I think the values of the packs are relative, individual, depend on what style suits the buyer the most.
E.g. when I watched the previews of bighusla's pack, I got turned off by the way he presented the 43o hand with which he defended the BB from SB's opening minraise.
I reckon that the hand was posted only because he flopped like God (8-8-3), which made him look like a genius, and then he took the liberty to complain slightly about AT 'sucking out' on him on the turn (and check/calling twice as a trap, which is quite viable vs such a LAG as Husla). He put more emphasis on his turn bad run that his flop good run.
Well, the thing is that it's the general property of low hands that, even if they hit dream flops like this, any reasonable opposing hand usually has at least 6 outs and implied odds.
I know about the virtue of low rundowns in PLO as 3-bet hands - they allow the range to have a better coverage of low flops - but I don't think this kind of deception is that powerful in NLHE, exactly because two overcards are a decent draw.
Anyway, my main concern is not this (it's forgivably natural of video producers in general to be results-oriented when they select spots for their HH reviews, to make even their inevitable spews look smart) but that, although defending any two BvB may be profitable in terms of
bb/100, it surely impacts the
hourly winrate negatively because, if you waste time and clicks on playing postflop with such marginally profitable hands, you won't be able to 6-table efficiently. At least that postflop LAG style is not the way
I'd like to play.
So, even though I haven't bought any of Adam's packs either, I'd give him more credit in terms of his experience at grinding and his knowledge of a strategy that is optimised for it:

My skill set as a multi-tabling grinder is not as high as many guys, however my EV hourly ended up around $100/hour post rake-back. Most likely my EV hourly was actually higher than Husla's since my games/hour must have been around 2.5 times higher than his (since he was mostly 1-2 tabling as far as I recall reading) and his EV ROI wasn't more than twice as high as mine.
