Great episode as always. Anyway how many episodes will be in this series (hopefully many more)?
Also great points regarding "naked A" bluffing, have to agree that the "bet bet bet" line rarely works when in position and checked to at 100 and 200PLO.
But thats alot for this great series feel much stronger and more confident in my play after 3 weeks and a few k hands.

I really like the analysis but i think the videos are much more beneficial when you show all hands instead of a select few, it just flows so much better seeing every hand...
I prefer the much more detailed analysis of hands vs a "live sweat" type video, just because I learn so much in terms of how to think about PLO and the differing situations. From there I can infer it onto my own play much better and build upon it with my own thoughts and experiences. Especially without a ton of experience playing PLO if I where to sweat someone much better than me, I probably would miss 90% of what they are doing and why they are doing it and what factors they are thinking about when making specific plays and counter-strategies etc.

We definitely understand this and wanted to give you a taste of both types of coaching in this video - just because of how me coaching Emil worked, we decided to do it in this order, but episodes 5-7 will be consist of me coaching while Emil plays live. Hope those will have what you're looking for!

Hey Vanessa I have watched a lot of videos from CR, Leggo and DC and I must say you're definitely in the top 3 of the best teachers among all these sites. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next NL holdem serie!

I actually like the focus on a select few hands at the beginning of a series, especially if it's on a topic that the student is doing wrong often. It drives the point home on a game theory point of view. Later in the series, you can then apply it to a live game situation: "Remember when I told bla bla with a wrap and a flush draw...?"

I liked everything and agree about the cr note. My question is on the qqj2 hand, I play 1-2plo but i think that k9xx and 99xx are check raising all in on the turn so often that its more profitable to pot the river. Also because the qq really isnt going to show down much at all. I feel that although it unbalances your range, potting it for bluffs and smaller for value bets is a nice bonus to playing the smaller stakes. Thoughts?
