Looks great! Including the equities on screen is a nice improvement.

My only suggestion would be to lower the volume on the sound effects.

Keep up the great work!

tyty!

I l

@Poker Zombie what do you think? I made an effort to add animated bets and cards moving, plus various sound effects to give it a more tactile feel for the viewer.


It's a little cumbersome, took me roughly an hour to compile this short clip. But I was also figuring out and downloading sound effects and such as I went, so it should flow smoother now that I've got those chip and card sounds figured out for future hands.

I loved it!

I'm just not good at phone texting - I'm all old-school computers

I'd get rid of the chip splashing noise, as it may get tiring and repetitive after hearing ir a few times. That's just me though.

I feel like without it the video loses some of the "punch" that draws attention to bets, but maybe others feel like you do?

that was actually my first thought as well.

that said, i also think the way you currently have it is fine, and if it's going to take you all that time to animate it, it ain't worth the trouble.

i am enjoying the content, keep at it!

The noise or lack of punch if silent?

sorry, the noise. i agree with @SixSpeedFury that it's repetitive. but i am also someone who turns off all sound effects when playing online, so take that as you will.

Vlog #20 is out. I also showcase another vlogger Slow Poker who is very funny

Looks like a PLO livestream in progress. I actually know the guy nicknamed Keanu

Action junkie who'd play in Tampa.

I would definetly be down to play or commentate future PLO streams

If the hand at 3:15:25 is any indication of the PLO at The Lodge, I'm going to make a mint!

I have a tough time with the live stream commentary though. When the guy said "Detroit-style pizza wasn't a thing", I wanted to slam him with a Buddy's deep-dish pan.

Sure, the term "Detroit-style" wasn't a thing, it was just Buddy's. It wasn't until they started getting copied outside the area that the term was coined.

I do agree that Pizza Rock is the best pizza in Vegas though.

Wait, where cards being played? I was caught up on pizza.

You're gonna owe Skull Mike a sandwich if this keeps up!

Just got the remaining pieces for my PC setup here in Austin:

Played my first session of PLO at The Lodge yesterday. Saw multiple instances of straddles to 10, 20, etc. We even had some pots hit 40, 80 and one that was at 160 preflop.

Overall it was a Monday afternoon into evening though, so the game wasn't as crazy as I was hoping. Still, a decent amount of passive calling stations which are my favorite, and $15 double board bomb pots every round.

My first table sucked and I got a table change pretty quick fortunately. 2nd table was more lively and fun, plus looser. Now I just gotta go through all my footage and put a vlog together.

 

[honkydevil]

Lol $160 straddle on the $1/2 PLO?

Can’t wait to see some vlogs!

It's 1/2 with $5 bring-in. Straddles must start UTG and go in order, so you can't restraddle from any position

UTG would straddle to 10, UTG+1 would do the 20 and so forth

We need an update!

How do you like their chips??

 

[Anthony Martino]

How do you like their chips??

They're ceramics so not a fan, prefer clay. At least the colors stand out in pots

 

[Anthony Martino]

WHEEEE!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Bought 2k in chips, put 1k into play. Ran pure, dodged bad rivers while getting max value on previous streets

Cashed out $7,451. My biggest win EVAR!!

Told ya this was a good move for you Anthony. These games are total action. Pendulum can swing the other way too though of course. Droolers get there sometimes too.

Welcome to Texas, brother!

I mean, I had a dble board bomb pot where me and another guy flopped and held nuts on one board, and both rivered trip Jacks on 2nd board. I had Ace kicker, he had K, so he got quartered in a cooler

I got freerolled and could've lost 2k in another hand but chopped

Also flopped nut straight next to last hand of session against guy with set plus gutshot

He called off 2/3 of his stack on turn trying to run me down

It could have easily gone bad if the chasers got there for sure

Welcome to Texas.

Edit: Damn, @toothpic beat me to the punch.

I like ceramics to begin with. But I am really starting to like these in the quantities you are starting to acquire.

Alright, I just finished editing my first hand of live PLO. Before I dive into doing all the other hands from my first session, wanted to get some feedback (this link is unlisted so only viewable to those who I've shared it with)

The action is easier to follow on the electronic site.

I know its a ton of effort, but is there some way to show position correlated with a bet or stack.

The electronic version you could see pot totals, and which helped with understanding the action. So if you had an SPR < 1 or close it made it understandable when you called with 10s on the turn. I mean its a sucky spot but at least I understood your donk moves. (jk)
