    Hey Niman, Great video as always! Just wanted to mentioning a couple of hands. About 8 minutes into the video, you shoved the turn with a pair of sixes and a flushdraw. What makes shoving a better play than calling? Are u hoping that i bet/fold something better than a pair of sixes? Or is the main reason that it is hard to play a river when you call the turn (because you range is capped) 26 mintues in when you tried to rep the backdoor flushdraw on an ace high flop. I had a hard time putt

    putting you on a hand here. Nothing kinda makes sense for me at least. I would expect you to bet most backdoor flushdraws on the flop figuering you don't have showdown value and good barreling opportunities. Also i find it hard to put you on air. In the end i decided that you could have a2 a4 a5 a6 aswell, but maybe that was wishfull thinking.

    36 mintues in. I think i was a little bit frustrated at this point in the match. Not too much though. Right before i typed that you run incredible, i actually made a big fold again to your river bet (aq, kinda top of my range) On the left hand table when the board came 564 4 10, i run a pretty bad bluff in my opinion (I had 79hh). I guess its not too bad consedering my solid image, but i dont like it very much since i don't rep allot of value hands and because of the short term dynamics.

    49 mintues in. The hand were the board was AAKKK , i don't think i like your river bet to be honest. Youre not getting me of the chop very effectively. Your ranges contains allot of missed broadway gutters/ hearts and counterfeited pairs. Also if you do bet you are opening yourself up to getting bluf raised (which happenend in this case actually). Like to hear so more thoughts about this.

    Last i wanted to comment about your statement that i was not agressive enough. My explanation for this is that I really had the feeling that nothing was working. So for long in the match i was figuering out if you played overly agressive (which i knew at the time isnt your game style) or just was catching allot of cards. Looking forward for the last part obviously:)

    Salvali,

    Great comments and questions....

    Salvali, Great comments and questions. First of all, I don't think that I said that you were not aggressive enough. I believe I said (and if I didn't, that is what I meant) that you were not too aggressive, meaning that you tended to play pots commensurate with the strength of your hands. Your style was less aggressive than most, but certainly not such that I thought it was in error. ... As far as the hands that you wanted to discuss, could you repost them in the thread that covers this

    that covers this video? If you do that, and if you also refresh my memory about the details of the hands that you want to comment on, I'd be able to speak in more detail. Thanks! P.S.: Part 6 was painful to record!! :)
