    I would prefer if you played four tables all the time, but if you were to mix it up and play fewer tables you should probably play fewer tables when you play PLO. The reason being that when you play NLHE we expect you to talk about high content for advanced players which might be harder to come across, but when you play PLO you seem to be geared towards intermediate players. Also, I would like you to play slightly looser, just add a "loosness" warning before raising a marginal hand.

    I dunno if others agree but I think it'd be better if you spread out the kinds of videos your making and even though its somewhat nice to have the last video in a series be from last week so that we still have some recollection of what the table dynamic and stuff was (which I'm sure isn't very meaningful since there was probably a week gap in which most of the table nuances r forgotten), i think it would be better to have like 1 6max nl, 1 hunl, 1 PLO hu, 1 PLO 6 max in an alternating rotation..

    super solid video! I like the format. Even if its not an action (big pots / high variance) video I learned a lot by thinking what I would do in you shoes. You have a plan for each situation and try to get the maximum out of each (try to avoid many marginal spots). You pick up a lot of small pots. I'm a NL Holdem player and know the basics of PLO but still have a lot of leaks (like checking to much to the PfRaiser). This is exactly the video format that fits me.

    liked the series very much! especially the more solid approach to the game... generally just keep it that way, its perfect suggestions for different formats: dual audio either w/ a selected member (not a total beginner, maybe a midstakes reg so its not totally basic and hes not just saying "amen" to everything u tell) or maybe a prerecorded session by a member commentated by you

    Another excellent and helpful video . . . four table or two, whichever you feel is better for you to instruct is the one I'd prefer. I would prefer these stakes or higher. It would be cool for you to do one video with the double buy-ins . . . there are many tables going at 2-4 deep afternoon+ on full tilt. It would also be helpful if you did a video at 10-20 or any other cap stakes to highlight the differences b/t 40, 100, 200, and 300+ effective stacks.

    Really enjoy the 2 table vids, and the prerecording plus commentary after is my fav style As far as future things, I'd love to see a vid that talks about turn play without initiative as far as when to semibluff the turn and when to just call and what factors you weigh that lead you to your decision.

    Nice job once again Phil! I would prefer higher limits but no complaints. You mentioned making a video showing the relative mathematical equities of the hands which seems like a great idea to me.

    another great vid obv. would like to see equity calcs and how your decisions vary deep vs CAP games. Also would like to see how preflop changes given 40bb and other variables like position is less important(i think) etc.

    Hi Phil

    Hi Phil While I thought this video was very good in its content (ie your analysis of the hands you play) I feel that the average player (ie me) needs more. There are many hands that you fold without much apparent thought that many lesser players would play and get in trouble with. How about making a video reviewing some commonly misplayed situations. Maybe you could do a 'Hand of the week' type thing where you spot a big weakness in somebody's line and discuss that.

    Really good PLO video. I like the 2 tabling as it allows you to flesh out your thoughts more and go into other scenario's, which is exteremely helpful. One thing you do really well when making videos is taking your time for your thoughts. A lot of video produces talk really fast and go through things very quickly. It would be great to see you do a 25/50 video like this. I think it would bring up a ton more interesting spots and it would probably play significantly different.

    I think I am the only thinking this video is boring. Phil plays so tight so we dont see much action. If you play so tight please take 4 tables so more situations show up. Now its just waiting and see you folding decent hands.

    hey phil! another super perfect video in my opinion. 1. i would like to see some tougher spots 2. do u always play that tight?? or do u play looser at high stakes? because i think playing that tight against tough opponents i to easy to read.(not for me of course). so if u play looser can u do a high stakes vid were u play that loose and explain the differences?? 3. i would love to see u playing some real tough opponents like ivey, durrrr, antonius hu! is this possible?

    I thought the first video in this series was a little bit more exciting, but I did enjoy the commentary about stack sizes and avoiding situations where short stackers can put you into tough spots.
