OH HAISTAKES

Bottom left: So youre into coldcalling with your entire range in this spot, even multiway? Please explain to me why
Also, say the button folds to the turn donk, are you taking one more card off with AQ then?

Again lower left, isnt this turncard a good spot to balance our range with a checkraise? This board is getting floated on every single time by a somewhat competent player, and he will probably bet to protect his entire pair/ace high range because thats just what people do. Sure you miss out on one bet the times he has a strong 8 or a turned Q, but still.

I'm not sure I understand isolating vs a loose passive fish oop with 67 here. We gain the initiative but don't have position or a strong hand. Is this a winning play in the long run?
As a whole different question, wouldn't the fact that he's short and almost surely going to all in spew make this even worse of a spot to try this. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, I just haven't played this high and it's all way over my head I guess. The highest I've played is 3/6 6max.
Great vid, I hope you do more of these 4 tabling ones!

What percent of the time would you c/r here Psycho? I occasionally do it too, maybe 25%, depending on their agg fact of course. A player with agg fact less than 2.0 I'd never c/r, there's no guarantee they'll bet it for you then.

I find eMeDo's play here pretty terrible. His raise utg is ok if he's balancing I guess...., his flop peel is very optimistic, his turn raise is not going to shake A hi's so pretty bad IMO especially vs your probable range here, and his river raise is equally horrible for the same reason. Am I wrong?

Depending on how villain plays against my checks, this is a spot where id be happy to checkraise atleast half of the time, opponent based ofcourse.

Youre mostly right, i`d peel his hand if i was last to act or it was a headsup pot. However, his turn and river plays are both horrendous and clearly not ever going to get folds.
Just wanna point out this is my last online action ever.

Well I'm not moving out of the country. I'll certainly play again when/if it becomes possible to play again.

Not even a temp move to Canada or something? What are your plans for the meantime?

canada is pretty this time of year.
good video OTR.
You made a couple of marginal peels based on having bdfd... how big of a difference does that make in your decision to call/fold? like, in relation to other factors (reads, game flow, etc)
I add about 2-3% equity based on bdfd. So if its on the border with no bdfd I am probably folding those and calling when I have a bdfd
I was extremely excited to see this because I always wanted to 4 table live, then I saw it was for internet donks. Very disappointed.

me too, I thought it was gonna be an ahead of the curve guide to positioning yourself to buy into 4 different cash games at the local card room. That's what I really need now....

This is referring to the AQs hand at about 1:40.
I was wondering about this as well. I, personally feel that it is much better to merely call when hu but when the pot is mw preflop I tend to put in the cap with 100% of my playing range. Could you please explain why the deception/balancing aspects of calling with your entire range outweighs the value of putting in the cap with all the hands you wish to play? Is it because it allows you to play a wider range of hands (including hands like JTs, etc. that you would otherwise not play if you were to cap your entire range?).
