DG starts out the video playing a very fast and aggressive style. He 3-betted a lot to see how his opponents would react so that he could gain reads quicker. His goal was to build an image and use the meta-game to his advantage later in the session.
The session consisted of 3 tables and a notepad on the side to keep track of his mental notes on each villain's action and tendencies, however small or seemingly insignificant it may be. He was able to pick up a lot of tells and build a good aggressive image over a small sample of hands. Hopefully we will get to see him put that to use in parts 2 and 3.
One interesting hand that stood out to me:
Folds around to DG OTB with K6hh and he opens to $6, SB folds, BB calls with KQdd.
Flop: KT6ss. BB checks, DG c-bet, BB calls
Turn: Td. BB checks, DG checks
River: 8c. BB checks, DG bets, BB calls.
This hand was played in a very standard fashion by the BB but DG said something that made a lot of sense. He said the BB played the hand in a very straightforward manner and probably pot controls too much. When DG checks behind on the turn, he almost never has a hand better than KQ. BB should have c/r'd the river for value to rep a missed draw and get value. I would have taken the same line as the BB, but I like the line DG recommended much more.
It will be interesting to see how DG uses the read he gained on the BB to his advantage in the next video.

Cliff Notes
- Pay careful attention and take lots of mental or physical notes
- If you are comfortable post-flop, it is probably better to start off a session aggressive so that you are the one in control of the game flow and can build an image/dynamic.
- Aggressive game play can also yield you much more information on opponent tendencies than a passive/straightforward approach.
- Try to keep one level ahead of your opponents whenever possible.
- Having a color code system that separates mega fishes from passive fishes is very useful.
