Haha, I just played this guy again today.
He was being aggressive in all the right spots for the board/my hand, so he was dominating early. Then he complained about me having AQ vs his Q9 8bb deep and winning.
He ended up winning in the 50/100 but I found it a little humorous, maybe it was a level but he said:
"No, was unlucky this hand" (referring to me shoving T8o 7bb or so deep and him calling with AJ, I flopped an 8 then he rivered a straight)
"They made it unlucky, you should have won the hand, then I sucked out. Always suck out with this site" and he went on the harass Stars after winning the game.
Anyways, at first I figured maybe he watched this video, it would explain the added aggression, but I think he's just an erratic player who I happened to catch in some nice spots in this video, and he happened to catch me in the opposite spots in our match today.
As nice as it would be to claim a glorious owning and edge on these people, the fact is most edges in turbo speed games after the mid stakes are going to be pretty low (nobody even wins at 60% on average, so maybe they get some real bad players they have almost a 70% edge on, but that's not too frequent), so variance is going to play a tremendous part in the games. The key is just to play what you're given as best as possible vs your specific opponent.
Anyways, just wanted to share that with you all, while I more or less ran this guy over in the video, he could claim the same in our rematch today. And while I would happily play him some more, there's nothing glorious "omg he sucks" coming from my mouth. Just a standard edge that I'm happy to take.

I liked it. Keep the aggressive videos coming :)

Thanks.
I think I spoke a little faster paced than usual, than I would have liked to in this video.
I was really trying to play most hands at more of a normal pace, rather than how I usually record (I stop to talk about things I see throughout).
I think I'll try to slow down my speech in the future, and to touch on main points as we're playing, but not to stop play to explain things. Then after the game I'll just review key hands or at the very least the more in depth stuff I didn't get to during the match.
If anybody has any additional ideas, I'm all ears, but that's my current plan.
