18:30 do you think if this was 500NL you would still play XC XC XC or would you be more willing to play for stacks lower stakes? I wonder because as I shot take I often find myself just calling in these spots, but I think in reality people don't fold AQ/AK enough when you click it back on the river. Of course they wanna throw up and figure they are beat close to 100% of the time, but I don't find people making these discipline laydowns enough to not play for stacks with aces up here. Especially higher stakes I expect to see some hero calls from 97s here because of elite blockers.
Yeh it’s an interesting point, but I think this hand is just a check-call on the river. If the turn brought a flush draw I’d be more inclined to check-raise turn.
34min with QJo on the T95hh-Kx when you get XR on the turn even though you don't have many bluffs that 3bet or value hands besides QJ that wanna 3bet that turn, as you said all your 2 pairs mostly just call. I would still 3bet because you end up with a 2 SPR on the river by just calling and Q, J, heart, or board pairing are all action killers. Opponent can still XR with some combo draws so a 3bet charges that region setting up easy river shove rather than hoping a brick comes about 50% of the time.
Gary thank you so much for sharing this content, it's of paramount importance to me. I was curious where you play high stakes, can you share? Thank you and have a great year!

Prefer live play. Not a fan of the false levity.

Majority of my range wants to just call, so I need nutted hands otherwise i'll be unbalanced. Finding bluffs here would be hard.
