Default Re: NL25 Video From MSNLer

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.

I didn't mean to come across as defensive, I was more just saying that I agree with you only being out of line preflop in the vid, and that there definitely was noting crazy postflop like shoving with air, as given the dynamics there was really no reason to after pots postflop since they never got big enough. And honestly, the wild plays I usually make are not so much doing things like shoving with air (though certainly as rebluffs as I will do that) but more things like value shoving 66 vs a table coach on a T hi flop because it looks like they have AK and they ain't foldin, and making real thin value bets (shoving J8 on the river with a 4 straight out there because I know I'm getting called by any pair and what not). Thanks for the feedback.

Adam

Next vid may not be until the end of the month as I'm attempting to play a large number of hands this month, but anybody who would like to be PM'ed when it's up is welcome to either PM me or make a note in the thread here and I'll be happy to do so.

I'd like to know if you make another video. I think it's time I strayed away from playing so tight and actually enjoyed the game. It looks so much more fun.

Great video.

Some interesting stuff, too bad none of the TAGs were wanting to play back at you. I am one of those TAGs with a little TAG strategy (lol, no offence taken), but when I notice the table just isn't willing to play, I'll keep raising every hand I get. Untill the moment I get called down with 2nd or bottom pair, then I tighten up. So this was very interesting to see, and I really hope your second vid will come soon, please PM me again, taht was very much appreciated.

Thanks for sharing.
