Gonna look at it ! I guess its gonna be a shame and will have to explain myself !

Will tell ya later :)

just to clear it up, im "almostcutmyear", not defineluck.. great vid

this stuff is wicked. i really think this format is the best format there is possible. it fixes ALL the leaks of other style videos.

1. it's 1 table so in depth talks about hands (the main flaw of 4 tabling videos)
2. you get to see everyone's cards so you can comment about every hand instead of just from 1 person's perspective (the main flaw of 1 table videos, stretch of nothing when the hero just gets junk)
3. you can analyze the hand in relation to the flow and not hands in vacuums (the main flaw of just talking about specific hands)

if you can play your Coaches games, but then instead of having us listen to the table talk, but instead do it in this format. talk about how the other coaches are playing, then i think that would be the ultimate. there was a lot to take in from both your advice.


some questions for wilt or krantz if you can. on the following hand you guys said i had a made hand and i turned it into a bluff and didn't like the check raise. was the suggested line to check call his turn bet?

the problem i had was i felt pretty confident on the flop but on the turn, although i still felt ahead the board suddenly became very scary and extremely drawy. Since the board was VERY scary i thought check/call flop, check raise turn makes overpairs fold, a pair of tens fold and all the straights and flushes draws fold and all the hands i get value from don't pay me off on the river anyway.

i am making extra money from draws (if they decide to continue, protected my hand if they fold), not losing out on money on hands i beat (i don't think they river bet me or call me), and making a few better hands fold (some overpairs perhaps and pair of tens).

is this wrong way of thinking? then i just check/fold river. otherwise if i check/call the turn, i'm so scared of EVERY river card and i really have no idea what to do.

there was another hand where there was a Q79 with 2 suits on a board where i was the CO PFR with 55 and i made a c-bet in position of 2/3 pot and was check raised off the hand. i was mauled in comments by this play. is it stupid of me to always cbet any AKQ because that was my reason for doing it. it overrode the drawiness of the board. OR was it the fact that i only made a 2/3'd pot bet b/c it was so drawy i should have bet bigger?

is the crime betting at all (with something that has showdown value 55?) or was it my bet sizing that was the bigger crime?

heh i didn't realize i played so bad until watching this. i'm not sure if i was just playing really loose and weird because its far lower stakes than i usually play, or because it was the dc home game. probably both but yea i would normally never 4bet 77 utg like that, would rarely open Q8s in ep let alone call a 3bet oop, and the bet on the river in that hand like you guys said is just horrible. i must of just wanted to hear krantz shit on me a bunch, i dunno. anyways it was really fun doing this and i agree this format is awesome (i'd love to see some msnl vids in this style)

just some thoughts after watching it through.

-the ATs hand i would normally just squeeze/fold to Robin's 3bet.
-timed out with 44.
-the JT hand i think is pretty std given my read & stats at the time on almostcutmyear.
-haha yea was definitely a bit tilted when he 6x bb it pre and folded to my 3bet, that part of the vid cracked me up.
-KK i definitely agree to just 3/4 or pot it when i flop top set on KQx.
-really not sure what i was thinking raise/calling btn with K6cc esp. vs a 19/10 at the time. watching it i was fully expecting to bet flop with 2nd pair once he checked but his river bet is pretty nice after i flat turn, which i think is pretty weak.
-not to pat myself on the back but one area of my game i've been working on is when to go for a check/raise on the river and given the situation and my image i thought that 89 hand was a perfect spot to go for it. i check/jammed as opposed to just c/r because of the ATs hand where i overpushed vs Robin so i was pretty sure it wouldn't get much respect. i almost think a c/r to like 20 there looks even more fishy than just jamming.

ahahahaha i love when robin notes me "aggro luckbox" actually laughed so hard my roommate asked me wtf i was doing. also still laughing from krantz going "woahhhhhhh" "woahhhhhhhh" when squishee limp/raises JQs. i just remember being like YESSS when robin min3bet me i was like ok i have to minraise here and play some poo fling, then he goes and overbets turn and killed the hand :( i would have snapped with the KQo hand but it was the first time anyone just open jammed pre and figured he at like AQ or AK. although if it was KQs i probably just call anyway cause its pretty.

glad you gave me love on flatting with AK pre knowing robin would overjam. this was really fun, thanks for doing it.

i really enjoyed doing the commentary with krantz on this one. it was really fun to see what stuff the DC members had in their bag of tricks.

Squishee -- sorry if we were hard on you bud, we just want you to open up a bit and start having the table adjust to you, instead of you adjusting to the table! :-)

WoT

thanks wilt, that makes a lot of sense.
