Had to wait for the Gus podcast to export so I went over another 3.5 hours of hands. More amazing play to witness.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE LINE YOU WOULD TAKE if you knew your opponent
had QQ and wouldn't call a c/r - then he does the fake hollywood acting
job when raised on the river and calls correct. He is never ever ever wrong in spots like this so far. Amazing line and play.

One of the most ridiculous lines I've seen yet. Call 3bet OOP not very deep and then
c/c a bet w/ not much behind with J7 high on K85. Of course leads the turn and takes it down when opponent has a hand they don't want to call with. Always crushes these spots.

Once again Mike attacking a 3bet pot correctly when his opponents have hands
that they can't call with. He must really dislike this Cameron kid. Somehow chooses
the perfect turn size to not look like a FD but look like a hand going for
obvious value. Another amazing play by Mike. World class reading ability.

The guy auto wins 3b pots, once again makes the right decision in a 3b pot. Haven't seen him make the wrong one yet.

Once again Mike goes into check/call mode w/ a strong hand on the river when he is
conveniently beat on the river w/ trips vs a straight. The exact type of hand he loses. Seems to be a theme for when he is beat on the river in a spot where he might have to bet/call a raise.

This is the type of **** he does when he is beat. He leads the river for some super small type of bet knowing that he probably can't fold and would have to call a bigger bet, also blocks against Tx bet, gets value from weaker. Another perfect line to take.

He loves to do this make it look like he is going to hero call in spots like this and then always make the right fold, I really thought this would be his first hero call in a very reasonable spot to consider doing so. He tricked me in real time.

This is another very weird line from Mike in a spot where he is beat by his opponent and is trying to get a free showdown/play weird/not bet a normal size to lose money. I've seen something similar only when he is beat in the past but never this weird and conveniently he is drawing dead on the turn but also has a hand he would always bet off past play patterns.

This hand isn't very noteworthy but I've started paying attention more when he does this fake pretend to call and then fold. It almost seems like he is doing this for the people watching at home to make them think he is debating making loose/thin/losing calls. It's a very interesting strategy but it goes along w/ the type of table image he is clearly trying to give off.

The first questionable play on later streets in 15 hours I've seen that isn't actually bad when called because of how many hands he is playing w/ the bryan guy and overall will be good for image which ends up paying off for him in the immediate future after this hand.

Another perfectly played hand by Mike - decides not to cbet in a spot where he is
cbetting at a high frequency MW, then bets big on the river in a spot where
is going for heavy value. He has shown the type of strategy to bet smaller in these spots
to get called by a weaker value hand vs going bigger. He has shown the habit of going for a similar turn sizing in the past vs this sized up bet on the river even though it's probably standard type sizing for most people.
