Nice video, watched it last night but wasn´t focused enough to pick up details, I´ll get back to it tonight.

There are already two spots I remember:

1. AQo in the blinds and a somewhat tight player raises in EP. I can´t see why calling would be the better option here. Vs this type of player we´ll usually end up in a reverse implied odds kinda situation. I can imagine only very few boards, that play profitable OOP vs his range, while we have to call at least one bet with TP´s, that couldn´t be considered good a large % of the time. I think calling is the worst option, while 3betting or folding depends on how much credit we could give him for folding 99-JJ/AQ+.

2. Whats your general opinion on overlimping vs. raising behind limpers, or how do your raising ranges change with multiple limpers in front of you? I´m playing a "raise or fold game" most of the times with a vpip/pfr ratio between 1.1 and 1.2. People usually give more credit for a raise behind limpers and our FE on flop increases in a raised pot, while with dead money already in the pot and one or two habitual limp-caller pot odds dont change drastically.

1. I don't remember the exact hand/player. But, if I thought his range was 99/AQ then it is an easy fold. If his range is wider, then we won't be in a reverse implied odds situation too often. Its not like we have to stack off on every board/action with tptk. 1/2 players are not very aggressive, so they wont really fire 2nd/3rd barrels with a correct frequency to force tough decision. 3-betting is fine too, but its pretty ambitious to expect ppl to fold 99-QQ/AK

2. I'll raise limpers a ton until they start adjusting. But I do a lot of raising anyways, so in FR I'm not a huge fan of raising hands like A3s or QJo when multiple people limp in. 1 limper is much different, you can isolate a lot of hands and c-bet and make an immediate profit. Lots of limpers I'll sometimes jack it up to like 10bb to steal the dead money, and people never play back at that at lower stakes. In aggro games I raise enough hands that I sometimes limp so that I don't keep getting 3-bet with hands I want to see a flop with.
