There's no sound after the first hand (flash version)

wmv video loses sound after his introduction too

No sound

Fixed now guys. Ipod version will be up soon -- figured you'd want me to rush the WMV/MP4 versions up as quickly as possible.

Rob

sound is realllllly low for me

It was recorded a bit quieter than some of our other vids. I'll try to touch it up but I can hear it right now w/no issue on my standard speakers, so turn it up a bit for the time being and I'll see what I can do without distorting the audio quality in the meantime.

Rob

I can't hear anything on my laptop (flash version). I can probably crank up my PC speakers to get it but just letting you know that it's still v v v v v v low. Too low or my MacBook to pick up anything.

Yeah I heard this from a few people in IRC so I'm reproducing it (again). It's going to sound good for some people, but probably too quiet for a lot of people with weaker speakers I guess. It sounds great on my iMac. In the meantime I'm producing another version of it now with about 10db of gain that hopefully will sound good without clipping.

Rob

sick play. is this really standard? I am in awe of the balls of RBK.

Which HUD is this?

Holdem Manager afaik.

Nice video

Audio is now louder and should sound good. I'm listening and it sounds much better. Hope y'all enjoy.

THIS
VIDEO
IS
SO
SICK

RBK: When you tried to rebluff shipyourstack for 3600, he had about 2800 on top of that raise amount. do you think a raise to like 3200 would work? as you said, you never have a decision after he jams so it seems like the two sizes accomplish the same thing. 3200 leaves him with 3200 left, so it doesnt seem like it would affect his decision at all either.

yea sorry couldnt remember which, but it was eric.

Yeah got to give it to RBK. If this is what it takes to succeed at HSNL I will NEVER be able to.

This is an amazing video! I'm curious about the laydown vs. SamH. You didn't think that he was trying to bluff the river ... sometimes, I get paranoid about river-bluffs when I'm playing aggressively. I realize there is history with this player and respect for him; sometimes its unclear to me how to use longer history vs. session information. Do you have insights here?

I've watched just about all the NLHE videos on the site. This falls in there with the best of them. You talk about game, dynamics, player dynamics, history, and general philosophy (i.e. hand protection vs. stack protection). All that stuff was great and I hope to get more from your future vids. Awesome work.

thanks bro appreciate the feedback.
as to that hand, it just seemed like a bad spot for him to be bluffing.
i know some players are capable of it, but vs samH i just didnt think a bluff was a big enough part of his range in that spot.
he was one of the few players that i would ever fold to in that spot (which i think/hope i said in the video).
also i wouldnt always fold that hand vs him, however just seemed really likely he had a flush based on the way the hand played out.

i think he bets most of his bluffs on the turn, so i thought it was very likely he was on air on the flop picked up a flush draw on the turn which is why he checked.

cool 5 star vid, would love to hear your thoughts on HU session

treppex convinced me to watch this.

After about 20 mins or so I thought "yea it is interesting but wtf am I learning from it".

By the time it had finished I had changed the way I played poker. More variance to my game certainly, managed to triple my stack on one table and its been a while since I have done that. Why? because I had been leaving these fishy tables once I was deep, scared and deep. Now the whole "protect a stack over a hand" thing has been explained a little I felt more confident. Sure everyone thinks you have just slow played them or that you have just floated them, and sure billy the bluff is having the time of his little life getting me to fold en queue. But this is poker and its fun.

Thanks! more please!

Great vid

What stats do you keep on the Hold'Em Manager HUD?

i keep the vpip and PFR, 3 bet numbers, steal, and fold to 3 bet.

did ur name come from proud mary? lol just wondering

Video was just awesome. The hand againt eric, where he either has the nuts or air, would cib be that bad? Seems like it would accomplish a fold, and risk less?

i addressed this. i hate CIB and think 3200 is optimal as its half his stack.

It seems I say this almost every week, but this video is probably the best video I've seen on DC. Pleaaaaaaaaase give RBK a "movin' on up"-style deep series where he plays a bunch of stakes deep. The analysis in this video and emphasis on protecting your stack and not your hand was just fucking amazing. Give this man a series.

Just wanted to let you know, if you didn't already, that your "last hand history" is screwed up, at 28:15 in the video you check last hand, and it gets the suits mixed up. storkdelamork has a 3c and the board also has a 3c.

you are a bluffing station lol.
