I think you would be fine defending all of these hands against someone that min-raises basically every button. If I started to fold a bit more against his steals, it was because his steal % fell to about 80 which is drastically different than someone who steals 100%.
I usually don't defend any Kx hands below K5o but I can't say for certain defending K2o is bad. However, I will say I have a preference towards Ax and Kx hands against passive opponents who allow you to showdown your hands more often.

K5o sounds pretty reasonable. As a rule I dislike having any 2 in a defending hand but thats just me.

Hey Colms.
At one point during the video you talk about villains that don't value bet thinly, and how it leads to spots in which when they bet they either have a really strong hand or air. Not really sure how to formulate my question; I guess I'm trying to as you how do you approach these spots and what influences your decision to give them credit or put them on air and click "call".
I've noticed that against people similar to the vilain in this vid I might be overly cally, and that I give too much gravity to the number of combos he is repping and maybe not enough to the fact that he is not all that likely to bluff in that spot. I know I phrased it a bit clumsily, but I'd really like to to hear your thoughts on the subject.

It most affects spots where you are bluff catching. Basically I go through my normal hand reading thought processes, but when I start comparing what hands he could be bluffing with and what hand combos he could be value betting, I really ask myself how capable he is of betting the weaker value portion of his hands. If it's a spot where he doesn't expect to get called by worse very often, he will check back this weaker value range and his range will tilt more towards a bluffy range. Because it's influenced by so many factors, it's hard to say exactly what influences me to "click call". But it's a combo of the width of his air barreling ranges, how thinly he can bet for value, and how much fold equity I expect him to think he has.
One thing you always have to remember is some people just don't attempt to bluff all that often. Nitty players won't bluff in even some of the best 3 barreling spots, and players who are up usually bluff less also. There are more factors to hand reading than just understanding what ranges they get to each spot with. Game flow, player tendencies, and his perception of you in each spot is also very important.
