A birthday gift from me to you
I found this pretty sweet etch-a-sketch image to the left here. Summed up the point of this blog post pretty well!Today is my birfday. I'm the big 2-6, which is practically ancient in today's online poker world where your latest high stakes pro is rounding out their teenage years.
So for my birfday, I decided I would give you guys a gift from me in the form of a video of me playing and commentating a 4 table session of 2/4nl on pokerstars.
You can download and watch it here. (right-click, save as)
I might spend a few minutes later getting it so the video is embeded into the browser, but i figure most others will find a way to circumvent it anyway and download it to their PC, so whatever.
So as I mentioned at the end of my video, I'm going to start offering some personal poker coaching services. I plan on charging between $100-$200 per hour and I'm willing to coach anything up to 3/6nl. I'll have to talk with them, but it's possible I'll be joining the 3-bet.net crew, which if you're not interested in having me as a coach, you should definitely contact them as they have multiple very qualified people.
I had a coaching session with a friend of mine this week where we spent several hours of him watching me play and me watching him play and just general discussion. I think it was mutually beneficial as it allows me to fully process concepts to verbalize them as well as forcing me to articulate the "why's" that are often just brushed off as "gut instinct". I'm pretty sure he found it useful to learn a few tricks and considerations that he hadn't yet implemented.
Also since I'm not programming these days, I'll have some extra time during the day to take a student or two under my wing.
Anyone else love these career builder commercials with the chimps? They're funny because they're true... wow office life is annoying.
Enough about the chimps...either contact 3-bet.net or contact me directly if you're interested in having a poker coach. I can provide references of people I have coached and I'm certain that they would recommend me. If you want more information on my coaching or 3-bet.net feel free to email me or post a comment here.
Let me know what you think of the video and if there are any hands you disagree with.
Good luck,
Aaron

that fourth spade came on your set of 7's and just thought he had the K or A of spades...nh sir
44 minutes in you pop to 69 with KK and action in front..I like the raise to around 45-50 range to keep someone around
couple seconds later you flop boat, hand just shows you the power of position, akward spot but I think I check the turn
absolutely love your turn raise amount 50 minutes in with T8
JJ 51:56 on table 4, I was hoping you would value bet the river..I haven't heard the results but I put him on mid pair (I was wrong had 78)
if you wanna coach me, let me know, I would give you a midwest discount and only charge you $75/hour
good video overall, hope you are crushing which I'm sure you are

Lou, the reason i lead the turn on the flopped boat hand is because it's going to get checked through like always when they are drawing, and when they aren't drawing and do have an 8, i might get raised. I bet like 1/2 pot - enough to entice a draw to stick around and make the pot bigger on the end if they hit (and i can get more $ out of them)
I basically raised pot on the KK hand, maybe a bit extra because i was oop. Perhaps I could have gotten away with a smaller raise but if i was squeezing with air I probably would have made about the same bet size.
later,
WoT
