Sorry I usually dont play on Stars Don't have it setup

Video downloaded just fine and played fine as well.
I really enjoyed watching the video, ty for taking the time to make it.

You guys that are playing it fine, what are you using? BTW, all your previous videos no longer have sound, JE, but all other videos work fine in QuickTime. Weird.

Another helpful video. Thanks.

Windows Media Player.

WMP says that avi files are an invalid format.

WMP works great for me

Of course, all you Windows users get to use up to WMP 11, and I'm running WMV 9 on my Mac. I just don't want to have to open Parallels to watch a video.

Awesome video, could u make a 6 ring video?

For some bizarre reason it launched in winamp for me. Not even sure why I have winamp because I've been using the windows media player for music.

Nice video!

BTW: Did you light a joint at around 45 min? hehehehe

EDIT: Where/how can we get your other videos?

free DL @ 250k/s is pretty good... looking forward to this because I am this style...

It evolved from the following:

short stack - fold / 5xBB / shove strategy (200NL) - winning when fish avail, losing against TAG's

Full stack LAG - major swings but in the end a losing strategy (give it all back)

Full Stack Tight Weak - marginal winner

2+2 sLAG - winning so far

damn all I got is sound... no pictures

Got it going just fine.

I don't play FULL ring but I found myself screaming BET BET BET at you while u played... I thought a couple of your reads were way off and you should have been pounding those stations... especially the spot at 16min where u had QQ vs villian who raised in EP...

My play generally is slightly Loose ULTRA Aggressive I'm currently running at 21 / 18 / 6.... so it might be too much for full ring... it works well at 6 max.

QuickTime, Zoom Player, Media Player Classic also work for me
VLC doesn't (no sound)

Chalk another one up for "can't get it to work".

Just finished the video. I quite liked it. SubV needs a bit more tuition... lol.

I like how u owned SubV 3 betting him with almost anything.. but hardly 3 bet anyone else.

I have to be honest a lot of it seemed like aggression for aggression sake IMHO. I really don't understand why you'd openly want to stir up and go to war with other regulars when the continuous preflop aggression between such regs will push poor players who make most of their mistakes post-flop out of the pot pre.

I'm not saying this is the case with you JE but a lot of guys seem to want to play the "2+2 18/16 sLAG style" out of pure Ego but I'd love to see some big samples (400k+) from these sorts of players that proves it is actually more effective than your Narena's or McAllin's or Fuzzypups, etc, etc.

All this said, I enjoyed the video and it did give me some pointers to situations that I'm letting pass me by where I can perhaps be more aggressive without breaking down natural peace treaties.

AceVader - some of it was aggression for its own sake, we wanted to create a decent number of confrontations. Of course our aggression and warring here was a bit over the top, but it's a glimpse of the sort of plays you can utilize against other aggressive regulars given the warring situations that develop. SubV and I were playing as though we already had some history and were kind of going after each other.

As far as profitability, I think an 18/16 style can definitely make a higher bb/100 than a 12/7 or whatnot. Narena has said this himself, but admits he wouldn't be able to 16 table effectively so he made more $/hr playing a ton of hands/month without having to get too crazy.

If you can excel at the sLAG style, you are maximizing your positional advantage, punishing limpers and blind nits with high frequency, and creating big pots IP where you can flex your postflop advantage over predictable players. The issue is that most low stake grinders don't have the postflop skill or tilt control to play a high variance, high aggression style profitably, much less 16 table that way. It's a work in progress for myself also, I am likely most +EV playing 14/11 but that is due to my postflop and hand reading deficiencies.

Thanks sir. I wouldn't make a six max video because I am not experienced enough at it. I think I am a winner at 100 and 200nl 6max, but don't have the history to prove it. I have won at full ring consistently over 400k hands so I felt qualified there I'm sure if you check the SSNL forum, some better players than me have posted free vids.

Thanks, and no joint but I took a puff from my pipe

You can find my other videos by searching for threads I have started, or going to goldseraph.blogspot.com and I have the links to the threads there on the right margin.

Full ring is a very different game than 6max, if you could list some of the reads you felt were way off we could discuss them. BTW 21/18 is hardly loose ultra aggressive at six max, and yes it is too much for most FR players.

Agreed but a 21/18 6-max player wont have 21/18 stats at FR even if he plays the exact same range/style in both games.
Firstly in EP the range should be tight so that will pull down the average, secondly in MP you wont be able to open as wide a range since you will often face a raise from EP.

As long as you have a winning style, or thought process making the transition shouldnt be too difficult.
There are differences though but part of playing good poker is adjusting so its a good idea to mix it up once in a while I think.

I am watching this vid at the moment, and I honestly don't know why people pay money for these when they are out there for free if you look. Good job OP!

Ok here´s two hands I have questions about:

#1 you have QQ at around 16 minutes in and call an EP raise in the blinds. You then c/r the flop to see where you are (right?) and say that you need to be "worried" if he continues, then the turn blanks and you "bet/fold". While it went well, isn´t it the case that you play two streets trying to probably take the pot down as is though your hand has decent showdown value - kinda like almost turning it into a bluff? I mean, what´s the exact purpose of those actions - getting value from say {JJ-99} or, as you comments sound, to get the info that you need to fold if beaten? Is a raise by the villain some info that is reliable enough to lay down the hand ("he hardly ever does this with JJ,TT"), if not, aren´t we just creating the big pot you say you want to avoid? Do you actualy fold if he shoves flop/turn? If so, isn´t it the case that check-calling flop, bet/folding turn looks almost equaly strong and gets equaly reliable information, while costing us less?

#2 set of 8s at around 40 minutes in:
I have doubts about just calling the flop. Yes, you two are out to get each other, but he´ll still be strong on average with his UTG raise, while the flop is such that it´s hard for him to lay down a range of {AA-QQ}, which he´ll have very often, as you could be semi-bluffing a draw here. Perfect conditions to put in a healthy raise on the flop, trying to stack him imo. No?
