thanks ghost, I am getting used to the concept of actually paying attention to board textures, this was really helpful. Also enjoyed the overbetting discussion in the As2s hand. If you can put your opponent on a flush specifically there, do you think it is okay to just shove that river or is the slight overbet the most profitable play there?

Very solid. Like the unfussy, gentle style of play.

While I think he can have a flush, I don't think it's enough of his range to justify a shove with those stacks.

Pokerstars thinks that it's midstakes, it's under the midstakes tab. But personally I think 1/2 is still small stakes, 2/4-5/10 is midstakes.

When you have KQ and just call his $20 bet on the river, I think that is a clear spot to CRAI. You have to ask yourself if he's ever betting so small with a big hand. If he had a 3 or something he would undoubtedly just shove. It really doesn't make sense for him to have you beat, so once you check you should just put him in and hope he calls with his ten, or his weak king, thinking YOU are trying a desparation bluff

Around the 26-minute mark, DeepMindz raises utg and you call from the bb with 33, and it gets checked down. You are super deep with him here, like 365 bb's. Should you be more likely to stab at that pot on the turn and/or river, since he is a thinking player and will be wary of getting too involved with those stacks? If he had a big hand I don't think he would've checked the flop behind because you can't afford to miss a street of value when you're that deep. I might be way off though, just a thought I had when I was watching the hand.

I think crai there is fine. I tend to think it's not clear because we don't have reads but in general I would agree that he's calling anything he's vbetting there that's worse.

I wouldn't think the stacks there should affect our bluffing frequency since we don't have the ability to really use any of the depth unless we overbet huge

Around ~18 minutes, you play that KQ pot vs. the swedish juiceball. You check the river to him, which I definitely approve. However, when he bets $20, shouldn't this be a shove almost always? Considering that you crush his range and he is so committed, isn't it reasonable to think that he might call worse hands considering he's getting a gazillion-1 if you shove?
When I look at the hand, the river leaves me thinking you're missing a ton of value. He has like $60 behind, and the pot will be like ~$260 if you shove. That gives him like 4,5-1 pot odds or something, and he might come up with some dumb excuse to call. You say you assume he is a live one, and those people will make up excuses to call.
Do you agree?
