Hi Skates,
In the video you said that you like to 3bet 1/6 th of effective stack if I understood correctly.
Is there another video where you explain the reason behind that in details?
Looser Vogel says:
Because then you can c-bet 1/2 pot and bet full pot on the turn. You only have to play 2 streets OOP and your shove on the turn isn't a overbet. Similiar to the Go'n Go where you raise/reraise to 1/3 of the shorter stack to shove postflop with a PSB on any flop.

I rated this video 4 Stars.
Skates goes 3B crazy in this 7 1/2 minute video. I have a notion that this is because the video is older and maybe this strategy would not be so wise in today's games, but I'm not sure.
