Why did you have to say "So let those aces, go"? 
I almost had my tilt level down to almost normal again.
Anyways great video, great series so far.
I can make a lot of use of it at the moment.
Thanks Tommy/Wayne/Entity!!! Can't wait to check this out!
I can't begin to express how important the piano interludes are to these videos.
I am confident that this is the video series that will lead to the biggest improvement of my winrate.
love this!
How is this not getting 5 stars!!! Are you kidding me guys?
It did feel a bit like a repetition of episode one. I don't particularly mind, since I believe in the value of repetition when learning.

Yeah there's definitely a lot of repetition from either the first episode or the preview thing. But I don't think that's a particularly bad thing either.

That's interesting. After you listen to something forty-seven times it feels repetitive, but I never got the feeling from one to the other we were repeating. We spent time in E1 listing the things we are going to talk about, and of course there is a lot of overlap between these topics.
Hope it doesn't diminish the value.
Now when I think about all my good stuff which added nothing but filler that got cut out really puts me on tilt.
We appreciate all comments, in case we ever lose our minds and do this again.

really good video and promising series thus far and as far as repetition goes it surely is positive.

This is not necessarily true. There's also relative position, e.g. you're in the big blind and the button raises, the small blind calls and you call. Since often the small blind and you check to the raiser you have the privilige of seeing what the small blind does after a continuation bet. In this case it could definitely be argued that being in the big blind can be better than being on the button.
Compare it to the cutoff raising, you calling on the button and the small blind calling, he now checks near 100% of the time and the raiser places a cbet, now you have no idea what the small blind is up to.
Although in most cases I agree that being last to act is a big advantage, just wanted to point out that this statement is not set in stone (like most things in poker).

Oh this is so true, especially in limit games (for me). If you say to yourself before betting "I am going to bet and fold to a raise" you will fold to the raise but likely pay it off if you hadn't promised yourself you would be beat if he raised.
