Dunno how you edited the video but it would be nice to see you analyze other peoples play and view of it (general assumptions, reads or notes you would make based on those) - just skipping to everytime you have AK+ or QJs otb is kinda bland
Overall pretty bland video but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
Your input is great and your video is very very good. That's the problem when you are such a big name as yourself, the only feedback you get is negative because everyone expects A+ material from you and sometimes you make something thats ....well just A. Imo keep doing what you are doing and if you find the chance to do a live recording vid that would be awesome as well. Thank you - you are a beast.
I really liked how you played the KdQd hand vs the 9To.... I think most people would just c-bet and have missed a ton of value there. I'm assuming your HUD or live read suggested this guy was super agro etc.
Do you use a HUD? If so, it would be interesting to see you make reference to certain tendancies of your opponents and identifying different ways of exploiting them based on their playing tendancies, in order to accumulate chips when your not getting hit in the face with the deck :)
Very much looking forward to future videos of yours.
One question about the QJs hand. Are you bet/folding the river given the fantastic pot odds you will be getting?
Good first vid btw.
Anton,
I try to think about how the guy is playing. Is he opening a lot of pots, how is his sizing, do I think or know from experience that he's capable of certain moves? Do I think he'll make certain calldowns and be willing to fold to enough pressure, or do I expect him to go with it if he's come that far. Then I think about how I'm playing and how I believe I'm perceived by that player and to a lesser degree the people left to act behind me. If for example I have a read that the guy is nuts, but I haven't messed with him much in the past then I'll go for that and expect to get credit. And If I've been the crazy one in our history then I'm more likely to wait for my spot. It's kind of fun being able to establish different relationships with different guys, especially the ones you play with all the time, and being able to play off those relationships.
Matt,
Thanks for that. The next tourney I do will be a lot better, possibly live. I've never used a HUD but after hearing so many people advocate it I think I have to try it soon.
Action and Mathieu,
I'll try to work that into the next video.
Time2,
That would be a wiiild spot. I wanna say yes because that would just be a bonkers spot to bluff and his likely holdings are more prone to calling down than shoving there. like if he had A high or 99 and put me on a miss most people just call not shove.
Neversleeping,
Sometimes it just feels like you're about to get shoved on. Really a miserable flop with that action. Assuming he'd shove most of the big aces preflop, what really isn't shoving on us here. The only hands we can beat like JQ JK A9 AJ can still shove us out of the pot and checking back would avoid that and potentially let us nail a turn card or call down correctly, or even bluff certain runouts. Being that it's not a real time video I'm not 100% why but I felt good on the turn. Assuming the sizing and or timing didn't feel right.
One thing I'd like to see in future videos (haven't watched part 2 or 3 yet though...)
I def think it's important to see what hands your are folding from all positions (so let us see those hands quickly folded)....or better yet, discuss what ranges of hands you would be opening from that position with that stack size. For example, maybe you're dealt AQo in MP and open, but I would like to know what the worst hand you would open there would be in that spot. I think discussing this would really help us understand how best to play pre-flop in these tournies.
I love when instructors talk about the "what if" scenarios during a hand. ie) what if he raised, flatted, etc. what would you do. You don't have to go in too much detail here, but maybe just a quick comment on if you'd raise/fold, raise/call....or what you would have done if the board went another way etc.
Was good though Thanks.
