Watched video, here are my thoughts:
TL = top left, TR = top right, BL = bottom left, BR = bottom right
1:30 TR J3s - You checked the auto fold box, this is a mistake. Even though the majority of the time you should be folding, it is a decent hand to 3 bet versus a btn who opens a wide range. The fact that you had checked the auto fold box indicates that you aren't even considering all your options and may be suffering from some auto piloting.
1:46 TL J6s - Possible resteal opportunity against the btn minraise open
2:18 TL ATo - I probably check this flop, unless villain folds a ton to cbets in 3 bet pots. As played, it might be better to check the turn to induce a bluff on the river, or bet the river ourselves if villain checks turn and river. It's going to be hard to get value on all 3 streets unless villain called the flop with a worse Ax hand.
10:55 TL ATs - I'd check the 764 flop. Flop probably hit villain's range, and there really isn't any turn cards we can barrel.
18:05 TR - You can probably 3 bet smaller here. A raise to $2.25-$2.50, works just as well as a raise to $3.
23:10 BL 98o - Could cbet the JJ6 flop. Would barrel any spade, T or higher on the turn to get villain to fold 6x, 55, 44, random floats, etc
26:50 BL KQo - Not sure if squeezing here is the best play when the initial raiser's stack size is 40bbs. It's an awkward spot if villain decides to shove.
33:56 BR 66 - If villain plays passively on later streets, I think you can c/c the A82 rainbow flop and reevaluate the turn. If villain is aggressive on the turn and river, then c/f is standard but if villain has a very high cbet%, especially on A high flops, you should consider turning your hand into a bluff and check raising the flop.
43:15 TL K2s - I prefer to 3 bet the btn open.
46:14 TL JTo - See above
46:52 TL K7o - I think you can profitably open the btn with this hand with the two tight players in the blinds.
50:44 BR AJs - What was your plan if villain 4 bet?
Cliffs - Be careful of autopiloting. Consider all your options. Resteal more often in the blinds versus steal attempts.

ME: You can see a 4/4 guy in BB. Although I would never 3bet bluff this hand against people to my left as one of raisers is super tight PF and other one spewy that knows I 3bet 10% from blinds, that's like superprofitable steal with any 2 if it gets folded to me.

POOR 2: He'd squeeze (3b) PF.
ME: I agree that 3betting small pp in blinds is great and better than calling against regs, but I never thought about re-popping a reg that isolates a fish, isn't it better to just go ahead and play 3way with a fish (and we also get value from the reg at least some of the time postflop)?

10:55 TL ATs - I'd check the 764 flop. Flop probably hit villain's range, and there really isn't any turn cards we can barrel.
POOR2: Don't cbet.
River: (I said this is a c/f). A small bet might be interesting if we don't expect villain to ever bluff raise us.
ME:
Flop: Cbet is shit.
River : A lot of his range has pair+draw on turn and I don't expect a fish to bluff. If we bet small and we had more info and knew that he doesn't bluff I think a bet is decent

POOR2 would 3bet here to
1) realise our immediate equity
2) build image
3) not get squeezed by the 63/46/22% 3bet guy
ME: I never thought about it that way, the guy seems nitty, shouldn't I 3bet with a polarised range there?
Guess it will be different when the threat of the maniac cold calling is quite big and I can actually have a fluid range in that spot.
I actually wanted to backshove the 88+ if the maniac squeezes big and call if he makes it small enough
Is that plausible?

Poor2: would be inclined to just fold or 3bet PF because we will get squeezed so often?
ME:I dunno, I see mid PPs as decent value hands with which I can continue with postflop and not just pure setmining hand as I won't have 3 overcards all the time like with small ones, and I will overset 22-66, but unlike the 88 IP I don't feel comfortable to 3bet and get cold called by the maniac in this spot.

Villain folds to 80% 3bets and steals 40% OTB
POOR2: Says we can raise for 'thin' value and just take it down.
ME: Isn't that a bluff then :o? I feel like wasting the hand strenght and not getting called by worse enough, I will be happy to 3b him polarised range actually and rather keep his weak hands in by flatting.
POOR2: We can C/R here and just keep barrelling and get him off AX even, you get paid off when you hit and have more FE
ME: I didn't realise in the hand we have the nut fd for some reason and can actually raise call shove (I saw Kx so I snap acted (boo) assuming its just a normal fd) I agree that we have a monster actually and can just re-pop and make him fold a ton or jut hit.

Poor2: Dry board=> Cbet.
SCS: Could cbet here. Would barrel any spade, T or higher on the turn to get villain to fold 6x, 55, 44, random floats, etc
Me: I can't bluff any turns, he knows I'm aggro, calls tight range pre...
Yep, its still a dry board, so cbet. I try to find excuses for being a pussy for no reason...

SCS: 26:50 BL KQo - Not sure if squeezing here is the best play when the initial raiser's stack size is 40bbs. It's an awkward spot if villain decides to shove.
Poor2: Its better than Call
ME: I am not sure, what do I do if the midstack reg shoves?

If villain is aggressive on the turn and river, then c/f is standard but if villain has a very high cbet%, especially on A high flops, you should consider turning your hand into a bluff and check raising the flop.
POOR2: I'd just cbet as a thin bluff, the board is dry
Me: both got 40VPIP+ and I am oop, and expect them to call any gutter any pp there, and the better is not passive so c/c is out of the question.
Think SCS missread the hand (I was a PF raiser not him, and he has a fish behind him), still do you guys raise?

Poor2: Super passive fish, low FE=>just check.
Cant see why we cant check IP here, he will tell us what his hand is and he will rarely get us off A high with worse as he is so passive.

SCS: I prefer to 3 bet the btn open
POOR2: I'd call the river, we are beat a lot but we can get a read very cheaply. I also can c/r the flop with K,2+backdoor fd outs
ME: He doesn't fold to 3bets and is a station, 3bet bluffing makes little sense. Same with TJo, it makes no sense to 3bet polarised range here oop.
I have super small c/r percentage, and will try to experiment with c/ring and it should be a good spot here

Poor2 would just pitch it pre, and fold flop.
Yeah I agree, when my plan is to just play passively/weak postflop I should fold PF here (he does 2 barrel a lot), I should look to raise flop when he 3bets wide and cbets every flop

POOR2: Drawy board, BUT we have 2 overs, 2 backdoors and can barrel a lot of turns => Bet
Agreed
Actions to consider:
A1: Just don't click autofold, period.
A2: 3b small pp v regs blinds v steal. Maintain constant 3b frequency by calling more broadways (that can c/r or float more often postflop as tjey will have more outs)
A3: I can value bet very wide and just alter sizing on the river against people that are very unlikely to re-raise us, even if the river is 'scary'
A4: Read the board properly (duh)! There is not excuse when I 4 table to miss read boards!
A5: Don't be a vagina and stick to the basics. Dry board=> Just cbet they can't have much.
A6: C/R More. 5% is a 'little' bit nitty (and I float OOP too much)
A6: 3B Pot: when someone 3bets wide and cbets 100% of flops, thats a good spot to look to flat pre and raise his cbet (and see how he adjusts)
A7: Even on drawy boards, its good to cbet when we can continue on a lot of turn cards and have a lot of bluffing equity IP (E.G. backdoors+overs)
VID Making: Leave space for popups on the side, covering screen sucks (ty Poor2 ;D)
Notes: I should take my time to condense them, and on regs I play often I should generalise (calls wide PF to 3b), or even put 'instructions' to myself based on reads ('3b him wide value range oop).
Questions:
Q1: How often do you 3bet 77+ IP?
Q2: How often do you c/r mono boards against regs that have Kx or Ax on them? (blinds v BU standard ranges) and with what hands?
Q3: Is c/r 3way AXXr a good thing, and when would you do it (I guess we should get a lot of credit and people will bet wide?)

I have enough money coming in between various means to be able to cover my rent and expenses for the forseeable future, and as my life management skills and play continue to improve I expect to be able to pay it back eventually, although I can't really say when tbh because I mostly suck right now. I'll pay 2%/month. Thanks.

| Random first blog by iverson2k2k, January 05
Been a lurker here for a long time but never really did my own blog or anything. Thought I would post a blog and see where things progress.
I suck at poker. I've had varying degrees of success at micro stakes and I end up trying to move up in 10 25 and 25 50 cent, getting shattered and moving back down to 5 10 where I seem to do very well. Maybe it's a comfort thing. I've been a break even player for a while and recently I tried getting some more volume in and saw some increases in winnings. I'll definitely start posting some graphs in the upcoming weeks.
Anyway just wanted to get this blog started for myself.
P.S. I'm tired of paying for newsgroups and hate demonoid. If anyone can help me out with an invite to iptorrents or torrentleech what.cd that would be greatly appreciated. Out of principle I don't want to donate bucks to those sites to get a membership. Yes...principle lol.
P.P.S George Costanza amuses me

Omg you asshole. I seriously think I just vomited in my mouth a little. I'm 4-tabling away at work thethered to my cellphone, and you fucking barge into my office, asking if I read a stupid fucking email about using the wi-fi hotspot option on your cellphone. Are you fucking kidding me? "Lolz, I just read an article that says you can do this for free on t-mobile, omg you wanna talk about it?!?!" The problem is, I was about to face an allin spot, and knee deep in pots across 2 other tables. 3 tables with probably 200BB's worth of action going down. I keep task manager running so I can terminate the Full Tilt client and be staring at my desktop like "wut".

| yoyoyo lp it's 2011 ;p by morph1, January 04
Yoooo waaaasuuuupppp ;p
Here is a longtime poster/lurker/reader... and after few years I finaly decided to start my own blog. Idk how often it will be updated or what I'm gonna write about ... but I'm sure it would be a tone of poker,drunkstories,pictures,interesting stuff etc..
First I gotta say sorry for my not so great english... it's my 2nd or 3rd language ... hopefully it will improve more, also this is my first blog so forgive me if it sucks
Now to tell something about myself...
I'm 23 years old human resources student from Serbia (you probably have no idea where that is lol... Europe ). I'm low/mid stakes 6max grinder, I was a robot FR player for few years playing casualy, cashing out my wins... investing into all possible ways of fucking around. Started taking things seriously last year.. grinded, probably not enough... made money,cashout a tone, took few months off... got coached by 2 realy good coaches , improved my game, started grinding again, cashout a tone etc.. This year i decided to realy push myself into grind plaining to gring at least 40-50 hours a week.
This year didn't started as I expected.. curently running lika a horse shit
I decided to move my roll to PokerStars from FTP, I also decided to spend like 350 000 + ftps into cash bonuses... and this is how FTP rewards you for it 
all is nl100 rush poker 6max.. played good... had tone of setups,coolers, badbeats... you name it ;p
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/64b2c2b7322543ffb2a042b0cc71530c.jpg
So after having a very healty bankroll... few bigger cashouts, few bad runs ... I am here w/ very limited bankroll lol ... i'm probably gonna grind 4 tables of rush poker nl100/nl50 and try to release this bonuses and then move my roll to pokerstars or maybe some euro site ... i have a few days to think about this 
On a side note... just finished shootaa's "The Blue Book".. defenetly learned something from it, improved my way of thinking about poker... but it def. is overpriced...
Probably gonna watch The Eightfold Path to Poker Enlightenment by Tommy Angelo... just to take my thoughts of this bad run ;p
Anyway... Good luck everyone, let's crush this year 
Take care,
Dusan

| 2011s by DustySwedeDude, January 04
First I'd like to post some fun hands, and then I'll talk about my views on poker and my poker playing in 2011. Some fun hands so far;
The year started out like this:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/881726 - Dumb game that no limit. Let's go back to omaha.
At one point I was down like 10k. Then I started running like Dusty again.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/881853 - Pair of 4 is good!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/882163 - Fairly sick 2/4 pot. I stopped counting outs when I got to the straight outs and decided that "fuck his 65, I'm not good enough to play the river anyway". Then it bricked and I won and I was like "u mad?! :D"
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/881842 - This hand I'm not sure about, tbh I though I was dead on the turn when he calls me but I can't really give up on one of the best cards in the deck with those odds. The guy who folded seemed to pay of a lot too.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/882347 - Sometimes I want to be boss
So right now I'm up a little bit. Played like 12k hands so far this month, which is fairly good.
I have no given up my hopes of being some super high stakes balla. I've made smallish six figures two years in a row now but my swings have been huge. What it all comes down to is that I just can't compete with a lot of the really good 10/20+ players. There's a fairly good chance that a bunch of them are just a lot smarter then me. I thought I was smart until I started law school... Either way I just can't compete playing half time vs really smart people who dedicates their lives to poker.
I was super happy when I read on of the high stakes super volyme-people's blog and realised that my hourly was fairly close to his (but obviously I've been running better). I don't want to play 100k hands per month though. I want to be able to work out, put at least some effort into school and have a nice social life. I also want to put a lot of effort into managing my stock portfolio since it's been horribly ignored for to long and I want to get involved a lot with the Swedish Libertarian Party.
In 2011 I hope to make a decent profit and get a fair bit of hands in, but I'd very much prefer to keep the variance lower. I'm tired of swinging like a mad man all the time so this yea I'll make an effort to table select a little bit more and try to play more on mid stakes and have less 5/10+ HU battles with good regs. I'll also start coaching a bit. Only profit sharing deals though, and only people I feel might have some kind of talent and a personality I can stand.
I'll probably not be a euro millionaire before 25 anyway, so I might as well sit back and go with slow and steady instead of fast and chaotic. It'll probably be better for my mental health too.

| Gimme your opinion guys by player999, January 03
So, I'm renting a car with a friend. It's, say, $500 each for insurance. He doesn't wanna spend that much on it, but I don't wanna go around without insurance. But if we crash or something, we're obviosuly gonna split the cost. So I came up with this: I pay him the $500 that would be my half of the insurance to HIM, and we get no insurance, and if something happens, it's all on him.
Am I out of line, am I an asshole, is this fair enough, what do you think?
EDIT: so he doesn't want to get the insurance because he can't really afford it (tho he will get the money somehow if some crash happens), it's not like he simply doesn't want to pay it. Does it change your opinion?
