Daniel plays 4 tables of $100 NL Zoom on Stars while pausing to discuss different spots, differences in his play when playing Zoom and his general approach to the game.
23,30 ~ Table 2 you open T9s in mp, co calls. Flop comes 59Kss, you cbet and villain call. What would be your general plan if the turn blanks? It feels like both c/c and c/f could be viable? Would u ever bet? As u said in the vid his range in these positions shouldn't be too wide, so maybe c/c isn't that great, it would prolly be better co vs btn? What do u think?
33,30 ~ Table 2 you open 98o otb, fish in sb calls. Flop comes K57ss, you cbet villain call. Turn is an ace and you triplebarrel when the river blanks. I assume the reason you triplebarrel here is because you still think he peel stuff like 7x, 5x etc on the turn? Cuz if he doesn't I just think he has a K to often that isn't folding? Which leads my to think that if he were to be a reg, this isn't a great spot to barrel off, since he is just gonna have a Kx to often? At the same time we obv need to have a bluffingrange. Thoughts?
I think you might want to get coaching before offering videos. Your last few videos have been filled with errors and conflicting thought process.
A9 hand with no history is played terribly on every street. Worst decision you could take pf/flop and turn were taken
The AQ hand, how can you even say that you would not expect him to have it there? You have 2 hands on him. You know nothing about him. Cbetting that board vs a possible reg with 0 history is probably the worst decision possible besides folding AA pf if you're gonna stack off. K9 call pf makes no sense, esp with the hands you have on the guy, the t7o raise into the fish makes little sense, you make money from the fish by playing strong hand into their weak range, its with the regs that t7o becomes a good open. (remember that hardcore bumhunters often play 40vpip hu)
Lots of other small decisions were pretty bad and bet sizes. Get your game checked by a winner.
Dont bother replying, i know you can talk your way into all of this making sense, i have seen it in the micro forums. People are amazing at making sense of spew/badplays with technical terms.
Quite sad because your videos were really fun when you were a lagmonster running good, nwo the level of play is similar to those i coach at micros.
And if this sounds like its on a negative tone, its not. Just advice. Good luck

I disagree alot with this post!
A9o pre opening or folding vs uknown should be right around the edge so what ever. Cant see why this hand would be bad to 4bet sometimes, so again perfectly reasonably played. Flop and turn seem extremely std, although I aswell feel a bit nasty shoving it in on the turn, but believe its the right and only play.
AQ hand: even a big sample of hands is not gonna give alot of help weather he has AQ on his range or not, atleast if we pass the is he a fish or a reg face. I felt dougies analysis to be very good with the amount of info he had, and I much agree that people are not very likely to take a line like this with AQ. Although maybe not so much because they 3bet it so much pre, but just because they dont easily realize that the flop can be a good raise for value and stack off vs many.
Its mostly an experience thing, where you should be going by population reads more than trying to find the answer from the stats, although a big sample one might give a tiny bit of help. Some sort of written down read could prove to be super valuable though.
One aspect where I was kinda disliking this video, was that I felt dougie made way too big assumptions over samples of 15 hands and such. Analyzis where just ignoring the stats beyond the point of someone being a reg very likely would be better imo.
Anyway I felt it was a very solid video and enjoyed it! Probably ended up paying alot more attention to it because of reading your post before watching.
I think you might want to get coaching before offering videos. Your last few videos have been filled with errors and conflicting thought process.
I am pretty sure when a producer reads something like that he is gonna review some spots in vids, think about his game, feel a lil uneasy and ask some advice from other players. Sadly enough you make it really tough cause you dont really explain your statement at all.
A9 hand with no history is played terribly on every street. Worst decision you could take pf/flop and turn were taken
I do not agree, and as you dont give a reasoning there is no point in offering a discussion.
The AQ hand, how can you even say that you would not expect him to have it there? You have 2 hands on him. You know nothing about him. Cbetting that board vs a possible reg with 0 history is probably the worst decision possible besides folding AA pf if you're gonna stack off.
I disagree again, as you are giving some insights into your thought-process, i will give some too: cbet-check/call-check/decide plays well vers regs and fish for different reasons, it is also decent for you range on a board like this. Most people do not raise AQ on a board like this, so i think the assumption that he doesnt have that is valid (population reads can be quite accurate in spots like this, we can also expect his bluffing-freq to be higher, as baiesian probability dictates). I assume you are talking about the TT vs AQ-hand btw, again you make it hard to find the spot youre talking about.
K9 call pf makes no sense, esp with the hands you have on the guy,
To me it seems like you have some trouble with basic maths. The K9o-call vers a weak player is totally fine with the odds we're getting.
the t7o raise into the fish makes little sense, you make money from the fish by playing strong hand into their weak range, its with the regs that t7o becomes a good open. (remember that hardcore bumhunters often play 40vpip hu)
People who play 40vpip against fish are doing that because they can get away with it, and because they might not be very good at poker. going below 55vpip is completely mental vers anybody who doesnt triple-pot every flop. T7o is fine ip for sure if he doesnt 3bet a lot.
Lots of other small decisions were pretty bad and bet sizes.
I assume you dont wanna give us a hint on the correct betsizing in spots, cause to me dougie's betsizing in particular seems fine.
Sadly enough i am a regfish as well (as you smartly found out within the first 10 seconds of my first vid), so i guess my opinion is worth nothing. To anybody else i hope it is somewhat entertaining and might help you understand the intricacies about certain spots.
As i said everything can be turned around with words in this game. What counts is the result and dougy only had good results for a very short amount of hand(which lasted long because he plays so little tables)
He's obviously not horrible but i doubt his game is good enough to be charging people to watch it. Anyways all the replies as of now are assumption about this and that. You can't assume ANYTHING from 2 hands, even if you could, anyone with a decent head would pass that situation and get a read or even 25 hands first. 2mins after those spots he assumed that someone was a nit and probably not a big 4better because he was nitty of 7 or 14 hands.. seriously? you've never had 72o j3o etc etc for 2-3 orbits?
This site is about teaching people to get better, no one is getting better by 4betting an unknown with 2hands with a9 and just bet betshoving Axx when KTo is almost never calling.
People also always play AQ that way, i dont know in which world you guys live in but everything i heard is a complete lie. Raising tp for value is standard nowadays with bad regs just leveling themselves to think that you have 22 or KJ
I want to see a large sample of hands at zoom where calling vs a possibly fishy guy(with not many hands) with k9o oop makes you any money. Is he a 25/5 fish or a 90/80? No idea, No way you're gonna do better than breakeven which is why dougy is having such bad results, he's just following what all the breakeveners are calling standard after seeing a sick pro like the end or haranghutan doing it
As i said everything can be turned around with words in this game. What counts is the result and dougy only had good results for a very short amount of hand(which lasted long because he plays so little tables)
How do you know dougies exact results? You also said that i am break-even, basing your statement on false evidence. I looked in his blog and its not like he just posted all his results in a diary.
He's obviously not horrible but i doubt his game is good enough to be charging people to watch it.
What stakes do you play and against what opposition, if i may ask? I see that you havent given any info whatsoever on yourself in your profile, nor do you write a blog. I dont doubt his game is good enough, but for all i know (depending on my competence and yours) i might be wrong.
Anyways all the replies as of now are assumption about this and that. You can't assume ANYTHING from 2 hands, even if you could, anyone with a decent head would pass that situation and get a read or even 25 hands first.
There is a funny statement by Phil Galfond on this type of situation, also there is a branch of mathematics, which gives you the tools to work out things based on very little information (the "baiesian theorem" might be one of the more important things to look at). Phil Galfond studied that (and other things) in order to get better, and he said most people need too much proof before they make any assumption. This is not me saying you should always act on a 2-hand sample, but making certain reads based on less evidence is actually something that will teach people a lot (the A9o-hand falls under this category, i believe).
[...] when KTo is almost never calling.
This is an assumption based on a population-read, isnt it? Exactly the thing you are telling Dougie off for.
People also always play AQ that way
Which people? At which stakes?
No way you're gonna do better than breakeven which is why dougy is having such bad results, he's just following what all the breakeveners are calling standard after seeing a sick pro like the end or haranghutan doing it
If this indeed is his leak and the reason why his results are (supposedly) bad, well spotted! Its also the reason why my results are bad then.
Thanks for your reply, i hope this somehow helps you.
23,30 ~ Table 2 you open T9s in mp, co calls. Flop comes 59Kss, you cbet and villain call. What would be your general plan if the turn blanks? It feels like both c/c and c/f could be viable? Would u ever bet? As u said in the vid his range in these positions shouldn't be too wide, so maybe c/c isn't that great, it would prolly be better co vs btn? What do u think?
general plan would likely be to c/f, since i dont really know how wide he is, its going to be really difficult to c/c not knowing how many FDs he can have or if he flats or raises QJs type stuff on the flop or not. As his range gets wider like BVB or BTN-CO i think c/c becomes better yeah, due to him having a wide range which contains alot more possible bluffing hands.
33,30 ~ Table 2 you open 98o otb, fish in sb calls. Flop comes K57ss, you cbet villain call. Turn is an ace and you triplebarrel when the river blanks. I assume the reason you triplebarrel here is because you still think he peel stuff like 7x, 5x etc on the turn? Cuz if he doesn't I just think he has a K to often that isn't folding? Which leads my to think that if he were to be a reg, this isn't a great spot to barrel off, since he is just gonna have a Kx to often? At the same time we obv need to have a bluffingrange. Thoughts?
Yeah I think he can call 7x or 5x on the turn, i also think its possible he has some FDs and 88/99 type stuff. Its just a spot where my range is generally alot stronger than his and he is going to have a hard time blindly calling down with 1 pair type hands. I think its plausible KX folds the river but Id imagine most people just click call. I dont mind bluffing here vs a reg as the top of their range is going to be KX pretty much, whereas we can have alot of 2 pairs and Ax hands, which will all be value betting for sure.
first off, I dont mind if you dislike my video(s) or want to post your opinion, its just annoying/frustrating when you give no reasoning and just say things are bad or w/e without going into any detail what so ever.
if i make mistakes while recording a video im not going to stop it going out, its real life and I dont play every hand the way I would like to if I coudl do it again, personally when i watch an Aejones or Sauce video I would rather they played hands badly and then spoke about why they now would do x or y, or why they took that line at the time, rather than them running hot and stacking fools.
you say my videos were better when i was running hot and winning alot, but why would that change the quality of a video ? if i was running hot but still not so good at poker then I wouldnt have been able to make videos as it would have became quickly apparent that I had no clue what i was talking about.
A9 hand -
I dont think 4betting is bad at all, i need him to fold 60% of the time and with 0 history I think that its highly possible. I do agree that with no hands on someone folding is possibly and probably better, which i actually said in the video.
You hint at me making the wrong decision on the flop, which im going to assume means you prefer to c/c. If you think thats the best line then just post why you think so and everyone can discuss it. I think c/c turns our hand extremely face up and allows our opponent to play his range very well, I also get value from alot of worse hands. I actually talk about this in the video and all you have to do is tell me why you disagree with what i said, not just say oh this is bad this is bad and give no input.
AQ hand when i have TT -
I said that I didnt think he had AQ for a few reasons, the first being that with 0 history I think its unlikely he raises flop with it, I really dont see how you can disagree with this or think its ridiculous. I would not be raising with AQ in his shoes vs someone with no history anyway. although It is of course possible and i say that in the video. 2nd reason being that there is obviously a non-zero % of the time he 3bets it pre-flop.
if we quickly look at a general range we could assign him, say AQs, AQo, 88 and 33 for value, then nutted FDs like A8-AJhh, JThh J9hh T9hh 8xhh, vs this range we have ~32% and we need 30% to call. so maybe my call is bad, I dunno, but all it takes is for him to flat the flop with AQ sometimes or 3bet it sometimes, or for him to bluff a little wider on the flop, and it becomes a fistpump-call.
K9o call and T7 open vs fish i dunno what you are talking about because (again) you are just throwing random comments our there and I dont have time to watch the whole vid to find the spots your talking about
from the T7o it sounds like you are saying that I should open wider vs regs than I do vs fish, which I believe to be 100% wrong for blatantly obvious reasons, if you share yours i will share mine.
I know you told me to not bother replying but dont worry I dont mind, although if your not gonna give reasoning behind your statements then maybe you shouldnt bother replying either.
Ill take you advice on board anyways, thanks for watching, gl to you too.
One aspect where I was kinda disliking this video, was that I felt dougie made way too big assumptions over samples of 15 hands and such. Analyzis where just ignoring the stats beyond the point of someone being a reg very likely would be better imo.
Anyway I felt it was a very solid video and enjoyed it! Probably ended up paying alot more attention to it because of reading your post before watching.
Thanks Ill take that on board, I do think that sometimes I did make too many assumptions without having enough info to do so, or if I do so I should make it clear that its very possible that they wont be correct due to limited information.
I guess its one of the problems of making a Zoom video at a limit where you havent played, since you know basically nothing about them and are forced to make assumptions in order to explain your thought process.
jst saw myself defend K9o BTN-BB vs a 2.5x open from an 85bb stack at 9mins 50 secs, if this is what your referring to then I dunno what to say, its just a very clear call.
I think your 5bet snapshove with QQ is a big timing tell which means that you're never bluffing. I personally make it a standard to take the same time for 4-bet/5betting almost always to not give anything away.
The A9o is bad too imo. You're taking a leap in the dark as to whether your 4-bet works often enough. IMO it's at best borderline against an unknown and I would just avoid putting myself into a tough spot. Ppl on NL100 zoom play back at 4-bets sometimes (flatting or shoving), and you said it yourself at the beginning of the vid, games are a lot more aggro preflop. Then this A9o might become a fold instead of a 4-bet, because he might 3-bet wide for value and not be folding, and 5-bet shoving for value/as a bluff, and you have no idea about your fold equity or postflop playability if you hit something.
As gross as it may seem, you should check/fold the turn IMO. Yes he might float you with worse hands on the flop but those are just few and far between and once again this is a big leap in the dark as to whether an unknown is going to call a 4-bet, call a cbet with many worse on an Axx board and then call a shove on the turn. If he has a fd he's raising those at least some of the time on the flop (especially with a gutshot), and if he has a pure float/worse hand you should let him bluff anyway (which I wouldn't put in his range to begin with). IMO you'll see AT-AQ here a lot and too often to make a shove profitable: the range he's calling you with has you crushed and there's not a lot to protect against because it takes way too much assumptions to assign him enough flushdraws/bluffs. I know that seems to contradict with what I said about ppl playing back against 4-bets, but it doesn't really. Just because there are ppl playing back at 4-bets sometimes, doesn't mean that it's standard enough to warrant this action as a standard on this runout against an unknown. Especially because you seem to not have been playing this stake and format often.
What was said earlier is true: you make assumptions about players with a very limited sample size, which is wrong. I know you're adding "but I know it's a small sample" a lot, but the correct explanation is just to say that he's basically unknown, period. I've heard you describe ppl that are actually the complete opposite of what you said (I'm Timor83 in the vid btw, in case you didn't catch that already :)).
first off, I dont mind if you dislike my video(s) or want to post your opinion, its just annoying/frustrating when you give no reasoning and just say things are bad or w/e without going into any detail what so ever. Reason: reminds me of cardrunners videos. A video maker should be either a crusher or someone who has a very different thought process than normal bringing new ideas to other people, ever since you nitted up you've become pretty bland, i think myself and a lot of others enjoyed watching someone play lag and see how he thought about hands with his image
if i make mistakes while recording a video im not going to stop it going out, its real life and I dont play every hand the way I would like to if I coudl do it again, personally when i watch an Aejones or Sauce video I would rather they played hands badly and then spoke about why they now would do x or y, or why they took that line at the time, rather than them running hot and stacking fools. Again this is fine the problem is that the explaination is often wrong, aejones and sauce are so good, if they are ever wrong i would never notice it because it would be a tiny fraction of a wrong
you say my videos were better when i was running hot and winning alot, but why would that change the quality of a video ? if i was running hot but still not so good at poker then I wouldnt have been able to make videos as it would have became quickly apparent that I had no clue what i was talking about. Again you were playing lag and having easier decisions because people go nuts or super nitty vs lags
A9 hand -
I dont think 4betting is bad at all, i need him to fold 60% of the time and with 0 history I think that its highly possible. I do agree that with no hands on someone folding is possibly and probably better, which i actually said in the video.

I actually talk about this in the video and all you have to do is tell me why you disagree with what i said, not just say oh this is bad this is bad and give no input.
Ok why is this terrible? You need him to fold 60% Ok BOOM. 2 hands in you have 0,000000% of an idea of how many % of the time he is going to fold, there is absolutely no assumption there. You have no idea if he is a reg, a pro, a fish a rakeback grinder a nit a lag or anything. All you know is that people 3bet more on zoom but thats way too much of an assumption vs a 2hand sample. If he is the average grinder that's close to solid, he wont 3bet bluff an unknown, he'll 3bet a large range for value which definitely wont fold against an obvious first raise 4bet which is always crap like you had. Let's say the 4bet was good which it was not(Cant you just let a small hand go sometimes? the people that cant are the crazy 1.2mil hand a year rakeback grinders on stars like franwan) You get to the flop. You choose betsizes to get it in.. seriously? Let's just go past your thinking that KT will get it in(seriously?) Why would you 'balance' your betsize at 100nl against a guy you have 2 hands vs while no one else is watching the hand? Anyone in a right state of mind would NOT want to get it in with a9o. If you want to charge a draw, check shove(terrible) or bet smaller(oh? you might get away with a 3barrel that would save you some money against AJ/AQ/AT if he ends up just calling because clearly you're never getting a stack out of someone the way you played it, only a nice redline)
let me just add an other thought here. A bad grinder will think of a spot and think of the average response to a scenario that in the long term will bring a profit. But this profit will be insanely smaller than the one of a player that thinks of every hand as a standalone hand. Think of a hand like this: In this Exact situation vs this exact player at this EXACT table(where no one is looking because its zoom) etc etc, what sthe best way to lose the less if i have shit and whats the best way to make the most if i have the best hand while not loosing stupidly against obvious better hands
AQ hand when i have TT -
I said that I didnt think he had AQ for a few reasons, the first being that with 0 history I think its unlikely he raises flop with it, I really dont see how you can disagree with this or think its ridiculous. I would not be raising with AQ in his shoes vs someone with no history anyway(so you would not, but i know that most of my friends would raise a fullstack in this spot for the exact reason that people like you cant gve up a hand.. EVER, and your kind is the most common kind of regs at 50nl to 200nl). although It is of course possible and i say that in the video. 2nd reason being that there is obviously a non-zero % of the time he 3bets it pre-flop(now who in their right mind would 3bet it with no history? people 4bet so light as seen by your a9o bad 4bet. One average reg can safely assume that 3betting AQo in pos with no history/stats is just looking for trouble on average just like 4betting a9o the first time bvb is looking for trouble against anyone half-decent).
if we quickly look at a general range we could assign him, say AQs, AQo, 88 and 33 for value, then nutted FDs like A8-AJhh, JThh J9hh T9hh 8xhh, vs this range we have ~32% and we need 30% to call. so maybe my call is bad, I dunno, but all it takes is for him to flat the flop with AQ sometimes or 3bet it sometimes, or for him to bluff a little wider on the flop, and it becomes a fistpump-call.So what? You think that this Flop decision with an ev of liek 1$ is going to bring you fortunes? clearly putting yourself in this spot oop with no history is burning money away. Couldnt you simply CC with no history? trying to keep the pot smaller in a spot where you'll easily make a ton of mistake with no history/stat? Clearly the best play is to play this hand passively. If you have the best hand you're pretty much way ahead or close to even vs a great draw, the pot should be kept small oop. Those are the spot the regs of your kind leak way too much in. Seriously drop the math and remember those are 100nl regs not 1k nl
K9o call and T7 open vs fish i dunno what you are talking about because (again) you are just throwing random comments our there and I dont have time to watch the whole vid to find the spots your talking about
from the T7o it sounds like you are saying that I should open wider vs regs than I do vs fish, which I believe to be 100% wrong for blatantly obvious reasons, if you share yours i will share mine. Well then if all that counts is having position on a fish to beat it, why are you opening 2.5x vs fishes as well? smaller open size should only be because regs 3bet. Fish don't 3bet so you should open t7o 4x with that logic. It's never horrible to play crap hands like t7o vs a fish but you don't really make that much from it and you should use your time to concentrate on playing better hands vs them to stack them quickly and to stop yourself from spewing hands like the ones above(i didnt finish the video, i could not take more of it)
I know you told me to not bother replying but dont worry I dont mind, although if your not gonna give reasoning behind your statements then maybe you shouldnt bother replying either.
Ill take you advice on board anyways, thanks for watching, gl to you too.
Seriously, we all know you are in a massive downswing and you cant or barely win and you wont admit that your game needs a lot of help because leggo is giving you money that you need. Maybe drop down for the videos?

Hey, just wanted to let you know that we had to do a bit of convincing to get dougie making videos (this is only his third or fourth in the last 6 months, we bribed him to do a few videos by dangling a coaching series with Chewy in front of him!) and he's not coming to Leggo just for a paycheck. I am not sure exactly what he's playing these days but in the last 9 months (primarily around last fall) I've played a few thousand hands with dougie and I think he's good and hard to play against.
I watched the first few minutes of this video, and I would play the A9 hand similar very often even without history. I would probably bet $13 on the flop and $26 or so on the turn and perhaps check river, depending on the run out.
Also re: opening wider vs donks (I don't know the hand in question, just coming to comment on the discussion). I will, of course, open wider vs donks (unless, specifically, the donk is out of control aggressive and just shoveling 100 bigs in pre over my open raise), specifically with position. The reason a donk is a donk is that they are not reading your hand, they're barely reading their own hand and the board (I mean, not always, but usually). Of course you're not going to bluff a donk off of A9 on Axxxx, but c-bets work better against donks on boards that are obvious to c-bet (and ones that good regulars will float wider and bluff raise to counter over c-betting), multi barrel bluffs work better on boards that are obvious barrel spots, and (perhaps most importantly) you can build pots to bluff at because the most common donk trait is call flop and turn and fold river. Donks can be manipulated easily by bet sizing as well (if we make a boat in a spot where we expect barreling to be profitable, it's a lot easier to just bet 1/2 pot if we want to get called by his random mid pair or full pot if we want to get him to fold it). I'm not saying we WANT to be playing a lot of pots with marginal hands (idk man, T7o is like a top 75% hand or something, what kind of premium are you waiting for?!) preflop, and I'm certainly not saying that one of our advantages over the donks isn't preflop hand selection (it is), I'm simply saying there are tons of spots where I'm excited to be very wide vs weak players, just assuming that my cards don't matter and he'll tell me what his cards are at some point in the hand.
It's late and I only got about 10 minutes into the video before I decided I wanted to write up stuff I felt qualified to talk about and I'm headed to bed. I'm certainly not claiming dougie is the best player in the world or that this is his best video ever, but his thoughts are sound and will help anyone trying to beat 100NL.
so ae, you agree that if you were to be in that spot (which for you is quite different, you're an accomplished HU professional that is very comfortable against a 100nl player or even 1k player oop) you would still use small betsizes. The large betsizes are complete spew.
I cant really complain all that much because obviously leggo is all about you,chewy,theend harang and maybe someone i forgot which are the best videos makers since Btowsend went down the drain but i still cant help myself as a video maker for a non-english website to say that if i had made such a poor video, i would never consider posting it even for free. At least the TT hand, instead of talking about how once in a million year you'll win the massive pot on the river, talk about other lines that could be taken , talk about how you could induce from worst hand and savve yourself from his very possibly strong range etc.. too much level 1
I think Rewket is being a bit harsh but he makes valid points imo. In fairness, I have got something from all dougie's vids until this one. Too many bad assumptions were made on tiny samples in this and quite a few pf decisions that i don't think were justified.
I thought the whole point of putting out less vids per month was that the quality would increase. How is this possible if you or someone in the know are not watching them before publishing them? I presume this was just AE spin at the time to justify less output. It seems like there is no quality control and you just put out every vid you are sent. Am I wrong?
Not having a go at Leggo as I still think it's decent value. But there are still quite a few filler videos that don't meet the Leggo standard and still get released.
so ae, you agree that if you were to be in that spot (which for you is quite different, you're an accomplished HU professional that is very comfortable against a 100nl player or even 1k player oop) you would still use small betsizes. The large betsizes are complete spew.
I cant really complain all that much because obviously leggo is all about you,chewy,theend harang and maybe someone i forgot which are the best videos makers since Btowsend went down the drain but i still cant help myself as a video maker for a non-english website to say that if i had made such a poor video, i would never consider posting it even for free. At least the TT hand, instead of talking about how once in a million year you'll win the massive pot on the river, talk about other lines that could be taken , talk about how you could induce from worst hand and savve yourself from his very possibly strong range etc.. too much level 1
I don't think the large betsizes are complete spew, and I think they make us really tough to play against and are somewhat necessary for the big picture to widen our value range in a spot where we'll want to shove all of our FDs. Unfortunately, that doesn't really matter at all here given the circumstances. Probably a good thought misapplied to these stakes/games.
There is going to be a lot of level 1 in a 100NL Zoom vid. It's possible you are more of a midstakes player hoping for something a little more advanced and were disappointed compared to Dougie's other videos, idk. Either way glad you choose to post feedback, in the future starting with something like "I think you misplayed this for these reasons and I am disappoint" would make the feedback process a little easier, although I thought dougie handled the criticism well. Although I'm not sure if this fits the category, people are going to make great, good, marginal, and poor videos. Shit happens.
I think Rewket is being a bit harsh but he makes valid points imo. In fairness, I have got something from all dougie's vids until this one. Too many bad assumptions were made on tiny samples in this and quite a few pf decisions that i don't think were justified.
I thought the whole point of putting out less vids per month was that the quality would increase. How is this possible if you or someone in the know are not watching them before publishing them? I presume this was just AE spin at the time to justify less output. It seems like there is no quality control and you just put out every vid you are sent. Am I wrong?

It was a serious thing, you will see less of some guys and none of others since I put out that blog post, and you'll see more dual videos/guys in high demand/new producers (people drag their feet, be patient). A four part series with Chewy over the next 6 weeks.
I cannot watch every video that comes out (I take that back, I could, it just wouldn't be time efficient) and criticize guys for everything they do. I'd be wrong sometimes and they'd be right and there needs to be variety of opinion-- there are a ton of winning players doing things different ways, me coaching all of our coaches or filtering the videos would result in way too much uniformity. Also, like I already said (this is not BS), dougie is a guy that has gotten a lot of views on his videos and made a ton of good MSNL content in the past-- he was in "high demand" and someone who are confident in putting out good content.
