traz made a video!
 

So I made my first video, it's of me 4-tabling at 50nl. It was a pretty fun experience but it's a little weird having to talk through your actions for 45 minutes. Not a ton of interesting things happened, but some of you might find it helpful. In the coming week or so I hope to make 1 or 2 more 50nl videos with some more marginal situations. I'll probably edit them into the OP and then bump the thread.

Anyways, here it is. Cheers

traz's 50nl vid #1

Re: traz made a video!
 

thx, but maybe use rapidshare next time

Re: traz made a video!
 

thank you I will take a look almighty trazy

Re: traz made a video!
 

nh traz,downloading right now

Re: traz made a video!
 

Could ANYONE upload it some other place ? megaupload isnt working for me
and also what site did you play on ?

Re: traz made a video!
 

gracias. it's downloading now.

Re: traz made a video!
 

nit!

its on party. there is a fair few silent pauses too.

what stats did you run at for this session? you are indeed major tight UTG.

also wma tells me I have to close the file after around 11mins, just after you fold 44 to the 4bet. not sure if this is just me or what?

Re: traz made a video!
 

I ran about 18/16 after that session. I'd upload to rapidshare but it's not working for me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

As for having to close the file, no idea

Re: traz made a video!
 

traz, about 30 min in, you have AKo in SB and its folded to button who raises. You folded because you said you'd been 3betting him a lot and was giving him a break. Can you explain why you didn't 3bet here? I would think this would be a great hand to 3bet with in this spot.

Also this is a great vid and I've picked up a few tips for improving my game.

Re: traz made a video!
 

dling right now. what level do you nprmally play traz?

Re: traz made a video!
 

Another question... You like to 3bet light when in the blinds against a button raise (pretty much any PP right?). Would you do this at 10NL as well? What about against someone who would call your 3bet with any ATC?

Re: traz made a video!
 

are there any audio in this video?

I haven't seen the video, but if you ever feel you are 3-betting someone to much and you are holding AKo.. do NOT stop. You want your opponent on tilt. If he is getting sick of you betting into him and starts to play back light/tilty, this is a PERFECT situation for you.

I recommend keeping the AF up next time with your premium hands.

Re: traz made a video!
 

I just checked, I had AJo and not AK. In general I don't like 3betting with AJ. It gets dominated by anyone who calls, and I'm never happy unless I flop 2pair or better.

As for 3betting light at 10nl...I don't really know what the dynamics are like. If people are going to call you lightly then it's not nearly as effective.

I just opened 4 random tables. I mean..I could've specifically looked for donks and just value shoved everytime I got tptk, but seeing that doesn't really help anyone play.

Re: traz made a video!
 

Anyone having trouble seeing the video? I'm getting audio but apparently I don't have the proper video codec. I got my player up to date, but still no luck with the video.

I didn't have the right codecs either.
I am working on a fresh laptop with ubuntu, but downloaded the standard w32 codecs and using mplayer did the trick, since w32 is windows codecs, and mplayer is for windows too. Perhaps you can try that out.

Re: traz made a video!
 

There's definitely something wrong. I"m not sure what it is. A few people have told me they get no video. In addition, I just restarted my computer and now I myself can't see the video.

It really makes no sense. I'm gonna recompress and reupload one and see if it's any better

Re: traz made a video!
 

its probably just the codecs, basically every video needs the link to the codec or someone always says OMG it doesnt work for me I dont get video.

Re: traz made a video!
 

I know, but I have no idea why it would be a rare codec, or why I myself all of a sudden don't have the right codecs (when it was obviously working for me before)

Re: traz made a video!
 

strange (:

Sometimes codecs do weird things, all my divx movies play the wrong way around if I use Windows Media.

do u ever table select?

Re: traz made a video!
 

Works fine for me *shrug*

Good video, I would like to see another.

I am a little curious as to your reasoning on folding AJ UTG and raising KQ UTG, when realistically they would only both be dominated by the same two hands (AK and AQ). I'm also really tight UTG, I usually fold both, but lately I've been opening up my UTG just a bit with mixed success.

Re: traz made a video!
 

I was talking to my friend about that, the AJo & KQo thing, and he didn't have a good answer and said they are pretty equal AJo being slightly better.

Oops, you're right. I guess I was confused since you got AK a lot it seemed. Thanks again for the vid.

Re: traz made a video!
 

if you get no video you gotta install the tscc codec from http://www.techsmith.com/download/codecs.asp

Re: traz made a video!
 

I cant view it either.

Re: traz made a video!
 

tl;dw
KQ can flop an OESD with two cards, AJ can't.

Thanks for the video, traz. I've only watched about half of it so far, but I find it to be helpful. Anytime you can see and hear another player's thought process when playing is very helpful, IMO. I'd be interested in seeing more.

BTW, I like the 3-bet AI from the SB with the small PP.

Re: traz made a video!
 

Cool, thanks for watching guys. Glad it's starting to work for some of you :P

As for the AJ vs KQ debate...I've just found KQ to be much easier to play. AJ tends to run into more problems, especially OOP. Firstly, even if a J flops, you still have two overcards that can hit the board as well (K/Q). Secondly, alot of players like to play Ax. While this might seem good at first glance, it makes playing AJ very difficult oop. Imagine the board comes Axy...you bet, someone behind you raises. You never really know if he has a weaker ace, a better ace, two pair, or anything really. You're really just left in the dark with this medium Ace.

With KQ, you don't really run into those problems. Not many people play Kx, except maybe KT or KJ. There's also only the one overcard (an A).

It's just alot easier to play on the whole. Right now I could probably throw AJo into my UTG range and be fine...but when I was playing 50nl it was alot safer for me to take it out. I was a loser with it from UTG.

Re: traz made a video!
 

is this rehosted anywhere since megaupload doesn't work?

Re: traz made a video!
 

Id quite like to make a vid - wondering how to do this????

Re: traz made a video!
 

There's a thread in the sticky that explains how to make a vid.

megaupload works fine as long as you haven't dled anything in the last 8 hours from there :P

If you have an alternative I'll upload it there too

Re: traz made a video!
 

I can upload it at Rapidshare.com, if it's ok with you.

Re: traz made a video!
 

sure, that'd be awesome if you could
