I watched it both with windows media player and VLC player and didn't hear any major audio issues or any changes from beginning to middle to end, which is strange. Another coach also just watched it and didn't notice anything like that either (and I specifically asked bc of the last two comments).
What program are you guys using to watch this? If anybody else has audio feedback please post it so that we can get to the bottom of this. Thanks.
Marzipannase says:
VLC player, but it was not that bad, you could easily hear everything fine, just some strange noises in the background.

Apologize for the poor audio, I thought I cleaned it up. This was recorded while there was a small thunder storm going on outside, so maybe that's the horse in the room type sound lol. Regardless I'll try and clean this sort of thing up in my next video, hope you enjoyed the content at least.

If anyone has any questions about particular hands let me know

As RyPac pointed out, watched in Windows Media Player with absolutely zero audio problems. Perhaps it's the VLC player itself? I watched the vid twice just to make sure I hadn't missed something.
Also Maxv2. Very nice Sharkscope stats bro! I had one question though, SS has you pegged for 569 games overall with your first day of playing on July 25th this year: why is your volume so low? Is this due to the games not filling up or something entirely different? Thanks and welcome, I hope to see more vids from you in the future!

It's been sort of a combination of motivation as well as games filling slowly. When I'd play sessions on stars, I'd attempt to play 30 games daily. That generally took about 3 hours. On merge I only average only about 5 games/hour, and the lack of action takes a toll on my motivation. It's definitely something I'd like to improve on. There are times when it'll run quick, but it's during peak hours and doesn't last very long unfortunately. So lately I've been working on different projects like designing my blog @ maxv2poker.com and have started making videos and seeking out students. Diversifying is something I've always wanted to do, but never really took the time to explore.

Oh also I just remembered I start on Merge on Carbon Poker under maxv21 :). Little more volume there!

I didn't noice anything myself with the audio seemed fine, nice video man
There were a few hands I didn't really get
T7o at 3:15 is it not better to stb this turn after he checks back on a dry board because we have no shodwon equity?
K6o 12:20 how comes you don't barrel the Q on the turn is this not quite a ood scare card that will get him folding most of his 5's and 8's?
KJs at 22:40 why don't you raise the pre? he likely calling wide so this will be well ahead of his range and it flops well? I would have thought that would be more +EV then limping?
