I find even 4-tabling videos quite confusing to follow sometimes. There are spots where you're waiting for action without saying anything and I need to keep an eye on all boards. At other times there are multiple hands going on, you'll unavoidably miss some action on one of them and then just guess what happened instead of going through the hassle of rewinding. And sometimes you'll talk about a hand you just folded, but you didn't pause in time because you didn't expect to see a fold, so I need to rewind myself to see what it was.
I personally would prefer to see these videos cropped so that just 2 tables are visible at a time. So instead of X minuets of 4-tabling content, you would have 2X minutes of 2-tabling content. I don't imagine it would be much more work to review, since you'd be pausing a lot less. The final length of the videos might end up being quite similar too.
Just to throw this in, I prefer the 4 tabling format for Elite videos, there's not much explaining needed for why we're folding certain hands pre. This way so many more interesting and tough postflop spots can be explored.
Hey Phil, good to hear you again. I quit online poker after Black Friday (being an American) and am just getting back into it again. I can't say how thankful I am for your excellent coaching. You were my favorite back then, and are still. I cried a figurative tear of joy when I saw you commentating in depth (as if you were coaching us) on the GPL heads-up tables, and was thrilled to see that you are still teaching, thus the reason why I signed up for an Elite membership (as well as your site having many other excellent coaches). Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and that I seriously and sincerely appreciate you. You have helped me improve my game immensely over many, many years. So thanks, I'm glad to be back, and keep up the great work!

I like the 6-tabling format - especially the mix of 6max, shorthanded and HU
I'm rooting for this to be a long series!
you can play as many tables as you want while you do not forget to pause them

Good suggestion. Thank you. I've done this for a couple of videos, but I think both were Essential. I will keep it in mind for future series.

I'm glad I've been able to help you improve and I hope that I (we) continue to! Thank you for the kind words, and welcome to Run It Once!
