He is my idol. Takes the piss out of everything. Absolute genius

The intro to this vid was brilliant, seriously the improvement of your editing skills has become very obvious in your work, keep it up.. Just curious how long it takes you to edit/upload an average video?

Depends on the video. This recent video probably took me 6-7 hours to edit. Generally the process is:

- Go through raw footage and rename them and prioritize the clips I want in video (15-20mins).

- Add clips to timeline. Then crop and reposition each clip (20-30 mins)

- Add transitions between the clips. This used to take me around 30 mins but I found a really quick way of doing it so now it takes me 5mins.

- Intro video for results (10 mins)

- Commentary over highlight hands (30 -60 mins. Depends if audio is all good and whether I like my analysis. This one usually takes around 1 hour because its really hard to commentate over the clips live whilst staying within the time frame of the clip).

- Strategy segment (30- 60mins) This one is also dependent on audio quality and analysis. There have been times where I have recorded the same hand 10x because I couldn't keep it below 5 minutes.

I would say an average road to 500nl video takes me, on average, 3 hours to complete.

This one took me a while because of that 1 minute segment. I watched a lot of tutorials on youtube and played around with a lot of different effects and animations etc. I am probably going to get mixed response for this but I want to try to add some new parts to the videos so it doesn't become monotonous.

Wow, knew alot of work/time went into making a quality vid, but never knew it took THAT MUCH time.... damn mad respect.... I guess you got really enjoy doing it though to keep it up. Well congrats again on the noticeable improvements.

Late to this, but keep going. Subbed.

I mean 3 hours in a week to make a video is not that time consuming. I honestly should be doing 2 a week but with the amount of study our group is doing I am finding it difficult to get in time to create new video ideas

It makes me happy when I log in to YouTube and there's a fresh new skuzlad video that has just been released. These days, I get even more excited over your vids than I do over a new Andrew Neeme vlog.

When you put it like that I guess it is not as bad, however if you take your time to make the video with a bunch of editing and the video length is longer then spending over 5 hours on a single 15-20 min. video just seems crazy to me, I can't even start to think how much time these daily vloggers and people who put all this crazy edits/effects in their videos. Although I am pretty sure they mostly pay someone else to edit their videos considering how time consuming it is, has to be worth the $. Either way the content is always top notch and I am all for 2 videos a week.

Btw skuz, saw that in your videos that you often overbet because "you have enough bluffs", it's true that having potential bluffs is your range is an requirement for overbetting and that if we are short on bluff candidates in a certain spot we should size down in theory.

But the reason to overbet is just to get more value, specially when a good part of our value range is close to the nuts vs villain's range. Without nutted hands to stop us, we won't get punished by going bigger and will put a lot of pressure in villain's range, winning the pot more often.

Now if villain has a lot of nutted combos in his range, we can't overbet "because we have enough bluffs", our value range would isolate itself vs that nutted part of his range and get owned.

Yeah makes sense.

I also just overbet when I think they are a fish/whale and are willing to station off light. Even if I don't think I have that many nuts in range, I will generally do it pretty thin.

We’ve probably played a bit together. In for the journey!

Live and Online are totally different games. If you can, you should take your talents live and focus more on exploitative style of play while sticking to solid poker principles. I very rarely fold sets live against people I've pegged as a rich guy/gal there for fun or a "serious reg" that wants to outplay people in every hand.

In your specific example I wouldnt be happy about it, but would check call off the river. I've just seen too many happy whales excited to show off a ridiculous missed gutshot or think that their top pair or top 2 pairs are good. It's usually those guys at the live table you sort of tell yourself I have top of my range and we will meet at the river... and then you pray.

Just one more thought but I dont really think a rich whale exists online. I sort of assume if they are playing online they at least have a very good idea of what they are doing and actually care about the game. Live you have a lot more people that are there for fun.

Yeah ok, seems like an overwhelming amount of "never folding to whale" with a set response for that hand.


Also new video out today.

Quite long so please give me feedback on whether you prefer the longer style videos (20-30 mins) or the shorter (5-10min) videos.

I personally prefer the shorter ones, but can't speak on what the majority thinks

10 min is sweet spot

10 hr loop of you staring straight into webcam and breathing heavily imo

Rofl of course rich whales exist online..

Are you just trolling? There is a reason why everyone is in agreement that online games are significantly tougher... especially in the US player pool.

Anyone who believes that they are playing online against "fish" are really naive. There are fish, but the ratio of fish to competent fish to sharks to cheaters is absurd compared to what is swimming in a decent sized live poker room. If you dont have that option or you are trying to hone your skills then play online. If you want to make $$ play live.

I dont mind a longer video, but if you do a longer 1 it might help if you did it conversational style. Like you and a buddy or 2 discuss the strategy and or play out certain scenarios. Also have a little fun with it.

Can we keep the live vs online contained to 6bets thread?

Actually, if you are going to get into a pissing contest, that would be meales thread.

Finally, if you want to give advice to someone who is playing at a significantly higher level than you, that would be brokenstars thread.

Dude Live vs Online came up because Scuz was giving Live a whirl and had questions about some of his play live.

The rest of your references I dont really get "pissing contest"? If your point is to stick to supporting Scuzlad and others who are trying to learn from his experience then I totally agree.

Doesn't YouTube have a statistics page, where you can see stats for how long people keep focus on you're videos? I know statistically short videos are the way to go. I like long ones though. I still have to watch you're new one.

It was just a joke. You'd have to follow meales thread to get it.
