with KJcc i think checking back 653ccc would be a pretty significant mistake, certainly in a low-stakes MTT. You can get called by so many hands that are drawing dead on the flop, but which may well not get a bet from on a lot of turns.
Hands like 4x 5x 6x, with or without a club can certainly call once now, but may well fold when the turn is a high card. You also give the villains in the hand a chance to c/shove hands like 6x, 4x, any hand with a high club or pair/SD+FD type hands.
Obviously if the turn rolls of a club after we check back flop we're limited to maybe 1 street from that point.
I really like your series and micro videos in general however I really think you are way off in some spots...
1st @03:42 KJs hand there is no way in hell he reshoves that range 18bb deep. I've never seen anyone show up there with say A8o or A4s... KTs or KQo... people at micros(pokerstars) are just way way too passive for that. The range is at best half of what you are proposing (so that makes it 11%) and even if he had less bb say 12 it still wouldn't change much(perhaps more suited aces but thats optimistic) sure they sometimes slowplay AA/KK but that's a very small percentage of the time. Usually those hands are slowplayed outside of blinds. So yea that makes KJs a raise/fold.
@17:40 I like your analysis and this is exactly what I was talking about. The donk just checks back TPGK with a bit more than a PSB left... its annoying to play vs someone so passive literally extracting value through a straw.
@21:20 see this too is an example of typical micro stupidity.. bet 1bb river with nuts to induce... and you are then left to play a guessing game whether he is just inducing or randomly clicking buttons - of course I agree with everything you said about our hand TT, I am of course just commenting villain's move.
@37:15 JJ again see... villain doesn't reshove AKs with 10bb... annoying passivity - perhaps he is slowplaying which makes it even worse cause I don't think that it's a good idea with such stack sizes.
@41:30 last hand yet again example of what I'm talking about... checking back trips with less than half pot bet left... just scared taking safe routes... instead of sticking it in. Pretty sure he puts you on a flush there given the xc on the turn or a weird AQ(which is even less likely on the river) just because your line was kinda passive and thats typical for micros.
Biggest problem is by the time you identify who the passive donks are and who the maniac 3betting bluffers are it will be too late and you will never see them again.(and most of the time they all just play randomly regardless of who they are) an example of that is @26:50 when the guy who checked back the KQo TPGK I mentioned before in comments just decides to rip it in there with Qhigh FD... I don't understand how can someone so passive in 1 spot be so aggresive in another... random donks imo. Sure its good when he spews like that but extremely difficult to hand read... I mean it wasn't even the nutflush just random hand he decided to go with
So yea like I said I really like some of your other vids as well(Big 3.3 review for instance) but the way I see it... best way to win this is just luckbox a tournament and get the hell out of these nit infested MTTs with players who have no clue what they're doing. I'm interested to see what you think of this! :)

the AQs hand it seems pretty clear the bb is all-in for <1bb and UTG limps, so hero is UTG+1

@03:42 KJs - "I've never seen anyone show up there with say A8o or A4s"
really??? dont you shove this hands?
for me thats a range ok for a resteal.
doesn't matter what I shove... what matters is what others shove - and they don't shove that at say, hot 3.3 or 5.5 reg speed. Never
Nice vid, thanks
