What We're DoingCreating a series of concepts videos, short to medium in length, highlighting important and specific concepts essential to heads up sng success.What We NeedHands to review for some of these videos.How To SubmitSimply start your post in this thread with a bolded word for the video topic that the hand is for. Then paste the hand, unedited (you can replace your sn or opponent's sn with Hero or Villain) so that it will play back correctly in a replayer.Include any reads you have on the situation below or above each hand, as long as we can tell which hand the reads are for that is fine.Topics We Want- Multi street bluffs (readless)- Multi street bluffs vs LAGs- In position in a raised pot facing a donk bet (with or without reads)- Pocket Pair hands OOP postflop in raised pots- Pocket Pair hands in position, postflop, in raised potsIf you have additional topics you might want, suggest them in here and depending on the topic and progress among the topics above, I'll add them to this post. These videos are planned to start being made over the next two months. Order and # of videos is not yet determined.

Bumping this since we need some more hands. I'll end up combing this forum and 2p2 for some good example hands, or just make a few up if we don't get enough by early next week for the first video.But keep the hands coming, this thread will stay up for awhile since there are many topics that can be done here.

I don't know about others, but I'm having a very hard time coming up with "multistreet bluffing" examples. This is because I really don't know what situations are good for these and the hands that might be good situations are played out in a manner where it might be hard to illustrate the concept.But I'll keep on posting a few more hands that *might* qualify. You'll need to sort through them. Many feature Villain raising the flop, followed by both of us checking the turn, and sometimes me betting on the river, which may be a very bad line.

Such a great idea Rypac!Anyways, i have an idea for additional hands to include: Which "show down" hands warrant a check behind on the flop? PP OOP RAISED POT. Think i posted this hand on 2+2, thought it was interesting. Villian seemed pretty good for the 10's. Taggy. He was opening wide - like 70%+, cbetting often (80-90%), at first he was donking a lot but slowed down in this game. Didn't know this yet but usually his smallish river bets were for value. Anyways, call flop cause he's cbetting lots, donk turn cause theres a lot of draws he can check behind with (an i have some outs if he has a J), and decided to c/c river if it was decent to let him bluff missed draws. I can provide more reads if needed.PokerStars Game #52257384323: Tournament #328708212, $10.00+$0.50 USD Hold'em No Limit - Match Round I, Level I (10/20) - 2010/11/06 8:34:21 ETTable '328708212 1' 2-max Seat #1 is the buttonSeat 1: fergbustu (1470 in chips) Seat 2: tiddlers26 (1530 in chips) fergbustu: posts small blind 10tiddlers26: posts big blind 20*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to tiddlers26 [7h 7s]fergbustu: raises 20 to 40tiddlers26: calls 20*** FLOP *** [5s Jh 6c]tiddlers26: checks fergbustu: bets 40tiddlers26: calls 40*** TURN *** [5s Jh 6c] [3c]tiddlers26: bets 110fergbustu: calls 110*** RIVER *** [5s Jh 6c 3c] [Td]tiddlers26: checks fergbustu: bets 190tiddlers26: calls 190*** SHOW DOWN ***fergbustu: shows [5c Jc] (two pair, Jacks and Fives)tiddlers26: mucks hand fergbustu collected 760 from pot*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 760 | Rake 0 Board [5s Jh 6c 3c Td]Seat 1: fergbustu (button) (small blind) showed [5c Jc] and won (760) with two pair, Jacks and FivesSeat 2: tiddlers26 (big blind) mucked [7h 7s] 3BARREL BLUFF.
