JimmieG/AlusivPnkBny 25-50 HU Video

[aejones]

My boy Jimmie G. made a 25-50 NL HU video for me to put on the site. He's a former cash game player turned tournament player turned cash game player, who has won over 25 Satellite seats including 6 or 7 I think to the WSOP last year, and now plays 5-10 to 200-400 NLHE HU on primarily Full Tilt, where he's made well over a half million in the last calender year.

Probably the person who has impacted my game the most, and who's game I have impacted the most. I'll have him swing by and answer some of your questions.

This video is easily one of the 5 best on our site at the moment, much better than anything I've done.

what would your rate the 5 best on the site atm? i only say this b/c i've missed some videos and don't know which to watch first, also i'm just curious.

Rob's first video, Peter's first video, Rob's 90 minute video Jimmie's HU video and only video, and the one where Clayton wins like 10 buy ins in 45 minutes.

My favorite 5, I'd say top three are Rob's first, Jimmie's first, and Peter's first (in no order).

Wow that vid was sick, your boy jimmy is pretty tough.

I think min-raising the button is pretty interesting, its something I have done in the past against ppl who 3 bet almost everyhand. Especially with 100bb stacks it seems to effectively deepen the effective stacks postflop which is pretty awesome for us if we have skills in that department.

Great video, but do you gotta eat while making a vid?

I liked it, allthough the fold with Ax (42:xx) on a 9TJQKr board was pretty tight (or did I misread the board?

Personally I feel that instructors shouldn't have "secrets" for their viewers. I'm referring to the arguments Jimmy refused to mention concerning minraising pre-flop (allthough I think I have a pretty good idea). If I had to mention the one thing I didn't like about the vid, then that would be it.

But don't misunderstand me, I still enjoyed it and think i've learned from it. I'll prolly start to play HU on a more regular basis in the near future.

ya he's a huge fish who folds 7 card straights. he didn't notice he had the higher straight, obv he wouldnt have folded if he knew what he was doing.

Yeah I had to go back and listen to what he said again because I pretty much missed all of it while watching that.

Excellent vid though.

Meh, he did a guest video for me at higher stakes than we've had done on the site, I very frequently don't give away things in my videos, I just don't tell people that I'm not giving them away and reserve things for my students and myself.
