    excellent!! Very good indeed.
    The last part, just remind me a video I would like to see, which is, when to call, fold, or 4bet when facing a 3bet….I have lots of trouble in these spots at low buy ins

    pretty good video, exploring the pos-flop edge mixed with protecting your stack when deep stacked seems to be pretty optimal for MTTs, loving this subscription more than life.

    13 minutes in…i like the 4 bet better…to maybe rep the open ender and get him to spew off with the aj…the turn slowed him down…and i dont see him getting away from it on the flop

    Last hand with the JJ vs 99 and AA too often I can find myself spewing post in this spot chasing the fd, nice thought process

    I have a couple of questions:

    1) In the hand where the villian limps and you have AQ oop, don’t you want to put in a raise there to get more money in the pot since your obviously ahead of his range.

    2) In the AQ vs 66 hand, is it that clear cut of a call vs a guy who is running a 6/6. Would it make it tougher if your stack was around 30-60bb? I would make the call also but I would pause for a second. Very good vid!

    nice vid. But cant you talk more when you actually lose a hand. Or when someone makes a move on you. Like the hand with JJ utg and flop is Q84. What do you do if someone calls on the flop? do you just check turn? what happens if they bet a small bet on the turn, a big bet?
    Allmost every hand here is “easy” to play, because you win them. Cant you explain more how you think when you get some pressure on you?

    I agree with mategott here, your examples really lack tough spots.
    What about with shallower stacks?
    Say 30 bb pre-ante, what are you doing with when facing an ep raise from an unknown player with JJ in HJ?
    Or 30 bb post-ante facing a mp raise from a tight player with AQo in sb?

    I don’t know the video gets such a high rating or people posting “excellent vid” as comment. This is probably the worst video on this site (and I usually love most vids here).

    I’m mean.. come one .. who needs a theory video on how to play AQ vs AJ on an A-high board? Or how to play AQ vs KQ on a xxQQ board. Or how about if the subscribers get explained how to play JJ when you flop top set?

    The reason why people have trouble playing AQ is because the flop comes Kxx and they are getting bet into .. or they raise JJ pre, get called and the board comes K-high with 20xbb effective stacks.

    In this whole video there are like 2 hands (the last ones) that are interesting spots. The rest are just coolers where you bet bet bet.

    Oh..and please don’t show villain’s hand 🙂

    Enjoyed it. Being now to using HUDs I find some of the references to the post flop tendancies of the villains oblique. A bit more explaination of how you have the HUD configured would likely clear that up. I would love to see some more vids on HUD use in the tools section. Thanks mwb

    Very good video and analysis but I disagree totally with the limp with AQ from the SB because :

    1) You let the BB come in the pot and you have to play a such strong hand 3 way OOP. So you play fit or fold.
    2) Yes it is an aggressive player but is very passive preflop and also is a fish. He will limp / call almost with everything he had limp including all the Ax, Qx, suited connectors, Kx etc. Also if he hit an A or a Q or something worse from our hand because he is a fish he will not care that much and lose his stack regardless the preflop, postflop action.
    3) You will be the prelfop aggressor and if we don’t hit we can represent a lot of hands. Also we can 2b and 3b bluff or thin value bet etc. We can do a lot of thinks in a lot of boards
    4)You make the pot bigger and you can stack him of easier.
    5)With limping you don’t know where you stand.Yes it is a fish and he 3bet the AJ on this board but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t have 79, 99, 77 A9, A7, AK and the matter is that the board is a bit of dry and there is not a lot of draws except T8, 68 etc. Of course he could have air but I don’t see a lot of bluffs. And the turn is the worse card for you. All this scenarios could be avoid it if you just raise preflop and play poker on the flop.
