I have played quite a bit with you (mostly 1k hypers) and I respect both your person and your play (and like your videos very much) but probably live setting doesn't let you show your best play.

1st hand (KK).
PF - whatever unless you want to have some 3b/fold to small stack shove in which case 3b is too big obv.
Flop - pretty sure that in practice it is better to bet 10-11 BBs to set up a turn shove but could be convinced that theoretically betting your size is fine.
Turn - check back or bet/call, bet/folding is just terrible.
2nd hand (AA)

Played fine obv.

3rd hand (KTo).

Flop is whatever. Turn is very thin. River is creative but borderline suicidal.

4th hand (QTo)

Flop is very optimistic without BDFD. Turn is very optimistic, creative and probably bad without a gutshot.

5th hand (AA)

PF is whatever obv.

Flop is OK.

Turn is very thin 4-way.

River is just straight up value-cut. And if you are so sure he always shove boats just shove vs his check and win the pot close to 100% of the time. Normally, however, silently thank him for checking the river and snap check back.

Not sure why 4 people liked this comment. It lacks analysis, and is results oriented.

First hand- Why is it better in practice to bet 10-11 bbs? You give no reason why. Why do we want to set up a turn shove? Why is this a better option than maximizing the EV with our range with a smaller size?

3rd hand- why is the river raise suicidal? If we have some overpairs that check back the flop, then we can have a raising range that includes bluffs on this run out. Easy to over-do, but by no means suicidal.

5th hand- "PF is whatever" sounds like a comment you'd see from twoplustwo thread back in 2005.

Hi good video, I'm just wondering if you're bet folding KK, which hands do you have in your range that can bet/call that you would play the same way?

17:12 "by betting turn i left my range uncapped" doesn't make much sense imo, no matter what line you take postflop your range is largely capped to one pair on this texture, betting turn doesn't really leave your range less capped than if you had checked
