Table 4: Opening QJo from EP seems a little bit too loose? What kind of range do you generally like to open from EP?

Any reason for folding 22 vs EP open against a likely weaker player (assuming he does have a 85bb stack). Seems like you get reasonable implied odds? Saw you folding at 22:00 in exact same spot.

i think you should post-review a session of 2-tabling, or do live play 2-tabling, and then mix in some hh review sessions. 4 tables of zoom is just too frantic for me to follow even as a pro and coach. I noticed that today while watching Ansky's video and this one, I can only imagine for less experienced players and beginners trying to follow a four tabling zoom vid.

That said you seem to have a very aggressive and unconventional game, I look forward to the rest of the series whatever you go with!

Honestly, at these games I would probably start out ridiculously loose/agg preflop (playing something like I did in this vid 24/19) and then tone it down when I feel it's too much. Similar to how I discuss widening a stealing range. I took this approach to playing 6m and have found that I just never ended up saying to myself 'ok this is too much/loose' so I'm probably one of the loosest winning regs on 500 zoom 6m.

From EP usually AQo+, KQs+, 66+, some random A2-A5s, a few random mid/high suited connectors. That would be my standard range playing 400nl+. Playing this low I would probably start by opening much wider. Something like QJo+, any suited connector, any PP, alot of A2-A5s, mid/high suited 1 gappers. I think you can play really loose in these games and people don't adjust their 3betting ranges accordingly. They give too much credit to a loose player opening UTG because they are mostly nits that don't want to expose themselves to variance.

I generally don't flat alot of 66- pocket pairs unless I have good reads the opener is a drooler or there are absolutely no squeezers behind. If he has only 85bb it's all the more reason to fold.

Couldn't agree more.

not sure the small flop bet made sense since it left u with over a pot a size shove for turn?

I guess that if you are calling with J7s here, you will be calling with almost any suited K and a lot of suited Q as well, of course any SCs and most of suited one gappers? Also, does the fact that the open raiser made it only 2.5x is a reason for you to call wider here with better odds?

Another interesting spot

If you are flatting K9s here and as you mentionned, most suited K, I guess you will also include few suited Q (let's say Q8s+), of course any suited broadway and few suited one gappers (Let's say T8s+).

You'll find that I don't make any bets to 'set up stacks' as that is a flawed logic. If I think he'll only call x amount on the flop then I'll bet that. If I feel his range will call x amount on the turn (even if it's a 2 x pot overshove or something) then that is what I'll bet.

Always bet the maximum you think their range will call when value betting and the minimum you need to get their perceived range to fold when bluffing. Betting to set up stacks is just losing EV.

My over-calling range is usually super wide vs a small MP open and a CC from what is potentially a fish. People are just so ABC in multi-way pots (esp if fish involved) I feel very confident in my ability to outplay them post. If people don't feel the same way about their ability then they shouldn't over-call so light.

I don`t really like the min 4b with the aces, you`re giving him a great price to peel, and the smalish bet on the flop assuming your aces are invulnerable.
Also agreed with @goldseraph, you`re better off playing 2 tables with live comment, or post play review of 4+ tables.I know it gets hectic without the bigger time bank at these stakes.Looking forward to the rest of the series, you play an unusual, very interesting type of game, that i haven`t seen a lot, so should be defo interensting.

Sorry, I tought I marked the timeline, something might have gone wrong.

Anyway, here is the K9s I was talking about. Guess you are calling with the same reasons as for the J7s hand.
