Sorry I am not a fan.

I don´t like how your trying to think on multiple levels. According to PTR you don´t play a ton of hands on these tables and therefore I don´t think you can assume leveling stuff like `he knows I know that I shouldn´t be donking on turns when he´s bluffcatching´. As far as they are concerned you´re an unknown and they underrepresent their hand.
I agree the T8s hand is a turn bet, but not because of the whole leveling theory (you're projecting your way of thinking about poker too much on the villains, e.g. european players don't 'think pot control' ).
The reason it's a good bet is because you have outs and the board hits your flat calling range pretty well. It's just not a very profitable spot for him to bluff catch against your range and what part of it he thinks you'll donkbet on the turn.

Another thing, you´re taking every aggression spot possible in the vid. 3betting, 4betting, raising turns. It can be done when you´re relatively unknown but as soon as people pick up on it, they will play back.
Its tough to stay balanced or back up your frontdoor aggression postflop.

In your comments you're sometimes discussing a player could you explain your HUD at the beginning of the vid or quickly go over the relevant stats? 'the call isn't as easy as it seems' or 'the player doesn't fold to 4bets as often' or 'because of his specific tendency'.

The T9s hand.
I think it's full of contradiction. You're saying because of the board texture you would play KK similarly, but honestly are you ever checking this flop as the aggressor with any overpair, set or 2pair?
Secondly you're check/overshoving a Thi flush draw after you concluded that his flat vs squeezes contains a lot of trappy / strong hands and little air.
With the check/shove you're getting it in against nearly all his overpairs and good hands and you're only folding out his misses and air (but get an extra 130$ of them). I think it's just better to cbet- revaluate the flop. If he shoves it's a fold and you don't have to feel disgusted (his strong defend range) and all other things (mini raise, call, fold) work in your advantage.

I think it's pretty ridiculous that you are basing anything off of PTR.

You're reducing my post to 1 issue.. but ok.

I am obviously aware of the incompleteness/ inaccuracy of PTR and I am not drawing any conclusions regarding his winnings. (probably plays on multiple sites using multiple sn's) I just state that he's an unknown in the 5/10 cash games on FTP. And that fact is backed up with the number of hands he has on villains on the table. At one point (I believe the T9s hand that squeezes preflop) he's going into detail on villain, he has only 165 hands on him.. there is not much history.

Welcome, Jared!

Your name looked familiar and saw I had some 200NL FR hands vs you on Full Tilt...do you spread limits, or were you making a video back then?

GLGL and thanks!

I play 200-1,000 regularly. I play 2K when there's a juicy game only.

Unfortunately due to FR not being as "popular" as 6m...you either have to spread limits or spread sites if you want to 15-16 table like I like to. I'm not a big fan of playing multiple sites at the same time (for example, it's annoying to be playing with auto timebank on tilt while you don't have a timebank on cake, makes me time out a lot) So I choose to spread limits.

A very normal session for me right now on say Full Tilt is 1-2 tables of 5/10, 2 tables of 3/6, 6-10 tables of 2/4 and 2-6 tables of 1/2. It's simply not possible to 15 table 5/10 on 1 site
