I feel bad for the fold on H1, should call that, my mistake. on H2 I think it's super exploitable but fine vs passive people/unknowns, H4 I think my hand is just a x back OTT, on those turns it's better to valuebet TP with more equity and check back more often the ones with higher kickers but that play poorly vs a raise. But I wouldn't be surprised if AQ folded in there and Q8/Q9/QT called.

So why the essay?
Because it's good practice, this time it was obvious that pio was wrong, but I will never lose anything by "knowing more". I prefer to be prepared for the worst, maybe in the future people start being more aware of how exploitable they are in this spot and will fix those leaks. If I have already studied it, then I will be ahead of them and will have more experience playing it.
And that's what I do with most spots in poker, I'm playing 2 hands every time I play one, I do my best to always think "what would I do here vs linus?" and then try to see the merits of making one play or another and make arguments with myself.
