I just sent out a broadcast email with a link to my first free poker video and while I’m proud that I finally pulled the trigger on it, I think I played pretty terrible in the video. Fortunately I chose to do the analysis post-mortem so I was able to point out what I did wrong and what I could have done better.
I learned something making the video. Forcing action is always a losing move. I only had one table up since this was my first video and I wanted to keep it simple, but I found that I was trying to make moves that I wouldn’t normally make just to make things more interesting. It usually didn’t work out.
Poker players have a reputation for being a prideful group that likes to brag about how much they make or what great moves they can pull off, but the best quality for a player to have is patience.
I’m not saying that you always have to wait for a big hand to enter the pot. I’m just saying that you have to wait for the right situation when you’re ready to make a move.
From now on I plan on keeping at least two tables open for my videos and maybe as many as four. That should be enough that I’ll always have an interesting situation come up or something different to talk about.
If you missed this broadcast, make sure you sign up now so you’ll get my next one. I’d be happy to hear your feedback or requests. My hope is that these videos help me improve my game as much as they help others improve theirs.
