So at about 9pm last night I received the rough edit of the first video for the series, the video I was most worried about. I didnt feel like I was near 100% at the time of recording and I didn't feel like we had enough substance. It was a huge file so it took forever to download. So after 2 hours waiting, I finally was able to get to it. After about 25 minutes in, I came to the conclusion that it sucked.
Yep, sucked and I have no problem saying it. I didn't want it released and forwarded that along immediately. Aside from the fact that I was bumbling and my nervous uhm's were replaced with nervous basically's, which I must've said >50 times, it just lacked substance. It was boring. Chuck did a great job of soliciting questions or discussion, I did a horrible job of responding.
I immediately wanted EP 2 released as Ep 1, as I think 2 is a lot better. Being a live play vid, it allows for more concrete or direct discussion of specific hands in specific situations. I'm a bit frustrated about it as well. I'd really wanted a chance to preview it ahead of time because of these fears and if necessary a chance to correct/redo/whatever, I don't end up getting that chance and then it ends up turning out like it did. So really my biggest fears came true and my first release was way sub par, almost embarrassing.
So, to those that were really looking forward to it, I'm sorry.

Ohh yeah
My favorite show when I was a kid, or at least one of many.
Had a pretty good run from Christmas through the first few days of January, then ran into a brick wall for the past week. I got a ton of hands in(for me at least) and somehow only was down 1 buyin given that I ran into everything possible on a daily basis. Coolers and runner runners were the norm, which was compounded by the fact that the majority of it was against the biggest fish I'd seen playing in a while. I'm talking like vpip in the 90's with showdowns >40. Ugh. It did seem to start to turn yesterday though as I picked up a buyin in the afternoon and another 4 last night, along with another 1.5 in a few hundred hands today. At times I could feel tilt setting in, so I'm glad it finally turned.
I'm excited and super stressed as the video series on DeucesCracked is premiering this week. I recorded 2 episodes already with Danzasmack, one intro and a session review for FR PLO8. I'm stressed for a few reasons though. I've yet to hear it is one, so I have no idea how the 1st ep turned out. I was a bit under the weather, so my memories of EP 1 are hazy, meaning I may have been hazy or mumbling or rambling or... Krantz description on DC added a ton of pressure, Quote-

In a Nutshell
In 2009, DC ran it’s first ever member videos contest – the INSOMNIA training video festival. The winner was an incredible PL/NLO8 video from yeahthatsme. It was so mindbendingly awesome that we knew we had to work with Derek to make it into a series. Many sleepless months later (after hours and hours of thought, planning and work and collaboration with DC co-founder Chuck “danzasmack” Danielsson) and that series is ready to roll. We can’t really say much more than every single person we’ve told about this, including our high stakes coaches and friends, want to watch this insanely comprehensive guide to playing and crushing PL/NLO8. It’s a rare pleasure to see something this good come from one of our own. It’s your site, we really do just work here.
How the hell am I supposed to live up to that?!! Gaaahhhh.
I must say though, aside from the communication aspect, working with Chuck and DC has been great. Helpful, friendly, patient and supportive just begin to describe it. So check it out. If you don't have a DC membership and actually play poker and aren't a midstakes+ reg., then you are failing. A dollar a day is nothing compared to the growth your bankroll can achieve.
And I've got to stop doing crap like this:
