Wow^^
I would have a mental-strategic question:
I guess, it was painful to look at the fish`s stupid bluffhand when you in fact made once in a time Big laydown vs. a fish b/c of special assumptions/instincts in game....
What is your strategy to get focused and calm again during the session?
It is here hard after such a hand to suggest yourself the correct attitude/pokermindset -> so I would interested what so experienced players like you both a doing then, which works for them to continue short after this very annoying situation, focused, calm and especially confident again, expect of kicking or punching vs. something

You got to be kidding me, this cant be for real, is it? This nut flush ck back is prolly one of the worst ck back in poker history.
He obviously has AA-88 and will call a bet very often, sure every once in a while you get c/shoved on by a boat but it happens soooooo infrequently compared with the times he calls you.
What's the point of pseudo analyzing ranges for 20 minutes if you come up with a terrible terrible play like this?
Difficult to know whether the last sentence of your post is serious given your tone. DC generally discourages these types of posts.
The point of analyzing ranges is the same is it is on every other hand we talk about. This particular hand is a great example of a spot where in game I didn't analyze villain's range correctly at all.

Well, I didnt want to sound too harsh or agressive.
It's just I see everybody saying "wow great content" and everything... but I have to say I seriously disagree with the analysis in that hand; and even in previous episodes, I honestly think you are way off on several occasions, makes me wonder if you really play those games sometimes.
Checking back here is a terrible play, but thats ok, we all make mistakes and it can help when we spot them. I also think the whole analysis about this hand is wrong in my opinion and not just the final check.

aaron is a known mouse slammer 
I drop a few f bombs if the run bad gets really bad.
I def do some self talk to try and calm myself/refocus or play "tight" for 10 min or so. Theres lots of good stuff about tilt in the eight fold path.

Aaron and I are happy to discuss any hands that you disagree with. Please be more clear with specific examples. Also, try and think of it as a good thing that you don't necessarily agree with what we're saying. That's how we all get better by bridging those gaps.

if you find yourself disagreeing with us on the hand analysis often, that's a very good indication you have a lot of work to do and that you should keep watching the series and consider re-watch the previous episodes as well.
Good luck!

WoT can you give some examples of common spots where 6-max TAGS are missing obvious value bets? Thanks!
We will get into this some in the next videos, but if you have any specific value situations I'd be happy to comment on them.
In general, like the series has talked about going through all the hands in each range can hopefully open our eyes to spots where we should be getting value where others are not.
Of course though for this particular episode we included some hands that we weren't happy with how we played the hands in game.

This is without a doubt one of the best series DC has ever produced. Well done, gents. Yeah, the audio discrepancies are slightly annoying, but the quality of the content makes up for that thousands of times over.

wtf with this comment, just because you make a video for a pokersite dont mean that you hold the truth and people disagreeing are wrong.
Sure I have a lot of work to do, still I could teach both of you quite a few things about midstakes 6-max and how it plays.
I hope it doesnt turn into a dick contest.

Dakaj, I don't get it, instead of just 'claiming' analyses of various hands are wrong, why don't you start a discussion? Which hands are you talking about?

Because so much of his range is a weak overpair (or 88/99), what do you guys think of checking back any potential flush draws? I think if we bet this turn we have to fire through on the river and villain might make a few tough calls with something like 99 or JJ since there aren't all too many T-x/77 combos in our range and there a lot of semi-bluffs we could do this with.
We're unlikely to get a street of value with a FD when we bet the turn and then hit the river but we're very likely to solicit a call by checking back something like QJss on the turn and then betting a spade river because he would expect us to bet our semi-bluffs on the turn.
