It’s more than your average replayer video. In this $400 NLHE session (blinds are $2-$4), Janda is replaying every single hand where he voluntarily puts money into the pot. If you’ve ever wondered how those dollars just keep adding up, tune in for expert commentary on the small pots, big pots, and everything in between.

Here is some of the dialog from the video’s page on CardRunners:

Question: In spots like this where raising or calling does not appear to be more EV either way should we take the more dominant strategy of being aggressive and raise pre?

If the EV is the same then it doesn’t matter, so do whatever is easier or you think will be more beneficial to you later on.

For example, if someone folds to 3-bets PF too much, but I have a hand which is good enough to call even if it is the same EV as 3-betting (say they are both +1bb ev) then I would call since I plan to be 3-betting him nonstop in the future and want him to take as long as possible before he gets fed up and starts playing back.

There are a few general notions that work decently well in fish but I think are theoretically wrong. CBing small on all or most dry boards is one of them. If that flop hits our range harder than his and he usually calls a CBet no matter what our sizing, we either need to either bet the same size with our entire range or always bet small as a bluff and large for value which I’m not too fond of. So assuming 100bb stack sizes I would rather just bet bigger if the flops hits our range hard, and only alter my bet sizing against players who I know are pretty bad and it won’t matter.
