I liked this review a lot. Giving insight into how your game has changed is helpful in understanding the kind of improvments I can look to make in my own game.
21:00 what do you think of opponents lead on the flop with a weaker wrap and not having a flush draw?
24:35 his call on the turn seems too loose with the flush draw out and the board has paired.
Hi SoundSpeed! Thanks a ton, this video seems to be doing good so I'm considering making part 2. Glad you were able to get much out of it.
21:00- When playing heads up, OOP does not donk anything(and on any board) when in a SRP. The reason for that is, for OOP, when ranges are wide and weak, flops are best played as check-decides. Our aggressive actions come from check raises OTF.
With his actual holding I do prefer a check call. Add hearts and I would consider raising, but given the strength of our FD, I would not consider raising lest I narrow his range to contain FDs that are crushing mine. Not having a pair means a few things- you don't block his sets, you have less equity and you don't block his continues. For all these reasons, I would check call in his shoes. Solvers prefer playing the small FDs passively but again, give me a pair, a wrap and a small FD and I would start raising the flop as these reasons to bet stack and now make for a more +EV continue in the check raise line as opposed to a check call line.
24:35- it does seem loose. One reason to consider check calling(with perhaps a different hand combo) would be to see whether you can value bet some rivers but when you are potentially already dead and you would have to consider bluff catching on some rivers with reverse implied odds, calling OTT becomes a big mistake.
