4 years later, still one of the best videos on site!

Love this series! I notice all your videos are around 35 minutes, is there a reason for that? I ask because I usually have a hard time concentrating for that long especially for weightier stuff like this. Has RIO ever done studies of this? Most people can't concentrate hard for longer than 20 minutes so I would imagine a lot of people stop watching 40 minute videos at the 25:00 minute mark. If Phil is paying by the hour tell him sometimes less is more!

Can you please explain more 7:50 ‘never check raise turn’

Thanks

Interesting…the problem I have in these spots is understanding the sd blockers. It would seem to me, we want to be unblocking the J to c/r since a lot of villains stabbing range will involve a J? AKJT we block everything except Q, so I would assume a lot of stabs come from Q? Thanks for the explanation.

Love these! 1st question of quiz 36:00 AKT5 nfd this is a fine check no? Or is it too strong we always bet?

Can you talk more about 11:16 top left? Surprised you thought this was close. Maybe I'm overfolding in these spots, but even against a 1/3 bet from btn this seems like a fold. If our hand held a better BDFD maybe c/r since population is over c-betting?

19:09 IP should be checking most of their nut BDFD, so I would think we bet our BDFD simply because of added equity and turns will be 'easier' to play?

Last hand vs Suhepx can you talk about his bet sizing? Would you treat this as a paired flop(certainly a lot dif than a KK8 flop) when neither player has many 2s or 99? Would think ip wants to bet bigger putting pressure on hands like KKxx and a hand like yours.

35:52 top left you mention c/r flop with sets and 2 pairs, what heuristics do you use when deciding which ones to c/r?

35:58 bottom left, I agree with doggo, b/f with nfd doesn't feel great. In retrospect do you think checking would be better? Is potting flop to 'commit ourselves' a thing?

So last hand left table, are you saying solver probably bets bigger on river but real world betting smaller makes more sense? I would usually bet big, but it does feel like I'm rarely getting called by worse.

Thanks!

Come on Phil, pay dat man his money!

2nd time watching these vids, more imbajimba will def keep me around!

+1 for video focused on SB cold call spots. Especially what flops we should have a high donking %

Great video, had to come back and watch it again!

thanks for this

What HUD stats are useful on Ignition? I also play there and almost never look at C-bet % since it's rare to play 100+ hands with someone, is this a mistake?

+1 for SCOOP-a-loop!

Hi Tom, Great vid. You touched a little bit on what hands these players are limping, what types of hands should we be iso-raising with? 

What were your other 2 cards?
