Bradley great video great perspective!

Its been really helpfull watching your vídeos, im exactly on the same pace regarding making the best choice on a moment.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Wish you the best!

Hi Thomas, great work I really enjoyed it!

Do you base your decisions on HUD to exploit villains on this level?

To answer your last question on the video, I like more live play and theoretical videos.
If you use Pio solver I would like to learn something from it.

Keep up the good work.

Great video Akira! It covers a tournment phase that I've been struggling to make the right decisions.

On minute 23:19 on KQo stars why don't you think CB is the best option? I understand you want to take the full value of the hand, but the oponent can represent basic his entire range and put you on pressure.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

What a beasstt!!

What type of game do you play? and what limits? can you make withdraws freq?

thanks

Wat I meant to said is that our hand is decent but not strong enough to lead on the turn because if the villain raise our donk bet, I will be force to fold despite our projects. So checking the turn regardless the card is my best option. Am I right? thanks

Preflop and flop I'm playing like you.

Preflop cause your hand is very strong, and you're having great pot odds so definitely is a call here. On the flop you catch high pair with a very good kicker with backdoor straight draw flush draw so its x/c here too.

On the Turn, since you are OOP and without any reads on villain its a tricky spot. I think that if i'm going to call here I suppose I must start thinking what i'm representing facing the river. I suppose we are rep. AQx KQx, suited connectors like QJs QTs JTs 98s 78s and pairs like 99- (TT+ we are most of the time 3betting pre on this level i think). Also we are blocking some of his range, like QQ KK AQ AK. It pleasure me thinking calling this turn and donkshoving this river, cause it fits our range, but if i'm going to check this river i'm folding most of the time to a bet.

If the turn comes T, J or A, it dependes if it is clubs or not. but against a unknown villain I'm calling every suit , bcause our hand is to weak to raise, but too strong to fold, so i'm passive here. We stil gonna have straight draws in the worst case scenario.

It really dependes on the type of the villain, but playing without reads i'm definitely playing with this thoughts.

Working Full-Time on a desk looking to a computer and then making a short/medium session at home looking again to a computer makes us feel a piece of garbage at the end of the day. :) 

My routine is very similiar as yours. I wake up a 7.30am and get home at  18pm. I try to begin a session at 19.30pm till 22pm because normally I have to make another pending tasks. I also play tennis 2 hours a week (1hour per day).

I made a schedule where I don't play nothing 1 day a week, but  I take it to study poker (maybe 2-4 hours) watching videos, reading hands and review some of my own hands. (btw I try to see 1 video per day here at RIO, also I read a poker book before bedtime). I have lucky too to access RIO from my work so this helps me a lot. On saturday and Sunday I try to play all morning or afternoon so that way I can compensate all the week.

It takes a lot of sacrifice to reconcile work with poker, but if you have passion for the game, you will do whatever it takes to study/gamble and to encourage yourself to move up levels.

I begun to play rush sng on full tilt (1,10$ on demand), than I moved to STT turbo and than Hyper-turbo 6max. Now I play NL10 and NL25 ZOOM and I think this is the best variant for me and for my routine, so make intentions to stick with it for a long time. Also I try to take shots on MTT on sunday, but not too late because monday is again workday :/

hope this helps you somehow. If you can either advice me I would appreciate :)
