Well here it is. No commentary though as I don't have a mic plus I have a ridiculous cold right now so most of the audio would be me either coughing or blowing my nose.
just did a video with some commentary, as long as it uploads and everything o.k., no awesome content that I have in mind yet:p but do not have kids around when you play the video as there is some swearing near the end:D.
I just paused when I was not in a hand and hit record when something was going on to keep the file small and the video short, so incase your wondering how it is the money, bubble etc etc so fast, as you will see I could not get heads up in as stars went down so I got 2nd place.
so looking like it may not be any easier to see, mind you it says it is still processing, I can only record full screen, it won't let me do region. mind you I think i had the wrong codec checked .
I had to do 3 parts as it was over 10 minutes if you tube ever is done processing.
part 1 of 3, had to really tinker around, it is a smidge better but still not clear in video quality, will try 1 or 2 more things in that area but it took my a long time to get it where it is,lol
For part 1.
Not bad, got a couple notes here on a few hands though. That first hand with AKc. PFR is fine obviously, but it's kinda questionable checking the hand down on every street. Would have recommended putting out a c-bet on the flop just to see where you stand. If called, proceed cautiously, but judging by how the hand played out you probably would have taken it down right there. Or, at least bet something on the river. Can almost guarantee that the SB would have called a bet with his Q9. Second hand when you have A2c in the BB. Pre-flop action is fine, even checking the flop is ok. And I don't really have much of a problem smooth calling the turn bet( a raise would be preferred but it's still not bad). But you definitely should have raised the river.
And the last one, when it gets folded to you in the SB holding QJo. Not a terrible fold but raising to steal the blind isn't a bad move either. This is just what I observed, and plays I would have made, but without any information on the players, who knows, it could be different.
I'm half way through your vid. Not much I can say but 3 things.
1: you should get in the habit of taking notes on hands/players. Will help you a lot. Not just in terms of information on players, but also to think more critically.
2: bottom right table you folded SB to BB who's like 6/6. Then you folded button with Axo and Sb folded to BB. Sure it's only blinds, but I think it would be easy money if you 3x pf and cbet flop (although I don't think it would get that far). Especially vs a 6/6 player (even though sample size is small). -- It's good to have this in your game. There's a reg at .1/.25 who's like this 6/6, and I know sitting near him gives me free blinds almost always. Whenever he wakes up (rarely) I know he has a hand so i just muck. Just remember not to go overboard and be willing to let go if things start to go south.
3: Your AA on button raise to .3 was too small imo with 2 limpers already, both of which look to be on the loose side. .4 or .5. (maybe more depending on how likely you think they'll call) course it worked out great cause BB had QQ hehe .
[edit: just saw another hand]
4: your 66 hand(bout 80 percent through vid) you check in position on a K54 flop, then bet the turn. Not that bad, but I think it's interesting that in your Kts hand you cbet with mp out of position (on ATxflop), then here you check. Generally cbets are better/more effective in position afaik.

1. I actually do take notes pretty often. I've found though that it's almost useless at this level. Pretty much every time I sit down at a table it's all players I have no history with. Even when I look for players I have notes on it's kinda rare to find them. Out of all the hands I've played the most hands I have on a single player is just around 500. Take this session for example. Top left table I had played with 3 of them before. One had 36 hands, the other had 19 and another with 15. Top right was all "new" players, bottom left had one player at 39 hands and bottom right had one player with 17 hands. It seems the regs are few and far between.
2. I probably could have put in a raise to steal from the SB. Same with the A4 on the button. Oh well.
3. Was going to raise more with the AA, really not too sure why I didn't. Then again, it seems not too many people at this level pay much attention to bet sizing, to them a raise is a raise. Whether its 3x or 8x it doesn't seem to matter.
4. KT hand, shouldn't have even been in this hand. Only reason I made the c-bet was because of who I was in the hand with, I figured I could just steal it then when he raised I just folded. Bad move on my behalf. Reason I didn't c-bet the flop on the 66 hand was mainly because I was worried about the King. But once he checked again on the turn I figured I should at least see where I'm at in the hand. And well, it worked out.
Thanks for the feedback, hope this clears some things up.
Like I said. will try and do another video, just not sure when like I just said to GTA, busy busy guy I am right now, got some good commentary and will include a few of you on here;):D
See if you can get a stake (that doesn't conflict with your current stakes) from a backer who offers coaching...some of these guys will make the vids for you...much easier imo
So not new and not 1 of the project's I am working on at the moment but for anyone who misses the pnl set up here is 1 of a few videos up on youtube from the u.k. version of pnl.
They were like 4 hour episodes over there so this video is long, and hopefully you can handle the british accents for that long:p, looks like the rest are like 15 minutes.
Just for anyone interested that is all.:)
It does bring back some memories and I am still in contact with a few of them that are playing in these videos.

Can you upload the vids to megaupload or somethings, this way we can d/l a higher quality version. It hurts my eyes watching 4 choppy tables
