It's all definitely worth discussion. I don't think you are going to have to call down multiple streets a lot of the time. Yea, I agree, a tight villain that knows he has a tight image will have to go with a hand like TT or fold. But it is playing with fire 3 betting a tight villain I think. I 4 bet a tight villain in a cash game today who's stats are 19/19. He stacked off for 50 bbs with 88 and I had QQ. It was a button vs blind battle but I still think he made a bad play with 88 because he should've known that I could see he had a tight image.

Great vid. I like Paul's insights. I especially loved the click back with A8. It was the right play and your explanation makes sense. That play took some creativity. I agree with the set of 6s, a small bet should've been made on the turn because he might get a call from a hand like KQ or AK because they are overs and have a straight draw. I also agree that Mario should be betting 1/3 pot more often. Betting 1/2 pot on the turn really looks like a big river bet will follow, which is scary for the other player and could induce an unwanted fold.

 I disagree I think, Paul, with your criticism of calling small 3 bets with small pairs. Both times, with the 66 and 77, they were very tiny 3 bet raises and Mario was getting set odds to call with the pairs as they were fairly deep. I realize that he probably won't get paid off if he hits a set, but he was also in position. I don't think Mario was facing enough aggression from the other player to merit going all in with 66 or 77, as you suggested as a possibility, since they weren't that short stacked. You were also mentioning 3 betting crappy hands after tight players raised in early position. That could be a recipe for disaster, but I do need to 3 bet more in my own game.

Easy turn fold I think. I think you have the best hand about 3% of the time there. No way he's betting almost pot with pocket 5s, especially after the straight hit. And then even if your flush hit, you may not be good. It is curious that he'd bet QQ so big on turn there, even though the str8 hit though.
