Oh wait, I didn't pay due attention to the fact that their fields and guarantees are so small that they're essentially like 45-man MTSnGs.
Then I can surely afford to play both (the 21:04 5-card NLO PKO and the 21:14 PL Courchevel Hi/Lo) and that's also in line with the general spirit of the show (Collin requested a mix of formats and I definitely love adding all kinds of soft stuff into the mix).
I've added them onto the schedule, thanks.
Speaking of SCOOP satellites 
I'm going to ask Collin in the convo to give a guide to being staked for a one-off high buy-in event to which one wins a non-exchangeable ticket, like the $2100 PLO SCOOP 
after playing Spin & Go satellites for the sake of the profit from the low multipliers in the soft games, the ticket being a by-product of the grind.
The big problem is that selling at a big markdown (which would be a fair price) is seen by the investor community as suspicious, even after explaining that the spins have been played for the sake of the spins, whereas selling at face value as a non-MTT reg is unlikely to attract enough investors.
For those wondering how I did in the MTTs that I started during the coaching:
Courchevel $2.20 - failed to cash. In the fatal hand, I had 15 bb with A♠:Q♠:J♠:J♦:3♦: and the door card (the first flop card that's opened preflop) was 2♣: so I had a weak overpair (basically, a draw to a set) and the nut backdoor lowdraw but with no other low card in the hand so no backup against the counterfeit of the low. I potted in the HJ, was flatted by the similarly shortstacked BTN and faced a squeeze from the bigstacked nemesis in the SB that I was priced in to call all-in.
BTN turned up A3QQQ and SB a set of deuces (2-2-7-7-5 hole cards) - that's rather unfortunate to run into a set and a duplicate backdoor lowdraw in the same hand.
Big $11 - mincashed for $21 - a combination of being dealt slightly worse hands than average and being distracted by my necessarily evil these days - grinding 4 tables of SNG Hero at Party for the Gladiator promo in order to complete the daily norm before the CET midnight and prevent my chances for the $3500 Gladiator Freeroll ticket from turning into a pumpkin.
Tony, you did great and it was big fun! ♠_thumbsup:♠_thumbsup:♠_thumbsup:

Thanks for coming there and doing a great commentator job, Prim! 
As for the dispute about calling a CO shove with AJo in the first hand of the final table of a 16-man hyper satellite (with stacks of 500 chips, blinds 25/50, ante 10, 2 places paid equally) - it turns out to be a +EV call vs CO's Nash openshoving range (33%) and even +EV vs a tighter range (20%). The 4-handed pre-bubble of a hyper sat is clearly not nearly as tight as the 3-handed exact bubble.

I'm glad that you've got something useful from that coaching, Prim!
I apologise for the poor quality of play 
Firstly, I had mistakenly thought that I'd be able to 5-table while talking, and the reason for that was because I usually talk to myself out loud during my normal grind. But, as it turned out, doing a public coaching was much harder because I had to make sure that my speech was coherent and intelligible, unlike the random ramblings that I utter when I talk to myself. Sorry for the overlaps between the tables - I had really had 5-tabling in mind when I was setting up my initial table layout.
Secondly, I hadn't slept well, and I had had a hard choice between drinking some coffee to wake up and getting anxiety and aggression from the caffeine, and staying caffeine-free but sleepy. I chose the latter and this did harm my focus and also gave me a slight headache. (Btw, thanks for the cortisol discussion, Prim 
)
Thirdly, I had forgotten to change quite a few things in my software setup and wouldn't be able to do this during the coaching as I had many other things to take care of. In particular, I chose not to turn a HUD on because I store data from different game formats in different databases (because I usually grind one format at a time) and so I thought that having a HUD up wouldn't be particularly useful anyway. But that resulted in not having mucked card display either, and I had also forgotten to turn on Stars' option to show my folded cards on mouseover, which I'm sorry about.
Still, the coaching would have been much, much better if not for the factors listed above.
Performance anxiety has been haunting me since childhood - at high school theatre plays, not just my performance but each actor's was much worse than at the rehearsals, according to the director.
Oops, the recording of my and Prim's episode is up in the video section, and actually, in addition to the AJo spot @12:40 where I was in the BB, discussed above, there was an AJo spot @6:50 , I was on the button. But as per the screenshots 5 posts above, AJo is a call in the Nash equilibrium on the BTN too, might still be a fold if CO shoves tighter.
Thanks Tony and Primrose, both of you guys did a great job! Really appreciate the two of you coming on 
This week on the coaching ... bubble rush! We're going through a deep bubble rush run to talk about hypers (the early game) and deeper-stacked play (the late game).
Thank you, Collin. I almost forgot: For those who are interested (Couldn´t explain all this in 3 minutes ♠_cry:♠_cry:):
...and did I read hyper hyper? ...:banana::banana::sfishy:

Bubble Rush is not hyper enough
Thanks for sharing the videos!
This week on the coaching ... MTTSNG! We're going through a member's games, and I'll let you guys vote at the start on whether you want 27-man, 45-man, or 180-man. See you guys there
