Hello Alexandra, I wanted to ask about this hand which you briefly commented on near the start of the video. There was 3x open UTG and both you and the student liked 3betting this hand, especially if UTG was a rec. My database suggests that if UTG is a rec and SB is a reg, this 3bet is losing just over 1BB as a play. Most regs in my player pool are not great though, so I could still be convinced this is a +EV play.

I think it's indeed a break-even 3b against a reg, but seeing 3x open size I assume he's either a bad reg or a rec, in which case I like 3betting more, especially if 3x is his open size, this allows us to make more money when we take it down preflop. In addition, most villains tend to under 4bet in this spot allowing us to realize more equity. However if you just fold this hand against most regs won't be an issue.
