Man, those 6$ regs owned you big time....:-p
If I may suggest something: since this was supposed to be a vid for 6$ players, I think you should've add 2 more games against 6$ regs since the first 2 matches were over quickly and didn't have many interesting spots and the third match doesn't count ;-) Unfortunately there weren't too many things to learn here. Except that against a pro I should value-overbet my A high on a board with busted draws :-p

Yea, I had intended the video to run a bit longer than it did, but it got cut short, and we got Mientjeuh in a match, so I figured it was a fitting place to end (about 26 min long). I will try to get in more matches in my next video though. Also even though I went 0-3 here, I wanted to say I felt I played pretty well in these, I feel good about how I played in all 3 matches, and the decisions I made, so to anybody watching it, dont let the 0-3 discourage the underlying thoughts =]
Looser Vogel says:
No doubt about that, I was kidding of course. ;-)
Looking forward to your next vids.

nice one - more spamz + primo plz + please make a video on the new ftp superturbo structure asap !!!

Hi,
maumau is right. The new FTP super Turbos seems pretty interesting with 500 stack and 10/20 Big Blind first Level.
Moreover is there the small Rake. I guess $50+1. You made a very good job with introducing the old version.
So can you please make a video from the new version.
Thanks

I'm sorry guys, I know its not what anybody wants to hear, but for my own personal reasons I wont be making a ST video on the new structure any time soon, I have videos out on 25/50+ play, I suggest you guys review those, and review your own play at those levels, and try to develop a strategy based off of that. It just is very financially unreasonable for me to make a video on these at this point in time, so sorry for that, you all know holding back is not something I ever do really, but you have all the information you need, just work on processing and applying it. GL all, if you have any other video requests, please just ask, ill do my best =]

We'll find somebody suitable to do a super turbo video soon guys.
Primo has put out a ton of valuable information here, so we won't fault him for not wanting to do a super turbo video, it's more than understandable.
Newff says:
I'm with Primo on this one...edges will be so small in these that making videos on them would be bad.
RyPac13 says:
Yet everybody played them before these changes that made them go from unprofitable to slightly profitable?
Either:
1) People were playing unprofitable super turbos before
2) People were playing profitable super turbos and now they are much more profitable
or
3) The changes made had no impact and the old ones that were slightly profitable are still slightly profitable

I do agree with Primo mostly, edges are thin and the faster people learn how to beat these the quicker those edges will disappear.
However, our site posting some super turbo videos is basically going to help low to mid stakes players beat these games, or at least give them a much better chance at doing so. We don't really have a stable of $500+ members just waiting to learn to play these, the people that play those levels either already know how to beat them or have some issues (ego, stubborness, etc) that won't let them listen to what we say (or other public information out there that will basically make you competitive in these) to get good enough at these games.
That being said, it still makes sense for Primo not to want to make a video about them. Strategy is going to vary from winner to winner in these, even if there is one best play in a lot of these spots. The reason why Primo would/should not want to make a video about these, even if it doesn't impact the high stakes games in general is because cheating a player in these is much easier to do than in deeper games. If somebody knew how Primo played in these, they could likely drastically alter their play and sit him as an unknown for awhile and beat him pretty badly. The same goes for other players.
So I think it will be fine to do a video for these, just not from somebody that is planning to play them a ton. Most of the time that would mean nobody could make a video on these, since anybody that knows how to kill them should be playing them. In our case, we are fortunate to have somebody that can probably beat these as well as just about anybody and has no interest in playing them.
We'll see about the video. If it's still in high demand in another week or two I'll try to make it happen. If the games are just going to fizzle out on their own in May, then it's not worth it to divert resources to these videos, especially when that resource is already working on the highly valuable board texture videos, among other things.

I rated this video only 2 Stars...OK. As I've said before, my ratings can be brutal.
This was a very strange series of opponents...two "retards" (not my quote!)followed by an excellent 2p2 player. The video was interesting, especially since the strong player was featured, but I did not feel that I learned anything, even though paying very close attention to all comments looking for hidden gems of wisdom.
