Hi thanks for the video, it's really good!
Two quick questions:
1. At 7:30 I noticed an UTG raise with 56s when it was 6-handed on the top-left table. Did you have reads on some of the players to do this? It looks like a really loose play.
2. At 16:00 on the top-right table you had 9Ts on a 8Q99 board. You were pretty confident that you had the nuts, because you block the straight. If so, why did you raise the turn? Were you protecting your hand against flush draws? Or trying to get value out of hands like AQ?

Thanks!

I have a question as a beginner playing the same stakes. Was it wrong calling the all in on the turn? Obviously king of clubs gives good river equity against a lower made flush but it looks like he's not really beating many hands when calling this all in. I don't really see hands worse than AK shoving (unless they have ace of clubs??) . So is folding on the turn the correct play? Obviously assuming you have no reads etc. 

I think that this is an easy fold as any 3 bet on a UTG raise is showing serious strength, even if it is from a short stack. Too likely for him to either have a pair TT+ or overcards to your 99 which only makes you a 50/50 chance of winning the pot. Also remember that he is 3-betting you from UTG+1, not from late position, so it shows even more strength from him. I find that a lot of times in these low stakes cash games people buy-in for the minimum specifically so they can profit from hands like these.

Hey sorry to bring up an old post and I know this is quite a basic question but what would be your approach when flatting the BN raise pre flop? Do you just check / fold flop whenever there are 2 overcards and you don't hit a set? Would 66 be much different to 22 in terms of pre flop decision? Cheers
