I think you can verify your account and it will let you add longer videos. I had the same problem.

Re: 2NL to somewhere, last losing player post

Ah ok so done that. The video quality isn't great so it's hard to make out the stats.

They are
Vpip/pfr/af
-----------
cb/ fold cb/ cb turn / fold turn cb
-------------
3bet / fold 3bet / #hands
----------
fold bb to steal / fold sb to steal / att to steal from btn

Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3ekE...ature=youtu.be

Also as a note, if it wasn't for it being on video I probably wouldn't have folded that KK hand out of frustration lol.

Re: 2NL to somewhere, last losing player post

Hey just taking a look at the video but im finding the cards and especially the betsizing really hard to make out. What format is it in? How big is the file?

Yeah I figured it would be too hard. Cheers for looking though.

Didn't realise the cards were so bad to make out also.

Must have had the settings wrong. Will try record another one. Probably tomorrow though.

Re: 2NL to somewhere, last losing player post

Decent hour there.

Here's the session graph


What do you make of this hand? I was close to folding that flop, and pre! He was a decent tag and it made me think he would be capable of bluffing here and seeing I was a reg probably thinks I'd fold anything but a king.

Spoiler:


This one here was against a fish, I thought he probably had the kind of hand he did because I see tonnes of fish do this move. Anyone else see it a lot?

Re: 2NL to somewhere, last losing player post

Played a 3 hour session thinking it's saturday night, I'll find some fish.

Well I did and they outdrew me every time yet again. But there was the one idiot that just seemed to win every hand against me but then spew it all to someone else.

So down -£14.42

Roll wasn't effected much since I won $11 playing 10NL for a bit of fun.

Re: 2NL to somewhere, last losing player post

JJ hand i think you 5bet all in. As played its a fold on the turn. Its a really bad card to DB on.

AJ Hand you should fold when he shoves the flop. If you do some work with Poker stove and estimate a range that he does this with then we dont fair well enough and certainly dont get the odds to call.

TT hand the line the villain takes is always a value line. Bet/check/bet is very common when villain has a decent hand. If i didnt have a showdown hand then i would probably bet the river which has 2 results. 1 we take down the pot which is always good or 2 we get called and see what his bet/check line means.

AK I would probably let go when he 3bets pre. Sucks i know but he is never exploiting us and calling flips our hand up a bit and we could never 4bet/call as we would be in bad shape.

Yeah you wont get Goldstar at that. Im struggling to get it at NL25 if i play 30K hands in a month.

Found a very good article in the COTW thread about mental game.

Even if you have seen it before it's worth a re-read.

Need to start noticing stuff like this a bit more.

Maybe it's worth me going through Poker Tracker and taking notes on all the players with what the plays are.

Re: 2NL to somewhere, last losing player post

So I'm going on holiday in a weeks time for a week where I won't be able to play and I've decided I won't play next week either.

I think the time off will do me good.

So since it's sunday I'm going to play a couple of tournaments. $22 25K GTD and $11 $120k GTD just for a bit of fun. I've not been having any fun playing 5NL

Currently 50/931 in the $22 one.

I have a live tournament next sunday which I'll play since it's around £8000 for 1st and then work on my game after my holiday, though hopefully will have a job then too.

If I get anywhere in any of these I'll update.

Good luck to everyone else on their challenges.

Well I am running deeper than I expected in the $22 25K GTD.

170/201 out of 1115 entrants.

That 10k first prize looks good
