that was one of the best videos i've seen on leggo,i wouldn't say it was ground breaking i just connected well,your a great communicator and i liked the fact that you didn't stop and talk for 10 minutes every second hand,it all rolled along smoothly.

looking forward to more.

Hey guys, I know a lot of you might not know who I am, so I wrote up a little blog entry for those who'd like to know http://www.leggopoker.com/blogs/shoo...e-me-5615.html

If you guys have any questions about the video, I'll be checking the video forum regularly.

I like the more systemic approach about frequencies and ranges in given spots. It would be interesting to analyze some in depth, giving typical ranges and frequencies vs what you think is good.

I like the video, will have to watch it 2nd time to get everything you talk about. I think part of the reason for it is because you get lost in the action a lot where you say "this guy" and point the mouse ver him. Its a little harder to keep track of where the guy is if you dont know it in advance. I think just saying like "on table 2 early position" should be enough to eliminate the issue. I wouldnt go as far as to try to waste time and pronounce his name or anything, just a little direction is all we need really.

Thats pretty much the only criticism i can give. The vid is awesome, not too much i can say other than that. I think the pause and play is good, dont worry about doing too much of it. Even if you have to pause twice more often to explain your thought it wouldnt take away from the vid.

Hope to see more of these soon.

shootaa was a student of mine for some time.

I got a chance to watch the first half or so (special privileges) before it came out, here's what a wrote down:

~5 min. on 895 with 89, this is something I used to never do, and I might not do vs this guy, but its the right idea nonetheless. I think that given how fast this guy folded the turn, he was PURELY playing his hand + the board... given that, it's definitely a bet so he can peel with crappy one pair hands, gutshots, etc. However, the thought that people will think you are checking to give up on this board a LOT, and they will fire K and Q high, as well as some garbage pairs, is good. I think you'll find this more against at least semi-thinking players. Also, these semi-thinking players will frequently bet 5x and 8x and gutshots and other pairs that they are not "suppose" to bet so CR'ing will probably make them make a mistake (check-calling might do the same thing if they are able to barrel). Guy was probably too level one to go for a CR vs though.

~12 min. I thought we might've needed a doctor.

~13 min. Protection of hand/winning what is currently in the pot is more important now than it was two years ago.

~14.5 min. I think you should tank more on the river with T9. It's a very small timing thing but we realize he's almost always got like QT with a heart or or KK/JJ or something with a heart so we reallllly need him to make a hero call-- I think your timing was too strong, I would probably just insta shove to look bluffy vs a 2-4 player or tank (more likely) so that our range is wider and we're thinking about turning pairs into bluffs, shoving thin for value, etc.

BigBadBull:
Thanks for saying what you said about calling the people by name. I wasn't sure if just saying the same name over and over again would get old, but I can see now how it's probably something that's necessary to avoid confusion.

Aaron:
Yeah that's a good comment about the T9 hand and something I probably do pretty frequently that is bad. All the other comments are gay. But seriously, I was telling Vitas that I thought I was going to choke out because I was so dehydrated from having a few beers the evening before, I hope that it didn't hurt the video too much.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.
