    I really liked the video i thought there was alot of value in it. I can see how this is profitable against certain opponents who Cbet too often/Fold to raises without the nuts etc. 

    I have one question thought, With the hand of AJss when you c/r on the turn oop. Hypothetically when he calls you he should have top Pair KQ/QJ. I dont think he would call you with anything weaker and all the better hands would probably raise.

    So when he calls you. You must think he either has Pair plus Draw or monster with some showdown potential.  Do you have a plan for the river? or are you just firing with every blank/K/Heart?

    Would you shut down or bluff if the board paired the Q?

    I think we have to operate under the assumption that the opponent would continuation bet in position with most strong hands and monsters for value, especially with the high coordinated flop texture. Big hands are going to want to build a big pot.  
    This really is a diabolical play.  Once the opponent shows weakness on the flop, and we pick up this draw on the turn and are able to check raise, we can use pretty much the entire deck on the river to bet for value, or bet as a bluff.
    If Good_Tag decides to get suspicious and look us up light when we miss on the river, we have probably signed up a customer for life.

    I liked this vid a lot, so please contineu to do vids in this format .

    But I have a question on hand 2 on the River. Do you really think bluffing with missed draws is that good of a play, because when villian calls our Turn raise his range is pretty skewed(?) to made Hand that were too good to fold on the Turn and will likely call a normal River bet.

    I feel like the only way to make him fold out the weaker part of his Turn calling range is by overbetting the River, but I donot think this is really profitable because Villian can still have some monsters in his Range which he is certainly not folding.

    Love this video(and the first one in this series). Theoretical/philosophy videos like this is something I really like and It shows that you have a great mind and deep understanding for the game, it's really cool to analyze the hands on different levels like this. Great video and a great concept, keep up the good work!
