What are you talking about? Just watched 5 hands from the session you linked to and it's just his standard GodMode.
Here is Mike's MO:
1. Call preflop as often as conceivably possible to keep up his image as the chimerical hyperloose soulreading crusher while enticing the other players to loosen as well. 3bet wide but only when your opponent doesn't have a monster or you have a better monster.
2. On the flop, if you have any piece whatsoever, play perfect by folding to monsters (unless you have a top pair type hand that would draw suspicion), raise/checkraise when they have nothing, otherwise call.
3. On the turn play absolutely perfect by just folding if you don't have much equity. Lead if they will likely check and you are ahead. Checkraise if they have a monster and you are ahead. If they have a monster and you're behind, lead small so when they raise you get away cheap. If checked to, play perfect. If bet to, simply raise anytime you're ahead.
4. On the river, check if you are ahead and they have nothing. Bet if you are ahead and they have something. Checkraise if you are ahead and they have monster. If you're behind, just checkfold unless you have betting lead and they're at bottom of their range. Then bet big. If you're in position, just play perfect unless you have a monster and they have a better monster. Then just call not to raise suspicion.
(1) explains the AQo call. The QJ bluff is his standard river bluff with betting lead. Watch the A3 vs A9 hand or the 72 vs JJ hand both of which he bluffs at an opponent at the bottom of their range but they unexpectedly hero. If Mike bluffs turn he VERY rarely doesn't bluff river b/c generally his opponents remain at the bottom of their range.
