Hey guys!

so, i was sick these last few days, so thats why its taken a while. Had enough trouble grinding with the flu to even think about it.

I've rendered the vid. Those of u who want it, PM me, and i'll give u the link. I'll be uploading it tonight.

DISCLAIMER

At first this was supposed to be a vid to be used in grinderschool.com but i wasnt at all happy with the narrating, since the fast tables and all (play, chat, forum...) made it really hard to keep up with everything. So it's just for u guys.

It's a 1h long vid, and to keep it at a smaller size (and since its just for us) i've rendered it at lower video quality than normal, audio should be ok. It's still 60mb and it still takes ages to render and upload, so sorry if u gotta squint a bit!!!

After all, it's just for fun and totally free! X)

i can see why you dont want to release this to Gschool. cant really learn much.

my suggestion: next time, play two tables (like you've mentioned) and set the vid up by giving your "assessment" of the players you recognize. like, "pfsbulldawg is a total tard that tends to be overly aggro in stupid spots for the sake of aggression. so, i plan to counter this with a more passive style against HIM. however, this DDog clown played like shit last time, and tends to be a bit calmer....knows where the fold button is...so, i plan to value bet him a little lighter, respect his raises, but bet the shit out of scary boards on him. oh, and if that splasha guy joins in, well, i already gave him my account number so he can just transfer the money w/o bothering to actually play the games..."

something like that. and, then focus more on WHY you would play a little different against a certain player.

like, "normally this is a bet-bet type of spot, but this player has been calling light, so i will take a safe turn off and play for a free sd....hopefully, that will induce a bluff, too."

with two tables and reads, surely you will have more time to narrate your thoughts.

yeah, totally...
i was overwhelmed by too many things going on at once, and my "narrating" ended up being... "now i'll do this, now i'll do that..." without much explaining of why.
I even recognized i was having trouble and said so in the vid.
Hope u still got something out of seeing your hands from someone else's visual perspective.

U guys know, by the vids i have done previously, that i like to narrate my thought processes a bit "deeper", wether i'm sure of them or not, but those fast tables... man they're FAST!

BTW, i think both of u were affected too much by MR maniac-badbeatman, who was sitting on our 6max table, and that may have influenced your overall play

i had trouble with him being on my left and always showing up with the most obscure nuts. you just cant give credit to T6 being a boat, imo, and when you have QQ, you have to go with him after he's put two beats on the table already. but, bla bla...

i dont think he affected me as much as the length of the session. i wanted to play with you guys a lot, and was relishing in my chance. i came with the intention of splashing some chips. and, i plan to do the same thing again. the money isnt as important at this level, but the overall play is. i know we all take it seriously enough that we arent going to play Q6s....errrr, whatever. but, i also know we will get in each other's heads allowing us to tighten up and open up as the situation dictates.....its not like jennifer harman would play only broadways against "thinking" players. so, i expect that, too.

for me, it was an overzealous attitude, too many tables, and a bit of negative variance all rolled into one. i think i was coming out a loser that day, but with the run of cards sticking me in bad spots, i think it could have been better with a little luck on the turn. -$28 should have probably been -$15ish....which is still pretty bad...lol. but, still WELL worth the price of entertainment to hang with some pals.

we'll see next time.

i disagree a bit. loose passive OR aggressive i want on my right. that way i have position and can isolate or cruise along AFTER i see what they want to do. tighties on your left...for blind/pot picking. aggros can go there, sort of, because you can use them to thin fields. but, you dont want to be oop with marginal hands.

as i remember the hand, you raised otb, and i failed to 3bet from sb because i was sick of getting KQ in the sb and facing a raise from one of you regs. KQ is a bitch against you guys because i know any A raises, but so does a lot of other shit you may play. sure, KQ is dominated some, but your lp ranges are so ridiculously wide, as they should be, that KQ should play well against them. and, oop, i can control the pot a bit and avoid spew. so, its prolly not an isolating hand, but a call along and screw you over hand....lol. clearly i will overplay it.

well, the maniacs u want on your left.
Hope i make sense here:
When u raise, he will 3bet u, isolating himself with the worst of it.
When u miss but have a showdown hand like Ahi or a small PP, u c/c him down (he will bluff a looot)
If u improve u give him some action.

Being oop against him u will have the control of how many bets go in on each street. We will assume that 1bet will ALWAYS go in since he is a maniac.

if u want 1bet to go in, u c/c
if u want 2bets, u b/c
if u want 3bets, u c/r and call his 3bet
if u want 4bets, u b/3b and call

If u are in position against him, again assuming he is a maniac, u can only choose between 1, 3, and 4 by:

if u want 1bet, u call
if u want 3bets, u raise and call his 3bet
if u want 4bets, u raise and reraise

Thus, u lose one choice when being in position, and since maniacs will (in general) not give u any of the advantages of position (taking free cards, free sds...) cause they will donk 99% of the time, there are no advantages to have him to your right.

Another advantage is that PF, once u raise and he 3bets u, u will get great info on anyone else joining, since they will usually cap with premiums only and if someone does, u may let go of a hand like A5o for only 2 small bets.
If he is to your right, u will have to commit 3bets to isolate him, and will be comitted to seeing the flop if someone caps.

Also, it is good, if u raise and he 3bets, that u can invest less pf with lesser hands (i.e. u call his 3bet with a naked Ax) and cap him with your premiums. Whereas in position, he will cap your isolation 3bet 100% of the time, forcing you to play bigger pots than u want with lesser hands.

ah... sorry, wrong hand, thought u meant the one were u openlimped utg, and later said u had folded JJ to my semibluff.

Q6s is even within stox recommended button steal range. I steal a little bit wider than him on average, but i mean, thats a very standard raise, even for a tight guy like him.
I did outflop u with 2pair, but i think u played ok. It was kind of a cooler for u, but what goes around comes around, so i may be on the wrong end next time. Didnt u have AA?

maybe. i thought it was one of the half dozen KQ's i picked up in the sb. that holding wasnt at all nice to me in the 6max games, and i am used to playing it fast, so that hurt.

it makes more sense it was AA because i would give you shittons of action with an overpair, putting you on a Q (and being sick of my shit). oh, if the board had only paired....why does that never seem to happen for me? lol.

yes, that maniac stuff makes sense, but i must face a much tamer version because i can chill my maniacs out, which usually just turns them into loose tards. they want to be aggressive, but dont want to when i pop them everytime they do. i chill out later, but they are not maniacal enough to usually find that out unless i hold the goodies on them. and, when cards run right (like they are supposed to, lol.), i can be holding quite random versions of the nutters.

If you were interested, you could always do voice over and explain your actions that way. You would just pause the video, do voice over, then hit resume. You could also just fast forward through the parts with no action to save time. If the video length got too long then you could just split it into separate parts.

All of these options are easily done in Camtasia.
