Is it possible to change my username? I wanna be Bai-Grow Land. The shout-out after calling him a fish was awesome!
"And Bai Grow did call him down with the ten high. So, this is, ladies and gentlemen, a legitimate fish.
Bai Grow, if you're out there, 'Hey, no problem man!' you know, I was there at one point, too." Greatest comment EVER.
Disclaimer: Chuck, your videos are awesome. I've learned a ton and I think you have a great teaching style.

ok, I gotta rewatch this video later, cuz I'm laughing too hard to pay attention. We need Deueces Cracked hockey jerseys for the WSOP, so I can rock "Bai-Grow" on the back.
"Panda should bet any pair here. And check-raise a king, cuz he's awesome."
"And we flop the yahtzee. If you can see me on the other side of the screen, I'm actually high-fiving you right now."
And my personal favorite:
"How do you four-bet King Jack, Moo wants to know. And for you people out there watching... You actually click "Raise" after it's been three-bet to you."
Danza rules!

Heh, having watched just few minutes I gotta say I like it.
That hand where bigro and moo went berzerk with AQ and A2 on a A whatever board is somewhat of a typical scenario with bad players. It's not something they do all the time, but when I bet out all streets with AK on a Axxxx board against this type of player and get raised on the river I'm not automatically thinking that the villain hit his two pair on the river, but rather that he realized that he has pair of aces (though with no kicker) and "should be" raising. Again, I'm not saying that you should definitely call every single river raise from a bad player. Just that their line of thinking is so different from those that know how to play that it's sometimes dangerous to make too hard-wired assumptions.

Also, once again, single-tabling rules.
While many people realize that playing less tables is sometimes the right thing to do, I think the reasons are more subtle than just paying attention to other players. I think it has more to do with the way our brains and especially short and mid-term memories work. The so-called unconscious (not in the Freudian sense but the neuro-anatomical) works hard for us and gives insights that we are not always able to express in language.
If I ever write a poker book, it's going to be about applying modern psychology to poker. Last ten or twenty years has brought immense insight into how our brains work and I think most of us aren't aware of these results. Many of them are pretty directly relevant to poker, too.

danzasmack,
at the start of the video when you go through your stats set up, I noticed that you had a HU stat displayed showing fold SB to steal. Do you find this more useful than having the fold BB to steal displayed?

Yes I prefer it. A guy tight in the SB is usually tight in the BB (kinda) and I want to know how often I'm getting a put HU.

Ok so I'm not. Great video.

Chuck, I just wanted to give you more props on the jokes and the bai-grow-land thing. However, my favorite was actually the player at the first table three to your left who you called enig-mallet rather than enigma-let. I can't believe no one's brought it up yet.
I've always kind of wondered if DC members have a way of identifying themselves to each other - kind of a like a 2+2 sup bro? sort of thing. I think we may have found it.
I can picture a typical conversation at the poker tables:
Player A: "Bai-grow?"
Player B: "Enig-mallet."
Player A: "But how do you 4-bet?"
Player B: "You actually just click the raise after it's been 3-bet to you."
*and then the two players high five each other*
