Hey OMG, really glad you enjoyed it!

The node-lock tool is definitely useful. My only points of caution would be to try to find something quantitative to back up your assumptions, and be careful about using a max exploit where the counter exploit isn't that hard to find. For instance, making minor adjustments to the PFR's node facing xr after cb can produce results as dramatic as 100% xr as PFC. While this might be profitable in a vacuum, you leave yourself vulnerable in obvious ways. Consider making your exploits more subtle. In less obvious situations, you can probably get away with the max exploit.

Anyway, that might be obvious but I wanted to point it out. I was worried that viewers might find my node-locking too assumptive in this video, but it's nice to hear that you found value in the practice itself.

Thanks for the additional insight, as well as the advice, Paul. And while it is definitely easy to get a bit carried away with the node-locking, I feel like as long as we don't attempt to emulate the results and rather seek to simply understand them, it is quite helpful to see what takes place at the extremes because understanding that helps us understand more about the optimal strategy. Sort of like the difference between only knowing what the color gray looks like, versus understanding what the color gray is because you are familiar with both the black and the white extremes of the spectrum, as well as the concept that the color gray is something like a mixture of some parts black and some parts white.
