130mb for the WMV isn't that big when it's 2-tabling 1600x600 at full resolution, unless you're on a 2400 baud modem.

Quick question about 32 minutes in: FWF raises AJo UTG and gets 3bet by a loose player in the HJ, and then check raises and bets out all the way on KAK89 3 flush board, and then gets raised on the river. DD says folding a lot here is dangerous, is this because of the pocket pairs and over cards like QJ/QT/JT with one or no clubs that wiffed that FWF is beating? I'm thinking that FWF is crushed here a lot given how passive postflop this guy is or am I too much of a nit?

It's because the pot is big and we beat a lot of Ax hands that might "wait til the river". That and the occasional bluff raise as well as the poor meta game of looking like we had a bluff here, but mostly the pot size.

Around 19 min in, on the left table, FF flops a set of tens and hits his boat on the turn. The button folds to a bet. As I was watching, I thought he should check the turn, either hoping for a c/r or hoping his opponent catches 2nd best hand and bets the river, or even inducing a bluff.

Given that board, it's more likely the button will fold the turn than call down.

Am I being too tricky?

I think in general one thing higher stakes players hate to do after the flop is fold. They are more TAG preflop but more stubborn postflop in a lot of ways, I don't mind erring on the side of betting ever.
