Seat @ UKIPT Coventry

Not much to report on the poker front at all. Made a FT in a 1000+ field only to be coolered with KJ on a KJ8 board Vs 88. And busted deep in endless tourneys after getting it in 60%+ on the flop soo many times.

However a decent result worth a mention is that I've just got a seat in the £550 UKIPT event in Coventry. It'll be my first live event since UKIPT Galway and I already have time booked off work as I'm off on holiday the week before (flying back during Day 1a, so need to get registered for Day 1b).

I've also booked 10 days in Vegas during the first week of the WSOP. I'll be playing the first $1k event and maybe the $1.5k NLHE during the week. Also going to be watching UFC 114 at the MGM Grand as well as checking on the UFC Fan Expo at the Mandalay Bay Event Centre. Going to be staying at the Flamingo for 2 nights then staying at Dan Carters Baller house (which hes renting for 9 weeks during the WSOP) for the remainder of my stay...

My First Poker Tutorial Video

(part 1 below, parts 2, 3 and 4 can be located from my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/FezioJnr)



I've finally finished my first poker tutorial video. Basically walking through a recent MTT win showing various hands and discussing them. Its broken down into 4 10min parts.

I'm looking for feedback both positive and negative as I want to make my next one a lot lot better.

The general consensus at the moment seems to be a good video overall however my voice is slightly monotone (i tried to speak clear and slow lol, but obviously over did it). Also people say they would like to see a varied selection of hands, i.e. hands I opt to fold, big lay downs I had to make, and so on.

I made the video for 2 reasons, firstly to help out those looking to get into the game, and gain a general understanding for various plays in poker. Secondly I made it so I could learn a lot more about my game, listening to what people have to say, how they would play certain hands differently, why they didn't like my plays etc...

So take a look if you have a minute or forty lol and I look forward to hearing your feedback. Don't be shy :D if you think its sh*t just say so :D along with some decent criticism I can implement into the next video.

Cheers guys
