Hello,

I recently had a session review with Thallo and wanted to share some insight. I record all my sessions and asked Thallo to review one of them. He contacted me and we set up a time. I picked one of my previous 3 session not really thinking about how I played in the session as I usually play a few thousand hands before I dip into PT. I picked a session where I played like shit. As the video replay started I was immediately embarrassed by the quality of my play and decision making I demonstrated. I thought Thallo was gonna rip me apart. I was wrong. He was cool with it and was able to pry sick educational outcomes out of the session. He clearly communicated my leaks, gave corrective action and dipped into the next level of knowledge to introduce me to the next building block and theories. Straight up ladies and gentlemen I was incredibly grateful for the session.

The next day I applied the instruction points during game play, I’d didn’t happen with the first hand but it happened, and my graph changed. Suddenly some players who held over me struggled against me. Now ,I’m not saying Thallo solved all my problems and all the sudden I am crushing it, but what he did was take me to the next step and progress my growth. I have a lot more question and desire to play well as the accountability piece of having to show and justify my play to a coach has been greatly beneficial.I am shot taking seven at heart and I’m gonna run it up. I will post again after my next session and remember always fuck the bots and colluders as hard as you can bc they are scum.

Happy holidays,
Tennet

Please keep these videos coming! I would like to see a video on later street play.

Hello,
I am not sure pumping money into the pot is the best line here. Leading with a set is a good line if the players know that you are capable of doing this as well as not doing this, but his flop check calling range is all over the board. So why is he coming along, but still losing the pot? Big pairs rr, Big broadway cards get away, raise-call-range pre-flop middling " pers" get there and are waiting for the river jam. IMO it looks like just what it was, a bloated pot with two flush draws that missed. Or he is just bad and misplayed the hand, cheers to you, or you shoved before he could with Ac xc,- Qc xc, Kc xc. also cheers to you.I also think 1010, 99 is in there. I try not to justify questionable lines that get there with, "I did that bc of X, or this worked because I would have played a set the same way, if I had one, and the players know that. IMO and experience, bad players don't know that balancing is a tactic, and for it to work the other players need to have evidence that you are capable of it. I think you win bc the run out, which it turns out is great bc the pot is bloated. So with that being said, well done!

Enjoyed the discussion, thanks for the post.

Great Video Steve! This is exactly what I was looking for when I choose to sign up with RIO. The thought process, visuals, math, discussion and modeling of the concepts is very helpful. Thank you for this!

Great video, love the cards up commentary. Initially I was thinking it would not be as valuable to stud hi/lo but it was exceptiaonally valuable. Could you include a stud hi/lo video

Regs are the easiest players to beat, play against them as often as possible.
