Hello friends, a little moment from the heart here from me. While looking through/editing these highlight reels for KZread I have realised that I don't play anywhere near as well as I can whilst streaming compared to while I do off stream. Some of the hands I've played/my articulated thought process are nowhere near as good/well thought out as when I'm off stream. I don't realise this while I'm streaming and playing, but it's evident when putting these videos together. I am, however, happy to continue to give up a bit of EV and stream/make content because I believe the EV in the long run of creating a successful KZread channel with 100k+ subs outweighs not check/raising enough in a SRP as the preflop caller. Feel free to critique anything you see on screen, just keep in mind I'm aware that I don't play my best on stream, and I'm okay with it. Oh and if you're not subbed then get the button clicked!

Not sure if this would be a good format, but have you considered a format where you record your session with no camera so you can focus (for youtube, not streaming). Then perhaps marking hands as you play that are fun and interesting (depending what you want to achieve). You could even go a different direction and even do fun stuff like compile hands vs a specific player and who bested who (kind of how you and Jehrico2 were battling back and forth, that was fun). Even just adding in post analysis, like how you're constructing your continue range could be a thing. Could also serve as a semi-study-self check session for yourself if you have to look stuff up or are unsure. The content could be more strategy focused, and your live content more fun focused, and you wouldn't be giving up EV, but I am not the youtube star, so idk what I am talking about. Keep it spazzy, Mr Gazzy.

@@PhonyBolognait’s a fantastic idea but it would be just too time consuming, and removes the bonus of streaming which is of course great for growth. In the future when I have more time, absolutely.

Gary, you’re my new favorite poker steamer/vlogger. Thanks for it all bro, it’s fish food for us micro/low crushers.

You mentioned you gotta go review the session. Should record one of those. I would be interested in what your session review and off table work looks like.

I put a lil solver segment in one of the recent highlight videos I did. You can find it at the end of the video

Funny as I play low stakes and crush I find myself routing for other players often when I’m in the pot all in lol 😅

Do you have schedule for your streams mate? Or at what hours do you usually stream?

Just kinda make it up as I go tbh, it’s usually around 6pm when it does happen though!

No idea how you can 4 table whilst streaming at these stakes… however I’m very happy to see it

The AQ 4 bet at 4:00 ish, what did Villain have?

Hi gazzy. Is online poker completely dead without a good rake back deal in your opinion?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! A good work ethic and a lot of study and anyone can make it. I genuinely believe that.

dtd streams a 10/25/50 game on fridays be great if you can get yourself an invite!
