Hey, cool vid. Appreciate it, bro. Couple questions i had toward the beginning:

1) The hand where you check raised the turn w/ AJ and got called all in by k8 - sweet! How often are you making this play? You said that you had a strong feeling that he was floating - why did you think that? (there was a hand right before this where he floated and then bet when you checked to him- maybe this was the reason- but is this really enough?). Also, board was pretty drawy. I guess you are pricing the draws out and causing them to make a mistake if he calls. Anyway, just curious how and often and when in particular it is good to make plays like this- is it a regular play that you might make several times an hour, or pretty rare?

2) A couple hands after that you have a4o or something, and bet in position on a k22 flop. This makes sense. You get called by who I think was the same guy who made the k8 call. Yet you still fire big on turn unimproved- why would you make this play against this guy, who will call w/ king hi? (maybe you didnt realize it was same player, or maybe i am wrong [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ).

3) A bit later you have A6 on a 3 6 7 board and get checkraised. You ponder calling for awhile, and then fold, noticing that he only has like $20 left. Why does this dissuade you from calling? I am new to NL, but in limit, people seem more inclined to go in light when they are short.

4) You see a nit raise 10-9 utg, and comment on his lack of positional understanding. How light will you open utg? I know in limit, kjo is kind of borderline and controversial. Will you raise that? How about 8-9s? (i assume his 10-9 was offsuit).


Well, got a few minutes left to watch. Appreciate the effort. Will try to find the first two as well.
