    Not sure if i like the half & half videos. I think that quite a few players focus solely on holdem or plo which renders the other half of the video somewhat useless Your plo replayer videos are the best imho.

    I think you are a better 6max PLO teacher than 6max NLHE, don't feel the you convey a good plan with what you want to achieve with the hand breakdowns, great condfidence, how to develop strategies better vs different perceived ranges in the latest NLHE hands I've seen you teach. I am a new member, what I would like to see is 6max PLO videos from you PL 1 k and up, more blogging, some tough HU matches vs people at slightly lower than what is your bread and butter so you wouldn't lose too much, sure a lot of people including me would be willing to play you if the username didn't come out in the video. Also could you possibly comment on some big interesting hands vs known players in the HSP and PAD big cash games, I am sure a lot of people including me would enjoy that. The 107J9 hand was really interesting with the rivercard, and very disgusting, kind of the typical big hand I lose live for way too many bbs and go home scratching my head. Sidenote, I haven't watched many videos, new member, just signed up and this is the first fresh video I could see after waiting a while, so was a little dissapointed to be honest. I rank you as the second best player in the world overall in the bigbet games after Ivey.

    I mean what do you expect, nosebleed plo has run daily for the last 2 years or so and nlhe has sort of dried up. It's no surprise Phil is a better plo teacher. That being said, his nlhe analysis is still top 5, imo.

    I am a mixed player and still like these half/half videos as I often play both games at the same time myself. That being said, it feels like you don't have much new insight in NLHE and it can sound like you are just re-re-re-hashing old concepts. I do still enjoy watching you play NL and I can get things out of them, but the lessons are often more from picking up on untalked about things like your ranges and frequencies of plays in different spots that can go uncommented on. I get a ton out of your PLO videos. Finally and most importantly, ANY content is what I really want, is there any way you can bring back the 1/week schedule? You are the only player on the site that still plays anywhere near mid/high stakes PLO or NL with any frequency, and without that kind of content coming out frequently I feel like I am losing value on my membership.

    Phil make more half/half videos. I am am a NLHE player but way too lazy to watch PLO. This way of methods is nice to continue increasing my maingame winrate and learn PLO without having to cut back from NLHE. Previously when I tried to learn PLO I fell out of my NLHE routine and the way games are getting better thats something I like to avoid. I do feel there are a lot of people feeling this way.

    I agree with emerald patek. I have a bluefire account solelyto watch Phils PLO Vids. I also dont like to much if he plays lower than 2/4. There are enough good mid stakes videos out there and you usually dont get the really interesting spots because there are few very good Regs and they not very tough / getting you in trouble a lot.

    I meant lower than 5 10 not 2 4. I think 10 20 is a good compromise and i love the 25 50 and higher videos :). if phil feels otherwise he gives away too much. On the other hand he is also gaining a lot here i guess.
