Hello Phil,

It has been a very long time since I have posted a comment
or a question on one of your video. So let me first say I still enjoy very much
watching them and I still learn a lot from your analysis.

Today I would like to comment on the hand AAA5r.

You say it is a hand you like to 3bet in position, and
prefer to just call when out of position. I totally agree when playing with
deep stacks. When I play 100 BB deep I prefer to just call in position. For 3
reasons :

1/ (the main reason).  I can bluff with my nut flush blockers much
more efficiently when playing with an high SPR post flop. 100 BB deep no one
folds flush or even flush draws in 3bet pot.

2/ (also a good reason). If I just call and someone squeeze
from the blinds, I can put all my stack in pre flop with 100 BB deep. While
playing 200 BB deep I risk to face gross spots post flop.

3/ (I am not sure about that one and I would appreciate
other feedback). If the blinds call of course it hurts the equity of our hand.
But I have the feeling that people play more honestly post flop multiway when they are 100 BB deep than with 200 BB. Especially when they are out
of position. Because they cannot put so much pressure and because average opponents
stack off lighter. So I feel I can still manage to pot control/float and bluff efficiently
even when the pot is multi way.

On the turn QJ8J you are considering turning this hand into
a bluff. If we decide to play it, since our hand beats all the other 2 pairs
combo isn't it better to rather keep it in our bluff catching range? I do agree
folding is the best line.

Hi Phil!
Thank you a lot for your videos, it's very useful.

I have one off top overall question: we play 6max PLO deep and sit on the MP with no matter hand and having one guy on the button, who is the last nit all over the world - playing 15/6 (3bet:2) over a decent sample; so could we expand our range thus like imaging this guy in sit-out, so basically we play from CO?

The QT93ds hand at the 39 minute mark, you claim that it is GTO to play QT as a check 0.2% of the time. But that is not going to matter much at a stack to pot ratio of 4-5, for instance Tx can still happily bet call blank rivers. So it is far more likely that QT either checks with a much higher frequency or doesn't check at all in GTO.

And the AAA5r is behind to basically every double suited hand without an ace, even unconnected garbage like QT63ds. And it is also behind connected (double) pair double suited hands like 9977ds and TT98ds. And it has less than 51% equity against AT98ds. But I still like your reasons for 3-betting.

On Table 3 at the 6:30 mark you fold A556s with 100BBs in the SB vs an UTGR and one caller.  Do you need to be deeper or IP to play this hand?
