Poker Video: No Limit Hold 'Em by WiltOnTilt (Mid Stakes)

This will be an epic series!!

Very very interesting, especially talk about tilting. Looking forward for the rest of the series. Where I can line up for vid review (lol) ?

Just what I needed.

GL on your endeavors, WhiteheatSYD and I'll be checking out your member videos for sure.

You can try to get cam studio to work but I'll tell ya it's a huge pita. I've never been able to get it working properly.

We will try to do at least a part of one of the vids on 3 bet pots. I've got an idea of something a little different than previous methods of videos we can try.

Nice first episode I'm pumped for the rest of the series. As for suggestions I'm sure Alex is in a better position to judge or determine what he needs or wants to work on than I could suggest.

I like all the video formats, live sweats, video reviews, HH reviews, powerpoints, theory discussions... It's all good keep it coming

WoT you are right you need to update your blog... It's been forever... I didn't know you and your wife were expecting, congratulations, I wish you both the best.

Been finding winning difficult lately. Was stuck in my session when this happened.

Biggest pot of your life? Huh. A bit weird that you haven't gotten it in 2bi deep and won in about a year (?) Oh well. IMO, 3bet flop.

I'm kinda in the same situation as you now I think; big downswing --> huge loss of confidence in my game (well maybe this was you a few months ago or so) --> actual loss of quality of play --> bigger downswing --> ad infinitum. Hopefully this series will help me in getting my shit together again.

Best of luck to you with the PROFESSIONALISSSSMM, Alex. (Also, come to the DC IRC channel)

it may not be the biggest, I am not sure to be honest. I chose not to 3 bet, as he was 4 betting a lot, I also felt there wasn't much fold equity vs this player so would of had to of fired multiple streets, with no idea as he had a wide pf calling range. I really expected to see ace ten here

Think he was talking about 3betting on the flop, not preflop.

Didn't read that properly, doh! I felt that I had the board so crushed was better to keep in his bluff range than let him off lightly. He had been taking hands to far, so time to let him hang himself.

OMGOMG!!!

Nice to have this series back

post your vid in member vids fast whiteheadSYD! Wanna watch it!

Will be posted on Saturday.....

Hey guys I was watching the video and wondering if you were going to say something about girlfriends, and in particular, having the right kind.

Fwiw, I firmly believe that a girlfriend/wife should be very, very supportive of you playing poker. If she is not supportive, of you playing poker, then mucking her is a decision which will save you unfathomable buy ins.

I would go so far as to say that a supportive women, in your life, is infinitely more important to the professional,in terms of $$$$, than the casual player.

There is nothing like a great gal to make you "run good."

G.l. and looking forward to the rest of the series.

Couldn't agree more with all of this. It's very important to have your family be extremely supportive of your profession and the work it takes and the stress involved. Having people in your life that aren't supportive of poker is a bankroll killer and a stress creator.

I think I talked a bit about this in one of the Haj school episodes, but it's definitely worth repeating and we probably should have mentioned something about it in this video.

Thanks for watching

When I was playing in the UK and had a girlfriend, I found that after teaching her to play poker, she understood I was not just some gambler. After that she was quite supportive.

cool series.
i would love to make a vid of me playing, reviewed by WhiteHeatSYD.
should i just upload one and send the link to wiltontilt or WhiteHeatSYD?
for sure you can decide if you wanna look at it. playin nl200 sh btw.
thx,

Good Luck with the series. Looking forward to future episodes.

Congratulations on WiltOnTilt and his wife expecting a child, and Alex going pro, good luck to both!

I will check out Alex's reviews of the member videos and hopefully make a video of my own.

I would like to see hand history review videos please. Good luck, Yojimgari

I would like to see some focus on playing out of position well. I have found myself 3b more OOP in order to have initiative and make it easier to play, but I know there are hands like 89s that I should be flatting oop in certain spots. Then I'll x/r a draw, get called, and will have to likely give up or fire a 2nd barrel. Basically, I would like to see a HH review video where you take a bunch of hands that you call with out of the blinds and describe the different ways to play it that make it more profitable to call rather than 3b or fold.

WhiteHeatSYD, I am a member of ASW. If your looking for an invite email me. eschlos@gmail.com

Good luck Alex.

Is the worst part of going pro that you have to play even when you don't feel like it? I find it always feels really crummy to get spanked when you didn't feel like playing in the first place and that's when its most likely to happen. Is there any testing of the waters or do you guys play every session scheduled/available unless you feel really out of sorts?

Given how fast you can kill your profits when steaming in pl/nl games, can you really put in long hours? I switch to a fixed limit game when I'm not at 90%+ to avoid making those huge spews that accompany an nl session gone awry. What do you guys do when b-game sets in?

One last question; When you play do you think about things like your posture, breathing and mindset? Do you talk to yourself (even just internally) about the ongoing game situations, like you would in a training video or are you robotic and in the moment like when riding a bike or playing a video game?

Nice to see you back Alex. I really loved the first serie. Hopefully putting all you energy to being pro and playing poker, deminishes your tilting.

Atleast for me, it's the only reason i'm not winning more and moving up faster.

Alex, where about's in Sydney you live? Im moving to Sydney in Feb to grind it out.

can anyone tell me what book they are talking about @ ~44:00? the british guy is kinda hard to understand
