Excellent video, George. This replay format of being able to see all of the hole cards and analyzing even hands you're not involved in is a very effective approach to teaching the game. I've played less than a dozen hands of nl single draw lifetime and feel like this series has given me a much better idea of how to approach this game and what I need to be thinking about in any given situation.
Question: are there any simple mathematical principles one can utilize in 2-7 (i.e., similar to the "2-4" rule of odds calculation in hold'em) to understand the odds at play? On a related note, are there any tools or resources you'd recommend to improve one's understanding of this game?
7:00 If you didn't have the gutshot, how about a cold4 to 10400? You had a tight image as you said and you'd have to assume 810ofclubs is 3b/f a ton and OR is r/f 95%~~ish?
Risking 10.4k to win 6.2k seems okay to me, but might be a bit spewy too ;)
17:14 Calling 22xxx there seems really terrible, despite a 2CD behind. Surprised this happened at a Final table of 2-7.
George, I'm afraid that @SCOOP 2016 my edge on the field will be smaller. You're pointing out quite a lot of mistakes with ANY opponent on this final table 2y ago. Lots of great beginner advice and well spent 30min for me, well done!
I feel like you were correct first time around with the 98642 hand around 35:00. vs a jam you get 3/1 and so it seems like youre going to need to be calling way lower down in your range than tens/some jacks (instinctively it seems like K or A hi hands should be a better threshold to avoid overfolding). vs that range, Hundo is a pretty substantial favourite (he beats 80% of jacks or better, so I assume hes beating like 90% if you start calling worse). when he chks, youre going to bet maybe as low as about J6xxx for value? and maybe paired 4s and 5s to achieve a correct vbet:bluff ratio (willing to be corrected on combinatorics, but those are my first impressions).
Under these assumptions, xc captures around 75% of the pot for Hundo - he beats ~25% of bluffs and 69% of ur 75% vbetting range. .25+(.69*.75)=.25+.52=.77 or 77%. so for xc to outperform jam, he has to beat <77% of ur calling range. For that to be true, the bottom of ur calling range is around a rough J9, which also means ur folding like half ur range to a half pot bet, making jamming the better option exploitatively anyway.
Also, it seems like Hundo shouldve jammed his 9875x a couple hands before this, especially given stacks. Would you agree?
Really enjoying the video series, you're a fun guy to listen to.

George, if you have 2,3,4,5,6 -- do you discard 6 or 5? Thanks.
6 - you're going for the 7 or 8 anyways for nuts/strong hand. 9 or T, J smooth can also win vs weaker draws.
