So here are my thoughts.
I have a software that allows to record my screen as a video and add any comments to it. So I'm thinking if it would be good or bad idea to upload some of my sessions on youtube and post the links here with an intent that others could view them to chip in with their thoughts to help me to improve my game. I mean, I'm a newbie in poker and therefore have a vast space (like an ocean size of space) of room of improving my game. I'm only trying to play against fish and steer away from regs as you can imagine otherwise I would hand all my hard earned money to you

But there is a dilemma. On one hand my current game would be available for the entire internet to see i.e. anybody has access to it. So one could in theory study me and exploit my weaknesses if ever encountered me in one of the poker rooms. On the other hand these videos could be super handy in improving my game as video tells a lot more than analyzing someones HH or stats. You can really get the sense of dynamics of the session, understand the way villain played, understand how I played and from there more experienced players could see the mistakes and offer a better feedback to improve. I could then also add any comments/feedback directly to the video and then watch it as many times until I really start to understand what I'm doing wrong. The other thing I thinking about, would anyone even want to spend any time to watch the videos to help someone like me.

I play cash, HU NL
Your sincere thoughts on this subject?

Not just in theory ... very likely, in practice as well

you could block things out you didnt want people to see. seems like it could be an easy way for ppl to give u feedback.

This is something that needs to be considered in this well. As you can tell from this board as of late its getting rarer for solid info/help to be distributed for obvious reasons.

I agree, good help is hard to come by these days, if you asked this 5 years ago I would say sure, but not these days.
