Ok, I have to say this:
Just started watching this video, and, as I am always amused by the sheep-kicking trap door part ( I know, it is a sad life that I lead, at times! ), I kinda wondered hopefully if something different would occur for Season 2. You guys did not disappoint!
It's these little things that make DeucesCracked so awesome! 
So, I just wanted whoever it is at Deuces, that puts the extra effort into creating this stuff, to know... I LOLL'd!!
OK, now I can watch the video.
+1 for wondering where the trap door was and then being like ZOMG when [SPOILER] occurred instead

40min 469KQ you talk about how The CR from A7o is either from an bad player or a genious. Since you guys fall in the genious 10%, how often would you attempt a bluff like this? I have done it but more in a tilty way than a sophisticated thinking way.

Problem is you really really have to know your villain. I mean the number one mistake most players make online is they don't fold enough, so its pretty hard to think that we should frequently make a big play designed to get them to fold 
They also HATE betting and folding in the same street so that makes it even tougher. That said it can obviously be great to turn your made hand into a bluff in just the right spot. There was a hand from the season finale of Thug Life where I made a similar play on Hypnotic that they discussed for awhile.

great video and discussion. fwiw, ballzdeep makes training videos for stoxpoker and he's normally really solid from what i know. maybe he just happened to be on a rare "B" game this day for some reason??

I think he plays very well in general and played okay here (admittedly not great) except for the one wtf play at the end there.
I know I don't always play great, or close to it, either though
Oh My God I miss my uno cards!

yeah, pretty funny you guys didnt recognize ballz. fwiw i wasn't too impressed with his play here either, but he's certainly very good (although i think he feels more at home at a full table). everyone can come off looking a bit stupid in such a small sample (i certainly do
), and it's not like he was playing terrible anyway.
