As cool as blip tv is bud, this is nearly unwatchable because the cards are so small.

There is a magic button that allows you to go full screen and it looks exactly like it did when I was playing it.

Not much to say so far..

26 minutes or so in on the right table I don't really like cbetting with 55 into two players.

37 minutes when you flop the boat, I like a check on the turn or at least bet a little smaller.

Yeah, that's all I have to say. Pretty standard session really nothing stands out at all.

To each his own on HUD layout, etc. But to see them better while tiling, you could bold your font. That helps me a lot when I tile.

I'm not an expert, but here's my opinion on the play:

7:07 - Make a note on the guy who called you down with the underpair 66 so you know to limit your bluffing against him next time.

15:45 - Stall your failed button steals folds a little bit to make the villains sweat. If you fold those too quickly, they may think they can steal those from you later.

19:15 - Not sure if 33 is strong enough to try the iso-move in MP with loose players in the blinds. But I could be wrong. On the flop, I might think about checking behind since the pot is so big and it takes more to c-bet correctly. You did have a GS draw, but some of your outs were dirty being clubs.

26:20 - 55 and 3 overcards flopped while sandwiched between 2 tough-ish players. I'm check/folding this.

26:45 - Flatting a raise from a 9/5 nit w 54s isn't something I'd do. If you want to make a move on him here, I'd try a 3-bet since his FT3bet% was 92.

28:40 - AK MP flat VS UTG nit raise. "I really don't see any need to 3-bet this guy." His 100% FT3Bet stat wasn't a good reason? All your flat did was sweeten the pot for the SB with A4.

30:25 - QQ MP. I'm C-betting this flop while the pot is smaller. If TBlue calls, then I check the turn. As played, you don't know if CocoaBeach is betting the turn with a J, an FD, an underpair, or air. Then I'd also feel forced to call the river for the same reason. (Although his higher AF and W$SD% were confusing.) I think you get a better read here if you bet flop/check turn.

37:00 - AKs in position. I 3/4 pot bet all day when he checks the turn. But you may even think about a shove since a correct-sized bet would leave you so little behind. Because again to me, his turn check and his high AF most likely mean he's giving up. He didn't seem very tricky.

38:50 - Cat snoring. LOL!

39:25 - I agree that 88 is a setmine and not a 3-bet VS this villain. But with position against his 86% C-bet stat, you could try to re-raise him off the flop. Key word is "could".

41:10 - I'm not a fan of button stealing w QTo VS a noticably difficult player and a shorty. But maybe that's just me. Then, I'm not sure the flop of Js & 2 low Clubs is a "definite check behind". Sure, his FTCBet is only 44%. But to him, the J likely hit you and the whole flop doesn't necessarily hit him since his range is wide-ish. This almost begs for a 2-barrel. I think one benefit of the fact that you have lowered your steal bets amount to $1.50 is that your C-bets don't cost as much. Don't be afraid to use that benefit. Besides, your C-bet% at that table was only 50 (even though he's played 721 hands against you).

So the only overall point I'd make is try to see the whole table and try not to focus on just one player on multi-player flops.

Good video. I want to make mine like that. Can you let us know your recording settings and if you did any compressing/encoding before you uploaded to Blip.TV?

7:50 - A4 on AT2 2-toned you check saying you'll only be called by better aces. I disagree as I think Tx/PPs/even KQ/KJ/QJ and any flush draw will float you here. And even if a flush draw doesn't float you it's better that they fold than you give them a free card.

9:10 - 44T flop you have air but you say he doesn't fold his BB to very many steals in this is just such a great board to cbet I don't understand the check at all.

19:10 - few comments. First I don't get where you figure that a 9/5 will either fold preflop or on the flop after limping. 9/5 means even when he open-limps he has something in the top 10%. Then when called by 2 people I don't see the point to betting that flop. They're both going to have flopped a lot of overpairs or sets imo and even at FR I wouldn't be trying to bluff people off overpairs.

26:15 - KT7 board 3-way I just C/F there, way too drawy a flop and too likely your beat and at best you get a call from someone with 6 outs.

29:40 - you flop TPTK with AK and I just think you're never good when he makes that C/R. He was pretty nitty and I just don't think he's going to C/R AQ/AJ there. I was honestly surprised to see as weak as A4 as I figured it was almost always a set there.

30:30 - K73r flop you have QQ oop. I don't mind checking back in position HU but I think you need to bet here. Not only do you get calls from worse (7x/mid PPs) but you make the hand easier to play because opponents are less likely to bluff you.

AK hand was strange, interested what others think. I don't know if I'd like a turn bet or not. Sure he's got a bunch of random shit in his range (like 77), but he could also check back all monsters looking to CRAI and could also call one more with 77 and we can hardly bet turn shove river if they're blanks because again he could have like AA/AJ here.

My comments, good overall though, gl when you do move up to 100nl again :).

I'll go through the specific comments on play when I get a chance to look at the video this evening but I'll go ahead and answer Stickers question on the recording itself.

I recorded the video using Camtasia and used the recommendations of IceMonkey9 to create a .mov file that I had planned to upload to MegaUpload (even though it's sooooo slow). I then saw what bigjoker66 did to MrSticker's vid and liked that I could stream the video and no have to wait for a download. So I used the program bigjoker66 mentioned, MediaCoder, to transcode the .mov to a .flv (flash video) and uploaded it to blip.

The file actually went up in size when I went from the .mov (108Mb) to the .flv (150Mb), a testament to how good Ice's compression works, but the blip .mov player can't be resized so the .flv was the only way to go. The transcoding (actually making the .flv) process was very fast (~12 minutes) and it was definitely worth the effort to learn how to do it.

Thanks man. Since you used Ice's MOV settings to record, do you remember your transcoding settings? That's where I mess up I think. I usually record in AVI, too. Maybe that's why mine come out a little bit blurry. I might have to try recording in MOV and transcoding from there like you did.

I tried setting MediaCoder to do the conversion by myself, quickly (in about an hour) realized I am too stupid to understand it beyond the basics and used the setup wizard to reinstall. When asked what I wanted to do I just answered .flv if it was a choice. Maybe I could have made it to be a smaller download by messing with the default settings, but the default settings that it chose for me worked and that was enough for me.

So my advice is reinstall MediaCoder, tell it you want to use the setup Wizard, and select .flv whenever it's an option. Or ask someone smarted than me. :)

I prefer RapidShare or MegaUpload so I can save them and watch them without an Internet connection.

Watching it now though.

Didn't realize they had stopped hosting poker vids.
It really wasn't that good anyway. You're not missing much.
