NL25 Video From MSNLer

Iship2u,

Definitely enjoyed this video, and would watch others in the future.

I turned my HUD off a few days ago and am going to play without it for a few thousand hands. Right now I am running super hot so there's no way to know whether turning off the HUD is making any difference, but I know I have burned a lot of money in the past making "reads" based on limited experience and misuse of stats.

I just went completely ape [censored] after I watched this video. It's been the first time I shoved with complete air in awhile. Thanks for this. I'm sure I'll regret watching it later.

I don't recall OP shoving with air at all during this video. In fact he didn't even semibluff raise the 2 or 3 times he had good draws. I was surprised at how he's being described from this video given that he only really got out of line preflop.

[creamfillin]

He didn't but he inspired inspired me to loosen up a bit. He plays alot looser than your standard 2p2er at unl, and I guess I took it too far. (Coupled with the fact that I was half tilting from stupid sngs)

[Mr_Pathetic]

After watching again it seems he is super loose when he is putting the money in (raising 35o preflop) and super tight when others are putting the money in (callin down with the AQ hand). I guess calling down isn't tight but to me it is.

[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].

Iship2u,

Though my tone might have indicated otherwise I in no way meant that you should have been raising your draws. It's just that you didn't, which surprised me given the impression I got from other posters before I watched the video.

I eagerly anticipate a video in which you make some wild plays, but in this particular one your play was pretty solid postflop. BTW very nice value bet on the AQ hand.
