This is an absolute nightmare tonight it really is. I don't like 'rip into DML night'.

We're just trying to help. It's hard but fair.

I think that A-3 hands a bit harsh. You know what I was trying to do, its not my fault hes called with something EVEN worse at the end.

Eppyplay is incredibly loose, and been going all-in a lot. Its ahead of most of his range.

I have been raising him a lot, but why not let him try his little continuation bet again?

Because your hand is crap and you have no idea what he's holding? If he's as much of a spewmonkey as you describe you could easily be taking yourself to valuetown the way you played the hand. Play the idiots when the situation suits you, not them.

You may be right, but it felt like the right move then. I want to play when I feel comfortable to play the hand.

Not great. 3rd and 8th, and I played pretty badly tonight all in all. Can't believe I priced myself in with K-3.

I don't know how I'll ever prove to you guys I can play, every time you watch me I'm sh*t as anything, everytime you don't I play well. *sigh*

Plus, you guys crucifying on me has pretty much ended any chance of being staked properly, so thanks for that guys....

Shove pre if you're gonna play.

Video next time.

Just fiddle around with Camtasia when you're not actually playing so you know nothing will go wrong when you do play!

Thats the disaster hand of the night, I just said in my post. So dissappointed. But once I'd made the mistake, I had to call - I was getting an awful lot for my remaining moneys. Gah. Rubbish.

I recorded before hand. Absolutely fine. Did a play game. Real thing, and it f**ks up big time. Just don't think my laptop can handle it all going on at once...

I'm so dissappointed. I'm dissappointed everyone hates the way I play, dissappointed I didnt turn a little profit there for Rex, and dissappointed I couldnt get the video working. A couple of silly mistakes. I don't know why the online me and the real life me are like two different people. In real life I'm a regular challenger for titles and now Captain of my own team, online I get ripped to shreds by my mates. I don't know what it is.

A couple of things I've noted when I've watched you play:

- You overvalue hands and as a result overplay them and it costs you a lot in the long run.
- Online poker is very different to playing live. I don't think you've fully grasped this yet which is very important.

Sadly I really need to go to bed now otherwise I'd talk a bit more but I'm sure someone else (Sykes) will be able to carry on.

No. If you want honest criticism you have to be able to take it - we aren't trying to be mean - just honest. We are trying to help you by pointing out what we believe are errors. Surely the fact that we watched you play for almost an hour should show you that we want you to do well?

In short, forget about last night, it's a new day. Try your absolute hardest to get a video up and show us some good stuff!

Exactly this, the other thing to remember is that we can only see what you have been holding when it comes to a showdown which means these are the only hands that can be commented on until there is a video. There are a couple of videos on Youtube about reducing lag, not sure if it is computer or video lag but it might be worth a look. Also there is CamStudio as well but I haven't used it personally.

We all have bad sessions and you still made the money in one event so you aren't down by much at all. Hopefully your next session will go much better for you

Alright folks? I'm back pokering after a week in France and another week on top of that without internet. Still playing turbo 6-man Sit and Goes. Just played 3 of them - didn't place in the first, came 2nd in the next, and then won the last one. Bankroll is now at a respectable $60. The most pleasing thing for me is that when I get knocked out, I usually get my money in ahead. I've had lots of AKs vs. Ace Rag that I've lost. If I start winning more of these I should be able to take more tournaments down.

Only 45 more bonus points to clear my deposit bonus, too.

Hope everyone's still enjoying their poker

Good work sparky!

I just made a low stakes SNG video to hopefully show DML how tight I play and I couldn't find the older one I did. If anyone can find it please do post a link.

Anyway I came 9th, 8th, 5th and 5th. :lol:

Will upload later.
