Great vid thank you so much for this live play analysis! Can’t wait for the next parts!

I found it especially helpful when you covered briefly how to adjust given how we expect villain/the pool to be playing. Idk what footage you may have accessible but it would be highly entertaining as well as educational for some review of lineups with a few more players that are a little bit less solver-inclined.

I definitely agree with the common notion that playing against the best is the best way to get better and also understand you didn't draft this lineup lol, just a suggestion for something that might be a little more indicative of the type of lineup we might see in your avg mistakes live game. How solvers are playing multiway spots, as well as spots that simply aren’t vs other solvers are two categories that kinda get stiffed in terms of content imo.

In any event, this was great stuff, looking forward to more.

Some future spots some may find useful to drill in this situational fashion might be: call 3b multiway as pfr or as flatter), bb defend mw pots, squeeze/mw 3b pot oop.
We get a ton of heads up n top tier online footage -which is awesome- but in consideration for your US and other patrons who are legally not allowed to play online, it would augment RIO’s value proposition significantly to get some more repetitions from laggy/splashy multiway environments, thus giving us a lot more conceptual carryover to the live plo arena.
There is severe lack in of this content on training sites, but no lack for demand. Known as somewhat anomaly in online poker, games like this get cursory analysis if mentioned at all, but as you know there arise many intricate, complex and highly exploitable spots in laggy games that, despite their anomalous nature, invoke concepts strategies and adjustments that occur at high frequencies.
Thanks as always for your help whenever you can, you da man. Phil Galfond 50stacksteve

Said it on #2 and I’ll say it again this is an exceptional format for improving your poker game situationally. The unconscious competence and detachment gained from drilling spots like this is invaluable. I remember a vid you did long ago where we drilled a bunch of hands in a row where AAxx lost, or we lost 3b pots over and over: ‘we have Aces, we lose, so what’. That line alone had a profound effect on my poker mentality, eased a lot of angst, and made me comfortable with the spot thru repetition. Thanks for that and thanks for these! Please more when you have time :)

Love this video love this format! It helps so much to be able to categorize situations like this and drill them with repetition, like the old days of math class. There is very little of this format out there and it is much appreciated, keep it coming please sir!
