See no one else has tried to answer, figure ill give it a go.
Couple things of note out of all these hands, Barry's primary game is high end CASH games, which alters the way he would approach something that a strictly TOURNAMENT player would do differently for different reasons. Hands he has listed also play much different with different reads and against different villains.
hand3:
First I see him planning for a check-raise, he doesn't say anywhere that he is going to make an AI raise? not sure where your getting that from. He mentions he will make a sizeable raise, like if Hansen cbets for 30k, Barry might make it 90k. And yes if Gus shoves over the top he is probably folding it on this board, but there are a lot of factors that go into it, Gus is a smart player, he knows how the texture of this flop is and how likely it could hit a range, for him to shove over a raise he has to have a monster draw/monster hand. 79s is definitely in Gus's Range.
River: the part here about betting is part value, part defensive bet. Remember this hand is against a world class player, a board like this for him to raise your bet he would most likely have a monster hand. If we check, possible he could bluff here, but I doubt it, most likely he is betting for value with any 8/T, checking a straight smaller flush, etc that we could get value for, so its better to bet the river IN THIS SPECIFIC INSTANCE.
HAND4:
This hand and thought process behind it goes with a player at the table he has a VERY good read on. Don't recommend you try to emulate this without a lot of experience behind your belt. Folding medium set in a tourney with 40 effective big blinds is typically a recipe for disaster.
HAND5: Again this goes down to a good read on villain that he is capable to fold tpgk 50BB deep. Also yes it is kind of unfortunate if we bluff and he has a set here, which isn't nearly as likely as his other holdings that we believe he called flop with. Plus another benefit here is its HIS tourney life at stake not ours. Villain specific, but under the right circumstances think that this is a smart move here.
hand9....
am I missing something only see hands 1-8 here?
Hope this helps, obviously I am not anywhere close to being able to play at Barry's thinking level, so take my advice for what its worth

As mentioned, in case of check-raise on the flop-
first- the raise has to be all-in?
if not, and the opp re-raise, is there a reason to call or to go all in? or its depand on the raise and the re-raise amounth?
