Please get some more 6max NLHE coaches guys. I love this site but finding it very hard to justify my $100 a month. Ivey league is your main competitor for $30 a month and they have a 6max NLHE video every couple of days from great coaches like Zaza, Apothesis, AEjones, TheEnd,  and more. 

If i was a mid/high stakes PLO player the content would be amazing but feels like im paying a lot for the occasional sauce/peterjennings video. Great nlhe content for the essential membership btw

A 6-max video of pros, and maybe RIO members, playing a session together. You can make seperate videos in which two pros look at different parts of the footage, so you don't get 6 reviews of the same footage.

500NL and 1K NL Zoom videos. Sucks that Ivey poker signed Apotheosis and Zaza, who'd be perfect for that.

A heads up NL specialist who only does heads up videos.

NLHE by Phil! PLO is great too, but NLHE is still the best poker game around, imo.

Shorthanded NL play, so 3-4 players. For people who want to start games.

MTT has already a dedicated thread, can we add MTT stuff here instead of the lost thread in MTT highstake section?

Hi/Lo games, choosing board textures/hands to 1, 2 and 3 barrel

I'd really appreciate some essential PLO content on 3 betting from the blinds.

It gets me in some sticky spots postflop!

6m is almost too boring, just going 3-4 handed and HU is much better. I know it's a lot harder to get those running, but those are the best. I personally enjoyed the 8 game vids, but doing one video for mixed game is much easier to learn. It's hard to learn stud8, razz, etc all at once in an hr video.

more NLH 6m, HU, theory please

on 10/40 videos out this month have been NLH and a few of these were part MTT

i get the appeal of adding more "other game content" but please don't do it at the expense of the core game i suspect most of your customers play and pay to learn more about

Thank you for the suggestions.  We are paying close attention to this and will be adjusting accordingly.  Please keep your thoughts coming.

Arnaud Lafaurie - either thread should work.  If you had an idea specifically for an MTT video, I'd suggest posting in the other thread, though posting it in both couldn't hurt.

NL videos on how to play AQ/AK in 3-bet pots where you miss.
When to show down Ahigh in single raised pots. I often check back Ahighs on dry and c-bettable board, and I feel like I turn my hand face up, and get run over by aggressive players.

And again, NLHE by Phil.

Coach request: Pro or Semipro low-mid stakes player on Bovada. IveyLeague has one...

I'd be interested in seeing how some of the top pro's use
HM2 to work on their game away from the table.  HM2 seems to be such a
powerful tool, and I can't help but feel like I'm only using it to 5% of
its capacity.

One about HUNSG will be nice, ty :D 

Keep 'em coming guys. We're listening.

@chael - Workin' on it :)

A FR SNG series/crash course for essential subscribers would be amazing.

- It would be cool if Phil could could review some of his older most interesting  HHs against Phil Ivey and Isildur1.  

- RIO needs more 6max nl specialists  because Zaza and Apothesis at Iveypoker are currently the nuts when it comes to this content. 

I wouldn't be opposed to being a part of a dual commentary type video or of a video where I'm playing against other pros.

Also, 4-betting and 5-betting math/frequencies, and math on how to play against shortstackers.

A leak find and database analysis for MTT games? specific stuff to look at?

3-4 Handed NL Midstakes + Devolping x/c-Ranges in 3bet-Pots

4 Entertainment All-Star HA Game or smth like that would be fun to watch

PLO Zoom, low-stakes, 0.05-0.10, 0.10-0.25, 0.25-0.50 or just zoom at any stakes. Another idea could be a vid on PT4, which has already been mentioned in this thread. It would also be interesting if you had a couple of low-stakes winning regs who are familiar with the player pools on the before mentioned stakes. 

Team RIO is making sure to pass along all the requests to the pros who can best accommodate them.

I'm not an experienced enough HEM or PT4 user to make videos on them, but otherwise I feel like I can tackle a lot of things you guys would like.

What requests do you have specifically for me? (Or for anyone, but that you think I could do well)

Just off the top of my head, but how about a conceptual vid about when and why to (or not to) barrel turn in PLO, both IP and OOP?  I think you can make a similar vid as "raising the turn" series, which was excellent.  Thanks!

Hi i would a video about the perfect MTT HUD ! There aint no one really

MTT videos focusing on pokervariants other than NLHE

I think it wouldnt hurt to see MTT concepts, I know everyone will say "you got that stuff out there allready" at other sources, but poker is everevolving and it would for sure be great series.

Me and my friend were talking about training sites the last time and we came up with an idea which was that it would be the greatest thing if we could get our hands on MTT overall strategy from 3 different type of players (very solid, TAG, LAG) and an extra on MTT math stuff, this would totally kill it imo,  it would give you everything you need to adjust since now you would know in more detail the strengths and weaknesses of each style so it would give you great knowledge in developing a style of "no style", where your style depends more on conditions that on being stubborn and doing "your" style everytime.

As someone mentioned somewhere before, I would love to see a new version of your epic philosophy series Phil!

More HUNL/HUCAP/6max holdem CAP videos. And most MTT elite coaches are quite good but there are no really outstanding guys most of them were quite good a few yrs ago.

More and more Phil/Ben HUNL live session videos. Sauce v Syous was one of the best videos I've seen, keep up the good work guys!

More 6max NLHE videos please.
There is a serious lack of them and it always seems to be a PLO or MTT video every day.
A sauce123 vs Lefort video would also be something special.

Live low stakes hu zoom plo.

i posted this already somewhere else but i guess this is the right thread for it!

I just watched James
Hudsons new video about finding leaks in HM2
(http://www.runitonce.com/pro-training/videos/-23/ ) Even though I have
never really played NL Holdem online I think it was a great video and
there was so much useful info in it. Thank so much for it!

I thought it would be amazing
if one of the coaches could do a similiar video for low stakes PLO!!!
It would help so many players finding their own leaks, spots to improve
on and finding leaks from others that can be exploited!

Sauce sweating Phil heads up No Limit.  

As an Essential member mostly interested in PLO, I miss Sam Lang’s videos. Any new content anytime soon?

I'd like to see a concept video for MTT's where the instructor sets up a certain board/hand that could get tricky or marginal, however you want to phrase it ...

And then the instructor would go into which line he would take vs. different types of players but using the same exact hand as the model, if that makes sense.

Like, you could describe which line you'd take vs. a fish, TAG, LAG, top reg, etc. using the same stack size and board but not construct a simple enough hand where the answer becomes "fold" or "shove" vs. most villain types.

The recent James Hudson video on analyzing HEM database was great. Can you make more of this.

If possible a series where we at home would be working on our own databases and try to find leaks. If would be great to know where to look for, what the optimal is and how to fix leaks when we find them.

PLO 6-max/Phil:

Exploiting small edges in tough games. Where to look for leaks in good regulars.

for PLO, much less zoom and more play on sites other than Stars/FTP.
more live play+live commentary vids.
more concept videos like BTN vs BB, BB vs BTN play, 3betting OOP etc

I would like some proview type videos of pros reviewing microstakes nlhe, preferably on US facing sites and preferably done by James Hudson.

Could you do a 6max Cash (100-400nl) video about flatting 4bets in+out of position, its something i have next to a zero range in my game, (almost exclusively 5bet shove/fold).... id like to know a better players opinion, of when it (seems) correct to do so vs 'villain' i.e. what stat criteria we should look for in villain, our hand/positions/stack depth/game dynamic etc....

High stakes 2-7.  I like.

I would appreciate a NLHE concept video talking about the NSDW and how they should look like when trying to develop a more balanced play.

Thanks for asking!

Phil Ivey vs Phil galfond Headsup4sites! They can play 1 table of 50/100 stud, another of PLO, and another of NL so they both get to play their most prefered games. Only kidding about the sites part but it would be great to watch. 

Would most love to see a 6max NLHE video with 6 RIO pros all of which make a video each so we can see hands from all of their perspectives

a full hand review from Sam Greenwood with deep investigation of key hands and/or hands where we not only speak about the hand but the range in each situation taking into account stack size, opponents ect ect...and the EV of different lines we can take OR a live sweat with different tourney stage where we can see the live thought process.

more MTT from Brian Yoon, Jason Koon, also Nick Rampone after his great hand review I'd like him to make MTT concepts vids, and looking forward to Fedor Holz next vids

MTT leaks finding on your own, some guidelines to proceed after session, what to do that is really important, tools to use, key parameters to check in HM2/PT4 especially for MTT.

set up vids :P

Badugi variants (-acey; eucy) basics video.

Hi Ben,

I have an Elite Pro membership on Run It Once and would love to see a video of you playing something like 50/100, 100/200 or 200/400 NLH against the likes of Katya, Forhayley, Kanu, Fish2013, Ike etc.

If you could bare this in mind for future video creations that would be great :)

...

Something I would be interested in is to see Phil or Ben take a look at some footage between some of the top NL players at the highest stakes.  I don't mean footage of Phil or Ben actually playing, just random footage of the matches from a railbird type perspective.  

Obviously we wouldn't be able to know a lot of the hole cards, but what I'd like to see is the speculation of what some of these top players might be doing or trying to accomplish with their choices in bet sizing in certain spots, or speculation of what they might be holding in certain spots and why.  And of course analysis about what you think about the hands that do get to showdown and what types of implications those things might have for those players' overall gameplan and strategies.

In genral terms Sauce who is your toughest opponent at high stakes? 

mplecki23 dude text em

text me dog, 

In terms of MTT I think a video of re-stealing spots, specially from early position, considering stack sizes, HUD statistics would be great. Also, how to respond (and balance the responses) to decisions when players take to long (time bank+) playing cash and mtt games. 

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the reply, appreciated.

Yeah I understand totally why it would be hard for you to make such a video for the reasons you mentioned. Also, I'm under no illusion that educationally I wouldn't get a lot out of it, I have a tough time understanding some of Phil's range building videos with all the maths explained. But as you alluded, to it would be for pure entertainment, for me anyway. 

After watching the latest thinking out lout(episode 2) some more videos that emphasize sheer math would be appreciated.

A video on which pairs in your range to c-bet OOP on the flop, or check-decide.
When to check-call middle pair no kicker, good kicker. When to check-call top pair, monsters etc.

Would be great to have one or two mentor series. Someone like Sauce or Phil helping s player up the ranks. Watching vids of you guys play is great but seeing how you would mould "x random player" to play in the way you would want him/her too would likely be incredible value for the viewers. 

purecash25 live recording session! 

Maybe also get Sam Lang to do a new video if he is still one of your pros?

Any chance for some mix game videos at the essential level?

I would like to see some top players come together and provide a 1 hour video that helps SSNL players, who know some basics have their ABC profitable games, but are looking to take their game to the next level.

Say you had to start over as a successful player now at highstakes, you could play a few hours every day, but you only could study for 1 hour a day, what would this hour consist off, what would the ingredients be, would you spend this whole hour going over your own game and working on balance and where you aren't playing well, would this be 30mins that and 30mins looking at your opponents and analyzing them looking to where you can set up your range better to play better against them? I am just looking for some kind of structured approach, you hear everywhere study, analyze, watch videos, sure but what would you think work most efficient towards a great poker player if he had only 1 hour to spend on studying each day. 

This would be a great 1 hour video!

Pre-flop 4-betting and 5-betting math in NL, how to play against shortstacks.
Theory on overbetting on flop and turn.

With WSOP fast approaching I'd love to see some concept or HH review of live full ring PLO, and the adjustments needed in these games coming from an online background. 

I'd like to see more concept vids as already mentionned in MTT thread not only by me. essential vids are only HH review based, and recently elite as well. Overall approach to MTT, strategy, ranges, opponents, working on MTT outside table, key concepts, CB or not regarding turn cards, tools to use, flopzilla, range construction, Blind defense, build image, hand reading I don't want to put all the ideas already mentionned in the MTT thread but there are a lot. would be good to see some implemented on essential as well as on elite membership

thanks

Full ring and 6 Max tournament PLO

I would love to see a video series that revolves around a philosophy of how RIO pros go about studying their game. What is your process? How much time do you spend learning theory? How much time do you spend reviewing your own hands? How much time do you spend studying in comparison to playing?

Basically, I'd like to get an idea of RIO pros' mindset when it comes to improving. I believe this will help to empower us members to go out and study on our own with a refined focus.

Thanks!

I also very much agree with John-Christophe Saint-Pierre about HUNL Cap videos. A video series on 30bb HUNL would be very useful. I don't think I've ever seen a HUNL Cap training video.

what about a RIO MTT School serie where each of the RIO pro essential & elite will bring a topic and make a vid on it, I don't know like a serie in 10 parts that will bring the ten most important concept to master in MTT. 

More 6max NLHE videos please. 
There is a serious lack of them and it always seems to be a PLO or MTT video every day

Thanks for listening RIO.
I will definitely consider signing up for an Elite membership now as a low stakes player.
The new and more frequent NLHE cash game additions look fantastic. It is completely blowing every other site out of the water.

However, it would have been nice if one of the new additions could have been added to the "Essential" rooster. Right now the Essential NLHE content is extremely poor (excluding Felipe).

Could the Essential members possibly get a choice of 1-2 Elite videos a month other than Phils/sauce?
This would make me really happy and I wouldn't be able to find a reason to ever cancel my subscription again.

No limit 2-7 triple draw! 

and Limit Holdem:)

A video all about bet sizing in HUPLO, i feel like i'm leaving a lot of money on the table (or in my opponent's pockets)

have tollerene do one PLO vid

Topics

1. Defending BTN vs BB 3bet

2. Defending BTN vs SB 3bet

3. Defending BB vs SB Steal

more mtt hh reviews with 2 coaches commentating/discussing , like the ones with phil+jkoon or rampone+fedor holz, i think those are one of the best mttvids here

How about a series of videos for essential members dealing with FREQUENCIES

I'd like to see something on reacting to 3-BET specifically for MTT especially calling ranges, I watched some video in this topics for cash game but I don't see too much on MTT. in a more general topics I'd like to see something on blind attack & defense by stealing/restealing  (non shove or shove). strategy vs position/stack size, constructing range and make some calculation dedicated for MTT 

thanks

I'd like to see some sessions played on Anonymous tables and also one on building your game from the ground up. ie what it takes to break into small/mid stakes.

Just want to agree with everyone above that RIO is def the best site around.

Thanks!

me and many other members would like to see a NLHE video with spots/strategies after calling a 3bet OOP. (prefered midstakes + hands)

also i see a highstakes zoom plo vid coming like every 2nd day, maybe the master could for once jump in nlhe zoom for the fans.

If possible for us essential members, is there anyway Tom Coldwell, or any of the pros for that matter do a Heads-Up Series? Or even just a single video.

Okay, thanks for the honesty Tom! I just wish there was a essential HU Pro, but a lot of the hand reading stuff relates to HU anyways.

A video purely about oop play bvb in singleraised pots.

When to barrel, when to give up.

like A4 on KJx what turns can we barrel and TJ on 42A etc. Would like it to be purely about these annoying spots when its close. We all know to barrel turned FD's etc

Can we have some 2/4+ vids non zoom? NL and/or PLO. Zoom is so boring with being more gto standard crap. More real poker involving reads and adjustments. The stakes don't matter to me so if some 500 zoom guy just does a multiparter at 50nl and just give reads and adjustments on regs as play progresses

Non-zoom NL content would be very appreciated.

HU NLHE content would be even more appreciated.

Something I think it is missing at MTT videos is how to approach satellites, even hyper-turbo ones or usual tournaments and how to change the general MTT strategy to it.

no more plo zoom vids please

I think a series of videos where a seasoned pro teaches another pro a new game or game type would be very interesting. The player learning could ask questions that every beginner has in mind, and it could spark very interesting conversations, aswell as underline key concepts while learning the new game.

Something along the lines of the Whitelime videos P. Galfond and Selbst used to do on another training site back in the day (DC/BFP), where they would teach Whitelime/Emil P., an NLHE specialist, how to make the transition to PLO.

However, instead of reviewing sessions, it could be done live (I'm not sure how much harder it would be to make an instructional video live).

It wouldn't have to necessarily be PLO, but it could be HUNL, HUPLO, 6-max PLO, razz, stud, 2-7 draw, etc.

On another note, HUNL videos are always welcome.

Interesting topics could be leak-finding against regulars, or any HUNL video from Ben (Sauce) or PhilG.

i find that one of the problems i have with nlhe hand review vids is that i find myself agreeing with whoever the pro is w/o fully thinking through what he/she is saying... Is it possible that we could have an essential nlhe video where the pro posts the hands in a thread beforehand for us to jot down our thoughts prior to hearing his/her thought proccess

I would love to see a plo 6max-concept video on how to find leaks in your HM2-database/ in general work with HM2 as a plo player!

What about a recording of a members live sweat and the coach commenting on this? Rather than the pro commenting on his own play? Could be interesting. Happy to be the guinea pig for MTT vid :)

I'd like to see an elite video with some guidelines on building continuing ranges (fold, x/c, x/r) when OOP for flops in wide range situations.  Like BB v BTN.  For a few different flop textures.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--u3vyzyyIs

I would like to see a video like this with 2 pro or 1 pro and RIO member going through a hand review.  I used to love these vids 

PLO: 3 barrel bluffing light boards like 762s/964r

how to play against weird lines used by fish. I try to use your concepts and try to work bluffs but a lot of the times they don't work. ANd sometimes its kind of hard to figure out how the opponent is thinking. And sometimes you don't hit hands and these fish just keep calling and calling. And when you have a hand your getting coolered. Its almost like your not going to beat them because of the variance. I usually beat them but sometimes I run into a player and hes so odd I can't pick up on what hes doing. constantly donk min betting and you raise he either calls or re raises. ANd its really awkward spots. I would like to see a video against it doesn't even have to be a fish but just a very unorthodox player your having a hard time getting a read on.  I don't see as much standard play anymore I see a lot weird stuff these days that I don't see in the poker videos very often. I saw one on another poker site and that was it. Its cool to learn how to play regs but we seen so many videos on them I would like to see some against different fish. They are tough to play when variance is not going your way.

Can we please get non zoom PLO? We've had solely zoom content for 3mos+ now. The last non zoom/hu I've seen was Isildroon playing 3/6 deep which is awesome, but he gives specific reads on the two regs he's playing against. This kinda sucks bc A. It probably really hurts Isildroon to give those reads in the long run and B. we didn't see how those reads are formed. I know firing up some zoom is easy, but it'd really like to see a low stakes non zoom multiparter where we can develop reads and try to play a very exploitive style. This solves both A and B.

Isn't there a pro who would be able to do a vid about PokerTracker 4 and all the cool things you can do with it? I only recently purchased it and I feel like I've only scratched the surface of all of the functions. Please. 

HEADS UP CAP PLEASE!!

Ugh I'm losing my ass in PLO8 lately.  Are there any plans to have some PLO8 videos made?

HU Zoom NLHE and HUSNG, maybe something related to the differences between then, the adjustments on constructing our ranges when playing 100bb cash vs 75bb reg/turbo speed and 25bb deep on hypers or superturbos. 

I would like to see more micro stakes videos for essential members. Not like 2nl but more in the range of 10 to 25nl. Ether full ring or 6max is fine. 

Would be nice to compare the difference of Nl10 and Nl25 cause it seems  to be the biggest gap in skills.

Thank you :)

You often hear RIO PLO instructors saying "this is very close" or "I think I can widen my range against this specific opponent by x %". What about making a video series about adjusting PLO ranges to specific opponents? Load it with math and PPT, and show why specific ranges should do x. Would be great, if you could make it with out hole cards. For instance look at a preflop situation where 30/20/8 CO opens, and you are BTN. Make ranges for fold, call and 3b. Then make ranges again OTF etc. Afterwards take the same situation with deeper stacks, different stats, aggro blinds etc.

Some concept/play videos on how to build ranges OOP and how to play marginal value hands.
Also, building a gameplan with the little leading strategy that's been getting used a lot lately.

Would like some 180 man MMTSNGs or smaller field tournaments like 500 cap 1000 caps.

Also, more smaller to mid stakes MTT's would be great!

I would like a Video, where EV Calculations are shown, in all areas, how to calculate, when a bet is more profitable than a check, or how to calculate, if a 4bet is profitable(Villains folds enough, or folding and shovingrange kombined etc), if a shove is more profitable than a call and so on.

sickening how everyone just makes plo zoom videos, regular table vid please!

I know there has been some interest expressed in some Bovada content.  I play on Bovada and would love to see some videos of like 100NL 6mx and 200NL 6max.  Since the tables are anonymous you are playing in more of a vacuum so I would be interest to see how the pros adjust and what their advice would be as far as playing on the site to maximize your earning potential.

You can only play a max of 4 tables cash so I would also be interested to hear what they would say as far as BRM on there.  COuld you be a little more aggressive if you had the discipline to move down or what?  I play with around a 30BI BR on there but it does seem one could be very aggressive with their BR and make very good money very quickly but on the flip side they would have to be disciplined enough to move down when that shot at the next limit didnt work.  

Id love to make a BR challenge on there from $1500(50NL) which is where Im at now and run it up to

10k which would be my shot time at 400NL.  I think this would be awesome to do and who cares how long it took  to do because the whole point would be to have an audience to keep you from imploding the BR and grinding it up for the community.  Maybe donate something to charity if I did it in a certain time RIO?  

Anyway, I just think these are good ideas because they would benefit the US state of online poker currently.  Plus its the softest site on earth I think    :)

Need Bovada videos, can't believe you guys haven't even addressed this.

5/10-10/20 Bovada vids please and thank you!

-turbo MTT strategy

-Following Realizing your equity Lucas Greenwood vid by examples

-MTT post flop play vs Stack, bet sizing vs stack (CB)

- developing method to be good while playing for hand reading or identying quickly lines-tips & examples

- profiling opponents beyond hud stat which are most of the time in MTT not big. which kind of things to consider-note taking

- Step by step database analysis and leak finding for MTT

- Stealing/blind defense (3b, flat, ...)

I like the idea of home work like sam Greenwood end of last 2 vids. would be interesting to have a vids with like 5-10 hands to focus on a topic and then let people think about it and then make an "answer vids with details analysis or how to proceed to make it)

General list of suggestions for training videos:

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but for a while I've been thinking about this. Most training videos that are 50 mins long can really be condensed to 5-15 mins of actual worth. Not that I don't appreciate the elaborate thought process, but I feel that as an middle to advanced MTT reg, most videos should be done after the presenter has actuallly has made a script of what he has to say.  Think of it as a commercial, not a lord of the rings trilogy.

Here is what an ideal format of a training video would look like to me.

a) Presenter has an already written script of the video (basically means he created 5 versions of video before this) and finally edited it down to one if necessary.
b) Video has a clear theme, which is laid out at the beginning at the video. Eg of themes: Preflop analysis, Hand history of Big $162.
c) No rambling or dwelling on the same points again and again. Saying the same thing 5 times, does not add any value. THis is very closely linked to a) If you did multiple versions of the same video and then selected the final version, it will have 10x impact.
d) Time is of the essence. There is so much content available to all subscribers, that as one, I want to find the best use of my time, and even if the content is dense, I rather 3x watch a 15 minute dense video (because every subsequent watch makes the content more permanent in memory), than watch once a 45 min rambling version (which has good content but in spurts and not all of it is good.

I want to say again that I'm very grateful for all the presenters/trainers/coaches doing what they are for us. These are only suggestions as to what I personally like stylistically.

Thanks!!

Hey guys, 

To address a couple points:

Non-Zoom videos are tough for me personally, as non-zoom doesn't run at higher stakes.  I prefer to play higher stakes in my videos because when I sit lower, everyone knows I'm recording a video and I feel that it affects the dynamic.

Bovada - I don't play on Bovada, so jumping into a game there is something I could do, but I would not have any insight into how people play, and I don't think it would be of any more value than me just playing on Pokerstars.

Do you disagree?

If you play HU PLO50 Zoom or just some randoms at PLO50, then I don't think most of them will know you are making a video ? Alternatively you could make a new screenname at one of the smaller sites.

Either way it would be nice to see you play max exploitively against some people who take a lot of odd/bad lines. As you face c-c c-c donk etc. a lot more at those stakes.

I think concept replayer videos would  be nice too.

Fx. Just taking your last 20 3-bet pots in and out of position, including folds preflop and on the flop, so you don't miss the really standard spots, that obviously will add up if missplayed.

Congrats on the Scoop btw :)

I would love to see some 4card PLO8, (there isn't a single vid  i can find covering this game despite regular cash game traffic on all sites and daily/weekly mtts on most sites.)

I'd like to see a replayer vid of tough/close folds in mid size/ bigger pots. Something like 5-10 hands where your in a tough spot w a bluff catcher and you break down which button To click. In mistakes nlhe

anything 1/2 up to 10/20 PLO on bovada would be interesting

I'd really like to see a concept PLO video where you cover a lot of the preflop stuff, playing against 3bettors in and out of Position. Calling 3bets, 4bet/calling, 4bet/folding, troublehands vs tight guys, hands that you rather take flops with etc. and how you would adjust between fairly active 3bettors and nitty 3bettors.

Phil, I think from your videos we can learn a lot about 3betting and being in the aggressive role, but theres some room for teaching the passive one, that is reacting to 3bets. IN your live videos, whenever theres the option to talk about it you do and you come up with a perfect solution, so I'm sure you know a lot about that stuff, so It would be great to have a lot of these thoughts in one video. If you don't have the time for it atm maybe you can encourage one of the other good coaches to talk about this topic, as a Plan B? :-)

Someone please do a 2-4 tabling 200 plo session on bovada with the anonymous tables #4theMericans

Also +1 to Some PLO8 videos

mix game series one time with reviews from the stud8 win and o8 + razz scoop hi fts from andy mcleod

5 card PLO is insanely fun, to me at least - maybe jump into a game of it on stars and pick out some of the best/funniest hands to review? Might be interesting to look at how the concepts from NLHE and PLO carry over to this game. 

Would also be interested if you have already tried 5/6 card PLO and whether you think it has much of a chance of gaining popularity in the future or if there are some major drawbacks that I'm not aware of.

Awesome site btw!! :)

All these posts asking for the cool Omaha variants make me wish I had played them more. As a viewer, I +1 all of them: PLO8, NLO8, 5O, 6O etc. would be awesome!

I know Chael mentioned it at the beginning of the thread, but just wanted to mention it again: Shorthanded NL play - HU and 3/4-Handed. Starting tables is a good thing.

Also - a video on an instructor's thoughts about having an open-limping strategy in the small blind perhaps? Positives, negatives, when it can be a viable option, etc. (Doesn't need to be super long and go into tons of detail, but it sounds/looks like a very interesting style to have).

Love the site.

A video on ante up NLHE tournaments. These tournaments are really soft, because most of the players don't know how to adjust to the format. So a video on how to exploit players, who don't adjust to the format correctly, would greatly benefit the members greatly.

I think the last 10 videos has been Zoom PLO, i would love to see something else then  Zoom videos . HH reviews, live session watching someone else play, HU PLO  anything but ZOOM

I came to the thread with the same idea that Andreas expressed. vast majority of latest plo\elite videos are zoom and I'm not sure, but its unlikely that there are more zoom vs regular tables regs.

HH reviews or any non-live analysis would be great. 

so yeah, anything but zoom, pls  

Just wanted to say thanks to Durian for doing some non zoom PLO!

I would love to see some 8 game or 27TD content from Phil.

+1, more 2-7 Triple Draw videos mid and high stakes cash

Hey guys, a lot of us would be coming to Vegas for the first time for the series..would be great to have a video on preparing mentally for the long grind for first timers..some Dos/donts...first time experiences..tips etc Thanks

Is there any 8game essential videos to watch? Thanks

Some NL25 or NL50 Six Max content would be nice for the Essential Membership oiks. There is quite the dearth at present. I don't expect there to be a perponderance of such videos, but keeping in mind the Essential Membership is a mere 10 of your fine (but unsecured)  American Dollars, and this being a fraction of a single buy in at the aforementioned levels of the No Limit Holdems I think the absence of such video content is conspicuous. If there's no plans to include such videos then perhaps an explanation would be fitting. Thank you and good health.

No essential plo video this week?? Seems like their is at least one video everyweek for the most part.

I would appreciate some essential videos on playing 3 bet pots in 6 max PLO, which concentrate on postflop, both in and out of position. I understand this is a wide topic and may take a few videos. But I think it would be beneficial to the essential members, as 3 betting is becoming increasingly frequent at the lower stakes.

an idea that just pass through my brain :)

a MTT masterclass where 5 essential pro+5 elite pro make each one a vid on a topic that they consider important to master in MTT. each vids can be a start to go deeper on our side.

haven't seen anybody else post about this, so perhaps I missed something. is phil planning to release an essential vid for may?  

More "how to study" off the tables with PLO.
Preferably something similar to what Sauce did with his Toy-gaming series, or Leforts theory videos.
Also more in depth odds oracle videos.

Phil,

Please do a $10K SCOOP ME review!!

I would love a video where the math behind late regging/rebuying/add-on gets explained, in mtts like action hour, 1r1a 3r1a etc

I'd like to see some videos focusing on Flopzilla.  I've had the programme for ages and I've barely used it so something explaining how to get the best out of it would be good.

The MTT roster needs some help. There have been heaps of cash game players added recently but tourney players need some too. players crushing 2013/2014 that people are going to be excited to hear from. also, more content from the existing sickos would be nice. Maybe a 6 table prerecorded scoop/sunday review from Jakoon. i think he only has single table reviews so far. maybe some more mix game stuff from stevie and james. HU/shorthanded play, defending the bb vs diff positions at diff stack depths, 3b pots ip vs oop and adjusting strategies vs diff sizings. more duel commentaries, more examination of specific spots and less general review that sometimes ends with comments like, well not much happened that hour.

     The addition of subtitles to the videos, while it may be difficult, could help alot of things too. I think sam greenwood makes really good theory vids but some people skip them because they cant understand him (especially people with english as a second language). Theory vids from some other MTT guys would be a nice blend too.

OK - I am just going to be greedy here and give a kind of "wish list"

Ben Sulsky - any type of theory videos he would be willing to do.

Phil Galfond - also any type of theory videos he would be able to do.

Peter Jennings - more Proviews! or session reviews.

Dear Parker Muir could you please do a few more ProViews? More theory vids would be cool also - that Calling 4bets OOP was excellent.

Tyler Forrester - Any crEV vids!

Nick Howard - A deep range construction video for playing OOP as the pre-flop 3 better. Or a ProView from you would probably be very cool.

Well I suppose that is enough for now! As you guys can probably tell - I really dig the ProViews and Theory vids. Anyways this is just a wish list and you guys are doing a great job of putting out videos that improve my game regardless of the format. Thanks for all you do!

philip galfond stopped making essential monthly videos?

Almost 2 months since a Phil Galfond essential vid? :/

I think I read somewhere on the forums, from a RIO staff member, that supposedly There should be 1 Phil Galfond video for essential per. month? .... miss his videos, so mindblowing every time.

More HU material in general, both for essential and elite. HUSNG/cap material would be great. If RIO add a good HUSNG coach for elite I'll probably reinvest in it.

Sorry about the delay guys.  I recorded three months worth of elite videos before the WSOP because I'm never able to find time to make videos during the hectic summers here.

I forgot to do the same for essential vids, but I just finished one before playing day 1 of the $50k PPC.  It should be out shortly.

Sorry again.... I'm always busy, but summers take it to another level.

There is a bunch of us who love if one of the essential coaches could do a 180 man video series please

http://www.runitonce.com/other/180-man-video-series/

Nl mtt vid from mr. Galfond....and a mtt video recreating a wsop run and it's key hands, perhaps by j. Koon? 

Deepstack PLO and anything that IS NOT ZOOM

A HU series with focus on range construction away from the tables, and how to go about doing this independently.  Cbetting ranges on different flop textures and a 4betting range vs an opponent who flats 4bets with a wide range would be good examples and we can discuss the frequency and types of future cards where our particular choice of construction gives either us or the opponent a significant range advantage.  I personally struggle to model these situations, so would find a framework for doing so extremely helpful.

Give a man a fish he'll eat for a day and all that.

2-7 plz.  sry made another thread about this, but posting here too

Been too long since we've had a Felipe vid IMO.

I would like to see more theory videos in general from all the coaches. I know I made a "wish list" above but I would like to make one request that would make me the happiest RIO member on the planet: A Nick Howard Theory video (on any subject) but if I got to pick it would probably be on overbetting as this is something I would like to have be a bigger part of my game but currently is something I rarely use. And if that doesn't work for the Powers That Be at RIO then I would also really enjoy a video on Playing the Flop OOP as the PFR or 3 better. 

Hey guys. I'm looking to review some user submitted footage for my next series. If you guys have any tournaments you went deep in, preferably final tabled that would be great. If you would like to submit your hand history please either PM me here or e-mail support@runitonce.com and let them know the hand history is for me. Cheers guys.

adjustment strategy to stack size in MTT

I must be losing value 3b these type of hands like j9s when I am getting laid a
good price to call to min raise.  Would be interesting if you could make
a video on facing  min raise and 3x pre and how you adjust your 3b
range and calling range based on there raise sizing. I get confused
sometimes when its more value to just call based on their smaller
sizing. 

These David Emmons live multitabling MTT videos are pretty much worthless. Please invest the money elsewhere or make them essential content.

Review review review and lack of real deep analysis and real training learning stuff. Just my point of view 

Fedor Holz back on the stage would be great :)

defending the blinds in PLO.  Range construction in terms of flatting and 3betting from the SB, ditto for the BB.  Constructing leading and x/r'ing ranges postflop.  Opening ranges from the SB, and 3bet ranges from the BB vs the SB.

I'd like to see a lot more videos focusing on regular speed cash games.

Most stuff seem to be concentrating on Zoom.

Unless it's already been done I think the community as a whole would really benefit from a series that just shows how to use Odds Oracle efficiently.  Also, need... moar... HUPLO!

I would like to see a HUNL video about adjustments for less than 50BB deep and HU CAP videos.

HU cash moving trough stakes series.

What happened to Parker Muir???? Is he still a coach here? If so can we expect a video anytime soon?

sometimes I dream of a "Ben Sulsky" type guy for  holdem MTT theory vids. :)

It would be awesome to add a mental game coach to the roster, maybe a player that have overcome big tilt issues etc.

I'd love to see a hand history review focusing on playing vs squeezes. Both as the initial raiser and the cold caller. I struggle with this spot as I'm sure a lot of poker players do as well.

Would love to see some 1k/2k nl reg tables, I know its hard to keep actin going to maybe have 1/2 tables of zoom on the side?

Also more HH review or theory vids, anything but 500 zoom from everyone

Would be awesome to see some more content similar to Koon/Galfond reviewing MTT session. One of the best videos I've seen here. It works because there is one person who is very good poker player but might not know all the dynamics of MTT, and on the other side there is experienced MTT reg. This allows for very interesting natural discussion and good questions :).

Everyone seems to really love that Galfond/Koon series. TBH, I haven't watched because I rarely play MTT's anymore but I have seen videos where 2 pros work together and it is always very, very good.

How many people on RIO would love to see a 6 Max No Limit series w/ 2 of RIO's top pros? I am guessing almost everyone that plays 6 max nl. It could be anything from Hand History reviews to session reviews where both pro's give their ideas and opinions. It really seems to make for a very creative environment and would be so sweet to see. Just imagine Tyler Forrester and Ben Sulsky working together, Peter Jennings and Nick Howard, Phil Galfond and the MIA Parker Muir, and the list of potential pairings goes on and on. I realize it would probably be hard to get the guys to link up as they are probably all in different time zones but I think it would be worth the price of admission!

double post that was in response to PG's question for new PLO content in the comments section of his new video:

I'd love to see a series on range construction for particular plays preflop or on the flop.  IE how we should construct a range when flatting a flop cbet
OOP from the blinds.  Start with the general premise (building an +EV
exploitable OR conversely trying to build an unexploitable range) for a
particular spot (say from the BB against a BTN open OR on the BTN as a
CCer vs an EP open) and then breakdown some strategy and philosophy that
guides your decision making (taking into consideration player type
etc).  Then find some hands that help illustrate this analysis and go
through them in a replayer at the end of the video.  Similar to
Jnandez's series on playing postflop as a preflop aggressor.  Each
video could be a different common preflop or postflop spot. 

would even
be interested to see you team up with all of the elite and essential
PLO coaches and kind of game plan how to attack all of the most commons
spots in the game.  Divy up the video making series and make it one
giant continuing series.  Even better would be if at certain end points
of the process (ie after the final preflop video was made) you had all
of the coaches get together on a 25-30 minute skype open discussion to
address questions brought up in the forums as well as thoughts on each
others videos.

this would be an unbelievable video series imo.

inspired by last Phil video, would be good to get concept follow up by examples type video for MTT.

- facing 3 bet IP/OOP with different effective stack size, constructing range

- 4 bet light

- steal/resteal

- Blind defence, flat, 3 bet...

- CB or not range and planning turn

- shallow stack after money bubble (raise/fold, 3B light 3B all in or not) .

- range vs type of flop; constructing CB, double barrel vs vilain range, flopzilla type vid.

- call shove

- cold 4bet best condition

- squeeze

- thinking process tips in online condition, what to look for in 20 secondes.

- efficient note taking, color coding to react

- HUD usage 

...... and many stuff that have already been proposed in the MTT thread as well as this one

In depth analysis of constructing c-betting/checking ranges OOP in HU pots (6max), Utilising CREV and Flopzilla.

E.G. SB opens 3x BB flats, 12 different textures, consideration of turn cards etc. generic assumptions when facing different example player types, i.e LAG, standard TAG

I would be very interested in seeing how the RIO elite pro's approach their off the table study in regards to constructing their own betting/checking ranges OOP.

****

in other words a rundown of how you approach this subject, I am not asking for any indepth analysis of any specific hand, but rather a detailed explanation of how you use different software and the methods you use within the software to produce your strategies. 

O8 MTTs, particularly how to play 5 - 15bb stacks

Hello,, 

I really like the idea to have vids divided in 2 part, with concept introduction (deep introduction :)) + x hands to illustrate the concept.

is it something that RIO community would like to see? is it something the pro would like to do?

let's put in this thread just to start 5 keywords ideas by response ok?

so I start.

For MTT but it can be also for Cash, except may be shallow stack stuff

1- 4B bluffing- Cold 4 Bet

2- effective stacks 15-30BB possible moves

3- Resteal range-squeezing

4- defending blinds.

5- facing a 3-bet, contructing range: flatting in MTT.

6- hand reading vs flop texture vs type of players

7-HM2/PT4 full review and leak finding methods

8-Risk aversion in MTT 

9-Construction CB and flop/Turn decision

10- Block theory/chip utility theory, taking risk to chip up or slow down

11- Turbo strategy, & hyper turbo, live sweat of turbo

Hey, some more msplo zoom videos from oddsen would be great

Add some micro/small stakes coaches to the roster.Ones that actually play and win at these games.

thats kinda impossible demand, since if 1 was winning small stakes, would move up :) as in , 100 %

^Are you saying there`s no 100NL guys that would make videos if offered good $?

What`s the point of having coaches that play 200-500NL, teaching microstakes guys poker.Sure you`ll learn something from each one, but there`s no comparing to the value of the coach that plays lower stakes.There`s a much smaller difference in the ways games from 25-100NL play, compared to ones from 200-500.

Chael -->You`re right, to an extent.What i meant to say was that i`d like to see more play at lower stakes, like Lipe did in his moving up series and see the adjustments the coaches make.But since they don`t really play/don`t have samples on too many players i thought it would`v been beneficial to have one 100NL guy in the roster who plays at those games regularly.

Would like to ask for some more heads-up. NL100z for example, and how to adjust to different player types.

I already posted these ideas but this post makes me think again http://www.runitonce.com/chatter/mental-issue-in-late-stages-of-tournamen/

"protecting your stack in late stages"

"strategy to play 16-35bb stack in late stages"

"what are all the weapons or defensive tools to get to the final table after money bubble"

bet sizing vs effective stack size in MTT preflop/postflop, 3B/open raise/squeeze/CB/turn/river bet

With all keywords ideas I put in this thread, they will be work for pro till the end of the year. I hope sometimes that will be take into account. Hey fellow MTT pro, do you read this post :)? and all the post from my MTT colleague ?

Having Nick Rampone back would be great too. Specially HU at MTTs series back (:

What about a member (me :)) recording a session (preferablly MTTs :)) and the pro watching it back, pausing and commenting on their observations?

MTT: The mental game in the late stages of a tournament. Some of the struggles that pro's have had before having build a sufficient bankroll, when the $ ment the world to them, and how to cope with that while playing :)

are there any mtt essential vids on pot odds, priced in to call shoves with A rags and suited connectors etc. Just where they go through loads of examples?also some scenerios where they passed up on marginal price calls due to game flow,good table,icm

PLO lacking badly again.

MTTs:

Grayson recently won a WCOOP challenge ($2100) A HH of that would be awesome. 

James Obst won the ST. HH of that would be awesome. The ft of this was a fun rail so the HH is surely good!

More live play reg battles, $55s to $109s are a nice sweet spot I think. 

More Jason Koon. 

More Sam/Lucas Greenwood. 

And definitely some multi-pro action. Two guys playing over some recorded footage like Phil and Jason did. Maybe over the Sunday 109r HH Phil won or sh4wshank's ridiculous Sunday in the FTOPS main and Milly. If he recorded this....BOOM!

A lot has been done in regards to mtt theory, HH reviews but they do get boring. Live play and multi-pro videos would be superb, I think. 

A kind of MTT boot camp serie where each pro tackle a subject

RIO webinar?

sorry if you feel I'm like that but in fact it is just some ideas, not unsatisfied complaint :)

How about more videos that explain concepts and new ideas instead of reviewing recorded videos?  I think the videos are really good and offer information, but more can be learned from theory and math.  A great example of this is James Hudson's last video.  

I'd like to see 6 elite 6max pro's playing a 1 tabling session at the same table and all the footage spliced together (so the viewer would see all six points of view) and then each coach individually review the footage. 

Also SNG play would be great!! 

Basic poker mathematics for dummies

Please keep up the amazing PLO content, I really look forward to more content on exploiting opponents and takign non standard lines 

recent content from Phil on 3bet pots OOP and Jnandez series on Flop strategy is what I mean 

Hi i would love to see some videos of how to steal the blinds in MTT, thanx.

The network I have access to has such limited traffic that it is getting difficult to get video content. Accordingly, I'd like to review a members footage of PLO. Feel free to submit any format; although Id prefer it to be 6-max vs HU and no more than 4 tables. Stakes 400PLO+.

If other instructors could do similar to Phil and break down one concept of PLO and focus an entire video or series on it that would be great. I do know a few coaches have done something similar but it's a tiny amount in comparison to the live play PLO vids. Having the concept explained then followed by a series of example HHs is a great format. 

Would like to see a one part corollary to Phil's 3B pot series focusing on 4B pots especially at 150BB+ effective stacks and small opens with less effective.   Maybe something like 10 minutes discussing hands that should fold to 4B at various SPR's (mostly OOP but a brief discussion on IP folds as well).  Another 10 minutes to cover playing aces that we 4B then the board creates non-trivial decisions, and identifying dynamics to consider just calling with weaker AA's or even stronger ones.  5-10 minutes on selecting non-AA candidates to 4b IP and OOP against liberal and average 3 bettors.  Finally the remainder of the video going through hand histories that get to flop in situations based on those fundamentals, and then lead to interesting post flop decisions.

Some ideas:

1) PLO - Playing AA hands. IP, OOP, Good AA, Bad AA, Bad flops, Deep, vs shortstackers, etc

2) PLO - Bet folding

3) PLO - 4-Betting when not holding AA

4) PLO - Limp Opening

5) Adjustments from playing online 6-max to live 9/10 handed

I'd like to submit an idea for a video: most of the essential subscribers we are playing low buy in mtts, nlh, or plo. And I think that I'm not wrong if I say that we strugle on how to study our own game. It would be nice a video on each subject, on how to review our database on both hm2 & pt4 and what we have to look for to find our leaks. That would definetly push our game much further.

Thank you Rafael! It would be very nice if we could have the same for Mtts!

Some 6m tournaments would be cool.

RIO - Hire Santaur to do some theory videos, who cares that he doesn't play on stars or FTP - the guy clearly knows his poker theory and would be of immense value just making theory/presentation videos!!!!!!!

I would love a video (perhaps series) which looked at different ways to play preflop. For example in Sauce's recent vids he's 3betting what seems to be a very linear and wide range in 6max, why would one do that and what hands would be used for the strategy? Also preflop, what hands do we open, call, raise, etc., every video pros talk about what they do with this hand in this situation preflop and it takes up a huge amount of the time talking about what's happening, why can't someone just make a video showing a couple of approaches to what to do with every hand in every common preflop situation? There aren't that many...

Betsizing video nlh , difference between ip and oop, different boards, 3b post , deepstacked , vs different opponents etc

I will take Arnaud Lafaurie's idea, as I would love to see a video of our friend Lipe Piv (Felipe Boianovsky)'s win at the WCOOP 41 as a dual comment w/ some MTT pro.. :)

I'd like to see a video about sizing on wet flops for MTT. This could be really interesting!

This could be a lame idea but a very good player commented that great players succeed at mtts by surviving coolers and being able to rebuild their stacks.....is there an art to getting past set ups in mtts without being crippled? Could we review some hand histories on surviving these?

I'm wishing for more HU PLO stuff, all stakes and/or theory based videos.

I'm wishing more heads up videos for essential members. Zoom or non Zoom. Thaanks

I would like to see more MTT all holecards exposed video reviews.

All the WCOOP events FT are now available on PS for everyone to see and in my opinion they make good videos being able to see all holecards.

dual comment video on poker concept from MTT/Cash game specialist.

As you can see the recent addition of Steve for essential cash led to a lot of comments and "likes" so theory/concept/examples based vids are well appreciated and would like more for MTT on essential as well as on elite Thanks :)

I have more expanded thoughts on what I'm about to say, but they're more appropriate for another thread that's regarding subscription plans here on RIO. As for this thread, I will say that it is imperative RIO begin producing more videos aimed at 5nl through 50nl. Imperative. As it is now, this is really the only reason anyone has to join a training site other than RIO. A lot of us are just nano/micros grinders who are are left having to sift through all of the essential videos trying to find the ones that are and are not applicable to us.

Tying into the subscription costs again, plenty of us would be more than happy to pay $20 for the essential if it had more of this content. Not in place of anything else (definitely not) and not at any other stake's expense, but in addition to. As someone else said in another thread - Just dominate the whole market. The only reason anyone's still paying $30/mo over on DC is because of the kind of content I'm talking about being overly prevalent there. They're really your only legitimate competition at this point, too. You have them beat in every other category. You're putting out more videos, hiring more coaches, have a better quality forum, and are basically "next gen" compared to DC. Button up the microstakes content and you guys basically have a monopoly here. I know I would really rather just come to one site for everything and I'd wager that I'm not alone in this. 

Hi there, I am looking for a video about 3betting plo zoom IP and when or not c bet and continue the hand. I think there is a lot of people who would like to see one or two videos about this. So my question is whether phil of some of the other PLO zoom pros could make a video about this topic. Thanks, Luuk

Video on how.what to study, what programs can be used. How to look at different regs startegy and how to adjust.

I would really like to see an essential level video that tackles a similar topic to Nick Howard's recent video "Building range models (part 1)"

Hey, it would be really cool if a coach if someone of the NLHESH CG coaches made a video or video series about turn leading-ranges when not having the initiative. It could just be some kind of hand history review type of video. I feel that I sometimes on some rivers etc when I lead like my whole range for 1/5-1/6 of pot or w/e at typical good turn leads for us.

Example of spot I'm reffering to: If we're BB and defend a steal vs BTN with 75s Flop come T 7 4, villain cbet we call turn is a 7 and we lead for a small bet.

Personal point of view: a bit too much final table review on elite MTT side when if we need training, it is more on how to get to the final table I guess :) For sure there are very interesting, but I feel there's too much and still a bunch of live play compare to theory/applied concept or thematic hand histories.

Can we get some Phil Galfond at MSNL 6max NLHE goodness?

It seems like the last 107 of his vids were PLO.

stack size theory vids: all about stack size PF and how it changes the strategy/range/moves, SPR post-Flop, set-up the right bet size; when to plan the hand vs range to get all the chips on differents street.

Hello. Is it possible that we get a video about small blind and big blind play in no limit holdem zoom games? How to reduce your looses in the blinds ect?

More videos from Elio fox for mtts if possible.

1) Im hoping to see more good theory videos in the future. Especially for PLO 6max.

There are a lot good videos for game itself, but not so much theory in those. Would be nice to see some math wizard opening GTO in Powerpoint. Also BTN play in opened pots / BTN vs blinds / Blinds vs BTN etc.

2) Maybe a video which focuses how to calculate hand step by step. There are some calculations in the middle of replayers, but hard to find those from old videos if needed.

3) Also videos for Hem2 use. For example how to find leaks in own game etc. etc.

I have done some of the 2 & 3 stuff before, but would like to do more in the future.

Id like to see a PLO abc, 123 vid. Like a how not to be a fish at plo for people who have limited experience. Like basic hand value ranges, what combos to open, 3b, peel opens with and stuff like that so i can get started and then get more into the higher level stuff you guys have here
imo

Sam greenwood mtt session reviews or maybe he reviews someone else's midstake+ session.with them.
Also not sure if there is a video on this yet but mtt video discussing big blind defense strat when short stacked <15bb and vs diff ranges early position opens/button opens etc Also talking about how callers effect ur equity when shalllow (hu vs 3way pots with shallow pot stack ratio).Seems like theirs still alot of regs with conflicting thougths on bb defense shallow some just defending stuff like Jts Kjo A9o etc vs lp opens and others playing more a push/fold strat in bb with <15bb so a video could start interesting discussion.

no phil video this week?

I would love to see a video on equity realization in crev. How much equity should we expect to realize when calling a 3 bet with 56s on the button vs a bb 3 bet? How much equity should we expect to realize when calling an ep open with J10s on the button? That kind of stuff would be great. Obviously these numbers will vary based on a variety of factors but some ballpark numbers would be awesome.

A video of Phil going over his 100r win on a sunday from a few months back would be awesome.

NLHE cash by Phil!

Yes NLH by Phil please

Hey everyone,

In the interest of mixing things up a little bit I want to make a video reviewing a member play.

If you're interested either write here or shoot me a PM with what stakes/games you play, as well as how you are doing in those games (losing/slightly losing/breakeven/slightly winning/winning is enough), and what you think you need to improve on/what your leaks/concerns are. It has to be NLHE cash 6max, but any format is fine.

You must be capable of recording a a video of yourself playing.

I'm going to select someone based on a combination of factors mostly revolving at how good I will be in terms of reviewing the game and how useful it will be to the community.

Assuming enough interest, I hope to have someone within the next few days!

Thanks guys,

Dan

Personally I really like watching the theory/concept videos over the hand history review/sweating. Watching videos relating to HRM, ICM, and how to defend against a steal really show how to play the game on a high level. Furthermore I think these videos are more educational and will help improve gameplay more than sweating someone.

less CREV, more HH review

Mixed theory/concept/HH, concepts by examples. these kind of videos needs more works from the coach than fire a recording or review a HH where everything seems obvious from the coach side. I think making theory vids wll help coach as well to tackle the concept by being challenging with questions, that will lead to more interactions.

Hi guys,

I think that you could produce some videos playing or reviewing micro limits and/or talking about adaptations to limits where are to many multiway pots and low fold equity. Some basic material should be useful to Essencial members.

Regards

I would like to see more holdem videos from Phil, cash or tournaments both are welcome.

Hire MTT pro especially essential where only 5 left after Brian Yoon stopped making vids.
Hire MTT elite theory/concept oriented pro to equilibrate the bunch of HH reviews or I'd like to see David Emmons, Grayson Ramage, Dylan Linde, Stephen Chidwick, Nick Rampone change from time to time the format of their vids and talk about one concept to tacke in MTT instead of always live sweat from David, Always HH from Grayson, Multipart serie from Stephen.
Thanks

Could we have some essential PLO videos that are not Zoom. I want to watch some 6 max tables where some reads are developed over a session.

A MTT video where pro review hands that cause a major lost of chips or a bustout from tournaments and that has been considered a bad play and how to improve from that bad play. details analysis of each hands that can cover concept like
calling 3-bet
4-betting light
flop/turn/river mistake
ICM mistake
Mistake regarding stack size
bad reshove spot

....

self learning, how to improve and work on our game especially for MTT.
A kind of roadmap, guide to progress step by step with some key concept to master to be better at MTT

It would be awesome if you could make a video highlighting bet sizing in 6-max NLHE and 6-max PLO. Thank you!!

Phil, make a video about leading the flop in single-raised pots in PLO please.

Phil, also would be nice to make a continuation of a "Playing 3bet pots OOP" but now when calling a 3bet instead of 3betting. Let's say CO v BTN 3bet or UTG v BTN 3bet.

PLO: How to construct ranges on the same board vs different opponent types.

I'm not sure if this has been suggested in a prior post, but a theoretical video discussing play in three player pots would be fascinating. I know the level of complexity increases significantly when you add an addition range to the mix, but it would quite instructive to hear how a strong player does the following:

1.leverage another regulars stack by utilizing the presence of a short stacked fish in the pot
2. cbet a wide range as we represent an apparently strong range by betting into two players when in fact one of our opponents is capped and likely to fold.
3. place certain hands that might be cbets in HU pots int a c/r range allowing us to sometimes lock more money in against a weaker overcall

Deep stacked (200bb+) play. Specifically calling 3bets when oop. For example, Hero is CO and 3bet by BTN, what ranges to construct, what kind of 4betting and 3b flatting range. How different flops fare for our range when we are OOP.

I'm not sure if this has been posted earlier in the thread, but I would LOVE to see a video or video series dedicated to the study of poker. I have no problem PLAYING the game at all, but it when it comes to studying the game, for some reason I am not productive whatsoever. I'd rather go to the dentist then review a hand. Also, my usual conclusion is, "I played it right, moving on..."

I would like to know exactly what the top pros' study routines are. How they review a hand and actually get a takeaway from it, how they use Cardrunners EV to analyze a hand, how they use equity calculators to break down somebodies range on all streets vs all cards, etc.

And FYI I'm a winning midstakes player but would like to use takeaways from study to add to my winrate.

one of the reason of why I stop elite and hopefully it will change a bit, is the lack of concept /theory vids especially on MTT. Bunch of final table review, HH, multipart session and less and less concept vids, even Sam Greenwood that was the "theory vid" maker didn't produce concept vids since last summer. Some from Sam Grafton but definitely "unbalanced" with the bunch of review in the elite section. is it because it takes too much time to prepare a concept vid and review are much easier to do? on a learning point of view I think training by concept are the key or alternate theory/practise at least. if it can't be done on elte subsciption, can it be on essential one where we can see also very good theory vid from HU, NLHE, PLO pros, why not MTT?

More Sauce Toy Gaming vids--those are the vids I've benefited the most from by far.

Any possibility of having a video series for the Draw Games? Would be a fresh change to all the Hold'em videos.

Not sure if this has been said but I don't think I can manage reading through 300 odd comments! I would like to see more HU videos at the lowest stakes made available to essential members.

I'd like Sam Greenwood continue his preflop serie, with some concepts hje mentionned at the conclusion of his vids, like adlusting frequencies vs opponent tendencies, non-opening range.
in general for sure I will come back to elite subscription, if more concept theory vids are released vs the bunch of replay

Not a vid request, but it would be nice if the year a video was made was more available.

more focus on live tournaments. like chidwicks vids, but hearing koon do this or dylan linde (FTed the PCA) or greenwood. if u look at the likes on the live tournament vids, they always get a ton, implying theres a ton of support. escp as WSOP coming soonish

I would like a theory video for MTT about the balance of betting to leave your hand uncapped or checking to balance your check backing range. I am having troubles in spots where checking back looks good, but caps my range too often, which makes me exploitable? ESSENTIAL please

More 27TD or Phil NLHE would be awesome.

I would like essential plo mtt, both theoretical and live session.

Basic PLO series that has head and tail. Something like; Pre-flop hand selection, pre-flop3b/vs3b, basic flop, turn(c/r spots), river plays, playing the blinds and than 2 seperated live sessions on 4 regular and 2zoom tables to summon things up

Would like to see Fedor do a HH review of his WCOOP win or at least start putting up some content. Is he still even a Run It Once coach?

Also if you could somehow find a way to get lasagnaaammm to do some videos.

Not scrolled the whole thread, but I have an idea for an essential mtt vid.
How about a guide to making deals on an FT?
There's a lot to consider here and I think it could be very useful content...

Need more mixed game and 8 game content. A series on how to exploit 8 game players would be nice :).Also would love any type of video on Stud Hi Low or OE.

I'd like to see a vid from someone talking about how/what to study efficiently.

To expand on that a little, what coaches think are the most important concepts as you move up, and what the most efficient forms of study are (CREV / breaking down ranges in notepad / watching live play vids from your stakes) etc.

Also I totally suck at betsizing, so something looking at that would be good.

Sorry to ask again, It has been almost a year since last elite HU PLO came out.

Exploitative PLO please!

Planning hands vs stack size, commitment threshold in MTT, stack off range vs SPR
some theorical work on that would be great

I'd like to see some videos about cold-calling and squeeze play both in and out of position and the following postflop strategy in 6-max cash games. Things like, what are good spots to squeeze or cold call and what are good ranges to do that with? I think it'd be very helpful for a lot of players.
Thanks

I would like to see some fullring videos.
After Simon Couling stopped making videos I didn´t see any fullring video anymore.

is it possible to get less multi part serie, especially from pro that release 1 or at the max 2 vids /month because it can take 3, 4+ months to get another material from them.
or increase the release frequency in the case of multi part stuff.
anyway, would much prefer 1 or 2 part stuff that tackle concept in deep

Mixed games from the ground up.

Hi,

i would like to see some Progressive Super-Knockout tournament content. I dont think there is any on this site yet, and seeing many of these kind of tournaments coming up on the scoop schedule it would be great to see some theory content coupled with play.

Thanks

I would love some more micro cash targeted content. Also, I think it would be a good idea to have some 'back to basics' videos on how to play solid ABC-poker at the micro's. Where, for instance, topics like standard opening ranges, c-betting and double barreling are discussed. For a player stuck at the micro's, it sometimes feels like i'm trying to run while I can barely walk when I watch some of the videos.

Thanks!

I'd like to see a series where someone explains how to use CREV in depth. Starting out very basic and building on it each episode.

There are a lot of videos where CREV is used but it is often hard to follow or understand the conclusions if you're not well versed in CREV yourself as the viewer.

Also more holdemresourcecalculator vids, the few that are on RIO are good but maybe a few more with some more interesting spots would be cool.

If any member has footage playing 27TD, badugi, O8, PLO8, or 8 game. Ill review it.

Also I would love to see a video on lifestyle/nutrition/exercise from Jason Koon.

I don't think he holds any actual qualifications in these areas (I could easily be wrong) but either way I think he would have a lot of practical advice for the poker playing community on these topics and how to get the most out of them to maximise your own poker performance.

I think hearing this advice from a player held in such high esteem would cause a lot of people to actually act on it and it would have a massive positive impact on a lot of people which I'm sure would appeal to Jason personally.

Cheers

I would like to see coaches reveal more of their learning / study habits, emphasizing on the things they felt most improved them as players.

CRev guide for dummies

Check/? range OTF as PFA for Essential :)

Free videos for everyone:

1. Free NL serie which you can show to your friend who believes that poker is a skill game:

2. Free video which you can show to your mom who thinks poker is same as roulette and thinks his 30yo son doesn't do anything with his life but gamble and is lost..

more cash game players playing tournaments every once in a while

It would be cool if there was a fish in the pro v pro, and he contributed his thought process. I know it's too late, but I would find that very interesting.

Not really a video request but a feature request (couldn't find a thread for that): It would be nice if we had something like a "currently watching" or "my videos" or "continue watching" section, which would show all the videos we have started but not finished watching. I've often found myself searching through old videos just to finish watching something I've started, and even forgetting to finish watching a video. This feature would solve these problems.

+1
I keep a notepad file listing:
* What I have watched with brief notes about what I liked/disliked
* what I have partly watched
* and what I am yet to watch but want to watch.

I do this because I find the current video list really confusing.

1-working on our range when facing a 3-Bet in MTT when OOP/IP, stack size consideration.
calling/4betting/folding.
2-Common mistake to avoid vs Stack size.
3-Block theory in MTT

live headsup 1v1 over twitch pro v pro would be super good advertisement and get a lot of views. that ones for free dan

Phil Galfonds crev analysis of a flop decision after 3betting was awesome, that as the caller as well and a couple of different board textures... (one being Axx) :)

Turn raising spots and balancing our range there.

A HU PLO coach for the elite team.

I would like to see a math series from Tyler.

I would like to see one of the MTT players make a video about optimal/balanced 4bet ranges in various spots and how things change with increasing icm effect

given his NL 2-7sd bracelet and remarks on how he enjoys 2-7 triple draw (not th mention the global scarcity of video content on these games), a PG 2-7 video/series could be interesting.

Haven't seen any SPR theory videos. Any chance a essential pro could make a video about SPR.

Thanks

Especially on elite side, since the begining of the year, there are bunch and bunch of session/zoom/live/review/x tables on any game PLO/NL/MTT.
Can we get more theme/theory/concept stuff especially on elite where there is really a lack of it. only a couple of vid in MTT, it is very poor

HU NL CAP session review or live play videos.

A lot of the HU action is short stacked these days (both SNG and cash) and there is not much content on it here.

Entire range discussion on MTT at different stages of the tournament while hiding the hole cards, discuss in depth what to do with our entire range and what to think our opponents might have.

I would love to see some mindset videos for essential members. I've seen on lechrumski's facebook page, that he will be making videos for RIO (lechrumski is a well respected PLO player, and mindset coach on PS.com), and I'm wondering if his mindset videos will be for essential group

so i recently stumbled upon phils old blog http://www.philgalfond.com/ and it was nice to see how great his posts still are and how much content you can find there. and i don´t mean like "real" poker content only, but also stuff that can help you in life in general or regarding your own attitude towards poker etc. so i´d like to ask if phil(or any other pro that thinks he would be interested in doing something like that) has any interest in providing content that doesn´t necessarily improve your raw poker game and focusses on other things, that can also be helpful to poker players. i guess that would be in the direction of tommy angelo videos overall, although it doesn´t have to end at the mental aspect of poker. i would be very interested in that and thought i´d put it out here. allthough the request isn´t very concrete and it may have been better to start a new thread and discuss it there further, i leave that up to administration.

I did not see any SNG content for essential :(

Please add some

also, i don't see much emphasis on creating ranges with shorter stacks, say 15bb or less

this is a huuuge part of mtt/sng poker. Personally i would like to see how the ballers are constructing these types of ranges. What are they shoving from which spots? what hands are they raise-calling/raise-folding and again from what spots? in depth looks at calling pushes. maybe a little ICM talk if it's deep. these types of things

-video on note taking for MTT/NLHE

more videos for micro grinders, NL2/5/10 zoom would be great.

Hi, SPING&Gos content would be awesome, there seems to be a real lack of content for those.
Cheers,
Aquila

would also like some Spin content

something on fear of making move & being too result oriented would be great. how to these commons leaks and identify it.
taking the other side how to use and identify when you've got fear equity

Working on 4-betting in MTT

-protecting equity
-identifying capped range

How about a Beating the Micros series for us essential members? A lot of sites have something like this where it's a 5-8 part series where it's not really for beginners but micro grinders hoping to move up to small stakes ($1/2+)

Preferably PLO since that is the future ;) (and since CR/DC has quite a lot of these for NLHE..i mean pretty much everyone is solid at NLHE and with PLO maybe there are some advanced topics that can help us improve that we don't know about and is the reason we are not able to move up)

something like a serie on essential side or elite on improving post-flop play in MTT vs stack size

Can anyone recommend a video or serious where thought process is explained good in NL - Im not bothered about stakes, im just having trouble thinking correctly when playing.

Example is that say playing a hand 6max just two of us see the flop, I get bet into I always think "im prob beat lets fold". Of course, if I have a strong hand I don't. But im struggling to get the correct thought process eg range or equity to help make a picture up and base a decision on that information.

lol hope that made sense!

something more focused around short stack play in mtts. when to push, when to min/fold, when to min/call; also calling ranges vs preflop allins

PCA Ticket won by Sam Greenwood HH review from the first hand to the last one+some strategies advice/theory/concept on satellites

Mtt content has been mediocre for awhile, probably everything except the Greenwoods is not very good.

Maybe some high stake sit&go action - stevie444
ZOOM 200NL has barely been played by any pros
Holdem - PLO transition video?

for sure lack of Concept, theory, deep discussion, tackle some subject related to MTT that make the viewer active learning instead of final table review, simple HH where obviously run good and pass through hands quickly because "it's standard", live sweat with more than 4 table where we can't follow action. I don't say that these types have to disappear but maybe make HH review of mistakes, of alternative lines discussion, of specific situations (let's say in the money with shallow stack; postflop play with low, mid SPR...)
stop the passive/HH show/entertainment and try to balance with active learning material where we can start real discussion, where we can make some works on our side, ...definitely too much "easy to make vids" especially on elite MTT side.
we are lucky to have some strong players , so as elite members, we would like that these pros makes a little bit more than a HH review, or at least a full HH review with deep discussion and using tools or rise concept where we can discuss on.
especially those top pros are so rare on the the schedule that when they release something like a HH, it's even more disappoiting...I will not list any name :)

there are a f* bunch of ideas in this thread and the results is 95% HH, live sweat; zoom x table part 1 to xx, final table review. please balance the schedule with other stuff.
thank you

A discussion came up about how it's the players responsibility to protect their hole cards in live poker. Which made me think, well it's the players responsibility to protect their hole cards online as well, for example in the case of protecting ourselves against viruses and hackers. A guy named funkworms did a video series he posted on twoplustwo a while back about computer security for poker players. But I'm not sure if that information is outdated now, it'd be nice to get a computer security expert to make a few videos about what kind of things should we be doing as poker players to protect ourselves from getting hacked. I think it'd be an extremely valuable thing for a lot of players to learn and would be an interesting outside the box video.

Some more Phil Galfond videos for the Essential peasants please!

Something along the lines of the 'Philosophy' videos from Bluefirepoker days would be incredibly useful for the micro-plankton-stakes players :)

Hello There!

Nowdays I read an article about postflop play:
http://en.donkr.com/Articles/Category/Optimal-post-flop-play-in-NL-Hold'em-6-Max-17

Sometimes I feel it is not so up to date:
- weird 3.5x openraise
- tight ranges, etc...

BUT!
The method as they breakdown the subject is very powerfull:
- theory
- constructing ranges
- a lot-lot samples.

I really liked Vincent Van den Neste's cbet video, but it is heads up only.

So I would really like a postflop theory/practical video.

THX, T79

make a MTT live sweat with 2-3 tables and the replayer and just focusing on note taking and color coding players without HUD
Goals: learn how to look at what is the most important at the table, implement simple color coding system and what are the exploitation we can make based on this assumption. Everything in live to see how the pro is thinking about vilains

I enjoyed the Sauce video talking about the RedBaron/Kanu hand with the huge overbet, would be interested to see Sauce giving his take on some of the Kanu/Trueteller HHs being posted in the HSNL sweat thread on NVG, or other high stakes NL hands with betsizing you almost never see at midstakes. It seems like there's a lot interesting stuff going on in the nosebleeds with betsizing, I'd love to see something talking about these lines where there's something like a 1/5 pot bet on the flop, the turn goes check check and then the river is a big overbet.

I think I already mentionned it, but something on late phase between the money bubble and final table bubble would be great. here is one comment I did on Akira vid
I know it is quite difficult since there are a lot of different situations, but late phase after money bubble and climbing the prizes ladder concept vid would be interesting. taking into account where you are, short stack, average, big stack, what would be the best behaviour.

A poker-philosopy video from Sauce! Any angle on it as he wants, how to reflect over some GTO-concepts, made assumptions, arguements, scientific method - I dont know, anything philosophy related from Ben would be awesome.

I would like to see more hand histories from Clutch Hero, ozzieowen, etc, for Essential.
I feel there is more hh reviews for elite, but i think u should do the same amount for essential members..

thank u

Can you do a video for progressive KO mtts? They're getting more and more popular and at least at essential videos i haven't seen a lot of stuff (i think i only saw once sorle discussing strategy for a bit in a video)

I think there are too much HH on the elite side and the recent vid made on essential side are great even on cash side (John Daly, Ozzie, Apotheosis, Paul Atwal...) I appreciated to see the last one from Lucas about tournament life, there should be more of these concept type instead of running good HH with only VPIP hands , final table.
for example a vid from Fedor on the WCOOP main but instead making a vid of how he get to final table would be much better. Honestly now I skip every video like this, my problem (it is only my problem :) ) I just watch 3-4 elite MTT this month (Greewood brothers, and Chidwick) and 4 cash vid (Danied Dvoress and Ben Sulsky theory stuff). In december my elite subsciption was not too helpful. I feel elite pro (not all :)) should put more work in the vids, I know it is time consuming to making concept stuff, but it has a bigger value added to customers

Take 4-5 tournaments where you start close to money bubble with different type of stack-short, shallow, average, big, and explain strategies to get to final table and detailled hands review and instead of discussion of your holding, discussion of the range in each situation you are involved or not. Where you made a mistake by not playing the hand, or play the hand where your range should have been tighter or wider….may be with hidden holecard and a quizz stuff on what would be your range there (like Paul Atwal vid)

More theory plo videos please:

for example

• how to play out of the sb
• how to play turns after you check/raise bluff the flop and get called
• cbetting in 3bet pots
• playing multiway in 3bet pots
• how to play medicore draws in multiway pots
• check/raise flop as preflop aggressor
• creating a 3betting range
• general strategies how to play ofp in single raised pots

for essential:

• playing with 15-20 bb, flat ou resteal depending on the positions
• which hands to flat sb
• playing 3bet pots

really too much final table review on elite MTT side, please more instructionnal stuff, specific topics

3-betting (Folding, calling, No allin); 4 betting (all in, no allin) in MTT with shallow stack say 20-40), designing, playing with ranges and how to work on that to improve

guidelines to leakfind yourself in MTT, what to look for in your database?

Coach request: Pro or Semipro low-mid stakes player on Bovada.

+1

If you're interested in becoming a coach, you can send me a PM and I can explain the application process to you.

Would like to see a complete course or series of videos covering push/fold in MTTs.

Also would love to see videos about live MTTs.

Specifically, those in the $300-1500 range, dealing with adjustments vs live players.

For example, what hands do you three-bet with when people do weird things like open 4x?What about handling a lot of limpers? What about all the strange non-standard things live players do? Multiway pots? There's not much material in this anywhere. We need a Garret Adelstein for live MTTs.
I specifically am building big stacks often but then crashing at about 20-50BBs.

Also this is good with WSOP coming up.

I still think there should be SNG content, pretty surprised there is absolutely none. Maybe i can do some vids :)

Live poker dynamics and differences between online.

I would love some contect on deep NLHE. How to adjust your ranges when deep, what to consider when 3betting, how to build a continue with QQ vs a 4bet when we can't 5betjam and we are deep. How to construct ranges and gameplan for DEEP NLHE!

I would be happy to provide deep NHLE footage

would want to see a video about limping , not just from SB, but other good spots to limp, etc

basically comparing limp to other strategical options and being the highest EV action to take the limp

Any PLO content would be nice right now. There has been one Essential PLO video this month. :(

any vid on how to construct cbetting ranges on flop IP/OOP and same for turn and river

Echoing what hypage said a few posts above: Can we get some videos with deep NLHE play?

6 max BB calling range vs EP/MP/CO/BTN theory/hand examples (lowest part of range examples) vs different sizes.

Please :)

I would like to see someone breaking down rake from 5 NL and all the way up for cashgames. Zoom vs regular tables. And including rakeback. And for a number of sites, to compare it. And then deleiver it, so it is understandable for the recreational player. That would be something. And also accordingly, I use PT4. There different stats for rake, and I have never been able to figure out, what they exactly means for my game. For example: I have played 56,268 hands on 5 NL on Stars this year. I have won 144,63, which is 5,14 BB/100(My C All-In Adj is 140,33 - so running slightly good). But then I got 4 numbers: My C Rake Taken:$ 1121,44. My C Rake Share:$ 196,76. My C Rake Attrib:$ 161,91. My C Rake Contrib:$ 148,90. What can I make out of these four numbers? And which one is important to me, for example to figure out which site, is best to play on?
Hope for a video, or a good answer.....and of course Gaucan wil be trolling me with in his perfect English!!!!

We need a new coach like Tom Coldwell who talks about PLO theories aimed at essential players :)

4-betting in MTT (especially 4-Bet not getting in)

Theory and practice of 3way pots postflop.

I´d be very interested to see a series about playing on sites that don´t allow tracking of any kind, no HUDS, HEMs, PTs etc.
Do you approach these kind games any diiferently, if so, how?
I play on a site like this atm and have tons of game footage playing NL10 and PLO4 since I record all my sessions.
So I´d be willing to give some footage for review.

i think a very good video concept is when two coaches create a video together.
this could be anything from live play with both coaches discussing the hands (would this violate the 1 player per hand rule?), a review of a recorded session, review of selected hands or some theory discussion.
i think videos like that can bring up interesting discussions between both coaches.

theory vid - daniel dvoress's take on all kind of betsizings which when to use

more postflop concept stuff, planning vs stack size.
I hear often in vids again in the last setherson vids, "I'm going to put pressure on turn and river", "I plan to bet the turn and shove the river" this one we hear quite often and honestly sometimes we really don't know what is going on behind this sentence regarding though process with planning.

bovada cash vid !!

PLO vid by sauce123

Is it much to ask from a micro, newbie, motivated and mainly poor player with a essential sub ! that the recent video made by the amazing chidwick "utilising hrc from mtt" be also available for essential sub..... Or can anyone tell me how can i download it or at least watch it at least once! I'm only asking for this video, i think is very important for our community !

Would love to see a video on how to break down a session from Phil. The descriptiveness(word?) of his videos is unbelievable, and I have never learned as much from watching videos as his.

Seeing Phil break down a mid/high stakes PLO session he played would be awesome. Basically, explaining his thought process on how he reviews hands, which hands he stoves, does he only look at big pots he was involved in , etc.

A HU PLO video, and a 6 max PLO video going step by step through his hand histories after a session would be great. Preferably, exactly how he does it himself after playing a session.

Thanks!

Please make some leakfinder videos. Also it would be nice if there was a more linear nlhe series meant to expand more on nlhe concepts with each video.

Essential videos on 3-/4-betting where you go into more detail about 4 bet ranges.
Building a 4-bet / flatting 3-bet range etc.

anything bovada

mtt plays : leading the turn

NLHE play on paired boards, preferably BU VS BB, or SB VS BB, to have wide ranges, from both positions perspective.
And same thing on monotone boards.

or playing the turn after check/calling flop

Well, an NL10 100k hands challange would be very interesting for essential budys. I mean, an essential pro could take parts the whole population, tendencies, ranges, expected EVbb/100, etc... But, who will pay for that? xD

Some content on the mixed games variants for Essential would be dope!

Not sure if there is any... I didn't find any in the learning paths at least. 2-7, PLO8 preferably!
If there is any essential content, I'd be happy if someone can point out to me :)

Transitioning from NLHE cash to MTTs

Bovada bros are feeling mighty left out around here....

Not sure if this exists or if its been mentioned (brief scroll didn't find anything), but a vid or two on how to effectively use training sites would be great. Methods of note taking, how to make the most out of the information, balance between studying/playing, balance of studying method etc. Could be really interesting

On NLHE, I would like to see videos covering the pre flop caller play (specially in 3-bet pots), as I feel like 95% of the content or more is only focused on the pre flop raiser, and we might be commiting a lot of mistakes as PFC in big pots

I'd like to see an essential nlhe video about playing 4bet pots. I see advice saying to call vs 4bet but can't understand why. Also playing 4bet pots against people who flat a lot of them.

A strategy video on PLO MTTs would be nice. Not a review, but something conceptual. Also taking into account that many PLO MTTs are 9handed and therefore going into detail about play from the EPs. Apotheosis immediately comes to mind as the guy who would be able to do a great job on this. Maybe in Co-op with Luc G. or Zach Freeman?

I would love to see more live action HUPLO vids.

Ignition videos stat!

I would love to see more videos in mtt about playing Postflop in 3bet pots. (I know Sam Grafton made 3 of this kind in the past)

Hi, could you guys make or send me to a video to show me when it is appropriate to call 3 bets with pocket pairs? Oftentimes I will be facing a small 3 bet and not know if I truly have the odds or not. In addition I would like the video to talk about how a third player changes the dynamic ie. I call a raise with 77 and get squeezed. The original raiser calls and now I am last to act. How does the extra money in the pot influence my decision making?

USa player /coah !!!

Preflop BvB play in 6max NLHE theory video. "GTO" ranges, exploitative RFI %'s and sizings. There's been bunch of different strategies in BvB preflop lately, and a introduction video to cover some of the most common and best strategies currently out there would be awesome.

I'd love to see more videos that just analyze PLO hands with PokerJuice. Maybe you can find a coach to do with PJ what Julian K. is doing with PioSolver - just very solid, straightforward videos that use the software to analyze 2-4 hands in detail. I think there's a lot of value in that, as it accomplishes multiple goals - it analyzes a situation in detail, it shows viewers how to use the software, and it arguably has more "library value" because the assumptions are explicit (whereas when we watch a liveplay video we don't know what the coach is basing his decision on). Thanks.

Top MTT player with a background in math to make a video on edges needed to make a shove /call a shove based on different stack depths and distributions and winrates. Maybe Sam Greenwood would be a good candidate for this or Apotheosis.

I would be interested in seeing some PLO8 4-card footage. I saw Zach Freeman's few videos from several years ago but there is not much else out there. If anyone is interested in putting together some PLO8 videos, I'd appreciate it.

Videos I like to watch, which seem to becoming less and less of are Session reviews. Yes watching a live session can be good, But i find it more beneficial to a viewer where a coach can just pause the video and explain the hand/current situation a little more in depth, instead of worrying about their time bank running out, or still explaining a hand that happened 5 or 6 mins ago but still playing(if that makes sense)

Also video series content i know deuces cracked did for a while was where the coach from a higher stakes game might be helping out a coach from a lower stakes game..or 2 coaches commenting on a student of there's play from a recorded Session. It gave 2 sides of the coin and brought up a lot of good points and very helpful.
That is just my 2 cents. Really enjoying the content so far Keep up the great work.

MTTs themes like:
- Probing turns;
- Turn check/raises;
- SB flat with 20bb less.

NL - PLO transition video series for beginners.

Any SNG videos please! full ring would be even better

Can we please get some mixed game vids for essential?

Would also really love a NLSD vid, but I assume there's not a ton of demand for it. Maybe a theory vid that comes out closer to WSOP?

I would appreciate some MTT videos discussing variance at midstakes and what sort of downswings are fully expected as an MTT pro. Although there is a lot of stuff online speaking of this topic, a video outlining the current state of the games and how this relates to expected variance would be insightful. If there is already a video on this can someone please point me in the right direction?

More PIO vids please :D

Hey everyone, I am looking for footage to review for a Pro View Series. Ideally this will be a micro stakes NLHE 6-Max player as these are who my first set of videos are primarily aimed at. Please send me a PM to apply. An elite membership is required.

Thanks,
Iain

Tom Chambers videos every Friday. 4 out 60 videos per month of Chambers wont hurt.

I'd love to see Sauce review a lower stakes player's play, something like what Galfond does with his 'ProView' videos.

On the Learning Path for NLHE both 4-Betting and Small Blind only have Elite vids listed. Would be nice to have at least one Essential vid for each category - especially as more advanced topics have (GTO) have plenty of Essential vids.

I would like to see more videos with KO spots, and some more mindsetting videos. Both to essential plan plz :D

Not sure where to post this - the video library is missing a filter for "Other" under game type. Mindset vids are posted under this tag so it'd make them easier to find.

Need more Salternator videos :D

Need more MTT essential videos!

I'd really like to see a general theory video on 1-A and MDFing on earlier streets where equities run close. 1-A is really easy to apply on rivers, and fairly easy to apply on turns, but on pre flop and flops where equities are not clearly defined (like early streets in PLO) I don't feel like the idea is as cut and dry as "defend 1-A of your flop range."

More course type video series, and I don´t mean 2-3 parts but 5-10 part videos from the same coach(es) or so that the theme of the series has been determined and there´s no danger of coaches contradicting each other. For the most part, individual videos are a thing of the past imo and a longer series that really delves into the subject(s) are better. A video like "xxx 4-tabling NL50 ZOOM" is almost useless nowadays and very lazy, it´s not 2007 anymore. The Learning Paths has a good idea but again, I think a big fault in it is the inconsistency and the fact that the "series" consists of different coaches from different times and in some cases, different opinions on the same matter.

PLO - low SPR situations with just overpairs on a scary board.
Pretty much when to shove and when to fold.
TY

Browsing through the video list I noticed sauce hasn't released a video in 4 weeks.
Is he still releasing videos? For as long as I can remember they would be released every 2 weeks on a friday without fail!

He took down the 25K HU Scoop event and i believe he was playing in the 300K Super high Roller bowl (i could be wrong) so he might just be very busy

I would like to see more content about MTT Sattys plz :)

Hey all, I've had a look through the comments above for ideas about my next video. Im going to take the suggestion from "FrankGrimes" for a video on 4betting/4bet pots to add to the essential collection/learning path.

I look at the thread regularly so please do continue to make suggestions. You can also comment on this post or any of my videos/PM me to make suggestions or ask me anything poker related!

Cheers,

Iain

I think an essencial video on SBxBB play in cash games would be really apreciated... it´s a spot I find myself quite often and dont know how to act sometimes

Would any essential members benefit from an Intro to PIOsolver video? There doesn't seem to be this content for essential members however I'm not sure how many of that userbase is interested in that. If interested you can like this post, PM me or perhaps suggest an alternative.

Cheers

Would really appreciate some MTT specific videos, playing certain board textures, Pre flop ranges for mid-late stage as I feel they kinda go astray as the money starts to loom.

All the theory videos are not listed in the "learning path section"

For example Steve Paul and Jeremy Menard made mtt content on blind defense
When I go in learning path - mtt - blind defense : there are only videos from John Daly.

Theory video on 200bb+ effective nlhe 6max would be good

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A VIDEO ON HOW TO CONTINUE AS THE OOP PLAYER VS THE 1/3 CBET SIZING AS THIS IS THE CURRENT META
I know this will involve taking some hands from our x/c range and putting them into our x/r...but I would like to know which hands make for the best x/r and what sizing is best for our x/r on different textures. I've been playing around with PIO a lot on this with inconclusive results.

ALSO REALLY LIKE WATCHING ANYONE THAT IS GOING TO TRY TO BE CREATIVE TAKING SOME HARD EXPLOIT STRATS AGAINST ANONYMOUS PLAYER POOLS AT 200ZOOM (I.E. VID CATERED TO IGNITION 200ZOOM)

I'd love to see a video from Rami about turn overbetting in his PIO series.

I would like to see more HSNL content. 25/50+ NLHE 6-max and HU.

Please guys more nl25/nl50 zoom vids, can be live, review, theory,etc

Hi Elite PLO coaches -

Where's the Monker Solver videos? With one of your competitors about to launch a Monker-based PLO video subscription service, I think now is the time to embrace Monker-driven videos just like your RIO NL counterparts have embraced Pio. Anything from simply breaking down spots via Monker to something more ambitious like how the PLO solver has changed your approach to the game in general would be fantastic.

I'm a new elite member and while the videos are great, when the coaches break down spots through Poker Juice and intuition I can't help but think what would the solver do? For example weighing hand strength vs. blocker strength when constructing your bluffcatching range at the very end of this theory video. We have a solution if we run the spot through Monker, but without Monker we're left guessing which is more important. While intuition masters with millions of years of experience like Phil Galfond may be able to guess correctly, most of us aren't on that level!

Keep up the good work and let me know if you agree! Thanks!

Hi MTT coaches

I would be nice if someone can make a video about money bubble and FT bubble.

Thanks a lot :)

Leak finding series for NL players using different kind of filters on HM2.

Could someone do a sb vs bb video? limping vs raising, limp raising ranges ect? How stack sizes affect ranges ect

It would be great for the MTT content to have some hand reviews about Postflop plays in 3bet pots as Preflop 3better , and as Preflop caller

Could somebody do a video on how to construct 3betting ranges at different BB depths in MTTs for essential plan

Id like to see a cash video on playing draws oop as the defender preflop, both in 3bp and srp.

For the essential pros.
Database review for NLHE 6max cash game.
Showing minor leaks that can hugely impact evbb/100 in the long run.

Learning how to learn - Series on how you answer your own questions using PIOsolver and databases analysis for MTTs

Using GTO as a baseline for exploitation - how we establish a GTO baseline and how we exploit opponents deviations from that, cheers :)

+1 i love the idea. Monkersolver based videos for preflop and postflop would be great too

Hey,

Id really like à video with someone using is HUD effectively on close call and explaining how To understand those stats while playing.

Also, would love To see Cameron couch back :)
Btw: im essential member

Thanks

Also intéressed in spinNgo videos. I saw Steve Paul séries and wanted more. Please give us one or pe5t me know if there is any other videos right now

why it made you uneasy?

Hey dreamstrike13,

I tried To find other sites To learn the game and strats and cant really find anything. I saw smartspin that look cool but not sure i can get To the member session. If you can recommand à few it Will be nice of toi.

In the meantime, ill try To watch some HU here.
Thanks

Hi RIO team,

You have a lot of guys who are doing the hard work with solvers for us and I really love the more detailed output of analysing a hand and showing us what the solver recommends as a balanced strategy and then sharing opinions on the population tendencies. I am happy to keep paying my fee's for these great video's!

However, I just bought monkersolver and I would love an introduction to using solvers video. I took one semester of game theory in university but I don't know what node locking is, or I am getting results which I don't trust and find it hard to verify my answers.

There's a load of people charging $1000 for preflop solutions but I would prefer to learn these programs myself and any instruction would be greatly appreciated.

I have loved the addition of Cory Mikesell and Richard Gryko, I'm sure these guys would be able to give some insight. I am asking primarily for PLO but I am curious about NLHE as well.

Zoom low stakes - How to determine weak ranges, and attack them.
How rake changes game strategy across limits (like defending vs 3bets IP/OOP)

If smth of this is already discussed, please show me the way:) but not to old vids, as they might be outdated.

Would like to see some monkersolver postflop theory videos especially looking at betsizing

I want to see a video that would solve the following problem : I do agree that in poker we need to be balanced. But I guess, sometimes, we do not want to be balanced anymore since we want to exploit something we observed in our opponent. For example, If I know for some reason that my opponent would call a huge bet while I got a boat in a particular spot, but in the same time, I know that in that spot, I would check the vast majority of the time because my range is weak. In other words, when to leave out GTO and go to exploitative strategy? Sorry for my english ;)

It seems like short-deck/6+ hold 'em is probably here to stay, so some materials on that game would be appreciated!

Please add some PLO progressive KO mtts many thanks.

I'd like a PLO series that could be called "Deviants" focussing specifically on the most important spots where human players deviate from GTO. Phil Galfond often touches on this, and it would be great to delve into this with more detail, so we can better grasp the spots where we may be misapplying solver-based knowledge. As a predominantly live player, this is very important to me. On that note, I would also like more material on multiway pots.
