Thanks for the video, one of the most instructive I've seen in a long time. When the coach can be this deep and accurate this format becomes very good.
I did stop the video in the Q9 hand on the river to ask myself the same question, how best to maximize vs our opponent. I think it is close between check or block, but i do prefer block a bit cause BBs range still has a lot of 1pair Ax. I guess that the relevant decision points are a)wether BB calls a lot vs block with 1 pair Ax and b) wether his bluffing frequency does go down a lot vs a block as opposed to vs a check.
My assumption is that we can get value from 1pair Ax and that we still see bluffs vs the block.
You mention in the end that you dont think BB will call a small bet with A5, and then i agree the check is better.
Very interesting hand and very interesting video overall, as always!
In theory we have a mixed play on the river with Q9 and against no info I would always randomize. However, against regulars with certain tendencies we are better off playing "pure lines" (100% check or 100% bet) with different portions of our range. You can see this as a modern way of intending the expression "exploitative play".
