Eldora

Thanks a lot for all of your content over the recent years Dhruv, you brought a lot of wisdom to the Run It Once community and put lots of efforts into your videos!

Great farewell video and I hope that - maybe one day - there might be a chance of a return. Until then, we'd always love to see you step by the RIO community you'll always be a part of it.

gioemil71 I looked it up, Seth mentioned it towards the beginning. I suspect it should be The Science of Rapid Skill Acquisition by Peter Hollins.

Very insightful breakdown Alexandra! That was super helpful and one of the reasons why I love studying with RIO content (on top of the obvious biased reason ;)). I every now and then found myself wondering in-game about these differences since implementing polar c-betting sizes - but finding the spirit to actually study and efficiently compare the two turn barrell approaches...I don't know I would have ever done it without this video.

Keep it up!

the purest forms of joy
1 finding the love of your life
2 spending time w/ family
...nah wait
1 an exploit going exactly right

great capture RunItTw1ce that pic is priceless

The REAL Part 1 is out now :) Hope you'll enjoy and sorry again about the hiccup!
Social Psychology Applied to Poker: Cognitive Dissonance

Amazing introduction to the Mini Course Nuno! Certainly got me hyped up to get in the work for improving at heads up. Really looking forward to following all of the upcoming lessons!

Hmm interesting, all of the links in the initial blog post seem to work fine for me. I'm not sure if IAmNeo already relinked them by now, or if this was just a temporary glitch? Are you still having the issue?

I suspect you are referring to these links (that are all working fine for me)

Hey everyone! We'd like to apologize for a small mistake in that the first part of Jan's Social Psychology series has not been released yet. But be assured that you'll be able to get full value from this video regardless as it touches on its own theme. Our next release from Jan will then feature the real kick-off part of this 'Social Psychology Applied to Poker' mini series, where you'll learn more about Cognitive Dissonance.

Thanks a lot for pointing out this issue RunItTw1ce and JontyBoy1! There indeed creeped in a small glitch that broke this feature but thanks to your attention, it has now been restored by our developers. Thx again!

congratz mx404!

Thx for pointing out the mistake Frankie! We fixed it.

Hey everyone! We just launched a new feature that allows you to feed your video ideas right into our new Video Wish Machine. You can still keep dropping ideas in this thread as well but we hope you'll enjoy this new feature!

Video Wish Machine

We guarantee that one of the top submissions will be produced over the coming weeks and you can be sure that any idea posted there will be closely considered by our coaches.

Hey Ralph! First off excited that you're considering the Annual Elite package and sorry for missing your question here for so long.

I hope the explanations above helped but don't hesitate to let me know if you have any follow-up questions!

Yea I was wondering about the QJcc vs QJss difference too. I suspect it has to do with SB potentially having more bluffs in his cbetting range that have the Qs or Js compared to the Qc Jc. E.g. betting more AxJs or QsTs compared to him having the c in bluffs. Then we unblock more bluffs when holding cc.

But just a guess, especially since the solver often seems to mix a quite healthy amount of cbets with non bdfd combos in many sims. So not sure how strong that effect actually is.

Great video thx Francesco! I found it insanely valuable to pick up the sizing heuristics in different lines for both players, e.g. the turn delay being a block after OOP misses the polarized turn probe, how to proceed on flush completing turns etc.

I found myself implementing the small turn delay twice right in my next session.

Appreciate this great holistic breakdown with the exploitative considerations being covered as well!

Hey everyone! While this post is already from quite some time ago, I still wanted to leave an update considering the opportunities to study 5-card PLO have severely changed by now.

First off, we just released our brand-new From The Ground Up: PLO5 comprehensive fundamentals course that provides a structured roadmap for anyone looking to get started in 5-card PLO or advance their fundamentals.

On top of that, there's Vision GTO Trainer - the ultimate GTO training tool for PLO that covers both 4-card and 5-card PLO. There are even dedicated 5-card plans if you're just looking to study 5-card. You can use Vision to study everything from preflop to postflop play, train interactively with practice and streak mode and explore optimal PLO solutions in a very visually appealing way.

For everyone who's looking to simply get a grasp of how equities run in 5-card PLO (or 6-card PLO!) you can check out our free Equity Calculator for PLO here.

Finally, our Run It Once video training membership plans (Essential and Elite) provide plenty of content on 5-card as well. You can check out the 5-card video library that you can get access to with a membership.

Welcome to the team!

Great to see you joining the team Laurence! Looking forward to your content!

Welcome aboard Laurence Heads! Looking forward to your content and nice breakdown of the action in this first video!

Well deserved! Should GameTheory still come back to the site and see this, I'm sure he'll find one of his famous memes for you kicking him out there ;)

Hey Kimw123 welcome to the site and great to hear that you're looking to make a comeback! Wishing you best of luck on your journey to hone your skills so that you can move up in today's games.

If you haven't checked them out yet, I can recommend visiting our Learning Paths for NLHE. They provide an easy way to browse some of our most popular videos by study theme and I'm sure it will give you some ideas on what to work on / how to prioritize some of your potentialy current uncertainties.

In general, it might be a good idea to trial the Essential NLHE content from a selection of coaches so that you can find out whose content sticks easiest with you.

Since quite some things have changed when it comes to c-betting strategy since back in the days in 2007 I could see that this short video series from Max Lacerda on C-Betting could be helpful:
C-Bet Series (4 parts)

On top of that, I remember that I really enjoyed this breakdown from Frankie Carson on how our c-betting strategy differs based on position:
How Position Impacts C-Bets

This video from Freenachos also goes into how to approach flop c-betting strategies and was one of our most popular Essential videos in 2023:
Building Simple and Effective Flop Strategies

A good way to start for 3-bet pots might be these two video linked below:
Crush Them or They'll Crush You: OP 3Bet Pots (Frankie Carson)
Studying 3Bet Pots the RIGHT WAY (Peter Clarke)

As you explore the video library, I wanted to point you towards our new 'strategy tags' that we just launched a few months ago. They are located at the top of our Pro Video page and allow you to filter for almost any node of the game.

I hope you'll have an easy time getting started!

Thx for pointing this out guys! We made the fix, our apologies this was fully on us and not on Jan.

Let us know if the issue persists and we'll look into it. But we hope it will work later!

Hey FetterMais sorry for missing your comment and our apoligies if there were duplicate hands in this video. I assume those would have been from the previous part in this series: 5-Card PLO in Very High VPIP Games?

Hey Ed Walters it's a feature that's available in different software to help you focus on upcoming decisions when multitabling to avoid getting drawn into observing a runout that doesn't really make a difference while you need to play on other tables.
