The video explains why medium strength hands should sometimes bet rather than always check, and covers optimal strategies for different board textures while comparing button vs. big blind dynamics to under-the-gun vs. small blind scenarios. Always consider your entire range when deciding how to play a hand. In three-bet pots, medium strength hands like second pair often need to bet to protect your checking range from becoming too weak and exploitable.
