25Nl - My first poker video

yntm3 · #1 08-10-2007, 09:46 AM

Hi everyone,

This is new for me, but I thought it might be a good idea to post a video of me playing and get some feedback from it. I have been having a transformation lately and really feel I am improving, but I'm undergoing some "growing pains" you could say, and still feel a sense of lacking. Hopefully this will remedy some of the problems.

Here's the link: The quality is a little bad, I was trying to make it sizable since I didn't want to make it too large, but gave up some quality in the process. Enjoy the Australian accent!

Poker Video - NL25

Please be completely honest (even brutal for some slight humor). I am taking a little time off poker to REALLY knuckle down so hopefully you can give me some extra things to work on. Maybe you can list 3 elements of my game I could improve on, any leaks, or anything else that you think needs attention.

Cheers guys, very appreciative for anyone who takes some of their time to download and watch this.

P.S. If anyone is interested in joining myself and another dedicated player from Australia in our video exchange group, you are more then welcome. We more or less create videos for each other and swap them around and provide feedback as we go. Just express your interest in a PM and we'll go from there. Looking for about another 1 or 2 more players. We are by no means pros, but we are very dedicated and eager to improve.

For me VLC has no audio, can't identify the audio codec and WMP doesn't have the video only audio.

Hmm okay, I open mine in Media Player Classic.

What codec should I be making my videos next time?

yntm3,

I am probably an exception. As long as it works for the rest of those who download it I don't think you need to worry about using a different codec. I'll trying updating VLC and see if it makes a difference.

The first thing I've noticed is that you aren't taking notes on your players. You figured your opponent for KQ on the AxxK board when you held TT.

Both players showed down their hands (A4s and KQs I believe), but you took no notes about how they played it.

Definitely should have noted that the KQ guy checked the A flop into a 3-way pot then weak lead the turn when the king hit.

Then more notes go on the looser player... he checked the flop and the turn with his A but called the turn bet and checked the river. Very passive!

Looking around the tables you have pretty decent sample sizes on a lot of these guys (200+ hands), but I don't see any note indicators. After this many hands, you should have a ton of notes on all of these players, unless these are just datamined hands.

Will watch more later, but the biggest thing I see right now is lack of note taking (you finally take some notes on your QQ hand that you folded when the guy shows JJ).

***GRUNCH***

Just saw 22 minutes of the video, planing to see the rest later.

Here are my thoughts on some hands:

Minute 1:35 table Drexel

SB vs BB Raise K9s for value

Minute 6:33 table Drexel

Fold 22 OTB there is no set value

Minute 7:35 Table Leroy

I would have made a PSB On the wet flop

Minute 18:13 table Stadler

Nice call with JJ, I would felt every time vs that guy

Minute 20:26 table Stadler

Villain is a Donk raise him preflop to build a pot in position with a hand that is probably ahead of his range.

Ouch he had aces :P
