20:30-20:45: I really don't see the point of the call on the 3 diamond, 4 to a straight board against the weak-tighty who has CR and led into you on three streets. 120 hands is enough to get SOME idea of how villain plays and he's obviously not afraid of the board texture here. I can understand not wanting to fold with to possible chop but come on. A 21/15/0.76 isn't CR us on a draw a ton of the time...

I agree I probably could have gotten away from that hand when he bets so quickly.

We should arrange a home game with Bagroland and Gomer's Robot for the season finale.

By the way, I like playing a lot, too.

However, I still would not mind some academic powerpoint stuff as well. Or perhaps better than a powerpoint lecture would be a replayer hand discussion.

Maybe you could also ask Rob to return the favor and come on your show as a guest for something like that.

there are many player types.
you mentioned 3 types for reading flop peels.
LP,TAG, mr aggro.
Should we worry about other possible player types doing something else?
or for example, would a LAGTAG be similar to Mr Aggro?
and would a tight passive player see the flop like the loose passive?

I am attempting to compile a profile of as many player types as is needed to make good reads.
I want to be able to see the flop, turn, river..and how they think about bets as they do.
I actually plan on going into a very low stakes game, and playing as each different player type, to get a feel for what they see, and how they act and re-act to different situations.
any ideas or thoughts on this?

lol

Most excellent video, sir. You did exactly what I previously suggested, stopping the play and completely evaluating that hand. This is what I consider to be the very height of the opportunity these videos provide, an in-depth learning tool. The combination is tops, in my book.

Keep doing what you're doing here. I'm learning tons.

Thanks,

CJ

Personally, I loved the 50/50 style from your first season.

From this season (and Rob's MicroGrinder) I see a lot of talking about your opponents range, and what he might be calling/continuing on the flop with to help narrow his range and determine the correct turn play (and on to the river as well). I would love to see a more detailed breakdown of your thought process in powerpoint/replayer/pokerstove/etc for a 30-40mins and then some table play to see you put into action real time.

Win Rob's videos you guys got into some serious detail and I learned a lot, but it was all kind of abstract to me. Being the dorky engineer that I am, I like to see numbers and data. So, some numbers to back up your thoughts would be sweet, IMO.

But all in all, keep up the good work.... I'm liking it.

I like the mix you did in this session - about 20 minutes of classroom stuff after 40-50 minutes play with a detailed look at a single hand in the middle using the replayer. More like this one please.

Hello (new member here). I think this is my favorite series, great videos I love the insight. The dry humor inbetween is a plus! See you all around.

Hey Chuck, it's really cool that you want to get feedback and make videos with the format we want. I'll say for myself (and I think that many would agree) that the overwhelming consideration for me is that I want to watch videos that will improve my game. To this end the content is substantially more important to me than the format. If you deliver good content I will watch it whether it's you playing live, doing PowerPoint, singing karaoke (when are we getting that by the way?), or rhyming couplets.

I'm sure your concern is that you don't want the videos to be boring, but you didn't play at all in the first 4 episodes of The Price is Right, and I don't think you received any comments that it was too dry. And it wasn't - I learned a ton and I think a lot of others did too.

The bottom line is that I don't always know what's best for me. That's why I'm me and you're you. I'm relying on you to know what I need and how to best present it to me.

As always, thanks for the hard work you put into these - they are excellent.
