      I'll be honest: I have used it twice during my last 1000 buy in live tournament. I was ITM and used it to stall for a level more, because the other tables were still playing. I won 800 more (5800 total) thanks to that.
      I do agree that staling is bad, and I strongly support the action clock and time cards. We had these and I used them at full. This let me 30 sec more before action to play. It was decisive, so I don't regret it. I dislike this strategy, but if It is convenient for me, than I use it as any other player is allow to do the same.

    6:46 you got me fucked up if you ever think I'm folding pocket kings at a final table w 6 players off of 30 bigs leaving only 15 bigs behind. That's great spot to potentially triple up and make a run for first place. If they get cracked, they get cracked. If they have aces, they have aces. But I'm never folding pocket kings in a 3 way all in on a final table with pocket kings. No way Jose.

    You say in the video the shorter stacks can silently collude to stall. To me it sounds like a response to the big stacks that move the little stacks all in and if there are a few big stacks they silently collude by checking down until the river to increase the odds of knocking a short stack out.

    • @LouisE-mp8lx
      @LouisE-mp8lx 9 місяців тому +7

      I don’t even know what he meant by that, stalling is purely selfish and is in no way collusion by smaller stacks.
      If anything, stalling actually hurts the other smaller stacks. You’re stalling and hoping that one of the other smaller stacks will bust before you.
      The bigger stacks are not really affected either way by short stacks stalling as they are at less risk of busting, they just get inconvenienced.

    • @killemdeader1189
      @killemdeader1189 6 місяців тому +1

      Bigger stacks are hurt a lot by stalling near the bubble. They get a huge advantage from bullying smaller stacks that are strongly disincentived to play a big pot, and stalling limits the hands they get to press that advantage.

  • @tsarrast
    @tsarrast 9 місяців тому +4

    The first 2/3 of this video regarding the opens/3bs for most but not all of stack is significantly more interesting and perhaps worthy of a larger video. It would be interesting to find more spots where you make these plays.
    By the time you got to the leave-a-chip section at the end it was relatively trivial.
    You also never mention this specifically, but another one of the big reasons why you fold in the multi-way spots is because the last players all-in range is often so strong that your equity goes down plus they are favorites HU vs the other allin opponent. For example, in one of the spots the 70bb chip leader reshove range was AA KK and he’s a big favorite to bust the person who 3b our open.
    Nice video, thanks for the quality content.

  • @aptand
    @aptand 9 місяців тому +33

    I started doing the almost all in back in 2009 or something. The reason I started doing it was because I accidentally folded to someone click-raising instead of going all in for like 2,5bb. I played too many tables (like everyone else back then) and if someone went all in you would only get the fold or call button as options but since he wasn't all in I could re-raise so because I got the three buttons it didn't register as an all in in my mind and I just quickly folded my 92o or whatever. After this I started doing it for that reason alone. It wasn't rare at all that BB would fold to my 2-3bb raise with like 0,2bb behind.
    After that I also realized that it fucked with my stats in peoples huds because it lowered my fold to 3bet so I started doing it at any stack depth, not only when I was really short.

    The most obvious reason to do it.... In most tourneys you are still entitled to the full Big-Bling ante even if you only cover a fraction of it. If you save a $100 chip and the BB ante is $5k you still win the entire $5k chip if you win the next hand.
    You are basically giving yourself a freeroll, there's actually no reason NOT to leave a chip.

    i don’t really think you can say it’s soft cheating bc it “lets smaller stacks collude to reduce the effects of ICM”. For one there’s no collusion. And then secondly you’re allowed to use up your time and youre allowed to go all-in minus one chip. If that reduces the advantages of ICM that’s a strategy allowed through the game

      Bubble factor and Risk Premium isn't conventionally applied to postflop spots, so your heuristics may feel "off" here.
      Traditionally, these are calculated preflop by measuring the $EV losses and gains when two stacks shove all in. On the river though, the pot can significantly reduce Bubble Factor, especially if the pot is large relative to the stack.
      Bubble factor is calculated using this formula: ($EV LOSS if you lose) / ($EV gain if we win)
      Risk premium is calculated as the difference between the ($EV Required Equity - Chip EV Required Equity)

  • @sremeolbe1323
    @sremeolbe1323 9 місяців тому +1

    When analysing whether the strategy is exploitable the argument that it isn’t is based on the fact, that the BB cannot call the jam even when he knows we are folding. However, what happens when co just minraises/raises non all-in with the intent to fold if we fold? It might be a strategy where the co loses chips according to EV but, since we also get shorter, actually gains value according to icm

    People overthinking the game makes for videos like this. If that move is advantageous for the player then why shouldn't they use it? They are playing this game to win, like every person on the table. If they think this strategy is the best chance, then they will do it. Same with big pots. Why they raise a big blind with weaker cards just to force smaller pots to fold? They take advantage of their situation to win the game. That is all. Your job is to find counter play to this. Thst is where the strategy of the game lies. You have to play the best strategy to you at any given time.

  • @garyk5141
    @garyk5141 9 місяців тому +10

    I do this for 2 reasons, first for the ante, if i only leave 1 chip even a 100 chip i am still eligible to collect the entire ante which late it a tournament can be thousands. Secondly an all in gets everyones attention, but a raise doesnt and they may not realized that i have 1 chip behind.
    I dont agree that its cheating at all, u are within your rights to bet whatever and take as long as u want if someone doesnt like it they can simply call clock on you and more recently they have introduced time banks/chips so if a player is strategic enough to save them for these situations then they deserve it. I had 3 minutes worth of time banks left and i did the 1 chip behind and then used all my timebanks and got a pay jump out of it. No one seemed to mind and evryone understood the logic

    @MrRondonmon 9 місяців тому +2

    Only two reasons make sense really, if you raise with lets say 44 and you get 3 or 4 all-ins and pay jumps would be worth a fold you gave that option. Secondly, I was doing this at live poker tournaments 20 years ago. People in the bb or sb could be talking, drinking etc. and if you go all-in from lets sat the cutoff or high-jack, its ANNOUNCED and a sb or bb might says, well its only so much more, I got pot odds to call, if the blinds are 3k and I got 10 k and I rase 9 K And they are not paying attention, they might fold, when pot odds says call with any two cards. But if the see a 3x raise, and "think" they might face a bigger bet on the flop if the call, they will just fold, maybe. I actually had some jack azz on the button who folded, then announced you guys might as well call he's only got one chip left, well I won anyway, then doubled twice, had a good comeback going, table breaks, FIRST HAND I get QQ, I bet, get raised, the shove, and he had AK and hit K on river. Should have just called the reraise and shoved the flop, lol.

      Yes. You push almost-all-in with A9, the observant button pushes all-in for more chips... And then the big blind re-shoves for even more chips. Your few remaining chips might be better saved than pushed, if an elimination of someone else will increase the payout for the following elimination. Analyzing this situation is one purpose of this video.
      If you are heads-up, then you'll always call off the remaining chips, or bet them yourself; that puts you in the same position as if you had gone all-in in the first place.

That is definitely beneficial… and you’re wrong about the backing in. It is safer to back first when you start from in the road and see where you’re backing immediately. Backing after leaves more time for something to get behind you and you often can’t see what’s coming down the road. Tons and tons of accidents happen from backing out of a parking spot. Almost all of them would have been avoided if they had backed in first.
