Hi dudes ....I have a question about maybe quite funny poker stuff. Its some sort of fundamentals i guess. Is better to watch whole video series like Baby steps and coaching tree in a row or mix it like monday 1st epizode of baby steps then wednesday 1 epizode of coaching tree and then sunday maths of NLHE you know what i mean ? I would like to increase my learning curve maybe it doesn´t matter but still thank for you comments

Personally I tend to find a series that holds my attention and keep watching it until I feel the need to switch my focus for a bit. It's a ymmv type of question tbh. Different strokes for different folks.
In your instance I'd watch the whole of baby steps then start dipping into other series. It's good to nail the fundamentals before looking at other topics.

I think that of the series you listed Math of NLHE is the most valuable one. (I think it is one of the most valuable series on DC overall) For me it was such an eye-opener - especially after watching for the 3rd time 
Baby Steps with Tubasteve and Coaching tree are very good series as well, but If you told me you can only watch one of the 3 series I'd strongly suggest math. And I urge you to re-visit it after a while because it will sink in so much deeper if you watch more then once.
After you understand the math behind the madness you will also have a much easier time understanding and anticipating what Tubaseve and Balugawhale discuss in their videos. You will also be able to take in a lot more information and absorb it easier that way. At least for me that seems to be working.

Agree that it's personal preference. Personally I find it difficult to switch from one series to another and work through the ideas as thoroughly as I would if I concentrated on a single series at a time.
Also agree that Math of NLHE is an ideal place to start. If you're looking at ideas on how to maximize your time investment in DC/watching videos, you may also want to watch The Haj School.

I mean like if it is better to watch whole series in a row or to switch the epizodes like if it is better to watch like 1,2,3,4,5,6 epizodes of serie X and then 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 epizodes of Y or it is better to watch like 1 of X then 1 of Y then 2 of X. It is not like a can watch only tree series i´m not limited

I guess this is a personal preference thing. For some people one might work better then the other and vice versa.
Some people prefer to stick to one series, others crave for a bit more diversity.
See what works best for you. It's just like in school how you do your homework/reading assignments for different classes. Some might prefer doing one book at a time, while others tend to do a chapter of chemistry then a chapter of geography then back to chemistry etc.
In general I wouldn't worry too much about this aspect. Just do what you think works best for you and what feels the most natural, fun, and rewarding.
But definitely take breaks, good notes, and review them while re-watching videos. You will notice many things that you missed or simply didn't understand the first time through.
From my experience, many concepts discussed will only "click" after re-visiting the episode or discussing the video in the thread.
