Part 1 of my PokerStars 1 million video up at PXF

[Rizen]

I don't want to spam too much and I won't do anything for future videos, but they got my part 1 up today. I was a bit nervous about doing it, so any of you guys that are subscribers I would REALLY appreciate feedback from. I want to make these the best I possibly can.

At any rate, mods if this isn't appropriate feel free to lock/remove it. I'm just excited to have the first video up and look forward to getting more up and hearing some feedback.

Do you want feedback here or at pokerxfactor?
I just started watching, and would just say that you should define 'fancy-play syndrome' as I don't think that is common terminology (outside of 2+2, I guess). I may be wrong about that, though.

Here, there, via private messages. I'll take the feedback wherever you want to give it. I'm looking to try and make these the best I can. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I do have a habit of assuming knowledge of certain terminology when I talk poker.

I'm a little unclear why you advocated not playing the A4s handed early. As you said, you want to get in pots against these weak players. Wouldn't the A4s hand be good to play, not for hitting the ace, but for flush (or possibly straight) possibilities? If that calling station with K2 would call you down with that, imagine how much you could take him for if you flopped the nut flush or something of that sort.

I just finished watching part 1. I thought that it was very good and I am looking forward to the rest of it.

Just finished watching the video and will give you my thoughts.
It was a very good video. I liked the fact you spent time going over key hands, even if you weren't involved in them, to show the mistakes other players made and what we can learn from them.
You also did a good job of explaining your thought processes in the hands you got involved with. I think overall you did a good job of explaining your thoughts without getting bogged down trying to explain poker terminology (e.g. you did a good job of refraining from talking about 'implied odds' or anything like that, which I think is best at this stage of the tourney).
Not surprisingly, these two facets are most important and thus made me find this video useful.
One thing I would recommend is to use the 'notes' function that Sheets and Bax often use and give the players labels. Remember that the viewer just sees Player 7 and it can be harder to remember that he's the calling station and not the trapper than if we had an actual name for him. I like how Bax labels people (e.g. 'slowplayer,' 'rebuy nut') and I think it would be easier for the viewer if you did the same (I mean also label, but you need not use the same labels if you don't like).
So my assessment is very good video. Keep them coming. Although at this rate you are going to have to do something like 10 videos for this one tourney. Not that this is a bad thing (I liked the tempo) but I felt I should point this out.
