25nl FR video

This is a link to a download of me playing 25nl FR. The original plan was to get up to 6-8 tables and then play from there, but I kept getting distracted and the majority of the time I'm 3-4 tabling.

The way I recorded it sucks ass, and I'm probably going to do another one in the near future with a more standard view. The audio lags like 2-3 seconds, but its not really a problem.

Also, I say 'not a big deal' like 27x in this, and it irritates the shit out of me lol.

^New 87MB link

MEGAVIDEO - I'm watching it

^Megavideo stream link

I'm posting this to get critiqued obviously.

Also, file size is kinda hudge.

hand1: do something different
hand2: don't play it like this
hand3: don't be such a lagg when you suck postflop.
hand4: fold pre

how long is this? 700+MB is ridic.

It's ~50 minutes long, the next one I make will only be like 30 minutes long.

yea I started to DL it, realized it was 700mb, and cancelled it lol

Next time do a HH review and post on YouTube?

Yeah Dranger I'd def watch it too but 700 mb is too much man.

The one I did back in April was 30 mins long and like 60 mb or so? I had to try compressing it a few different ways. Mind you, it was a HH review and only had one table going at a time. It's slightly less 'organic' this way but still serves as a decent snapshot of your play.

Also, your megaupload account is shared with megavideo; upload to megavideo and it'll just stream to whoever wants to watch. Bing blang blaow.

orly? I'll give that a shot, I figured 700mb was too much, but that was how Screenflick (I'm on my mac obv) compressed it. :/

try googling how to compress (whatever file format it is) first bro plx plx plx

might take a few attempts to get something of decent quality to come out but it's worth it (and, you just need to memorize the settings and you'll never have to do the trial & error thing again). You don't need a high FPS (maybe 4-8 is fine?), but quality should be relatively high in order to see hud stats, and audio should be at least 'okay'.

Uploading to Megavideo atm, will edit op to include that link when completed.

Why is 700mb too much? You guys still playing around with 1gb harddrives or something?

JKDS, u sign up for the dub-dub game?

Anyhow, the problem is not so much the size itself, but rather the discrepancy between the size the video is and the size the video should be. Poker videos shouldn't take very long to download. They're supposed to be lightweight because there's very little change from frame to frame and not much in the way of movement or changes in colour.

Ok so, I think the file size before it was compressed was like 5GB or some shit. Why is it so huge? ;( I only had a relatively small part of my screen in the frame, and it recorded at 10 fps

It has to do with the codec you compress the movie with. Talk to some of the guys at Grinderschool or anyone that does poker videos. They can give you some codec and settings advice. That should make the file size much more manageable.

You guys still on dialup or something?

D/Lin now...

Got about half hour til its uploaded on Megavideo so you homo's can stream it. :P

LOL you're in for a surprise dranger. After uploading it, it takes roughly twice as much time for Megavideo to convert it - that is, if it needs to convert it, but I'm thinking there's a pretty good chance of that.

The good news is it should reduce the file size considerably. If you see the conversion start don't bother checking again till much later on tonight.

...

gay.

Nice file size dranger.

Inorite

BIGGER IS BETTER AMIRITE

Converted to flv file and uploaded. Now about 87Mb

I converted to wmv and it was still ~220M

Tyvm Sasquatch. Finished converting. OP will be updated shortly after this post to include Sasquatch's link, and the stream link.

You has a real potty mouth.

No Limit Holdem Poker Video - $200 6 Max by ville18 High Stakes

I thought it was a decent vid. Not sure why the space for the video was so small. It was kinda annoying to watch you have to drag a table in there every time you wanted to talk about something but I guess it makes sense if you're stacking tables.

IMO the discussion was pretty spot on. You definitely have a good grasp on the fundamentals of this game and I think you'll be back up playing higher pretty soon. You did a good job of treating each table as its own unique situation and really analyzing the different types of players, where they were sitting, how that affects your game plan, etc...

Looking for tables with players that have weird stacks is something I do all the time and it seems to work pretty well. More than likely those guys are huge fish just giving it away. I play 6M 25NL and at first I thought that, based on your video, there are so many more players open limping in FR. Now that I think about it though, I see this a lot too and kinda take it for granted.

In the TT hand where you're IP and the guy double barrels, do you ever think he's doing this with a FD. Maybe like AQs, AJs, ATs ?? If he's a thinking player then once you call the flop he should be less inclined to double barrel a FD (imo) because you either have a K or have a PP type of hand, both of which might/will call again. I believe he opened somewhere in EP, but do you expect him to have hands like 44, 55, 66 and do you think he would double barrel them? I think the fact that he fired the second barrel makes it more likely he has a stronger pair, if a pp is what he has. Like I don't see him double barreling with 88 but then again you never know and I don't remember the read/stats on him. Anyway seems like checking behind was the best play.

How did you get color coded notes? Just opened my PS and I don't have it WTF?? I'm running windows XP so maybe thats the reason.

lol I like how u explain ur hud at the end of the vid

buut w/e, not too worried about it

btw if u ever wanna do some sweat sessions together let me know.

that goes for anyone else playing 10/25/50 NL

Thanks for the analysis kfaess. I totally forgot about explaining my HUD until like 35 minutes in lol. I'll have to rewatch the video again and look for that TT hand and I'll let you know. To get the color coded notes, idk Stars updated one day a while back and I had them lol.

Ok so, for that TT hand:
- He opened UTG, but he's unknown. His stats at the time were 21/12 over 24 hands, and we didnt have any other notes on him. I typically give people the benefit of the doubt for being a halfway decent player off the bat since its less expensive to fold than it is to make a bad call down vs someone who might be a good reg or w/e. For his opening range I'll give him like AJs+, AQo+, KQs, 77+ and maybe some random SCs like 89s/9Ts

I actually do think he'll double barrel with a FD a decent amount of the time. I actually think he'll double barrel quite a bit of his range on this turn, especially if he has any equity, (an overcard, picked up a SD, FD, etc) since we can be floating IP with a lot of stuff. Like its such a good flop to cbet with ATC since its really hard to hit unless we have 55+ or Kx. So he probably expects us to be floating a decent bit anyways, and if he double barrels its going to make us go away a pretty good portion of the time. And he doesn't know if I'll continue with 66/88/99 on the turn to the barrel (some nits won't) so if we do fold those, then it makes it an even easier bet for him there.

On the river, checking back is definitely the best play. 77 got there, 99 got there, Kx could be inducing a bet from a missed FD, and his FDs are always c/f unless he decides to do some crazy bluff c/r. I probably check back JJ/QQ here too since I'm a nit, despite what I said in the video. There's just not enough stuff he can call with thats worse.

Yea I pretty much agree with all of your analysis. I think deciding whether to check or bet with QQ is a more interesting spot because I think its closer to a value bet. I could see him taking this line with JJ but I don't know if he would call a river bet. I also don't expect him to be raising the river that often given his action so far. Dunno..

Anyway, make another vid imo
