mersenneary 4-mans with a good friend "aqe" at the $22 level. He talks about some of the differences when playing against randoms from lower stakes, rather than randoms at higher stakes.

Hi mers, all good in Japan?Have a few questions::
1.20 How do you weight DB against cr?
4 Whats the math for it and how marginal is a call here? How short would you have made the call? If you would have bet 600 to rep the flush and he would have pushed over you, would you have snap called?
4.40 Why don’t you stab 86 on KK2?
05.25 Isn’t K5 to loose to call on 722 when there are so many T that he probably will barell? I see your reasoning in his big CB that he might want to have a fold. Would you be more inclined to fold to a ½ or 2/3 CB?
08.40 Would you ever consider flatting or cr KJ on 943?
13 Don’t you think it’s a loose call? your pretty much never far ahead and so many turns will be bad for you. Don’t think many players CB this board with air.
14 Why don’t you stab 74 on AJ6?
16.50 Is it to loose to push 55 at 27.5BB. I always openpush 22-66 at the ST (25BB).
19.15 Isn’t your 2x with Q3 at 14BB induce to much when you just sucked out on him two hands before and the last hand he open-jamed.
20.20 About limping. You said its better to limp J9 then Q2. How about limping junk and J9 hands to be able to play more potts? Is it “to exploitable” to limp all your junk hands and bet with them?
21.50 What about an go-and-go with KQ here to something like 300-360?

Lots of questions here that are tough to answer without going back and spending a lot of time looking at the context.
First of all, you note some spots in which I fail to donkbet OOP without showdown value - I think most of them are going to be good catches. People don't do this nearly enough given the percent of the time we need to get folds, and people don't contest limped pots enough.
I don't think openshoving 55 for 27.5bb isn't as good as minraise/calling. He may fold 22-44 to an openshove, and will very likely fold A4s type hands, which may jam over often.
As for limping junk, that's going to depend completely on your opponent's tendencies. It's going to be best against loose passive opponents who call wide OOP but don't contest much in limped pots. Against people who have a fold button OOP preflop, it's usually best to invest the extra BB and get more preflop folds.

I did nt get much from this video.
1)I did nt understand the concept with aqe.
2)I don't think it's your fault that i did nt take much.I think the hands that came on were not for big analusis and most of them were pretty standard.
