Hi guys, I'm back with my fourth video, this time in a slightly different format.
Recently, I have taken on a pupil who plays 50nl on Stars. I have been coaching him, and will do so all thru July, trying to get him up to 100nl full time.

In this video, we sit together at four 100nl tables, both attempting to play a slightly loose aggressive style, and butting heads in the process! After some tinkering, I figured out how to add in my student's hole cards on key hands, so they will fade in and out around his avatar from time to time. You will be able to see two player's hole cards basically as we spend an hour battling each other, and trying to run over the tables.

Covered in this video:


* Introduction to the sLAG style
* My opening ranges in various positions
* Aggressive plays galore - Iso's, Squeezing, light 3 and 4 betting
* Playing without reads/HUDs
* Battling against another sLAG in and out of position

DOWNLOAD LINK

Please leave any comments/questions about the video here I will try to get to them all. There are a couple little mistakes in the commentary, like claiming to have a read on a shortstacker who just sat, but overall I'm very happy with it. Good luck and happy viewing!

Downloading now. What VIP % do you run during this video?
Slightly loose suggests to me around 20-22% but I could be wrong.

wont they be all grainy and horrible low res on youtube? most of my videos are 1600x1200, so its tough to host them online. I must say though if you don't have 300 mb spare on your computer get a new HD or clean out your porn bro :P

If you need help using Megaupload, or if you want me to transfer it to you over messenger, PM me. I have AIM, Yahoo, and MSN.

I am outside the US and it downloaded just fine for me.

I've also just watched it for the first time, but will need to watch it again after I've had a lie down, 'cause Boy are you agressive. I like it.

5 minutes in

You rr your "pupil" OTB from $4 to $15 w/AKs. Why? You reraise a minraise when you're in the blinds to $7 w/AKo. Why? This makes no friggin sense. Your "pupil" knows that you're trying to be aggressive in this video, why are you trying to blow him out of the water? You have position and would like to use it later in the hand by keeping the pot somewhat smaller now to induce bluff 4bets and maybe calls from dominated hands (unlikely but who knows)from him. I think reraising to $12 is alot better than $15. In the OOP hand your opponents starts with $55! This is a clear indication he sucks. Suckers will call off more preflop after minraising and you're OOP so you don't mind taking the pot down now and it wouldn't hurt to get as committed as you can to the hand. Then after that hand you misused the term "click it back" .

Also saying that you're getting a percentage of his play next month is very unprofessional and stupid but that's JMO.

edit: 3betting KJo out of the BB is ridiculous.

I've never had a problem watching your videos, but I'm getting no sound on this one. I tried both QuickTime and VLC, but no sound on either.

No probs here either, I like the fact that ur vids are large size (next time do 1920x1200? ). And with 1.2MB/s download speed i dont care if its 300 or 900MB
Usually ur vids are g00d so I expect to learn from this one also.
Keep em coming

-Not a bad point about the 3bet size with AK IP, I do think 12 is better in retrospect, I generally make my raises and cbets a bit larger than standard but that was too much.

-Not sure what your point is about the other AK raise to $7, care to elaborate on where I erred? What would you have raised to?

- Regarding mentioning my % in Subv, I don't understand why you care, or why that's 'unprofessional and stupid'. Kind of baffled here.

- RE: KJo 3bet, my hand doesn't matter terribly there and its decent enough, I am reg warring and his range is humongous (his ASB for the sesh was 70%)

Sorry you hated the video Chargers, pleased to accept any further criticism.
I certainly don't play perfect in these videos or ever, sometimes I make some mistakes because I am explaining things or going over another hand, I will try to fix this up in the future.

I did not hated, just commenting as I watch. I had only watched that first 5-6 minutes at the time.

I'd have raised the AKo to around 9-10.

re: unprofess and stupid...if you were coaching me and said something like this i would not be happy because we are watching to learn about poker not about what i'm doing with my money.
