Picking your best results to show is not exactly "transparency", it is a bit misleading to the clients of RIO.
And It is very logical to assume that you did not show zoom results because your winrate drops.
As saulo did.
The way he addressed this matter is a different topic. Probably he could have chosen a better way to speak.
Also,on the images you show us in the comment,it is under Alias. Can you please show only PS zoom results?
You say that your do not produce zoom videos and that is the reason you did not show all the results,but thats irrelevant in my opinion.
They way you think and teach poker should not change because it is zoom.
That is not an excuse.
I also think elite videos should be content of high quality that target mainly mid-highstakes audience. Not "lets record another random session without imagination and not explaining anything properly , so that we get the paycheck" (Like some other coaches do).thats not about you,I havent watched any of your videos tbh.
But I did watch this one, your first "Elite" video.
Do you really claim that this "Poker 2019" video is the high quality content we would expect from an "Elite" video?
I would say it is entry level content and also thos topics are
discussed in many other Rio videos.
Was talking about this kind of stuff your best choice/effort??
I hope its just a bad choice and you will create many greater videos from now on.
Do not be like other coaches that produce low level content every single time.
Good luck for poker 2020

@22:21 I guess we should not bet a high frequency vs a btn flat and 3way,right?
And apart from QT 9T QQ KK type hands that we lose and some Jx that CO bets the flop with, what worse hands CO calls with?are the Jx combos of CO (that are in cbet range) that the AJ can get value ,more than the other combos that beat AJ?also its dangerous because AJ might face a checkraise with this line.
So I think its not a clear valuebet maybe?What do you think is wrong with the above thinking?
Also can you elaborate a bit on how you construct cbet range in this spot?

Let us all take a moment to mourn the unjust loss of the 98 of clubs @ 3:23

Hello tyler, nice video and impressive check back A9s.
At the 33 hand against the rec, what would be the line if the 8 on the turn was heart, or any heart?

Hello teunuss, nice vid. I hope more people would make videos of sessions that nothing goes their way, because I think it is of great educational value. That said, I hope you run little bit better than that :)
34:40 table 2 you miss a cbet with A7dd on a board that it has very good barrelling potential. Is this a check you do with some frequency or just a spot you missed because you were busy with other hands? If it is a frequency play, can you elaborate a little bit on your plan after checking and why you put this hand on your checking range?

About the 38:05 AK call down, don't you think that it is wrong choice combo-wise to have a spade in our hand since we obv don't make this call with 100% of our AK combos?
Also, about 44:15 AK hand on table 2, can you explain why you don't even contemplate raising turn and don't find value in betting river, given his turn bet sizing on a spot that he should be expecting a bet from us extremely often.

Hello Tyler, great vid.
I think that on the excel sheet you create around 29:00 you have a mistake. When calculating the EV of "Always Call" strategy you give OP a value-only range although his strategy on excel sheet is 50 val / 50 bluff. Obviously, the EV of always calling can not be 0% of pot, if he ever bluffs.

Very nice video! Can you tell us the winrates of the best regs from the other positions?
Sept. 28, 2015 | 8:56 p.m.
Very good video/ format / time spent on its hand for me

yeah you keep saying that if he shows you 68 you are very happy to get it in...even if he has a like 6h8skhkc with no other blocker as5s7h9h
Hand Equity Wins Ties
ahactc6s 30.00% 12 0
6h8skhkc 70.00% 28 0 ..you have only 30%..
After you bet you need 43,9% to break even so it seems bad..And as ibo said i dont think he gets it in so deep with 2 pair or set .Seems like the way you played it was optimal

Very nice video.Perfect time devoted to every hand for me at least
Feb. 10, 2015 | 5:43 p.m.
Best format for me as well.
Feb. 10, 2015 | 1:47 a.m.
How did you came up with 27% and 39% respectively in 15.00 aprox of the video...It seems to me propability of the range be ne-10 given tha he shoved should be 0,47* 0,47 = 0.22 and propability of range ne+10% 0.67 * 0.67 = 0.45%
That is very unfair for saulo.
Its too obvious you are biased.
You gotta chill.
