Watched all the streams on previous broadcasts so glad you save them as I am never available to watch when you do go live.

You made a comment about jamming AK when you were certain the guy had 88/77 and how you would do it if you were off stream. Somewhat surprised that the stream put you off a bluff, did you give anymore thought to this after?

Glad to see that it's allowed in real poker too
definitely only do it in jest! As i said i shouldn't have said it, wasn't good of me. Glad you liked the JT! Although, people don't fold ever live so surely sneaking isn't a good idea?!

great! yeah, streaming makes me feel quite self conscious around making certain plays that may be scrutinised. Even though i know they're higher ev i sometimes hold back. Bit of a weird dynamic really. Also it's important that I don't give away my entire strategy on stream

            So i'm moving out of my flat tomorrow. It feels like it's taken forever for this transition period to complete. I'm not sure how i feel. Mainly sad but also somewhat excited - constant emotional ups and downs.

            Haven't got internet till the 28th but i sorted out a dongle today. Shame to leave the run good internet now its finally delivering

            Month is going good so let's hope it continues.

            Lol backdoor quads.

            RE: JT hand. I guess what I was getting at is live the dynamic (large opens, shallow effective stacks) is such that I play very tight face up range...so occasionally when I'm face up vs. someone capable of thought (rare!) and get a nut bad turn for most of my range I check. I don't tarp all the time but it's kind of a passive way I guess of protecting what is a very unbalanced capped value range.

            I def agree tho the name of the game live is to bet as big as you can as much as you can with teh value

                      How come you didn't cbet the flop? Seems like a board you would want to bet your whole range on - do you just figure this rec is going to make more mistakes vs a check or do you usually split your range here?

                      Also, lolwtf to the river in this hand and the other 99 hand, haha.

                      Just makes a lot of sense to do checking in a spot vs a rec where we can't conceivably get 3 street or withstand a flop raise
