[Closed] Beginners SnG analysis

Hi!!

You probably don't know me since I don't post in the forum so much but I try to read everything that gets posted about sngs or mtts.

I'm playing 11$ turbos at Party and 6,50$ turbos at Stars at the moment but I'm not doing so great. July was a realy good month for me I really felt that I'm beating the 11$ sngs and everything was going well but August is just pure poker disaster for me. Pretty much every session has been a losing one so far and I'm getting really frustrated because I don't think it is just a pure downswing. I'm pretty sure that I just started doing something wrong but I just can't figure out what it is.

I've never made a video before so it might take me a while before I learn how to do it but I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at it once it is done and tell me whether I'm making some major mistakes or basically just anything that would help me improve my game..

Thanks is advance,
Lubor

Yeah that would be great.

Just to let everyone know you can download camtasia for free. It will record your desktop as you play, and will record your sound also.

I'm not expecting high quality videos, just throw them together any old way.

Thx

Oh nice, I'd use a great help on SNGs since I'm just starting on them. Unfortunately I don't have a microphone yet, so I guess I'll buy one first

Yeah cool, the speaking over the video part isn't neccessary, but I would prefer it.

Cannell555,

Fantastic idea. Maybe after your comments, you can make these videos available for other beginners as well. Would be interesting, as we probably commit the same mistakes. I play $1 SNG and some long tourneys with small buy-ins.

Thanks in advance,

Thiago

Hi,

I'm not sure about making them available for all members to view. As pokerstrategy already has video's and such. I was just just thinking it would be alittle bit of private coaching for lower limit players. As private coaches are generally too dear, for beginners. I dont think people would like their common mistakes posted on the forums either.

But comeon guys, knowone has sent me any yet!!!

Yes download camtasia studio!!

Tommorow, more or less at the same time as now, I'll send you my first video. I'll record a 30/40 min video of me playing $1 SNG at Party.

What is your MSN?

Cheers,

Thiago

My msn is XXXXXX

Also you can play as many as you can fit on your screen. It will be more interesting and have more detail if it includes more than one sng. If people are only confortable with playing one or two that is fine also.

great! I'm playing 2$ 1table and MT SnGs, but I'm running in a circle
I cannot get profit - I lose almost as much as I win
something like that would be most helpful
so which program should I use?!?

Camtasia is probably the best option!

who did you lose the bet to, soy or tribun?

i might send you a video in a week or two, don't know ♦

I didn't loose a bet. I just thought this will be a good way for me to stay active while I'm not playing myself.

I have had alot of help along the way, so just thought i'd do my bit to help others.

Stiev.

Ok so I won't be able to buy a microphone so soon so if you don't mind I'll make a video without comentating. I'll write on notepad if I get a situation that it's really important to comment. Is that ok?

Yeah that would be great!

Ok then, I'll record many and see which is the best. Thanks

Just recieved LuborC's video, thx. The size is fine, I can read the writing. I will rerecord it tomorrow daytime and then send you an email with the link.

Thx!

I've just had a little chat with Chiller3k, about how inactive the forums seem to be.

So I have decided to add another section to this. I would like the people who have a video evaluated, to make an incentive for me to do it (just like in tribuns and soys staking threads, in the past).

This could be either: welcoming "X" amount of new comers to the forum, agreeing to post "X" amount of sample hands, answering "X" amount of questions on the forum, or just posting "X" amount of forum posts. Or your own incentive.

I will do it on a gentlemans agreement, and trust the people will complete their part of the deal. That way you wont have to wait for you video to be evaluated.

I dont expect the people who have already sent me a video to partake in this, however it would be nice if you did.

So for anyone that posts asking for me to evaluate their video, if you could include the incentive, that would be great!

Thx
Stiev

This is actually pretty good idea IMO. Also in the video I sent to you I got in some pretty weird postflop spots in the middle part of the tourney and didn't really know how to play them right..

So yes, I will start posting hands and saying hi to couple of newbies isn't a problem either..
