very good video again.
lots of interesting discussion in it.

but I think you should have gone deeper into the 2 pairing the turn.
this reduces his value combos a lot but its also one of the worst barreling cards in the deck (simply because it reduces his value combos ^^).
thats a very important aspect that you didn't discuss enough imo.

Odd people in the original thread want to bet/call flop and then check/call turn, can't villain just discount any draws in our range and only bet the river for value after we've let him free roll us with his equity by calling? I thought the entire point of bet/call flop, check turn was so we could check/raise the villain off his pot equity if he continues to semi-bluff marginal draws or get it in as a favorite if he bet/calls with his monster draws? bet/call, check/call, check/call and expecting to ever see a bluff is kind of wishful thinking, I mean who bothers to fold a pair there with that much $ behind on a safe river? Villain has to know our second call just commits us with a pair on a safe river, so all the call does is let him see the river at his price no?

another little thing:
would be great if you could give a short conclusion at the end of every video.
you talk about so much interesting stuff and at the end I'm like "ok, nice. and how would he play that hand again?"
just 2 or 3 sentences, for example in this hand:
"I would 3bet the flop small to like 28$ without the A of spades. As played I would shove the turn against this betsize and basically never call. If he bets bigger I will be very inclined to fold."
