    Really great video. In my opinion you are one of the best HU coaches I have seen. Your range analysis is excellent and you articulate your thoughts extremely well. I'm looking forward to your future videos.

    Hey, excellent video...quick question at the 32 min mark you had J4 of hearts you called the 3B and the flop was AKx you floated with a back door flush draw because he isnt betting Kx and has even been checking his Ax on those flops. I like the float given this opponent but my question is... Can you explain why your turn bet was so big when his options are to fold, or call you with Ax or shove on you when he has some sort of poorly played draw. You bet 240 into 340 why wouldnt a bet of 140-150 in this spot accomplish the same thing please elaborate on this and why you chose to bet the size you did. I apologize for the broken english as well.... Thanks for the reply. Ross

    @fatboi Thanks much @rruby86 We need to be betting bigger because of effective stacks as that would be most consistent with our value range. Also, since the plan in this specific spot is to bet turn and not follow up on a lot of rivers, ~240 will yield more turn folds...don't want a hand like 99 getting curious.

    Son, they shook... 'cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks scared to death, scared to look they shook. Hey Asad, I'm guessing your a hiphop fan, love that song, Rly like your videos, I dont play heads-up but still feel like I've learned alot from them. I know your mainly a heads-up player, but i'd love to see some 6max vid's if possible. Peace

    At 11:56 you say that shoving QT there will weaken his range when he wants to flat hands like T8. How does jamming QT weaken his flatting range if he just flats all his pair + draw hands? Or are you saying that jamming QT and flatting T8 makes his range for jamming too weak?

    At 26:32 you talk about as stacks get deeper 22 is less of a flat from the BB because it is harder to get to showdown. This doesn't make sense to me as only so much money can go in in three streets, and it is less than 100bb barring overbets. Why is it harder to get 22 to showdown at 160bb than 100? All I see is the upside of greater implied odds for a set.

    One criticism I have (in an otherwise awesome video) is that you talk about players making the mistake of assuming other people think like them, but then you pull up notepad and start analyzing his range when he raised on QQ9ccd and just make a very unfounded assumption that he is probably going to use small diamonds as his main bluffing hands and actually consider the number of combos he is doing it with. This just seems like you are basing his range off what hands you would choose to bluff with but I wouldn't expect most bad regs to choose those hands.
