yeahthatsme,
what is a crappy blank turn on this board? A rainbow king?
Or do you mean from villains' point of view so a Q be a blank?
Or would you count T or 9 non club also as they shouldn't make too many straights in PLO8?

Maybe you got things scrolling better on the later episodes (and I was planning to point out this only after I'd seen all of the ones published so far but fell off the wagon at around 50 minutes) but I have to put in a technical bit of advise. Actually I've seen this in other videos on DC also, so please relay this to the coaches's coffeeroom:

1)
When you have 4 tables, please refer to them as
12
34

If there are 6 it's
123
456

2) When you're doing these kind of "Mentor" type videos ( I mean there's 2 persons talking on a pre-recorded footage), and you're not physically in the same location (which I assume is the case here):
Please have the student record the view and conversation and simultaneously relay the table (over skype, teamviewer, what ever you like) to the "Mentor". If the "Mentor" has notes on a hand he can tell the student to go to timestamp 50:50 or what ever.
OR have the "Mentor" control the recording and playback of the footage and relay the stuff back to the student so he knows what hand is under discussion.

Thing get very messy when the two of you talk about timestamps and aren't clear on which hand and which street you're talking about. It's extra messy on this side of the screen, I can tell you.

I may be overly optimistic here (table 4), but why not bet(fold) at this limped pot in position. Hero has a pair, gs, 2 backdoor flushes and the 4th nut low draw. Not a nutty hand but lots of ways to win at half is someone continues. The early position players must have huge hands/draws to continue (unlikely they're slowplaying the nuts), and if the late position player had huge hands/draws, they would have bet those.

If semibluffing at 5 other players is a bit too much, would you consider bluffing at this pot against 4? 3? 2?

I'd say any offsuit K,J,T, 9 or deuce. A 5 or ace isn't bad either. A Q or 7 would be great cards for us.

Yeah we can incorporate the table numbering I think.

As far as the other, we actually recorded the 1st vid that way and were planning on it for the series but found we had way too many audio glitches in the recording. Both of us would prefer it to be honest.

It's really way to coordinated and wouldn't serve any purpose. You wouldn't be betting for value or as a bluff, just bloating the pot. If you felt really confident that you wouldn't get check/raised and no one would donk the turn, maybe you could come up with an argument for betting to see all streets, after that, but again, wouldn't be so great given our equity. 4 players, would depend more on the players. 3 players betting would be ok.
