As a primarily HUNL player these days, it would be awesome to see a subforum under NLHE for just posting HU hands. I would think that 9max and 6max players would also appreciate this for their format as well as it would allow us to not have to try to filter through the entire thread to find hands specific to the games we play.  

Sorry if this has been mentioned already, after briefly looking couldn't find this suggestion. 

Thanks!

I know other training sites have this and would really like to see this option where I can enlarge the video to fit whatever size my browser window is at. I like putting on videos when I don't have too many tables running but sometimes the video screen size is too small to see but I don't want to make it full screen either. 

Thanks for a great product overall though!

There are 15 players left I am CL and BTN is in 3rd. I don't like a 4b here bc of stack sizes. Is this a slam dunk jam?

Also I don't see many light 3bs at these stakes on Lock so I'm assuming that the BTN is 3bing for value until proven otherwise.

This might be a trivial spot but wanted to do a check up anyway.

UTG: $160.46 (320.9 bb)
MP: $54.80 (109.6 bb)

BTN: $50.75 (101.5 bb)
SB: $15.85 (31.7 bb)
BB: $35 (70 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Jd Jc
UTG folds, MP raises to $1.75, Hero calls $1.75, BTN raises to $5.75, 2 folds, MP calls $4, Hero raises to $106.90 and is all-in

MP is 23/19/323 50% fold to 3b
BTN is 25/20/9 0% 3b
SB is 32/32/50 18% 3b
I'm 23/21/76 9% 3b

I decide to flat bc of the SB. He has a high 3b% and could easily shove here with 30bb. I also felt that since the SB only had 30bbs my 3b would be perceived as stronger than normal and therefore I wouldn't be thrilled about getting 4b.

I had no idea about BTN's sizing since this is his first 3b. Once MP flats I know that I am crushing his range. My hand is disguised and I think it looks much weaker by shoving vs backraising where I'd look committed anyways.

Easy shove?

UTG is 26/18 over 776 hands 40% fold to 3b
We have a decent amount of history and we 3b/4b each other more than any other player at our tables

I'm definitely seen as a TAG overall probably with something like 20/18 and 7% 3b but again that is different vs this specific opponent. He also loves to float flops IP vs me which as led me to increase my 2barr frequency which in most cases gets a fold from him.

On the flop I would have preferred something closer to 8.50 then my 7 but at the time decided on 7 since the board was so dry.

Turn I didn't bet because I felt as though I get a lot of folds as it should appear as very strong and the hands that he will call the turn with I felt he'd also bet when I check. My plan was the x/shove the turn since it can look really bluffy and I could get called by several worse pairs.

On the river I think that betting is out of the question. I also hate x/calling here since I can't see him turning pairs into bluffs or getting to the river with complete air which leaves x/shoving and x/folding. The only hands that I could see having the Ac are AcKx and AcQx. I can't imagine him flatting UTG w AcJx or worse although slightly possible since we are a bit deeper. Its probably a stretch to believe that I could get him to fold the Ac but I don't think that it is impossible since people rarely x/shove on the river as a bluff in these games and my image postflop is solid even vs this guy. Because of his super narrow b/calling range I hate folding. Thoughts?

tshnabs - 41/10/86 3 AF
At final table he had been involved in a bunch of hands and seemed capable of spazzing but have no personal history with him
with 9 left at FT he got it in for 50x 3way on KJ5ss8 w KxQs

I raised small on the flop in the hopes of making worse TP/MP which I thought was a possibility as well as inflating the pot since I know I can get calls from a lot of worse hands. Turn I think is an easy check after raising the flop. If I had just called the flop I'd consider betting here for value. OTR I don't know whether to shove or call. The hands that will call me that I beat are KQ/A9/A5/K9 and only lose to AK/JT. My thinking was that with ICM considerations calling is better than shoving since I don't gain nearly as much as I lose when I shove and get called and win vs shoving and losing and there's also a decent amount of the time that I will just get a fold anyways.

Thoughts?
