Finally did a video review

Had been meaning to try a video review out for a while with Jared, but I kept putting off installing Camtasia.  I recorded a session last weekend in which I felt totally unconfident while playing.  I started the recording just after stacking off KK  in a pretty reasonable spot, although it was like 4 hands into the session, and I hate when they start like that.   Then, right at the beginning of the video I made two mistakes, one pretty minor and one kind of bad, and I was thinking about Jared seeing those hands.  It was weird, knowing that someone would be watching the vid, I was actually a little nervous, even though Jared has definitely seen me play at my worst.

I broke even during the video (about an hour), and like I said, I felt a little lost, so I thought it would be pretty instructive, and we would maybe not even have time to finish it, as we would have to stop and dissect.  But as it turns out, I played better than I thought.  Not to say perfect, but pretty well.  I did particularly well, in his opinion anyway, varying my bet sizes well postflop (although not so much preflop).  That was good, because it's something we've been working on.  The biggest mistakes I made after the beginning both happened with AK.  In one hand, I got all in vs a TAG who was in early position.  I forget the action, but AK isn't going to fare that well against a TAG's UTG range.  This time he also had AK and we split.   Another time, I cold-called in the CO vs a 15/12's UTG open, and the flop was Kxx.  He bet, I called.  Turn was a 7.  He bet, I called.  So far, so good.  River was another middle card and it put 4 to a straight on there.  He bet, I called.  This is the mistake of the hand.  When a nit 3-barrels on a scary board, he's going to have TP beat.

Not too much free time today.  Wife is decorating a birthday present for our niece, then it'll be lunch and off to sports.  First I'm heading down to the baseball diamond to pick up equipment for this year's little league team and for the president of the league to give all the managers and coaches a pep talk/thank you for coaching, etc.  Then it's off to the gym to coach a couple basketball games.  The fun never stops :).
