My video, my setup has changed abit and I am stacking in this one which is how I usually play but I would like some feedback on not only my play but the way the video is recorded, sound and if stacking was a bad idea for the movie

Make sure you have a room with padded walls, with no windows, no sharp objects, and no shoe laces.... Coz I guarantee you will want to kill yourself!
 
sup guys. I got $5 from intellipoker and had been playing strictly DoN tournies and a couple regular sngs. Got it all the way up to 18.80. Everything changed and i was taking beats left and right, leaving me with only about $1 left! I decided to start playing limit poker and got it up to about $2 then sold my play chips for $4. So i'm up to 6.70

My question to you all is: should I start playing NL or stay at limit for a while longer till i up my BR more?

Definitely either $1 Sit n gos, or stick to limit. NL will be way to swingy with that small of a BR. I'd lean towards $1 Sit n go's if it were me, but then again I HATE limit. GL!

SNG's are swingier than most games tbh. And limit you will probably end up killing yourself as well.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter which games you play, LHE, SNG's, MTTS, NLHE. What you need to practice is BRM. Assuming your a winning player, with a sound BRM strategy, you should never go broke. You have made things more difficult for yourself as you have to start from scratch again almost. If you could make a decent deposit, then I would advise that and start from there. If not then make sure you have at least 20 buy ins for the limit your playing, or 200-300BB at LHE.

If you haven't got the above buy ins available, then try to deposit, otherswise your just not letting variance have enough time to equal itself out.
 
Second what Jagsti says about sngs, they can and will drive you crazy but still can be a ok BR starter.

Ok so this cash game thing lol, I got up to 27$ and basically threw a couple of buy-ins away yesterday. Just had my first flip I raised someones raise then got put all in so called and so did two others so was a four way pot with my KK against AQ KQ and JJ with a jack coming on the flop, losing the flip didnt worry me because I thought I made the right move.

Things I have learnt so far-

Its nearly always right to bet for value when you have a great hand.

People play almost anything.

I am a butt pirate (my tilt avatar is a pirate so some one called me it when taking 30 cents of me lol, but got all his stack 6 or so hands later yay!!)

So at 21 dollars no profit but much learnings.

54% vs 23% vs 2% vs 18% is hardly a flip 🙂.
You got sucked out on 😛

I used to have a membership there, dropped it when my roommate stole my monies lol. probably gonna get it back soon.

They have TONS of videos for NLHE, a couple series that come to mind are the +EVolution of a poker player which is a great all around series. Not sure on the other names but ill look around some to check.

Another thing i love is no DRM so i can put it on my laptop and watch whenever i dont have internet access or I can put them on my ipod.

Plus they have a new series called PLO Dojo to introduce PLO to people, my subscription ran out before i downloaded that one tho.

54% vs. 3 villains sounds pretty much like a flip to me. But a good one.
 
RogueRivered said:
Yeah, tripling up is good too. 🙂

So I'd take that flip.

lol maybe next time huh?

Ok so got stacked by ze river was gonna leave table but got back and made my stack back because I realised the villian was an atm.

Just got a set beat by a boat so br going dowwwwwwn, but is all good I learn more with each game is actually good fun!!

Lol, I've been known to pay for a lesson, in other words, call on the river just to learn what I was up against and what I should have done. Sometimes the money is worth the lesson not to fold.

In this case I was ahead with two pair A and Q until the jack hit the river but making back the buy-in was fun!! Probally going to lose this roll the rate I am going lol but its a good learning curve, I noticed load of people make their money via straights and flushes so have to try playing some different hands see how I do.
 
haha yeah jurn I hear ya. Been running so bad the last few days at Full ring, I switched over to 6 man sit n go's for a bit. Often thought clearing a bonus and or getting a reload bonus = death.😱 You'll pull out of it, your a solid player! Keep grinding 🙂
