I like how you always stay cool even car dead and looking to be agressive at the right time, i see myself sometimes in too many tough decisions on final table or in the last 18-15 players, just because i feel i need the 3 top stacks to have a real shot to win the whole thing and involving in too many marginal situations, i've learned tons with your series, keep it up
What do you think about leading the turn w KT where you turned nut straight w possible flush on board? It's a spot where opponent gona check back a lot of hands including his value, semi marginal value hands (which you can get value from), and also he can easily take a free one w a flush draw, so there you are missing on a lot of value I think + giving too much for cheap away. If you do not agree would be nice to hear reasons. If you agree would be interesting how to react if he raises our lead.
The AQ hand where you called a huge 4bet shove from PKaizers 77..
First mind when I saw it was that I could see myself folding that, cause it is a huge huge portion of our stack and if we loose we are loosing a lot if our future equity, which comes from playing a big stack, bullying table, seeing flops, making 3bets, applying pressure by barelings and so on so on (What you think about that my first mind of laying it down?), but as I thought a bit deeper right now I think AQ is just simple too strong to fold there. I think AQ is a cutof ant if we had worse hand like AJs that would be a fold for sure, agree? My reasoning that AQ just dominates a lot of his 4bet shoving hands like Ax's KQ's maybe QJs's and also fliping a decent amount, but AJs is not dominating as much and if it doesn't we are just racing for too much where it is too unnesecarry. Do you agree? If not then I would like to hear your calling range and reasons.
Meistras, I considered that at the time and think its a fine play, but decided not to firstly due to his larger cbet size (possibly coz of the drawy board, possibly coz he liked it this time) but my assumption was he liked it. So wanted to pot control incase we bet, he calls and we're unsure how to play a board pair/spade river. Secondly when the board makes a 1 card straight its going to be hard to get 2 streets from worse than a straight, so I think we're only losing value from f-draws which considering stack depth he'll probably play passively (so I like the lead) and Tx (which may bet anyway). Certainly my argument against isn't a very strong one, but I think if the board didn't make a 1 card straight I would have lead.
Yes I agree with your later thoughts about AQ that it simply is too strong to fold, although I think AJ is no different, as anything better he would certainly induce with 45x. Given we've seen him 5b jam A3o earlier for a similar amount I think I'd also struggle to fold AT. I think his range here is just too spew/small pair weighted (think he peels broadways near 100%) for us to hero fold.

Hi Paul, have few questions..

Thanks, gl and see you at the tables ;-)
Thanks Sonny, glad you've enjoyed them!
