Love the vid Tyler
Re the 22 hand on Q6Q45 board ..
I found your comments interesting re the villain's range - I'm a live player and am curious about 5/10 online player tendencies. You said you raised the flop for value against his A high hands, which the villain would often bet-call in this spot.
If I was playing this hand live and he called my flop raise in this spot I'd likely either shut down and check fold or turn my hand into a bluff and barrel the turn to push him off his mid pairs and sixes. I think it'd be fairly unusual to see villians float a raise with A-high here in a live game. And then you called the river, which you described as a zero EV play, I assume because villain will often enough bluff the river (with that bet sizing) with his A-high hands? Or is it to balance your turn checking range?
Do you think the 'live' line I described above be exploitable at online 5/10?

Ben I greatly enjoy your vids - probably the most inspiring thing I've taken away is the emotionless way you deal with losing (and winning for that matter) - if anything getting 'pwned' in a hand can make you giggle. I understand these are small stakes for you but I suspect a common trait of top tier pros is this emotionally detached state of mind, allowing you to hand-read more clearly and accurately. Have you always been like this or does your enormous roll have something to do with it? :)
Btw the live vids are great because it gives insight to a realistic amount of thought process achievable in real time during a hand.
