How do they organise their collection? Are they about 1hr vids on a specific aspect of tournaments?
their forums are really good, at least a couple of the pros post in there regularly, and there is very little flaming.
the organisation of their videos could be better, but basically they have lots of different types of videos, including live sweats, hand history reviews, reviews of other people's games, blind sweat where they just watch a final table without knowing hole cards, and theory, like the theory of 3bet shoving.
all vids are pretty much an hour long, but most of the videos take 3 hours or more so they split it up into parts. they cover stakes from $2r, right up to the sunday million and higher.
here is the video list, pretty cumbersome atm, i think they are in the process of changing it

when people are deepstacked, they usually see pfft min raise and just call anyway, but late in the tourney it works the same i have found.

Maybe things have changed abit as I havent played them for a while, but I remember not being able to get some people off a flush draw with an 80bb turn shove!
actually, thinking of it now, NO raise size gets respect but you can pretty much never get the BB to fold to a min raise.
i have found something like 2.2x is good, because they treat it the same as a 4x raise. but by raising smaller you can steal lighter, play more small pots in position, and generally pot control better.
this is why i like the small raise sizes a lot now, and i think it has helped my game a lot.
