Two hands winning max value because I didn't play it by the book. Key to micro online profits is not letting your opponent know you have them beat, raising and betting loses customers.

PS
A) I prefer hands to be visual to text, if you someone wants to respond with the text of the hand go for it.
B) I use Rumble because YouTube has gotten too ridiculous with their ads, Rumble has less.
C) If you don't like the video format of this hand, ignore post and move on.

Ok, troll confirmed. Don't bother watching the video.
Dude limps aces from the CO with 3 previous limpers.
BTN min-raises and 4 people calls.
OP raises all-in x one million and is called by 33.

Big brain unconventional play.

H1-I dont hate this play its better on early postions, but if BTN and blinds are aggressive its not terrible.
H2-Is okish as well.

Its been a very VERY profitable play. Raising only chases away all nut peddlers. There's many players at these stakes who auto raise if there are multiple limpers, a very exploitable play if you play the players and not just your cards.

You know this hilarious in so many ways, maybe its because im still high but this is exactly how GTO advocates view exploitative approach, as borderline trolling. The irony is that that overlimp-shove play with AA is gto approved, if you look at zenith range against utg + mp + co limps, btn has an overlimp range pretty much with all of its' AA and against bb's 7bb rfi, btn splits between raising to 33bb and shoving.

nh. Think you can also just min-raise the min-raise sometimes for additional deception, but your play is fine if you don't want to get too fancy

Got this hand today. Another perfect example of why not to raise with AA and unconventional postflop play.

PokerStars - €0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 96 BB
Hero (BTN): 103.2 BB
SB: 131 BB
BB: 37.8 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 4

CO calls 1 BB, Hero calls 1 BB, fold, BB checks

Flop: (3.4 BB, 3 players) 3

BB checks, CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: (3.4 BB, 3 players) 6

BB bets 3.4 BB, CO calls 3.4 BB, Hero calls 3.4 BB

River: (13.6 BB, 3 players) 9

BB checks, CO bets 91.6 BB and is all-in, Hero raises to 98.8 BB and is all-in, fold

Hero shows 4

(Straight, Seven High)
(Pre 22%, Flop 26%, Turn 77%)
CO shows A

(Three of a Kind, Aces)
(Pre 78%, Flop 74%, Turn 23%)
Hero wins 186 BB
