    great vid and great insight! the hand where u iso’d w 64o on the button, in that spot, and other spots where i 3 bet light and hit the flop, i tend to always want to bet my weak top pair, insted of getting to showdown, only because im afraid of letting overcards hit, i rather take it down right then. Any thoughts on that logic?

    Although in THAT hand, i prob check the flop, as to not got get c/r by flush draws, and then bet the turn when he checks to me again, just cuz most people know calling with a draw w one card to come is sucky.

    Would love to see the next vids u were talkin about, the missed flush draw value hands and blocker bet value hands. Thanks bigdog… Also, i hit u up on p5s, and u havent responded, 🙁

    Great video! Slow enough to comprehend, but not so basic that it would put us asleep. I really liked your thinking during the pocket 2-2 hand; the hand was specific, but your points were universal.

    I want to watch it again to grasp a few things that have me scratching my head right now.
    Great though, keep up the good work!

    Really good information…I think I would have viewed all of those situations as showdown value spots and gotten less chips..(except for the one we lost,which I would have value bet as well) Thanks for the inclusion of a losing hand where you don’t make a mistake…I look forward to more stuff…

    I have a question regarding bet-sizing on the Q10 hand. I’m wondering what the value is in check min-raising there vs raising a bigger amount. Some videos ive seen have players saying check min-raising is always giving up value and am wondering what your thoughts are. In this hand any raise by us on the flop will give the villain a small PSR, but he can still fold 8k to an open jam on the turn pretty easily. However if we raise to 3999-4299 I feel like we’re getting called by the same range, any 2 clubs, 88+, AK, and he will have a much smaller PSR with ~7k stack + 11k pot, and will have a much tougher time folding his medium strength holdings. Just wondering what everyone elses thoughts are on my line of thinking.
