Training Video's

Joined Smartpokervideos the other day. I thought it was time to see how others were playing. The advertised a bunch of coachs and content and I happened to be there so I dropped a couple bucks to get credits. You use the credits to buy the video's that you want to see. Its a good idea as anyone (assuming you win I guess) can record the video, narrate. post and sell them.

My enthusiasm soon died however when I discovered that there were only a handful of coaches and the site owner had posted virtually all the content. He seems a decent guy, He gave me 25 extra credits and also gave me the option of my $ back if I wanted. I chose to try it out. In hind sight is was a bad decision. I have only seen 3 video's and it is decent stuff however there is only so much you can learn from one guy. I was looking for some variety.

Again, good concept, decent guy, decent player, decent site, I just think he needs variety. If any of you ballers want to make some money and think you can talk your way through a game, look him up.

Again, I have only seen 3 video's so far but there is already a theme that bugs me a bit. In the video's I have seen so far they run like god. I have had weeks where I didn't catch cards like these guys. LMAO. I'm pretty sure I would do the same thing too. Why post a losing vid, lol.

There is just no making me happy :(

If there is one tip or move that I have maybe picked up from what I have seen so far is the basic "represent a monster" move. Both of the "Coaches" I have seen 3 and 4 bet more than perhaps I would consider. After the flop anyway. I have heard that is Joe Hashem's thing too. he always seems to have a big hand .....

My cash game results have been turning around. I spent a lot of time dissecting my Pokertracker and found a few hands and a few positions I haven't been playing well. I'd like to say I found a big hole but the truth is I know most of them, I just can't fix em. One hole is passing up position too much. Even in Rush Poker I have been stealing blinds like an animal and it is really helping the bottom line. I have also been trying to not lose that big hand that kills a session. I have to learn to look for better spots.

A normal cash session for me is only 500-1000 hands 1 or 2 tabling. Since I bought PT I have put in just over 10k hands. It may be more as I'm not 100% sure all my limits are being picked up. I noticed last night I left out micro stacks. I don't drop there often but when I do it is normally profitable so I'd like to get it included. So at 10,300 I think it was I went back into the profitable zone. Feels good to be up. Even if only for a few $. Adding rackback and cleared bonus's I have a decent cash game ROI. Now if only I could figure out how to get that data into my chart.

I'd love for someone to look at my stats and to read my soul for me. Any offers?

Tonight I have a chance to play a live MTT for the first time since May. Still unsure if I'll go.

Anywho....later skaters...
