I agreed with most of your play, but I felt you missed some opportunities to steal here and there. It's not the best example, but at 13:05 where SB completes and you have T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in BB and the flop comes Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], I would definitely consider making a small bet after he checks to you. His check indicates he doesn't have a Q, and most of the time he doesn't have a heart and will just snapfold. He'll frequently fold a low pair or weak heart too, after all he is OOP and in RIO city. Very often he will lay down a hand like A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] which had you crushed. These sorts of situations are great, because the hand ranges often resemble HU but most people play fit-or-fold like it's full-ring.

Also, if you complete from the SB and he checks, remember that he now has a worse than average hand... Against many players I'd lead out with ace-high when I miss the flop expecting to have the best hand.

If you do this a lot, people see that you are betting liberally and will give you more action. Particularly if you show down a failed steal for a couple of big blinds, people will really take it to heart and often call off huge bets later because they now have a 'sick read' on you.
