I really appreciate the video. While the play is a bit passive, it does have some merits in a few instances: waiting for a few people to bust out is a nice way to move up in the money, staying out of big pots without the nuts is a decent way to preserve your stack, and when you do bet, you are given credit for hands. Still, there were a few places where I just found myself screaming, "Bet!" and it just wasn't happening. I don't mind that the audio was recorded after the fact, but it was strange that he was referring to the chat box even though it was masked over such that we couldn't see it. The only real critiques I have is that the audio was slightly ahead of the video (it took away some of the suspense), and there was a pretty significant amount of awkward silence towards the beginning. All that said, I definitely found the video worthwhile, so thanks again!

Okay video. Very, VERY passive play- wouldn't necessarily take this as a guide to how to play the FT, as much as I would as an insight into the mind of an exploitable end-game player.

I agree with the previous review, the audio was definatly not as good as it was recorded later. As well as some of the play being dodgy like the 76 suited from thr SB. just my opinion. Nice too see a win though!

Interesting, occasionally enlightening, but maybe lacked a certain amount of urgency and on-the-spot analysis with the soundtrack recorded at a later date. Also, please don't follow this video as an example of how to play MTT end games! But thanks for doing it - much appreciated and I'm glad it went well.
