid, and the disconnect obviously didn't help the timing at all. I actually cut out about 5 minutes from the start of the session where I only had 2 of 8 tables running and nothing was really happening.
For my setup, I use a hybrid Stacking and Tiling layout. I use Placemint control my layout, and I have it set to "Breadth First Fill" which puts a table in each stack before it ever puts a 2nd one in any stack. Also, I use the "Ripple Forward" option which moves the tables around after a bustout so that the oldest running table is always on the lower right, which is my natural focal point on the screen.
I do intend to do an entire vid on what I call "Productivity Enhancements" and focus on topics like table layouts, useful software, etc. It will probably come at the tail end of the BB series.
