Yeah it's good that he did that.

I'd say everyone who is playing to a decent standard should watch the videos on here and as well as picking up good info, also look for leaks and things you don't agree with. Don't take what the instructor says as gospel (apart from AE Jones) and use your own mind to think things through logically.

The coach is paid to make a video, it's expected to be good and instructional.
It's like saying an author releasing a book with a lot of typos is a good thing because it shows us the author is still human and can make mistakes.

Hi there, I don't recognise the analogy at all.

As others have said, you can have a vid with bad play and good commentary addressing this. I'm not saying have bad play and bad commentary. I think we're basically in agreement.

Yo.

I think videos about peoples C-game are really important, cause it helps putting their A-game into perspective.
If a guy tilts a TON, but still beats stakes like 2/4 or higher, u can probably say that his A-game must be pretty darn good (for example by him capitalising on his C-game, or by him being awesome and smart).
If a guy never tilts, u are probably not gonna be that impressed by his A-game, but u should give him a ton of respect for his discipline (and now actually can have quite a good idea about what level u need to play to beat certain stakes).

Or to put it differently:
There is no way of comparing 2 poker players without knowing their C-game as well as their A-game.

I think it's pretty important to maintain composure as much as you can and play as well as you can. I dont know how valuable video's are that show someone's C game tbh, although it is definitely fine if the coach can later identify any mistakes made that he felt he could have done something differently. For whatever reason lately, whenever I get stacked I usually get into subsequent cooler/bad beat type of situations where I blow through 3-4 stacks without being able to really play anything differently looking back on the hands later so that probably has contributed to a bit of a higher "tilt" score more than anything.

There's certainly been sessions where i've tilted and just played not the greatest but I think this one was fine.
