Very nice video, I have a similar style, except for some things and I'd like your thoughts about it:
- I'm not even tempted to raise the limpers from the BB with 42o or 82o (you didn't raise with 82o, but it seemed you were thinking about it), but I would always isolate a limper with Q3s on the button and you didn't. Some other spots like that appeared in the video and I would like to know why you prefer opening any2 in BB versus a limp + caller instead of opening Q3s, Kx type of hands against one limper in position?
- The other hand I play differently is when you raise the 66 in CO against the MP opener. I would just call and hope some others call behind. But I also liked your raise and I'm going to experiment with that. What are your thoughts about this? Would you 3b any PP against any player that opens in MP or in what circumstances do you think 3b a PP (low, medium, high) >> calling a PP?
Looking forward to some answers and your next vid!

I hate to come into other coaches threads and make comments that aren't addressed to me, but I don't think 3-betting small pocket pairs IP is nearly ever a good idea. If you are worried about implied odds vs. a wide-ish range, don't be. You can outplay people postflop with position, easily making up for the times that you miss the set.
Plus hitting sets is fucking awesome.

When on the button with small pocket pairs i generally call when MP open raises but 3bet if the CO open raises as i dont feel i have the implied odds for set mining.
Would you agree with any of that?

Youre not setmining. Think about it...when his range isnt strong enough to setmine,u should be able to make all sorts of stuff in position postflop to get him off his hand,ducy ?

I think he decided to 3bet the PP IP because the villain was a little over a half stack.
