DeathDonkey watches a video recording from a student playing 30/60 and 50/100 limit and provides audio commentary. DeathDonkey focuses his analysis on dealing with dangerous and hyper aggressive opponents, playing a LAG style, and finding ways to possibly reduce aggression in a notoriously aggressive game.

). I really see some good points in checking more turns, and trying to induce more bluffs from your opponents. My problem has like flatuentfox been the exact same, regarding too many tough turn situations, getting check raised due to the extremely high both pre and postflop aggression. You made me think in different ways regarding aggression, with the commentary and reviewing situations.
Very interesting video. The style flatuentfox plays is like 110% similar to mine. I play everything form 5/10 to 50/100 slight underrolled for the bigger stakes, but yet making the most money there(positive variance
Players like me and Flatuentfox likes to control the pot, and maybe on occasions like to appear the strongest in our own minds, like in the 77preflop CAP bet - which clearly is a huge leak.
Definetly worth booking a session with you in the near future.

great stuff DD
one hand I think deserves more discussion
57:30 in on the top table
33/22/2.5 opens UTG, 67/24/2 cold calls OTB, FF 3bets 99 from the BB, both call
flop T73r
FF bets, UTG raises, button 3bets, FF caps
how do you feel about that flop play? it seems unlikely that UTG will fold anything that FF wants him to after putting in 2 bets already. if I was to continue in this hand I would rather call. this way we can see if UTG likes his hand enough to cap and also put ourself in a position to put in a protection c/r on the turn if we still feel we are best, or at least avoid it going bet-raise on the turn

Suggestion: Please keep the screens to widescreen (side by side). Having the screens stacked vertically is a bit difficult to view. Thanks.

FounderNick I agree with you about the 99 hand, I think a call is better than a cap there and a fold should strongly be considered.
Parabolic, thanks for the feedback and will do, the coaching videos are recorded initially by the student so its not always under my direct control and I didn't want to waste some really interesting hands from this vid, but will strive to keep the 2 tabling videos side by side.

DD...from a teaching stand point. How you would beat(exploit) FF would be instructive.
FF...
You bob and weave well, put I think you can do even better.
I have played a style like you have, only at a much lower limit.
You seem to have one line....Raise, bet, bet...ussually bet.
I think this leaves you too AGG, too predictable.
Its a good default line in shorthanded limit.
It puts maximum pressure on our opponents, and we dont need to read flops, hands, opponents playing styles well, cause lots of times they dont have a hand to SD.
But once the "TABLE SD percentage" goes up, this line loses its punch.
You ARE hard to read because your bets tell us nothing, and your PF range is wide.
I think you need to change up your style during each session, vs the thinking players.
or At least once you realize your opponent(s) have adjusted to our near maniacal attack.
The "bad player" on the top table did adjust to you.
Once you noticed his adjustment, you need to re-adjust to his new style.
Ex...late in the session he c/r you on turn...he had a hand FOR SURE.
Your normal aggresive style will win you many pots with crap.
but your constant 100% turn c-bet leaves you open to a c/r.(or a call/donk)
at first(maybe twice) this c/r will be a made hand,
the third time...it might be air, because I noticed you are capable of folding occasionally.
This line vs your aggression, now has YOU guessing.
We want the opponent playing in a predictable fashion.
We want the opponent guessing, and making mistakes.
Your aggression accomplishes this, BUT ONLY UNTIL THEY READ YOU.
then you gotta switch it up on em.
Betting.....What will they fold? a fold equity bet
We have the best hand? a value bet...
if they won't fold anything, and our hand value is debatable, a check is to be considered.

Absolution
About the 88 hand in the CO. I agree that he should just call pre-flop. I'd rather balance that play by calling the top end of my range instead of capping the bottom end. I'm not sure he can just give up, even on a JhKh3d board in these games. I would suspect that this is a standard 3-betting range for the button after an aggressive CO opens:
55+,A7s+,K9s+,QTs+,JTs,A9o+,KTo+,QJo
He has 36% equity on that flop in a big pot now. You mentioned the ROI and that's true. I think I would be seeing the river at least in that hand with that pair. I'm not sure if he can use a call call fold line in these games since the aggression seems to be so high, but I think I would have called pre-flop and then took a call and re-evaluate every street line. That might make his hand too transparent though in these games against tough opponents. I'd be folding to any card T and above. The way he played it there's a good chance he folded the best hand in an even bigger pot. The ranges don't change much and the button could raise the flop with a big range, hoping to fold out a pair.
