More FTP deepstack videos?

Is there any chance we can get some more FTP deepstack videos ranging from the $100-$500 stake?

Perhaps hire a instructor who specializes on deepstacks? :)

Cog was playing a lot of them

Cog was playing a lot of them for awhile but has now switched to super turbos.It might be worthwhile to get a solid thinking player with a heads up cash background to make a video or two about this.  I think some of the concepts might be particularly unique to even deep stack husng pros (just as some short stack concepts seem to have been pioneered by a lot of primarily husng guys, it's a skillset they are much more likely to develop due to volume at those levels and essential to maximizing their edges overall).Any other suggestions are welcome, I'm always looking around for people interested in making videos.  Even if we're full at a particular time, there's always room for a good guest video or series.

Yes, please do this! I'd even renew my subscription (running out tomorrow) for some deepstack vids.

Maybe there is a possibility to talk Cog  (or other teacher) into making some more deepstack videos:)....or maybe some kind of short theoretical presentation about differences between normal and deepstack game. It would be nice;))RyPac: I have noticed that deepstacks are not so popular among poker teachers (not only on husng.com but generally). Is there any reason why you and other good players avoid this form of HUSNG? I dont know whether my thinking of way is right: If you have an advantage over opponent, bigger stack increases your chances on a winning, bigger stack gives you more occasions to use your poker skills and to decrease variance - what do you think about this?

There likely is room for a ton of edge in these, as many that do play these have large edges.However, I think most pros are finding that the trade off of lesser variance is not worth a drop in hourly money here.  This may be partially due to husng players not being as adept at deep stack play since there haven't really been any consistently popular structures like this over the years.Games such as super turbos are much more natural for a good husnger to integrate into and fully maximize an edge.  This is because good players have been playing at the 10-25bb stacks for a long time, have taken the time to study it and improve it even before these games came out.  Most husng players cannot say the same for deep stacks.It seems that many pros just use a "tight, wait for opponent to make a large mistake" strategy for these.  While that is going to get you a solid edge in these, it probably does not maximize your hourly or edge (though for players that can't handle higher variance, faster structures or are bad short it can still make sense to play deep stacks even if you're using a rather simple and low adjusting strategy).So those are kind of the reasons why, aside from players with solid experience in these (Cog mainly) I'll be looking more towards experienced hu cash players to do a video in these.  I've had interest from at least one player so far, we didn't talk about deep stacks yet, but it would be a more natural fit player for these in my mind.
