@ about 8 minutes in you fold 66 utg+1 on table 4 (bottom left). Everyone has 100+ bb, we can't set mine? Table too good? Low implied odds?

Loved the video - great job! One question around the 39:00 mark: you went with QQ vs. the BB 3bet and the UTG shove 50bb or so. Now obviously, that time you admitted you just didn't want to give up the QQ and happened to run into aces in the BB & your reasoning was that those two players could not have put you on that big of a hand which I totally get where you are coming from. From your play, it makes me think I always give way too much credit to the BB who reraises the original UTG raiser. Do you think the BB squeezes often in that situation vs UTG raiser?

This is a fold I often make in EP at a FR table. The idea behind folding is that unless my hand flops a set it will not very profitable hand to play. We rarely flop a set and in the state of today's games implied odds for flopping a set is pretty low.

I typically give the BB mucho credit in spots like this, here there was a lot of dead money and stack sizes made folding a bad option preflop imo.

You have a note on gutter 23 on table 1:
"more advance player, called my donk ai a8 off 89x flop K turn called 3/4 ehm i had it. I bet half river wettish he shoves bluff i snap"
@ around 18:00 you say that he seems to be able to turn a pair into a bluff when necessary. It piqued my interest because you also said "he doesn't evaluate scare cards based on just that they are scary to his hand, he evaluates the logic--would I actually play a hand like that for value". So he's a thinking TAG not a TAGfish? I feel like I'm TAGfish anymore lol so I want to analyze this area. Would this player be a level 3 thinking player then?
Does "ai and ehm" mean something or just jibberish? lol I don't think I understand how the hand played out based on your notes.
The note was up as soon as the video started, so we didn't get to see this hand play out.

@ 19:00 you hold AA. Villian utg opens, you flat co. QQTfd flop. I found a leak in my game. I'd cbet in his spot.
The reason you don't cbet is because you don't fold any worse hands. So you are gaining no equity. I realize that... but blindly do it. However, if we are in his spot, what should our plan be after checking? Do we c/c flop and decide on turn/river? (3 on turn 4 on river...) If we're even supposed to c/c that flop in his spot, what would our plan be on other turn and river cards?) I need to do some leak-plugging
time away from the tables turned me into a TAGfish.
