Some people here have been saying how awesome some of Gripsed's free videos are for learning poker, so I thought I would try one out.
I don't know if cash games have different starting hand ranges to MTTs, but in the first Gripsed video that I watched he shows tier 1 hands as being:
AA KK QQ JJ AKs AQs AJs ATs KQs
I haven't seen KQs appearing in any of the tournament books that I've read so far and ATs has generally not been treated as tier 1, yet he specifically says that you should be happy getting all of your money in with any of these hands.

I feel nervous shoving AKo and I probably wouldn't feel confident shoving KQs in the early stages of a tournament, unless it was desperate times and I had less than 10bb, for example.
Is he talking about cash games?
I agree Gripsed is awesome. Annoying or not it's a legit source.
