You probably have these heads-up MTT leaks

In this video, we review a heads-up match Barry played at the end of a tournament. By his own admission, he has done no study in heads-up, which is a mistake because when you get heads-up it is the highest equity spot you will ever find yourself in. A small improvement in your heads-up game could reap dividends for your bankroll.
In this video we see a lot of heads-up leaks and discuss:
*Why you are probably playing too tight heads-up
*How to play against passive opponents
*GTO heads-up ranges
*Bet sizing strategies
*How thin should you value bet heads-up?

great video I really enjoyed it. I'd like to see a video on how to play shallow stacks 5--15bb turboish structure where under 15 is average stack. How we adjust ranges to different stacks behind and any exploits that can be gained. I feel it's the weakest part of my game where I can't gain an edge and feel most vulnerable. When we should play shove only etc or if we can exploit open/limp off shallow stacks. Then maybe a second video on the same topic ICM related

Thanks for the new videos lads. Could ye possibly do a video on study plans for recreational players? Im trying to take my game more seriously, reading daras/barrys books, modern poker theory etc and have begun studying preflop ranges. I definitely feel im more active than the recs I play with already from what I have learned so far. It can be a bit overwhelming at times on what to study though and how to study effectively. I would appreciate it if ye could give some pointers on this before I sign up to Jaka coaching. 😂

A new book in horizon?

[@BarryDara]

We have discussed HU as a book subject, but our next one is on exploits (out this month) and the one after that is on a super secret topic nobody has ever done before. So HU would be in 2025 if we did it
