Joe,
I just finished your Poker Tutor lesson (Joe Beaver 6 Handed NL 6 Max). The lesson was absolutely great! I especially appreciated the fact that you folded with on the very first hand. It sets the pace of the lesson and it illustrates very well your playing style.
I have a few questions for you.
Question #1
If you have Poker Tracker could you tell me what your VP$IP, PFR and Total AF is?
Since you mainly play pairs, suited connectors, AK, AQ, AJs, KQs I guess VP$IP would be around 18%, PFR around 12% and AF around 4-5.
Question #2
I did not see any hands where you bet and bandit goes all-in or raises you for a big amount. I would love to see the thinking that goes on in your mind with this kind of situation when you hold an overpair, TPTK, 2 pairs or a set... If possible, could you explain what factors you consider beofre you make your move?
Question #3
Not really a question, but a discussion on Hand #12 I would like you to join.
I posted it on the forums (link). I would greatly appreciate if you could join and explain why you played it like that.

Hand # 12
Hero is SB with
Everyone folds, Hero calls, BB calls
Flop (Pot 20$)
Hero Bets 15
BB Calls 15
Turn (Pot 50$)
Hero Bets 48$
BB calls 48$
River (Pot 146$)
Hero bets 140$
BB Folds
Joe: Hero bets 140$. I prefer a value bet that he may well call with just a 9 and it is very hard for him to raise unless he has me beat.
