Hmm. I've listened to this on three computers and have never had an issue with it in any format. One with stock speakers on an iMac, one with some Klipsch speakers on a PC, and another with Sennheiser 280HD headphones.

I'd be really interested to hear (pun not intended) if anyone else is having this issue.

Edit: Just tried this on a more default setup (I have lots of tweaks I do to the audio on my computers as you can probably tell) and I see what you mean. I'm reproducing it to sound better across the board and will upload it as soon as it's done crunching. In addition I helped Josh with his mic settings so hopefully you'll be able to hear him better in future episodes. :)

Hey guys,

I took all the versions down while I'm putting up the new files. Sorry for the inconvenience on this one.

Josh,

You briefly mentioned how you use the 'Won $ saw flop' stat. Can you expand a bit upon this? I've added it to my heads up and I've noticed that bad players tend to have this quite high. My own is sitting at 43%, so now I'm worrying that I suck.

adsman: The two of us must be in the same boat. I knew I was not great, but these No Limit video series make me wonder how many buddy list am I on.

I have come to the conclusion that I can't afford not to get coaching.

Can you explain again the part when your talking about playing against a player with big stake (and us) about the 3-bet pattern and raise the continuation bet.

Thanks

in approximately the 15:00 to 18:00 window there's a seat open two to your left, which i'd think would be the best seat at the table: to the left of the 30/2 and to the right of two tight, unimaginative players. am i overrating this, or shouldn't you stand up and pounce on this seat at first opportunity?
