(8) $25 No Limit Hold'em HU sngs on CakePoker
Submitted by Marco on Sat, 07/18/2009 - 07:00In this video, I play two $25 HU sngs on CakePoker for 25 minutes. I had already been playing the first one for more than five minutes before the video started, and I was down to about 800 chips compared to my opponent's 2200. I played cautiously but aggressively when I saw opportunities, and I managed to chip back up and take it down.

Submitted by Marco on Tue, 07/14/2009 - 17:45In this video, I play three 6-max cash games on FullTilt for 40 minutes. I pretty much broke even for this session, and I didn't get to play many big pots, but this is what grinding is all about.

(6) $50 No Limit Hold'em HU sngs on CakePoker
Submitted by Marco on Sat, 07/11/2009 - 07:00In this video, I play two $50 HU sngs on CakePoker for about 35 minutes. In one of the games, I played against an impatient opponent, who in the end, made a big mistake in giving me a 70%-30% shot at taking a huge lead in the sng when he over-shoved A5 against my JJ. I lost. In the other game, I played carefully until the end, when the blinds became too big not to be very aggressive, and I took it down.

(5) $1/$2 Short Handed No Limit Hold'em Cash games
Submitted by Marco on Thu, 07/09/2009 - 07:00In this video, I play three $1/$2 short handed NL cash games for 45 minutes. Near the end of the video, I got to play pocket tens twice against a re-raise preflop; won the first time, lost the second time. Hands like pocket nines, pocket tens, and pocket jacks are always tough to play preflop against an aggressive opponent. But they make for very interesting situations and discussions. What's more, I made a pretty good lay down near the end, again, with top pair against two opponents. It turns out that my read was accurate, and that I was pretty much running dead. It always feels good not to pay your opponents off when they have a good hand.

Submitted by Marco on Mon, 06/02/2008 - 07:23In this video, I play two 10c/25c short handed cash games on Fulltilt for about 30 minutes. I really had a good run of cards, and ran pretty good, so over all, it was an easy session. I didn't get much resistance from my opponents.

(1) Final Table of UB's $30 Rebuy Tournament
Submitted by Marco on Sat, 02/23/2008 - 09:08In this video, I play in the UB 30$ rebuy tournament. I ended up taking 4th for 1677$. I was watching it again, and I think I made a crucial mistake near the end with AA. We're down to four, and I raise with AA preflop. My opponent on the big blind re-raised, and I shoved over him. Looking back on it, what I should have done is to smooth call him, and let him bet into me on the flop, since I had position.
