In most cases the player in your spot does have a huge range. I think the JJ hand was terrible on my part regardless but the AQ vs AA isn't that bad with my read. In another hand in the video I jammed AQ in the same spot against a different player and he folded.
I know the video looked bad, but part of it is just I've been playing way more PLO than NLH lately and my game was a little rusty. My next video is going to be PLO and should be great imo, and I'm def going to play a bunch of 6max NL and iron out my game before I make another video of that.

Stinger, don't get me wrong. I meant no disrespect, as I think you're a phenomenal player. I'm just saying that your perception of me was a little skewed, and I think you even referred to that in the video. It probably had to do with my screen name, avatar, hand strength, and/or positional advantage. Whatever the reason, people generally perceive me as you did, and when they look at their PT stats, they're surprised to see that I'm not playing nearly as many hands as they thought.
That being said, the tables were certainly playing more aggressively than standard 2/4 6-max tables, but that was mostly due to them consisting of almost all TAG regulars. I can't really speak on behalf of the other players, but it wouldn't surprise me if they loosened their 3-betting and 4-betting ranges. They probably figured that the money didn't mean didn't mean as much to you (obv), and when they saw you playing 27/24/7 and 3-betting and 4-betting fairly liberally, they weren't willing to lay down TT+.
