Hey, totally agree about being balanced. It's definitely advantageous to have some good board coverage when opening for early position so we can't just be constantly attacked on low/middling boards; rundowns and double paired hands can help with this. I think this hand is on the cusp; give it me ds and I'm opening 100%, likewise with 5678ds. I don't think it can be a big mistake opening or folding this specific holding though; in the HJ I'm more likely to open I think, but we can afford to play fairly tight UTG.
In really tough line ups, hands like 3456, 4567, maybe even 5678ds I would bin pre as we will often end up making more mediocre hands and draws which can be tough to deal with OOP. Again I feel like 6789 is right on the cusp; we will face a lot of the same problems.
Hi, You said you were going to look into the QQ23ds hand @5:00 after folding to action on the flop. I was curious if you have any more comment about this hand because to me it's a snap fold (giving the action). Maybe because I play lower stakes?
You got put in tough situations with weaker flushes on a couple occasions here. Seems like, in both situations, your opponent knows you'll have a low concentration of strong flushes given your position and preflop action, so they're able to relentlessley barrell you. What can you do other than make call downs against opponents you know are capable of taking advantage of this?

I really should have reset my timebanks before this video! If there are any spots I rush over feel free to ask in the comments...
Great vid! Do I detect a slight scouse twinge?
Thanks! I'm a Yorkshire man, but I've been living in Liverpool the last five years, so maybe it has rubbed off on me...
you folded 9876ss utg @18:30.Do you think your range going to be to AAxx and high card heavy if your folding this hand? would you open 8765ds UTG?
