Very curious, do you opt to not use a hud kevin? If so, why not?
Great video, this series is why I've come back to RIO vids again.

Hey Phil, please excuse me for the wall of text, I just feel that I have such a massive opportunity being able to communicate with the world's most famous successful PLO player, so I have to take it while I can.
I've recently gotten into PLO after having small success at NLHE over the past 6 years (able to beat 100nl). I've really enjoyed PLO after only having played it for the past few days after noticing my passion for hold'em dwindle slightly, and I feel like I'm picking up PLO super quick as the complexity of the game really satisfies my mind more and I'm able to play much more engaged, in turn bringing already a decent winrate (I'm already beating 25nl over 3 thousand hands). I'm slightly torn as although enjoy PLO, I'm unsure of whether I should focus on what I THINK (please correct me) makes more money in the long-run: NLHE MTTS > NLHE CASH > PLO CASH. My thought process is that MTTS is the most popular and arguably softest form of poker. However, I don't enjoy 25bb poker. I can however say that my enjoyment is in the order of: PLO CASH > NLHE CASH > MTTS.
Basically, which game should I be playing based on my concerns (not necessarily my current beliefs)?
In PLO and poker in general, what is your general approach to success, in terms of when I should play, how my mental approach to learning should be, how much I should play.
Also, if you could please make a summary of which main resources my learning should come from, and a loose time ratio for each. I would GREATLY appreciate it. I'm currently unaware of which solvers or resources (apart from RIO of course :)) I should be using to improve at a rapid pace. How important is it that I have a few friends to run hands past that I'm unsure about?
Thank you very much for your attention to these video comments.
And great video, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would love if you kept up this fast-paced practical format.

Hey Paul, great video and congrats on becoming an elite coach.
I know it's a lot to ask, but could you please tell me all of the Main HUD stats that you're using. I've been struggling to find a perfect balance between too few and too many, and I really like how organised your Main HUD is structured.
Thanks.

You have a brilliant poker mind and it's very beneficial to see things from your perspective. Very refreshing content.

Yes x/r would be the best play on a non paired turn since you have the best blocker for a bluff (Ac). Forget about stack depth, it's more that you have very very little (probably less than 15%) showdown value when it goes x/c turn and x/x river. You probably wouldn't want a leading range as his flop betting range is stronger than your flop calling range, and I imagine a turn club being fairly neutral (if anything slightly favoring his range as you over-called BB with more weaker flushes while he has more stronger ones)

Thanks Tyler, I find it easy to follow your videos as I assume our approach to logic is similar. Because of this could you please suggest to me any other poker books that you PERSONALLY found to have a strong influence on your understanding of the game? Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Hey Tyler, excellent video as usual. I was struggling to understand the math process of calculating the GTO frequencies and what they imply. Could you please tell me specific resources that would be of great help? Whether it be a book or a series of videos or both. Ultimately I want to be able to apply the same processes that you use when figuring out when to overbluff/underbluff or overcall/undercall
Thanks a lot!

Hi ben, could you PLEASE tell me what the 8 HUD stats (the bottom 2 lines) are when you play 6 max zoom?
I've been trying to figure out for weeks and it's killing me, as I'd really like to copy them.
I'd really appreciate a reply,
thanks mate.

20:47, I slightly disagree. At first glance it seems to make sense to play GTO when your opponent is doing weird 'unknown things'. However, reg or not, we know for sure that he is making very bad calls (no amount of soul reading can justify that T8 call). Therefore at the time of the adjustments on the flop with 46s we SHOULD be playing exploitative by obviously bombing thin value and only bluffing with strong bluffs. Like, we should be bombing any pair on the flop expecting a call from any Ace. If we assume he's definitely fishy and possibly tricky too, you're still more likely to be ahead of his calling range. Turns out he is a bit tricky, and had the top of his range, but I still think he's fishy and you should be betting thin value if you had it.
