Hi Seth,
thanks for putting out HQ content again!
After the first 15 minutes of footage looking at the party tables, there is not one rec at any of the tables and even no weaker/unknown reg. Do you think people really make any kind of money in these things? Say you consider yourself to be one of the best regs in the field, who is beating the rake, how much ROI can you expect to make? 3% max? Firing 10ks/25ks where you have a ROI that is slightly above BE seems like a nice proposition if you are looking for million $ swings.
So basically my question is, what the motivation behind playing those fields is. Prestige or nicely put a whole lot of d+#! swinging?
Btw I am quite sure the footage on the left has already been in one of your vids.
"even no weaker reg"
This is your assumption, I think it is wrong to imagine all those players have the same skill level. They are all strong players but there skill levels are not equal. Some are much stronger than others.
yeah i agree playing in these tournaments makes literally no sense unless you are Linus. even then, it's not as if he is crushing and making a ton of money either.
i guess that you could say playing in these fields is good 'training' for much softer, live tournaments. so perhaps this is one of the main reasons for doing so. even if he is breakeven or slightly losing, his ROI in a $25k live tournament will be very high, and even higher as a result of playing in this extremely tough fields.
so my assumption is that the players involved are just using these tournaments to stay sharp so that they don't fall too far behind other elite mtt players. cos from an ROI standpoint almost every player in the field will be losing after rake, bar the best few players.
Nice vid, Seth! How do you train? Do you use any GTO trainer or just use PIO after the session on interesting hands? Ty
Great content thanks
Hey Seth!
I am a fan of your videos generally but a lot of this footage you have used before and obviously I do not appreciate the repetition when paying 100ish$ per month.
I suspected that the tournaments took place last year around May but I didn't realize straight away. However, the K2cc ringed a bell (4th June 2020) and the Q9ss vs O'Dwyer you have even showed a sim for (16th June 2020). This was just those I remembered and looked for, there is a strong chance more of the footage is reused.
yeah i agree i feel like the quality of Seth's content has decreased recently. obviously this video is a little older now, but i remember in the past he would pull up a ton of sims and go through a bunch of different spots which was always very interesting. now it just seems about making a short 30 minute video of live play with maybe one sim thrown in there for good measure.
honestly i think the quality of mtt content on this site is pretty poor. if i was playing mtt's full time i would almost certainly join another training site instead. i started using BenCB's pairrd app and i have learned much more from that in a couple weeks than a couple years of watching random mtt videos on RIO.
i think the cash game content is much better fwiw, so that's why i stick around (and also i like the community of course).
Nice video Seth. Really like the format where you’ll play talk about the frequencies etc and then break out into the pio work for the trickier spots. Good stuff here
