The critiques I would make were the AK fold in the first video and the calling all in with 9 10 s in the last after two other people had gone all in before you - in that circumstance people have either got pairs or paint (or maybe both) and your chances of winning are pretty low. Also towards the end you folded K 8 with only the big blind left and I thought that would have been a good place to push.

In general I like your aggression and you picked your spots quite nicely and the result was good.

in the last video, you should be raising more IMO. With antes you have to make your standard raise 3.5 bb. other wise your giving the bb a wider range to call you with. Im not done but so far so good.

Last video j-10 on A high flop.

The bet was good, but the reason you bet is so if he missed he folds, when he pushes it should be insta fold.(inless you have a sick read)

Limp button is notorious for ace suited or ace middle kicker.


Okay the 8-8 shove. Okay now, if you dont mind a flip okay.. But its so obvious to everyone else what you have when you do that.

AA-KK-QQ-JJ doesnt do that it discourages action.

SO what kind of hand doesnt want action, a medium pocket pair. So your going to get action from any middle stack with decent cards. Every time you get called there your flipping or dominated.

So i think a standard 3.5 bb raise is much better. k-q doesnt call a standard raise i think, they'd push or fold. In essence your not giving villains a chance to make a mistake by shoving all in.


9-10clubs, you have such a big stack compared to your table you should slow down and just wait for the nuts.

I mean use your chips but wait till the button and cutoff its a much better spot less chance of someone waking up with a hand..


its down hill from there.

Can u say TILT. haha jk. im going to stop now. Hope i helped.

I know this, I just always have to fight the feeling of getting bored or like I'm missing out on action or something.

This table was so loose I would have done that with all those except aces.

Thanks for the comments, I like hearing what other's have to say.

Hey AF,

Here we go...

2nd Video:

3 min in - can't remember what you had (TP or overpair) and they had 87s. Flop was bottom pair and flush draw for them. When they bet IP (in position), you reraised to 2000. I think it was too small. You ended up pricing them in. Raise to 2700-3000.

6 min in - K2o(offsuit) in SB. You shove for a ton to get the SB and BB. Worth it? His stack covers 2/5 of yours. You didn't even have A hi. I just think it's risky.

Sidebar: As a video, I think you should be describing your thoughts to the watcher. This way, if we see something that doesn't make sense, we can tell you. Just watching your cards and watch you play does not give the explanation needed to always critique your hands.

7:50 min in - can't remember, but with 2 or 3 limpers, you're in BB. Flop gives you only a gutter. You make a donk bet into two players. One shoves. You fold. Why waste that money? What is your reasoning for the play?

Video 3:

1:40 in - Why shove and double him up? I don't like shoving on smaller stacks, because sometimes they just don't care and call anything just because he's short. I like applying pressure on medium stacks w/ garbage hands. Easy to get away from.

3 min in - You lead into the A 10 x flop w/ J 10....okay, but when he reshoves, you INSTA-call! Why? Did you even think about it? Didn't seem so. 8k to win 26k. The flush draw was only a small part of his range. He is limping on the button w/ A rag or mid A. If he has an A, you only have 7 outs. Is that enough to call?

Side bar: You seem very results-oriented. Only after each play do you say "good move" or " stupid play". You should not look at the results, but look at the play. Shoving K2o into the small blind for your entire stack might not be a profitable play, given the blinds and stack sizes. Maybe it is. But, either way, it has little to do with if it worked that one time. Focus on the play as a whole and the reasoning, not the results. Shoving under the gun w/ 72o into big stacks might work, but is probably not profitable.

Next hand- calling the 2 5 s from the BB raise, might have been a good play, but it definetly should not have been an insta-call.

Next hand - "AK, I'm going in NO MATTER WHAT".....you sound depressed and on SEVERE tilt. Affects your play. Be careful. Recognize it and take a quick break.

9 10 s - discussed above perfectly

Hope this helps.
