    Awesome set of videos, my favorite of all onsite. Your one table with great explanations was informative. Other trainers should use this as a template for videos going forward. Training videos should be about teaching and not just cramming in vids while they do their daily grind.

    Very good video and great commentary, the audio quality is better in this one, seems like there was some issues with the 1st vid. Crappy ending you were a favorite in the JTs hand all the way 🙁

    I have to disagree with all the “1 table is great” talk. 2 table is the minimum .. and 4 tables is the somewhat standard among training sites.
    What do you guys learn by watching Q4o, 83s, K9o, J6o etc. being folded for 10 minutes before an interesting hand comes up? I found this video rather slow and one of the weaker ones on this site.

    I would have to agree with you black, but this video was probably aimed at beginning players and the 1 table format keeps things simple. Interesting last hand though, just ran it through poker stove AQo vJTs heads up you have 41% equity against villains 51%, add in the third hand of AQs and you become favourite with your equity moving up slightly to 42.1% and the remaining 58% being split between the two other players, after the flop and turn you are 95% favourite. I know you state in the video that this was not a tilt shove but would you ever consider folding that hand there with 12.5 bb utg, as the other players could easily see this as tilt immediately after the cooler.

    respectfully, i really couldn’t disagree with you more with regard to making live sweats.

    i do agree wholeheartedly that videos should be about teaching first and foremost.

    it’s my opinion that 4 tables when making a live sweat is ideal. you just get into so few interesting spots in any single tournament. so having more than one table is important in terms of encountering as many interesting spots as possible. and by interesting spots i mean opportunities to learn something.

    it’s my personal opinion that live sweats are the least valuable format of videos in terms of learning to play. i think that HH reviews and our Theory series or the Sticking it to the Man!!! series are better. These aren’t recorded live, so the instructors have more time to prepare and explain thought process and logic behind decisions.

    personally, i’m a video junkie and have subs to every site. it’s just one of the ways i learn the best. that’s really just to say that these are my opinions based on watching countless videos over the past few years.

    also, as someone who works with the management of this site to help shape the content we produce, i have to take a moment to say that none of our videos are the result of our instructors “cramming in vids while they do their daily grind.”

    obviously some videos are better than others, and there are times when we fail in delivering the best we can. but i can speak for everyone involved in producing content for TPE that content is well thought-out, thoroughly discussed and then reviewed before going on the site.

    that being said, we do fail. and when we do we count on the candid nature of our subscribers to help us to see that failure. so we very much appreciate your comments.

    Liked the vid… One question…. the checking of the lobby every once in a while.. do you do this a lot or this was just for the purpose of the vid? I guess to keep the student in check about tournament standing etc while the next hand comes about??… I was wondering.. I try myself never to look at the lobby much as it might distract me from paying attention to more important stuff… I mean in some cases I guess looking could be helpful when making tough decisions and considering pay jumps etc… but in general I try to avoid it… correct me if i am wrong… Thanks I enjoy all the vids
