Default Trainwreck session post (Thanks for the how-to Spicy)

Alright, here's my first attempt at making a video. Hopefully the editing went a little better than the session. I felt like I played terribly. Perhaps the AJo hand should have been call/call/call?

I don't see many problems.

I thought you missed a couple of clear bluff opportunities. The checkraise with AK on a QT9 board was just not right, and I'm a little uncertain on the river were the board has a 4 straight to the broadway and you have Top and 3rd pair. If the turn had been heads up I would have called down, but getting raised there against to players says he had it. If he had it though then we can't call the turn.

The AK hand: I would have check/called the flop.

The AJ hand: I think a bet/fold on the turn or perhaps a check turn/call river would have been better.

I think you missed a couple of chances to steal the blinds, Ax on the button when folded to me is stealing time IMO.

these are all minor. you played well, just got some bad cards and flops i think.

AJo - might reraise preflop, but marginally so.

J8s - was he trying to steal? if not i don't know how good this hand is HU

33 - worth limping? i'm not sure.

AJ (AJT flop) - might have folded to the turn c/r, he is somewhat aggro though.

K8s - was this a steal attempt?

AJ (TT6 flop) - i'd fold after the bet and call

You need to steal ALOT more OTB. A3o is a perfect stealing hand. As is K4s. That AKo hand was ugly. Why are you C/Ring 2 overs+gutshot+backdoor. You have tremendous equity. Why drive people out of pot? Bet/call. Then bet/raise after that. Out of the BB, gap suited connectors getting 5-1 or greater are fine. Did you notice that rcficca is trying to steal your blinds everytime?

I was curious about those stealing opportunities. Ordinarily I raise. However, both the blinds were very loose and I figured I couldn't really get away with a blind steal. Should I still raise if one of them is almost always going to call?

I think your line in the AKo hand is interesting, i was thinking of check/calling the entire way.

I don't really understand your comment about the AJo hand where I have top and 3rd pair on the turn. When I get c/r he almost always has the straight but I have outs to a full at that point. Then I fold the river when he bets since I'm almost never good there. What part of the hand is problematic? Would you have not bet the turn?
