Hero sent me a big file of hands for me to post the interesting ones. Then I noticed that I'd play them all differently. Sometimes it's betsizing and stack-to-pot ratio planning, other times it's his decisions. So, everyone gets to pick his game to pieces is this multi-part series! I may have added 2 or 3 hands that I think he plays perfectly, just so you can't go crazy with nitpicking because you think something has to be wrong in every hand!

If you participate in these threads, maybe we can do you next!
