Great video, Steve. This type of work is key to being a great player. I laughed at the Q8hh hand. "The solver is sometimes playing a different game than I'm playing" is basically how I feel 99% of the time.
I really liked that you have the hand history thing open below your tables to see the frequencies instantly. I like how much you can customize the sims in PIO's trainer, but I'm always annoyed by having to mouse over "show last action feedback" to get it to pop up. It feels really stupid to not have done that in retrospect.
Do you use multiple XR sizes per flop while playing? One thing I like to do is create custom sims with the actual flop sizes I would use in the game per board, and lump them all into one folder for the drills. So maybe 25%-30% is the "standard" XR for monotone flops, so you could run a batch with those, but then something like 100% is the standard XR for something like a double broadway etc. Doing it that way will also be more accurate if you actually only use 1 size per flop because the flop strategy will represent what you actually do, but the turn follow-up will also be more accurate because it reflects your actual range.
Ultimately, when you're doing the drills, a monotone flop comes up and the small XR is the only size, but then an AQx board comes up and pot could be your only size. If it isn't useful to you, there could be viewers that find that helpful because it reflects the ranges they'll actually play.
Thanks, appreciate the kind words (and not often I get a HS reg commenting on my videos!)
That's a good idea about the custom sims by board type. I do that for flop cbetting, not sure why I haven't done it for raise size as well, but obviously that would be an improvement over the current system of having both raise sizes even though I only use 1 per flop.
re: hand history thing for seeing frequencies, having to mouse over for freqs used to be my biggest complaint about pio, can't remember who showed me that idea but it definitely improved the pio experience!

Love your videos. It's nice to just be able to follow along as you do the drilling.
Thanks!

Great work. Keep it up!
