I've really been enjoying your content and this video was no exception; the 99 fold was especially insightful!

1:00 - Is there a smaller size than 6bb that would accomplish the same thing for less investment, or is 6bb specifically the optimal size given the current stacks?

Also, with those stacks I struggled to see how we could ever raise/fold, since it seems like SB doesn't have to be super tight in order to shove their 15bb, and thus, BB doesn't have an obvious fold with hands like 99/88 - especially when they're a 133bb chip leader.

21:10 - I don't quite follow the reasoning of "SB will be 3-bet/calling wide so we want to jam linearly"; shouldn't SB's 3-bet-non-all-in range be polar to premium hands and stuff that can fold to a jam? I thought most of SB's supposed 3-bet/calling range that we still do well against (i.e., mid pocket pairs) would just be 3-bet-jammed himself in the first place.

Good video! I like the emphasis on your thought processes rather than sims. Obviously, looking at sims is crucial, but there's a lot of sim-analysis content out there (not to mention cheap access to GTO Wizard, etc), whereas opportunities to observe super-high-roller brainsolving are a lot less commonplace.

Also, hearing a coach openly roast recreational players instead of being diplomatic was a breath of fresh air haha

Great content, would love to see more stuff like this! Surprised that you didn't like the A2 flat BTNvCO in Badugi (@ 40:30) since almost everyone I've played against is sticky with premium D2s. I imagine if we're supposed to fold that then we're only supposed to flat D2s from the BB?

This has to be one of the highest EV videos I've seen on this site. Gimme an entire product where you just do meta-analyses of other people's play-and-explains!

Great video, pretty funny to watch in light of the Postle scandal haha

@22:22 So he goes into the tank, but then snap calls as soon as he checks Villain's nationality...I haven't seen that move since the old school Aaron Jones videos lol

Amazing video as usual; I've gotten so much value from RIO, but your videos in particular are probably the best on the entire site.

At 43:30, on the double-suited turn, you comment that if you had one of each suit, you would lower the equity of IP's semi-bluffs, and thus increase your range-vs-range equity. But don't such cards also block IP's semi-bluffs in the first place, and thus weight his range more towards made hands (that we are obviously doing very poorly against)?

At 45:49, with the A river, you comment that the value of your straight blocker is negligible since you never have a straight in your range. Could you elaborate on why that's important? I was under the impression that it was only relevant whether we blocked a straight in his range.

18:00 - "Here are the rules to Pot Limit Omaha if you're a Run It Once Elite member and don't know the rules..."

lol

The description mistakenly says Apotheosis instead of Christopher George.

Phil Galfond At least for me, I would have liked a better view of both tables at the same time. That being said, having a window with you in it actually did make it a more engaging video for some reason. Maybe next time have both tables open at the same size, with a smaller window of you in the bottom-right.

re: your 2nd para: I think you did a great job stating the action in this video
