It was one of my goals for 2008 to make some videos for one of the major instructional sites, and it looks promising that I’ll soon do a series for a Poker Savvy Plus. After getting invited by Justin Rollo, who is one of their teachers and who’s known me from the 2+2 MTT forum for some time, I made a demo video this evening and spoke with one of the site’s owners for a while about our ideas for a three video series that would serve as a sort of introduction to mid-stakes NLHE 6-max cash games.
After making a video myself, I have a new appreciation for the people who do it regularly. It’s remarkably difficult to play poker, think, and talk coherently about your thinking all at the same time. Even playing just two tables, I couldn’t do it. I ended up recording the video of myself playing on four tables and then went back afterwards and added audio commentary. I’m very happy with the final result, but my voice is pretty tired from all that talking.
All in all, I’m excited to be working with the Poker Savvy folks. They’ve got some great people already on staff or as guest instructors who are both strong players and friends of mine, including Justin Rollo (Jurollo/WPTHero), Dani Stern (Ansky), and Tony Dunst (Bond18/muckthenuts). Oh and Mike Matusow. Although they’re one of the younger instructional sites, they’ve got an awesome stable and some promising ideas for new types of videos. I’m looking forward to being a part of it.
