Default Video50nl- Please review my play

I don't know if this is the correct place to post videos, so point me to the correct forum or place.

Anyway, I made a 30 min video 29mb. Site is Rio Party Casino. So you guys can find any leaks in my game and give me advice on how to improve.

*I play a bit tighter and passive in this site because players don't respect pfr and cbets.

* I will appreciate constructive criticism

Hey,
Thanks for posting a video, they're always fun to watch.

Some remarks:

You played your first hand (bottom two pair) well, and basically got max value on 3 streets by sizing your bets effectively.

Around minute 5:00, you folded 78s UTG. I would raise there, and you might want to try mixing up your early position raises, but I totally understand the merits of mucking, of course.

Around minute 7:00, someone posts out of position and you're dealt A7s in the cut-off and choose to limp behind. Others may disagree, but I really think that making it ~$2.50 is the best play unless there are some really unusual table dynamics. You isolate the poster, possibly take down the blinds / his dead money, start building a pot in position that you can stab at with a c-bet / draw / or whatever. So many benefits to raising there.

Around minute 7:45, you say something that confuses me: 'I have about $106.' Is that your total bankroll on that site? Why are you playing 50NL with just two buy-ins? Do you have 10-20 more buy-ins you're ready to deposit when any form of variance kicks in? I'm just perplexed by your bankroll situation, or I misunderstood what you were saying.

Minute 12, your TT hand, was pretty standard. Checking and betting the turn are both fine (I default to the first unless I have a read that my opponent is quite the station.) And you must fold to the river overbet, I think. Anything else would be heroic and require a sick read.

Minute ~18, when you have AA UTG and SB min-re-raises you to $3.40, I would make it $10 rather than $7.70, or maybe even push all in. You want as much money as possible preflop from JJ-KK and AK because many of these hands will freeze if the flop contains an over-card, or if they miss. So charge the maximum pf (either all in, or $10 if you really think that a push will fold everything but KK+). With more history between you and an opponent (bluffing, re-raising light, etc.) you can try things like calling the min-raise, (check-)raising the flop all-in, and so on.

Minute ~25, you have A10o UTG and open, which is totally fine. When the gut-shot chaser calls and you flop TPTK, you fire the pot a little small. The turn bet is good. The river completes the flush draw and brings a higher card. An option to consider here is betting roughly 1/2 pot, then folding to a raise, but there are many problems with this play. I'm just mentioning it as an occasional alternative. I think your river check was best against this guy. When he bets pot in response, you really need a read to call. Readless, I assume he's much more likely to have rivered you than to have decided to double-float bluff you, or turn a weaker Ten into a bluff.

Overall, you seem to know what you're doing. I just hope you start buying in for the max rather than 80BB, and a proper bankroll would permit that.

thanks for the comment, I agree with a lot of what you say. Watching the video myself made me see from an observer point of view some of my leaks.

My responses to your comments are:
1. I love 87s but for MP and later position , but will try to add it to my UTG raises from time to time
2. A7s I almost always raise an oop poster but I wasnt paying attention and thought he just limped in , again I would raise a utg limper w a7s if i was CO or BTN not UTG+1, just my style
3. I have a proper bankroll for 50nl in fact I'm taking a shot at 100nl right now, what I meant was that its a fishy site and made 106$ first 10 minutes playing there
4. I agree w raising more on the AA hand, messed up there
5. I also agree with betting more on the flop on the ATo hand
