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.
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.
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

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!
