NL25 Video From MSNLer

[IshiP2U]

I didn't call down with the AQ hand. I think you're referring to the hand where I called two pot size bets from the BB into two people on a flop of KQJ, blank turn, and then I vbet him slightly over half pot on the river when he instachecked on a blank. The thing with this specific video is that the pots never got big enough to go after, hence no shoving with air at this table. The only dynamics that developed were between me and the player I kept isolating, as everybody else really just stayed out of the way unfortunately. Thus, I was really dissapointed with the lack of postflop play. As for semibluffing on draws, I didn't really see any good spots for it, especially when I can possibly overbet when the draw hits depending on who I was in the pot with to make for playing the draw passively. The QT hand where I turned an OESD I don't consider to be a strong draw at all because I think in that situation the only outs I have are for my straight draw (the Q doesn't matter). The video at it turned out was more about a mindset than a playing style; the mindset of trying to generate action. Like I said, it's unfortunate we didn't end up in a lot of reraised pots, because that is when things get more interesting since you don't have to be correct in your decision making as much as you do in raised or limped pots. Anyways, it's really nice to find that the forums have been receptive to the video, and those that think it was completely wacky are certainly welcome to facilitate discussion. As far as people playing back at me goes, the more I think about it I guess it's really not from the TAGs but from the casual single tabler who sees their game stemming out of control, but it certainly has happened from every type of player at one point or another. I'll make sure the next vid has some more action, even I have to do a few takes until I get at a good table (yes I will show it win or lose whatever happens), since as another poster alluded to I really was only active preflop [for the reasons stated above].
