    At 43 mins in the top right you talk about turning 9x into a bluff but value betting Tx. Something doesn't seem right because if you value bet Tx you assume he calls with enough worse hands to make it good, but if that's the case what hands are you bluffing him off with K9? There doesn't seem to be enough hands in between. Can you elaborate because maybe I misunderstood? Great video though, loved it. Thanks.

    I always look forward to your videos. Question from ~12:00 mark. You 3b JJ and crai on 6h 9c Tc. Early in a match, what would your game plan be on this board with hands such as 6-7, 7-9, or KQ. Thanks!

    Why is sauce playing you at these stakes? Fascinating vid, but one can't help but be suspicious.

    Great video as always! At 49:50 you barrel the turn with huge sizing w basicly the nuts. Aren't you conserned about being unbalanced here against this good of a opponent? I don't see why would we wanna bluff with this sizing because (just like you mentioned yourself) he's folding 6x and random flouts to a smaller sizing anyway. Thanks.

    When Sauce wins the hand with 82hh you say something to the effect of "it is going to be hard for him to show up with flushes in 3bet pots... the only hands he can make flushes with now are the hands he is 3betting for value" due to the fact that he just flatted pre. With someone at his caliber of making adjustments, don't you think he will realize "hey I just showed down 82hh so now I need to start 3betting these type of hands?" Or do you think his overall gameplan is pretty static with regards to suited hands.

    " turning K9 into a bluff " on T8x 9 8 i just laughed at that I think you missunderstand basic hu concept to think about turning that hand into a bluff, you just have 0% fold equity on better hands than K9. there were other similar spots in which what you were thinking was a bit weird, Moreover, even if it's interesting because the dynamic etc etc, i don't like vidéos in which you just catch the nuts every single hand. playing big pots with nuts isn't interesting, playing tough ones is and in tough spots you made pretty quick folds in which at least considering and thinking about calling wasnt shocking. i don't want to be rude, im just telling what i think about it and it might be a good feedback for youre future vid

    @fatboi @WATCHTHEEE

    Just briefly considered it since the 8d is a card much better for my range (which is why he checked 76, expecting me to realize this). Ultimately this hand will win enough at sd to check back but it's important to consider all our options. 

    @RMPKBF

    Thanks and good q, can't have a default strategy vs all players but based on my preflop assumptions about him I'd lean towards cr semibluff 67, ck/call 97, cbet QK. Could be convinced otherwise for either of these hands though, think c/r ck/call and cbet are very close for all 3 hands. 

    @Nabsuu

    My turn betsize is standardized given texture/stacks with the hands I'd like to valuebet and semibluff with, both of which are not many combos. Also, I think he's less likely to fold 6x and some of the better-equity floats to a smaller bet given immediate pot odds and without the threat of a big river bet. 

    @EZGAME

    He's defending these suited hands for mathematical reasons and I don't expect he'll deviate much from this pf strategy until I give him a reason to (ie if I were to stop opening 100% or 3xing).
