10.10 min ~ Table 4 you call in bb vs sb with A5s, flop comes 656r, he bets you call. The turn is a 7
and sb checks to you and you elect to check back. What is your thoughprocess behind checking and
not betting? Its probably a very standard spot, but I find myself betting here alot since he can call with worse 5x, and the board is kinda drawy so we do wanna protect some aswell. What do you
think about it?

Very solid vid. Thanks alot!

I think betting is perfectly fine for all the reasons you gave. You don't have to worry about being blown off your hand too often too. He will c/c better hands a lot on that turn and rarely worse (maybe like 85s) which is why I checked back, but there is merit in protecting when you aren't afraid of getting c/raised. I think bet or check are both fine/very close.

Thanks, glad you liked the vid.

Hi Tim

Very interesting video. Thanks. Very wp

A couple of questions:

38.55
Can you elaborate on why you think it is best for villain to 4-bet
with KJs instead flatting?
To me it does not seems like he is going to fold out with KJs that he
is behind to / he is dominated by.
Neither does it seems like he is getting value from anything worse

44.00
Why do you decide to lead the flop with the Q9s?

nice vid!
maybe they have the option for further inflation because for small people/children a double inflation would severely decrease movability and just not be necessary. Movability also tends to be important in a rough ocean, not just flotation.

Great video.

I really enjoy your videos. I think you explain your thought process very well.
Even though I am only a 50/100NL player I still learn a lot.

Keep it up :-)

if they first one springs a leak or doesnt work then you pull the 2nd. you might be floating at sea for a long time. save the 2nd!!

Another great video.
Solid strategy content.
Amusing anecdotes.
Interesting 'Big Picture' ponderings.
What's not to like? (Other than I'm progressing up the Party ladder so I might have to play him before too long!! )
