I jumped ahead to about 10 minutes and started watching. I actually dropped down from 50NL to 10 NL for the past two days rebuilding my roll. I play 20/18 on 50, though I try to play looser. At 10 NL, I'm a straight nit 16/11 over 5k hands. Oh, and did I mention I took them for 10 buyins in 5 hours 8 tabling.

These are my thoughts and though they might induce bad habits, but here goes:

1. This is 10NL, you think too hard

2. Play ABC poker, I can't stress this, but the 93o in the SB is a fold, forget 7:1

3. You actually talked about people open limping. I never open limp in 50, but I specifically added it to my 10NL game because I pretty much always saw flops with speculative hands. Only once did I have to stop doing this at a table and play a normal game. It was actually fairly profitable.

4. Nice suck out at 17 minutes with the JJ, but yes, donkeys do that, and you needed to FOLD

5. I like the KJs hand at 28 minutes.

6. TT hand, that was tough. But after watching it twice, I'm split between liking it and folding the turn. These guys don't 3-bet light (most of the time), and he has shown strength. He's got KQ+, JJ+ and AT+. Once the J came, I think you were behind his range at that point.

7. 34:58 - don't raise QJ utg 5 handed.

8. 38:26 - don't complete Q8o in the SB. Remember, ABC! And don't raise 104s UTG either. It's not a bad play if your going to play LAG, but horrible for ABC.

9. 41:42 - when he pushes on that board, it's more likely that he actually flopped something and is begging for a call than a draw. They basically get excited that they have a big hand and bet hard. If he was on a draw, I'd see something more like a check or a mini-bet.

10. 43:48 - FOLD 108o. Don't bet it.

11. 49:00 - I didn't like the PF bet, I didn't like the size of the c-bet (make it 2/3-3/4 of a pot, not the pot)

12. 56:28 - The c-bet was ok. Calling his min-raise was standard, Calling the turn was Very bad. At that point you have to assume TP+ or that the turn helped him. You are geting 2.5:1 when you need way more. Implied won't save you, and it's an easy fold. You also mentioned that the spades draw was obvious and it was unlikely for you to get him to pay you.

Other comments/ personal gripes :

I hate FTP sounds, and that was on my nerves.

I also hate looking at those tables, reskin the thing.

You might, if you can put the stats openly showing on the table (like Poker Ace's default).

And one thing that I felt that saved me a ton of time was simply clicking the pot button preflop when you raise. The difference between a 3.75bb pf bet vs a 4bb is irrelivant, but will save you plenty of time and hassle.

Another suggestion is to always be seated in the same spot. It might take PT an orbit to update, but really, try 8 tabling without knowing where your seated and it's just a headache.

Overall, I think your a solid player, but at this level, you have to play tighter. You can be looser than me, but not where you are now.
