good vid except you're not valuetowning yourself against KT w/ AJ on 55TKA

how can you checkbehind with tptk vs a huge stationmonkey fish?
its not like you balance anything with that and there are far better hands to use as bluffcatchers here

If ur going to leave comments about specific hands try to let me know the time when these hands went down, thanks!

I think he was talking about the hand at 16:30 top middle where you check bak AK on A92r in a 3bet pot v a huge station. With the pot at only 138 and 750 behind are you not hoping to get stacks in across 3 streets rather than play your hand as a bluff catcher?

I felt like his range was very wide, but I dont feel that he's going to be calling OOP w/o a pair, I think the only thing we're getting 3 streets of value from is Ax. I think with something like 9x or JJ is probably calling 2 streets and folding to river jam but more importantly I dont think he has a pair all that often with his range so to extract value from his TJ,JQ,KJ,KQ, 78s, etc. or whatever he has, I planned on checking back to either:

a) let him catch up and call off 2 streets which I think he would do whenever he pairs up
or
b) induce bluffs from some of his air to try and rep the ace himself.

Betting 3 streets obviously isnt bad by any means and still +EV but I think there is more value in checking back based on the range I put him on.
