Mattryder, I agree with your post 100%.
As for the video, I like the idea of the three levels of aggression (aggressive, passive and neutral). I had not previously used the term neutral, but it makes perfect sense. I do find it interesting that in the final hand example, all three levels of aggression were used. This should be an a-ha moment for all who think that aggressive play must mean that we have our foot on the gas all the time, every time.
I do have a question however. In two of the videos, when it came to the turn, the hero did not raise using the familiar rationale that "only a better hand would call". When the river was a brick in one of that hands, why was this rationale thrown out on the river? It seems like we should not be waffling back and forth from street to street with our rationale. Otherwise we can fall into the trap of justifying any action we take.
