Beans The title for this video should be"From Bustoooooo to Robusto in less then an hour!"
Well done crunchy!
Donkadocus Learn to win a flip imo.

The peel with J6o seems spewy. It would be horrible to get owned by J8dd.
greves1 Cool video. I think it would be really neat to see a HU video series where both opponents make videos, so we get to see both sides. Think anyone can swing this?
ActionFalko right before I start watching:

I noticed one thing in the last couple of weeks.

The 2 by far best video producers get the worst ratings. Steel108 and aejones. Why is that folks?

Do you rate it so low so that nobody watches them and you can keep their stuff for your own?

Cmon guys.

It is spewy. At the time I'm making a video like this I was thinking to myself that I was trying to make prove points (in this case, I was showing that he shouldn't really be CR'ing with anything or shoving turn with anything, except maaaybe a flush draw; the problem is that I'm not even doing very good vs those!).

I think I've set the bar a little too high !
toocrispy greves:

I tried laying down live audio during this match, however it was the first video i have ever made, and thus the audio is really bad (a lot tougher than i thought it would be lol). Its also full of moments where i get pissed at aaron for min 4betting me (which as a side note was a HUGE part of the match where he owned me, my adjustments were awful) However, I might redo the audio part later.
InFlammable pritty unstandard video, which I like. Many interesting situations with good reads from both sides. Waiting for n2

Would you take the same line with KK and call the turn shove?
Sc000t We have the otherside to the video...and i think i have the HHs as well so even if the Crispys half of the video can't be shown...we should be able to look at the HHs...better than nothin.
Sc000t Besides Crispys side of the video is essentially:

I run well

aaron runs like a cripple

I'll ship

I'll get it in bad

I'll win


and repeat.

Hokiefan88 @7:55 you briefly mention "inflection points" when talking about you vs your opponents ability to read board texture. Can you elaborate further on that concept?

The inflection point is the amount of money you have to bet and the street you have to bet it on in relation to the board texture in order to get your opponent to fold his hand. It is based on previous and future streets' barreling opportunities. For the most part, inflection points are important against people who overvalue absolute hand strength. That, thankfully, is most people who play NLHE.

An example of an inflection point would be.. we're in position in a heads up pot. The flop is Q44r. Our opponent check calls. If we are just flat giving up here after that flop, our c-bet might be pretty bad since our opponent might peel all pocket pairs, all ace highs, and some king highs. Since most of his calling range preflop OOP has SD value, our c-bet is pretty bad in a vacuum. However, when the turn is a ten or even some middling card, he'll now fold those high card hands and pocket pairs, leaving him with a calling range of only top pair (two pair in this case). That might be a hand that he'll never fold, flop, turn, or river, to any bet amount. So, in this case, us betting two streets is VERY important (but not one, and rarely three). Inflection points are going to vary tremendously among opponents.

Super Tilting watching villain run so good... even if he is a leggo member.

TY 4 nuggets!

Lol at Micro stakes grinder flaming aejones for spewy play.

Props to Aaron for taking the criticism in stride and not just banning Donk 4 life.

Early In the video you state that it is your objective to 3bet the villain until you can get the villain to tighten his button opens mean while allowing you to open a 100% of your buttons.
After you accomplish what will your next couple goals and or objectives be?

Playing at lower stakes I often find this ez to accomplish with many of the regs and am able to do only 20 hands in the match. After they tighten up, I figure the next step to exploiting them would be to cbet and 3 bet with a higher frequency is this correct thinking?

Also how do you adjust to your 3betting ranges to a villain that over adjusts, and tightens there button opens to tight. Are we still able to 3 bet them with such a high frequency profitable knowing that there opening a much tighter range, and will be defending more often? (Basically how would you go about exploiting leather ass heads up?)

Sorry if these questions are a little broad.
