I watched the rest of the 5/10 Green Plastic session. In fairness to him, he did repeatedly state that he felt the check on the turn was a big mistake. He couldn't seem to get it out of his mind.

Nothing too eventful happened in that video so I decided to try one of his $10/20 videos. Here's a nice play which won him a good chunk of change.

The table is down to 4 handed and GP is in the BB with 6[s] 4[s] . The CO raises to 60, the button calls and GP calls.

The flop is 3[c] 3[s] 7[c]

GP bets 140 into the 188 pot. Both players call quickly. the turn is a 8[s] . GP now has the flush draw and the gut shot. He likes the card, and thinks of betting, but decids to check with the desire to check-raise most bets. The CO bets 220 into the 608 pot and the button calls. GP raises to 760. The CO folds, but the button calls very quickly. GP notes this and feels that because of the quick call he probably doesn't have a really strong hand. I'm guessing his logic is if he had a full house or even just a 3, he would be taking a bit more time to think about a possible raise.

GP missed on the river with the J[h] . The pot is now $2,348. GP has $1,000 left and the button has $870 left. GP decids to put the button all in and the button folds.

It looks to me that the guy had the 7 or a club flush draw. Perhaps he might have had a hand like AQ[s] and GP would have been in trouble if he hit his draw.

In this case his bluff on the river worked well for me and was consistent with his previous bets. Contrast this to the AK hand from my previous post where I think his turn check compromised his river bet.
