Not sure if anyone else agrees but I find it bad form to hide hero's SN but show villain's. 

I agree 

i think it's a viable strategy to hide hero's sn

+1

This was really surprising and disappointing to see, I'd like to hold RIO to higher standards than this.  Always hiding opponent screen names in HU matches seems like a fair and simple policy.  Unless otherwise agreed between the players.

+1 on the SN thing its not rocket science

Ehm.. Phil can you look at this? :)

Terrible manners the SN thing. Michael W you should def out hero's sn. Very disappointed with RIO.

I agree that's the best option. Honestly I wouldn't mind having my sn outed if I could get my game analyzed like this but really poor judgement to just hide hero's sn. Expected more of RIO.

On a happier note I thought this was an interesting video. Gotta a couple questions.

1- Phil when you say all 3 plays are viable, does that mean we should be doing some % of the 3? Obv depending on the villain it might be best to just do one but what if he's being balanced and seems solid? If it is the case that we should be doing some % of the 3, how would you decide the frequencies?

2- It seems that one of the biggest differences between 2/4-5/10 regs and the higher stakes regs is intensity. Would you agree with that?

I just upgraded to Elite and I have to say that this content is just what I expected. Phil's analysis and commentary is thorough and honest. I am curious about a few spots.

1 - At 32:00 into the video, we make a 'somewhat-standard' x/c with QcTcQs8c on Jh7d5s. Given how villian doesn't seem high intensity, that we kind of block strong straight draws and that we don't have a backdoor flush draw (or is this a reason to not x/r?), is it okay to just x/r the flop and try to take it down here some of the time?

2 - At about 37:55, we flat KdJdAc4h and x/f a monotone spades A73 flop. Is this standard or only vs aggro villians that barrel a lot? Are we folding because we don't have a spade blocker even though we may be doing okay in hot-and-cold equity? 

You get a chance to have all your hands critiqued. You can then plug leaks that are identified. Also it's only showing hole card that went to SD. They aren't sharing anything people couldn't see from railing the game. 

I personally wouldn't mind having my SN out and I'm not sure I'd have a right to be upset about it if I did, although many others seem to share your opinions so maybe I'm missing something. 

I am the Hero in this video and I am also the one to blame for the editing of the video. I sent in the video as it is view here on RIO. In heinsight I should have edited out villains SN too and also asked him for permission to send in the video in the first place. 

I think the question of displaying screen name is interesting. I did for example think "fake or real" was a fish but after Phil's videos I try to stay away from him and my reads on "Genedir" (spelling?) have total change after watching isildroons videos.

As Tom pointed out it is a big difference in showing the hole cards and only seeing the action. That's why I made it a condition before I sent in the video to hide my screen name (as I myself edit out).

Michael W seams to be a very good guy who is happy to give action and play with very good HU ethics. Therefor it feels sad that he feels this way over the publication of this video and I like to apologize to him.

Hey guys.  I'm on my phone in a WSOP event. I've been in events since this video went up so I haven't had time to respond properly yet, but I asked our guys to edit the video and re-upload.  Both names should now be hidden.

Villain, (calling you villain because we could delete all posts with your RIO name if you'd like), I appreciate you expressing your concerns calmly and reasonably. I was forwarded your email by RIO support.

I've got more to say but don't have the time or focus right now (this post has spanned 20 hands). I'll be in touch via email and here once I get the chance. 

Albin, I very much appreciate you posting to take responsibility, but the content RunItOnce releases is solely our responsibility. You have nothing to apologize for.

Take care, guys.  Thanks for your patience- summer is a busy time for me.

A245 hand(last hand of video)

We saw villain ch/r A93r with air+backdoor's(which seems fine), but then he checks to give up when he turned some equity rather than betting and trying to steal our equity/realize his equity.  It seems weird to me that he would ch/r total air and then all of a sudden check on a turn that brings him more perceived equity.  Logically, if our 0 equity semibluffs get a fold x% of the time, our EV is the % he folds *pot -% he calls * our bet.  However, when we gain equity our semibluff becomes more attractive because now the times our semibluff gets called, we don't lose all of our turn bet.  Given that, I don't understand his turn check.  His 7x rarely has showdown value, but it's a better turn card for his hand compared to say a ten in terms of outs(the quality of his 2pr/trips outs are weaker on a 7 than a T which could be his reasoning for giving up).  I suppose the only reason I can come up with is that he thinks even after turning some equity, he won't get enough immediate turn folds, and the times he is called on the turn his outs aren't live enough coupled with expecting to get outplayed on rivers a fairly significant % of the time.

  I think you covered his river thought process well and the adjustment seems rather obvious.  So, I'm hoping you could go a bit more in depth on what you think the best adjustments are for Hero on flop and turn now that we've seen him take this line.
