I rated this video 5 Stars.

As with most of the Leakfinders, it's very basic, but this one is packed full of solid advice and in-depth commentary.

It's geared towards novice players.

I did have a question:

@22:40 KQs. 15/30 Hero: 610 chips. Villain minraises. You say to 3B instead of shove. What 3B raise size do you suggest?

When I was viewing the video, I thought you might advocate a flat call, because (as you said) shoving only gets you called by stronger hands and folds out hands you have dominated, and if you simply 3B, you have created a huge pot OOP. How do you rate a flat call here?

Any 3B will create a huge pot OOP and it will be difficult to proceed if we miss the flop. The Villain is Tight-Passive, so if called and you miss the flop, how would you proceed?

Depending on stack sizes and blind size, you can 3bet enough to create a pot that leaves you with a PSB and we can shove on any flop since we're first to act. If you cannot do this effectively, such that stack sizes leave you with an awkward chip count and you're kind of in "no man's land" and can't cbet/fold or shove....flatting is a possibility and so is shoving vs the right opponent.
