Chat box on the left table. You're famous!

Edit. Then I get 2 minutes further in and Baluga points it out >.<

I would really like to see Baluga's feedback on the change in Kristy's betsizing. It isn't whether it is right or wrong. For me, it was how her coach wanted her to adjust with this step-up.

I do not remember Baluga saying anything about changing her strategy. She was naturally a bit frustrated with the new level -- but she also changed her game (on betsizing). So, this didn't seem like apples-to-apples (Kristy changed).

In the earlier videos, I remember wondering if I should increase my own betsizing after watching Kristy). That is why it stood out for me. Should WE change/adjust like this when moving up?

i adjusted my betsize to follow what is said in bobofitos' bible, baluga's book and cts's ebook.. during that time my winrate went from 5ptbb to 1ptbb like most regs.. those kind of betsize are definately not good for today's ssnl games

There are better beers than what you can buy in gas stations. If you're going out, go to a bar/restaurant that brews its own and experiment.

good vid, definitely guilty of doing this too. (going aggro monkey)

I noticed the bet size changes as well. I know she justified one of the cbets as a multi way choice, it jump out at me pretty much immediately that she was cbetting much smaller. I'd say a standard response (whether physiological aware or not) to the intimidation level that came with the higher stakes.

Great example of play being affected by an out of comfort zone environment. We all have to go through it. Especially tough I think since she's moved up so quickly.

Good job Kristy, and thanks for sharing your learning process with us.

may i ask where are the stats???'

That was an amazing series of videos. So far it is the best I have seen on this site. I really love the last ten minutes or so where BW talks about the "process" in more detail.

Kristy, putting that session out there took courage. We learn the most from our setbacks. Thank you for being such an active participant in the videos. Your feed back to BW's teaching makes for an engaging dialogue.

Fantasitc series,even with the technical issues.

So we cant bet this turn for collection of dead money? Since vs 2players if we are ahead here and usually we are we barely win at showdown vs 2 random hands. I was pretty suprised to not here anyone bring up collection of dead money am I wrong for thinking this?

the video is good but Kristy's volume is so much higher than Andrew's volume. It's kinda hard for us to adjust our speak volume to avoid jumping out of the chair when kristy cracks up lol

it's frustrating to say the least that Beluga Whale doesn't reply to most questions, oh well

Stop,collaborate and listen?? is Baluga Whale back with his brand new invention?

it's frustrating to say the least that Beluga Whale doesn't reply to most questions, oh well

safe to say....i think you're right.

5 series in and this was definitely one of the most helpful videos to date! Kristy, your selfless decision to include this vid was very much appreciated. You rock!

I don't see a big problem with turning our 7s into a bluff here vs higher mid pairs after the flop checks around.
