The format is a really good idea but there is soooo much time wasted on very basic decisions preflop. It is Elite content and I assume that everybody understands by now that many hands often will be mixed calls and 3-bets. By including that commentary (aswell as commentary from the coaches that aren't even involved in the hand anymore), we lose out on so many more situations that will yield a way higher learning EV.
I think commentary from players who are not involved in the hand anymore should only be included, if they strongly disagree with a line or a bet size that is being used.
Preflop commentary should be limited to plays that represent clear exploits. A rough approach to their preflop strategy could be outlined by everyone at the start of the series (as I think was done here anyway) and clearified in the comments if there are questions.

I really appreciate the knowledge and the skill of all the coaches and that a new format is being used, but those videos unfortunately feel more like entertainment than educational and fall behind their learning potential by a lot from my point of view. Still love you guys <3

Agreed that this series leaned very heavily toward entertainment vs learning on that spectrum (esp apotheosis commentary).

But that said, I still enjoyed it and would watch another of the same series. Sometimes I like watching RIO videos with a more lighthearted attitude, and this series works well for that (as did the old sit-n-go one).

I think this series was well done. I like the multiple points of view on each hand. I think if you do this again in nlh it should be higher stakes and potentially with an ante.

This would be a great series for plo.

30::20 mark btn rfi, sb 3bet, BB As2s. Is cold 4betting with AXs like 25% of the time here reasonable or is that too splashy? I assume both btn will Rfi wide and SB should be 3 betting 15-18% of hands. Leaves SB folding quite a lot of hands vs Bb cold 4 bet here imo.

Can someone explain why this is good or bad play?

Every coach talks about their bluffing range and I see 90% value bets. Would be nice to see a coach not just talk about it, but be about it!

Kevin is such a machine. calls out, not only every hand, but every thought of the opponents.
"its important to do this with other hands like K6"...."he showed a gutter on the turn, so he does this with other gutters aswell"..... killed me xD
