Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by sthief09 (Micro/Small Stakes)

The content is brilliant but the format flat out sucks. Couldn't you just edit the video and show nothing but the hands of interest? Scrolling through the whole session with so much idle motion makes it unwatchable.

I'll see what I can do. I really wanted to include all the hands to get some continuity and a better understanding of how our image and reads of our opponents come into play, but it definitely did move too slowly. I'll see if I can edit it to skip through the dead periods, or maybe a fast forward type effect.

I really appreciate this type of feedback btw, because otherwise I'd just continue doing the same thing. Next week will begin with a similar format, but I'll make sure the pace is better.

When our target is to our left, how much of a card advantage are you willing to give up to play pots with him? What would your range be to open with here and why?

Deleted... I was wrong about the order of hands...

I think using a format like this is fine once in a while. It's good to check up on the "trivial" decisions which are the bulk of our play.

Having all the hands flashed quickly helps for game flow. I'm not sure what the above poster is annoyed about.

I realize that this has been out for some time, but I just watched it for the first time and wanted to put out the dissenting opinion that this format is really great. I didn't think it was too slow or boring. I like that you can get to a lot of hands, and spend a lot of time on interesting spots, without the added confusion of speeding up a video and zooming back and forth. Very nice.

I did notice one technical issue, however. You ran through the hands in table sessions so we could get a feel for table dynamics and image, however in the second set of hands you ran through in reverse chronological order making any such considerations something between irrelevant and misleading.
