[broken link~tb]

I've decided that I can't play while trying to talk at the same time. Anyway, see if you can spot my deliberate mistakes :D

Another very funny and fine vid by Cafeman. Not a lot at all I found wrong with your play realy. Every thing below is nit picking.

9:45 AJs I fold pre OOP vs the “nit”
10:15 you fold A9 in a unopened pot in the CO - raise
10:50 you 4bet the BTN from the CO with AQ not all that bad 4bet size could be smaller 10.50 or so.Sence you are folding to shove. But 4betting in general I don’t like a depolarized range.
15:10 A4o in the CO in a unopened pot you fold with a fish in the bb –raise
16:55 ahh the K10 hand preflop on the BTN I like either 3bet of fold I don’t like the call.As the double barrel goes I liked it.
19:20 shout out to me I’m a Boss ;)
20:00 AK I cbet the flop there prob like 75% of time for the reasons you said like a lot of his range is small to mid pp’s
23:40 A9o you don’t cbet a J56 two toned bored –I cbet
24:25 34o on the BTN with 1 nits and 1 tight reg in the blinds –I steal
28:15 57o on the BTN unopened pot two players that don’t 3bet in the blinds –I steal
29:30 AJs I’m realy not sure if I like the 3bet or not so ????????

During the whole vid you seem to blind steal from the BTN 3x then min raise with no real reason why you do one or the other.???

I think your sizing is slightly off in spots. I don't mind the min-raising at all, especially with micro stacks after you.

but

1. Minraising then bombing a really dry board (Q99r) for pot makes no sense. When a reg flats a minraise they obviously have a weak range, you need to "extract value" from that weak range, not scare it off (I realize you had nothing but you know what I'm saying).
2. I'd go 4x SB vs. BB not 3x
3. 3-betting to $4.50 from BB vs. BTN's $1.25 open seems slightly biggish I think you can go $4
4. As JB mentioned, I'd for sure 4-bet smaller in the AQ hand, $10-$11 should be enough, it's pretty important should he do something like flat and you have to play a flop.

AJs hand vs. nit: Not sure how I feel about pre, I think flatting is fine vs. most people but I think I like a squeeze or fold really. Even a 13/8 is going to be slightly wider OTB and you've got dead money in there already.

As played you should VB the river, I mean c'mon, he doesn't have AK.

Although I've started concentrating on PLO I can't wait to give this a watch. It's probably the same old "ohh I've got a pocket pair, oohhhh i've hit a set" kind of thing though.

bet sizing is kinda off in some spots I agree
BTN stealing size 2 or 2.5x should be your standart with 2 regs in blinds if they are 3bet happy but tbh from my experience there isnt much 3b/4b game over at .FR is there?

k2s why do you 3b? I also make it 5
J8s - I probs cbet a little smaller to 2
JTo - Open
35s - just fold , bet smaller to give yourself a better price on the double, small continuing range so smaller bluff price on ze turn
39s - fold BTN too loose vs 2 stations where your gunna end up multi way
T6o - fold pre, as played whats your plan for turns and river?
AJs - flat because you want to play a pot with the fish or squeeze to ISO the fish, note he opens ATo UTG and pot controls A high as then you wont miss value on rivers in future
j9s - bet like 3.5 or 4
KTs - should be a standart flat vs a fish IP who is terrible and we can pwn him postflop - rude not to have a stab haha but yeah i dont mind as we have back door hearts
AK - I sometimes fire turn to get him to fold small pairs like you mentioned , make the 3bet bigger for value next time if hes never folded
A3o steal
AJs - whats his fold to 3b? you whiff yeah but you get more value when we hit plus we can c/r bluffs or FDs, think you lose value if his fold to 3b is high

I thought teh AJs hand the nit opened from BTN? If he opened UTG I'd just snap fold, snap fold vs. most people really.

I don't mind the KTs hand at all except maybe I'd bet less on the turn and triple barrel unless you have a read that he's a huge station; his range is pretty much face up as a 1-pair hand or draw.

3-betting K2s -- seems standard/fine to me.
