I hope you all enjoy this. This is obviously the first shot I've had at doing this sort of a presentation, so please be as critical as possible in your comments. I am extremely anxious as to how well this does, so the more comments the better. Please let me know what you think. 
Wow, just wow. Having seen the video, I've gotta say you guys blew my mind. This was one of the best poker videos I've ever watched, and to think that there's gonna be more makes me really excited! You're a truly excellent teacher; the way you presented and explained the concepts was flawless.
I really have just one question, concerning the 99 hand that Gman took us through. When we saw the river, my inclination was to check back because the only worse hand I could see us getting called by was an 8. Gman reasoned that we could get called by a 5 or even Ace high, but wouldn't even small stakes fish mostly fold those hands to a third bet? Should we really go for three streets of value with 2nd pair vs. this type of player?

Hey guys,

Nicely made, good commentary, but from you this is a waste of time, I want the top of your range, let others deal with the basic stuff.
There are just too many moving up series out there.

I think range flow chart is too black&white. What ppl often dont realise is that for ex on the turn he will like check KQ 50%, and bet it 50%. Thus having less combo's of KQ in either ranges.
But good visualization anyhow.
And a very very good video on poker learning in general
Looking forward to your next theory video

Could someone explain to a HU n00b the range flow-chart in question?
So hero has Jd7d, villain raises, hero reraises and villain calls with 22+, A2s+, 54s-KQs, 86s-KJs, T7s-KTs and further raises JJ+,AQs+, AQo+.
What kind of an opponent does this? Calls a 3bet with 54s but not with KQo? Is this realistic?
So we start narrowing down the range on further streets and action? If so, suddenly on the flop the chart shows AT, which never was included strangely (?) earlier. Neither was QT, KT.
Am I missing something here?

Simple answer - 86s-KJs was supposed to be 86o-KJo. With regards to the QT/KT, they're in T7s-KTs and 86s-KJs. He did leave out ATo, but it's near perfect otherwise.
It seems like you're looking at this as a platform for learning someone HU range, but that's not the intent of the range flow chart. It's just to give you that particular opponents range (thus the reason for the play), and a framework for learning how to read hands/narrow down ranges.

Yeah, sorry about that, I knew there was going to be something wrong with my flowchart. It took a really long time to make it because I kept making mistakes and finding crappy software, but all of those hands should've indeed been in that range. Chances are, if something's confusing, it's because I omitted it and I made a mistake. I wasn't trying to make a 100% perfect range analysis of this hand, just something that would let you guys see what is meant in the idea.
And yeah, marigoLd is correct in that there is some dilution of ranges because sometimes he'll check AT on the flop and sometimes he'll bet it, but for simplicity it's much easier to present this way and doesn't really affect the intended value of the model I think.
