Hi there Cardschat community! I've been studying some aspects of the 2 NLHE and I want to share with everyone.
The basis for this study was the Polished Poker Vol 1, by John Anhalt: https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cash-games-11/polished-poker-vol-i-study-group-227214//index125.html
Let's begin this adventure, if is in your interest to learn how to beat the field of 2 NLHE of pokerstars.
All of the hands listed above where not played by me or friends of mine.
All of the hands listed above where played today, February 15th of 2020.
Hand # 1
UTG is a Soot player, which means it likes to pursuit any flush from any position. In this case we see this player open raises 4s2s from UTG, calling a huge check-raise flop with two spades on it, call a large 2/3 pot when it comes a Queen of clubs in the turn and, finally, when it comes a 5s on the river the UTG player donks all-in! Look what the player in the MP had:

Hand # 2
MP cold calls 3-bet from the BTN: Button sends 1/3 pot in a dry flop J2J, then 2/3 pots on the 3h/Turn and bets nearly the pot when river comes a Qs. For a 200 bb pot MP and BTN players had?

Hand # 3
BTN vs BB, bad beat or bad play? Can we avoid situations like this? How?

Hand # 4
BB 3-bets light versus BTN and get calls from BTN and SB deep stacked. BB sends a 2/3 pot bet in a drawie flop, and the BTN calls!! SB folds. In the Turn comes an Ace of Spades and the player in the BTN raises JAM and BB calls.
This hand is almost the opposite of the previous hand (Hand 4), however it seems a cooler. Would you raise your monsters in position in a turn like this too?

Hand # 5
Recreational player in the MP Cold 3-bets versus UTG and Cold Call 4-bet out of position with a very.... (???)

Hand # 6
War of aces: UTG x CO What did the player of CO did anyways? Does anyone fold a straight in a river that brings a flush?

Hand # 7
CO cold call 3-bet versus BTN checks flop and jam river. With the Nuts? In the Button is this an easy call?

MP x BB Deep Stacked pot. Why playing at the micros is so profitable:
