loltrickedu made his first video for PokerTrikz and it just got uploaded. I hope everyone enjoys it and leave comments for him. He wants to keep making vids so please leave constructive criticism so he can improve his future videos.

He plays a lot of spots similar to me, so you should be able to see a lot of similar plays, though he does a lot more raising to find out where he is, which I don't agree with, but that shows you there is more than 1 style of winning poker.

Good stuff. Just finished watching the video. Just like with Trikkur's vids I learned a few new things by the end of it. Its amazing how something so easy and straightforward to the higher stakes players can be so oblivious to microstakes players like myself. Only constructive criticism I can think of is use a bit more enthusiasm when taping and get some sleep before hand You seemed to be yawning a lot. Also a bit more in depth thought process of the decisions you made would be cool, but it was still there nonetheless. All in all though it was pretty decent. It kept my attention thoroughly throughout, and there wasn't many empty spots where the viewer just sat there and watched you click, so that was nice.

I'm definitely looking forward to more from loltrappedu. Thanks a lot for making the video, it's nice to see I now have another source for instructional video to look forward to.

Thanks a lot!

Pretty good video, I like his style and comments. Personally I would like to hear his opinion and experience about downswings, how to treat regulars (when can't table select), session length and how to keep the concentration (esp. at 6+ tables).

I'd also like to say that I enjoyed this (watched almost all of it this morning, dloading the rest now). I believe that cake now has resizeable tables and I'm guessing this was made prior to that given the overlapping tables. That is one thing that really bugs me for some reason, but understandable. The yawning part was also a negative but able to overlook it for the big picture of what you were accomplishing. I think the overall play was good and was nice to see how you adjusted to the guy that kept 3 betting you w/ position. I'm hoping you do some sort of session review at the end of it, and if you don't, I'd recommend that for future vids.

Watched the video this morning - thanks for making it. Its definitely nice to see a slightly different style to be able to compare and contrast and see what fits best into your individual style of play. Could you provide a little bit of background on what your normal limits are, how long you have been playing, etc so we can get a feel for your background? Keep up the good work.

I really like the video and like the idea of a mass multitabling video, because it would present many more spots that you think are standard or routine, but that we may not have down yet.

BTW, your nick seems very familiar from FTP and the Cake network, but you obviously play higher stakes than I do. Maybe just a familiar theme for screen names.

Thumbs up Nice first Video!

Its very nice to see some other vidz and playing styles now. I'm really looking forward for the time Trikkur will post 5 new vidz per day.

Good job on this one! Despite the yawning which I still find someway funny, it was a decent session, some interesting spots appeared and you slayed some donkeys, which is always nice to see.

Some things I'd like to ask:
1. 12.10 or so you openlimped K8o (?) from SB. Can you give some explanation why you do such a play (which I think is quite weak compared to a simple raise). Where u just busy talking or is there a deeper kind of thought? Do you generally openlimp in special occasions?

2. On the other hand you once checked the BB to an openlimp from SB w/ J8o, which is a decent hand to punish limpers BoB I guess. I know from many players (Trikkur too) that they like to punish such plays w/ almost any 2. Do you have a special opinion concerning that "punish"-concept?


Once again, good video! I really, really hope to see some more soon.

I would first like to apologize to everyone for the yawning it was 2am but that will not happen again. In regards to the k8, its funny you bring that up but because trikur ridiculed me for the same thing. It is probably a bad play but here is my attempt at justification:

1. Mix up my play
2. Im ahead of a random hand with k8, however if i raise and get called i dont want to play the hand out of position.
3. I can extract some value out of either top pair.

On the J8 similar thoughts.

Please give me the time in the video if you have a question so i can go back and review, i will, but if you don't im not going to watch the whole thing again so please ask questions and give me the time in the video. thankyou

Maybe thinking of loltrappedu. This is one of Spenda's aliases; don't think he plays on cake network though. I've only seen his videos on PS and FTP
