[The Eureka Kid]

Good laydown with the 65 trips against small blind donk then threebet. Interesting to see your 'adaptation of smash' style at some points, not how I like to play, but I like that you talk about table stats and limping big pairs in EP as well. Do you ever limp behind with big pairs at an action table?

I don't mind open folding AJo and maybe even AJs in EP. But AQ in EP I like to be raising, sure you get into some tough spots post-flop, but the rewards are in being less predictable raising in EP. Maybe if you are raising small pairs/suited connectors in EP they can be a substitute, but atm if I see a raise from you UTG I'm pretty set on your range AK, AA-JJ. Same deal with the 99 utg, sounds like you know you are going to get heat though. You spoke of increasing variance (I think check raising flush draws might create more varaince than this btw), but really you are 9-12 tabling, shouldn't bee too much of a concern.

There was one hand where there was a mid to late position raise from a (35/4.8) and you were the only caller out of the BB with ATs. In general though I don't like calling raises out of position with these types of marginal hands against players with this sort of pfr range, they are going to have you dominated a lot + position.

AK hand, I would have looked at the guys aggression factor post-flop... 4.8 (although small sample). He donk leads at for less than half the pot, folding feels so weak and wrong, raising is kind of kamikaze on that board, I take a turn card and re-assess.

I'm guilty of this myself a lot, but I find not tracking how you are running profit wise for the session to be +EV hehe. It seems like with a few things you are inhibited/worried by your bankroll, so won't judge you too harshly on being cautious.

Three-betting pre-flop? Didn't see a lot of it. One hand where I feel you could have, you have TT in the BB facing a raise from the CO+1 (30/13/5.0). That's the kind of spot where I like to three-bet. Obviously, I'd prefer to be doing it in position, but from what I saw of your play with pocket pairs I'm not sure you would have even in position. It just makes it so easy to play against when you do actually three-bet your bigger hands. Eek, just saw you flat call QQ in the BB facing MtoLP raise from 15/8/5.25. Embrace the three-bet! When you flat call these hands you just leave yourself in tough spots post flop, to me if you have the aggression you get outplayed less and make others make mistakes, instead of you, which is the essence of poker.

AJ hand, by checking the flop you just leave yourself open to being outplayed so much more. C-bet the flop, if he raises then your decision is so much easier. it is so much easier to play hands, extract value and make good laydowns when you have the initiative.

You also got me thinking with the whole data-mining for an hour before your session. Might be a reason for me to head back to Full Tilt =)

Overall, pretty awesome video. Love your thinking out loud and talking to yourself. I picked up a lot of useful info, thanks for sharing it!
