Hey everyone, small error in the PokerStove analysis, we forgot to plug in the board.
With the board plugged in - J9 is actually doing very well: 51% favorite:

Any reason you excluded QJ?
Basic User
+ if you include some mid ppairs in his range I don't think you can exclude pre flop trap with overpairs to the board. But in general in this spot I think ppl are tend to shove their TT-88 pre way more often than to flat pre.
Imo it's little more like all top pairs/two pair +, nut straight and AJ/KJ.

I thought the range you gave Andrew in that spot with the AQcc was very wide. Is he really 3bet jamming that wide there? I would have given like 99+ AQs+ AKo. In which case AQs is in terrible shape.
Basic User
Nice video guys, can't wait for the next one!
As for the AQs hand, I agree the range given in the video might have been a little wide, but he's never folding 77 or AJs there knowing dantes is an aggressive reg. It may well be wider, but vs the following range we have 43% equity which makes it pretty close, but i think the value of knocking out a strong player directly on our left and having a big stack in the million approaching the bubble probably tilts it more towards a call:
Hand 0: 43.269% 36.78% 06.49% 173832720 30656502.00 { AQs }
Hand 1: 56.731% 50.24% 06.49% 237450180 30656502.00 { 77+, AJs+, KQs, AQo+ }

I go by Dantes on this one.

Hmm... I dont really know the player AndrewBoccia, but I doubt there is a lot of good players that will 3bet push all in 22 big blind stack from MP2 on Mp1 raise so widely as Dantes said... Theres is still 5 opponents left to act. So Id give him the same range as Scooby did (AQ+, and maybe 88+).So I think the call w AQs was too loose to risk with 2/3 of the stack!

You're very possibly right. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember table dynamics and such. There are certainly spots where he would be correct to shove a range that I am happily calling (blinds not defending enough and me raising a ton for instance). I agree that by default AQ is a fold to good, tight player's ep 22bb 3b shove.
