First Session Review Video - Comments Welcome

Thanks for the comments, Keith. You seem to have picked up on quite a few things here.

K9 hand was def misplayed, I believe I made allusion to this in the video (I'm thinking you had the volume turned down/off..?) but in future I believe I definitely should lead out the flop. I think I still have this newbish tendency to slowplay when I unexpectedly make a hand, which is a bit of a recurring theme in this video (ugh).

66 hand, I do say my mistake was calling the reraise; obv I'm only ever continuing that hand against an opponent showing that much strength if I hit my set on the flop. All around bad play. This is further exemplified by my play on the 8-high flop. If I'm giving him credit for an overpair on the flop, why am I calling his pf re-raise?

As far as table dynamics go - I didn't consider swapping seats in the situation you mentioned. I also don't think I widened my range, as appropriate, when the tables shortened to 6 or 5. The tables seem to have been changing rather quickly, and this was but one table of four I was playing. That's not an excuse obv - just a reason for not being as attentive as I should have been.

KQ all-in is pretty marginal, but do keep in mind the stack size of the villain and the amount already in pot. I'd have to rewatch the video to verify but I think I was getting around 1.25+ to 1 to call - which would be pretty lousy if I'm including QQ+ in his range (little info, so I think I have to). Anyhow, definitely not a spot for me to be picking in future.

And yes, one of the main things I was interested in getting out of this review was whether I could have won more pots without showing down (pf steals, c-bets on flop etc). I do also seem to have a tendency to not c-bet flops that have any kind of over on top of my pp and giving credit to villains when they bet in these situations...

Appreciate the time you put in Keith. This helps a great deal.

btw was the sound in the video so bad that it could not be listened to? just wondering if I should change things going forward...

yeah the sound was fine. Kinda depressing that I seem to be the only person thats watched it and commented. Its not exactly an incentive for others to do the same thing. This would benefit so many other 2 and 5nl players. Go through and watch the video, would you make the same plays , would you play differently and why. Would you make the same play for a different reason. Learn how other players at your level are thinking so that you have some more info in your own sessions.

A hand history you have no back story, here you have table dynamics, stats on your opponents and a chance to learn , but it seems like its too much bother to spend half an hour or so to do it.

Thank you for guilting me into watching it.

-Edit, Don't have an account, can't watch it

You don't need an account on megavideo to watch it; just click the link, click the red play button, close the popup that comes up, and then click the green arrow. Thanks again.

By the way - I don't really mind if not that many people end up watching the video - I didn't really have high expectations posting this up.. getting what I did out of keith made it worth my time imo. Everything now is just gravy

But, yeah, from the viewer's perspective, I think much can be learned about your own game by watching this video:

QFT. Hand histories exist in a vacuum; the poster is expected to put up their reads and general analysis of villain's play up to that point. In a video like this, you're privy to all the information I have; we're very much on the same level.
