Nice video, are there really players that bad playing $100 games ? (not you the villain obv) There are better players than him playing $15 games on Stars!
The hand where you had 89, and flopped the nuts, you said that his cbet should be strength as he had hardly cbet,so you thought you should maybe have c/r. I think it was more likely not to be, as he had checked down his nut hands, and obviously you had the board crushed, so I think check/calling was best in this situation as you did, and hope that he catches a piece.
Enjoyed the video, anyway, thank you, looking forward to more.

Thanks for the feedback, I still think that c/r would have been the best play though. He made some pretty light calls before this hand and I think he can peel all of his gutter+overs or maybe even just overs.
Another merit to check/raising is that if he has 9x or improves on later streets it'd be pretty disastrous not to get stacks in if he makes a straight, backdoors a flush etc because the pot on the flop was so small.
H2Olga brings a point up in one of his videos about how the eventual size of a pot is highly dependant on the flop betsize, so in the absence of reads that villain will bluff if induced, trying to get as much in there as possible is almost always going to be the best play imo.
