Not a huge sample at the smaller sizing (only ~10k hands)

Using 55% sizing - Flop Cbet 57%, Cbet Success (vs 1 opponent) 44%, Cbet Success (vs 2) 36%
Using 33% sizing - Flop Cbet 64%, Cbet Success (vs 1) 35%, Cbet Success (vs 2) 31%

I started feeling like I was getting played back at and floated constantly, could have just been running bad over the small sample. Anyway, thanks for making a vid at these stakes!

Whenever I've tried using very small cbets at these stakes my cbet success drops dramatically - especially bvb. You mentioned that people are over-folding to cbets, are you sure they still over-fold to this sizing? It's something I've tried to implement a few times but I end up getting frustrated at getting floated so much.

I also enjoyed the video, would be interested in any further maths vids.

I recognised the game but the solution on the wiki page made my eyes glaze over!

Will there be any noticeable changes to content?

There was some discussion in another thread ("Why is 90% of RIO videos live play") that I've been checking on periodically - a staff member indicated that they were working on some stuff but that was 5 months ago. If the price increase is tied into that then I'm all for it. If the content is simply going to be more "watch me play zoom" then for me personally it's not worth it.

So after the above discussion Essential is increasing from $9.99 to $24.99/month, is it a straight price increase or are there any changes planned? Not too much has changed since "Mikey Stotz" post 5 months ago - Iain Salter's vids have been good but still the same format ("watch me play Zoom").

If the coaches are getting paid the same per video then it's understandable that they prefer to spend 45 mins making a live video (as opposed to maybe a whole day preparing/making/editing a theory vid). It's disappointing though, if you sort videos by "top rated" it's clear that non-live vids are preferred.

Not sure where to post this - the video library is missing a filter for "Other" under game type. Mindset vids are posted under this tag so it'd make them easier to find.

Hi, works fine for me on Android. Most of the bad reviews seem to be from Essential members trying to use the app before it was opened to everyone (it wasn't communicated very well that the app was Elite-only previously).

On the Learning Path for NLHE both 4-Betting and Small Blind only have Elite vids listed. Would be nice to have at least one Essential vid for each category - especially as more advanced topics have (GTO) have plenty of Essential vids.

The app works great, much easier than trying to use the website on tablet.

Would it be possible to add the ability to change playback speed to the app?

Agreed.

On other sites I've enjoyed videos with more than one person involved - two coaches (with one sweating the other), two coaches reviewing/discussing a students footage, a coach reviewing a session with a student etc. The latter especially have always proven popular.

The Pro View videos on RIO are a step in that direction but I've not encountered any yet with the student involved in the video, it leads to plenty of spots where the coach says "I think that's a leak... or maybe you're adjusting to the game conditions/opponents... hmm". With the student involved there could be immediate feedback/discussion.

The quality on RIO is definitely higher than I've encountered on other training sites but there doesn't seem to be as much effort to make interesting/engaging content.

Great video, looking forward to the next one.

I'm also in the UK, I use Paypal for USD transactions - much lower fees than my bank. Some credit cards have 0% fx charges, I know Halifax do one.
