James it was a good video. All your videos are great, you have a nice smooth style in explaining the hands, and make your thought process pretty easy to understand. I also appreciate that you make good amount of videos, you are definitely one of the top reasons I like leggo.

36:00 you open 22 otb and get 3bet by a very tight player from the sb and decide to defend, you don't give much reasoning besides saying he's a tight player.

Against his very narrow 3betting range, I feel as if defending here is pretty spewy, ,especially when the flop comes out 359 and you snap fold to his c-bet....I'm just confused to your thought process here, if you're just setmining 100bbs deep against a nit, it's gonna be spew, can you explain?

also, you mentioned it in the vid, but that 99 hand, obv when you double barrel the turn against vdeezy and the river comes off the ace of clubs it's a mandatory barrel

Well I mentioned in the video that Im mostly trying to set mine and thus folding to a cbet and sticking with my plan. Reason being that I am assuming his range is very strong with premium pockets, AK, AQ. With a pocket pair like deuces in this spot, we WANT his range to be strong, if he has a wide range here with lots of suited connectors 22 actually becomes more of a fold. If you think about this a bit you will probably realize why.

I think he also may give up at least some % of the time if he has AK,AQ on really low drawy boards where i can just bet and take it down. But even so given the odds of puttin in 12 dollars more with 180 behind, we're getting like 15:1 odds to call and if we flop a set I think we will be getting his stack a large portion of the time given that I believe his range is quite strong.
