Tried to run it, but my connction sucks right now. Getting an ADSL connection sometime next week, I hope.
Nice to see you posting vids though. I´ll try and download it later to watch, and make some nice comments, because it can´t be easy doing this for the first time IMO.

You did good, commentary that is. Its understandable that you will make mistakes on your first few goes as you are thinking about the actual commentary rather than the game. If I was you I would stick to the lowest games possible until you get comfortable commentating and playing, don't start playing hands just to speak, if people are going to learn they must understand that folding is the main part of the game. If you want to know what people want to hear, what you should be talking about during a hand watch a few PRO vids, they give real good advise, but some are much worse than you at talking, full of ermms and errs, muffled voices etc etc. If there is nothing to say say noting, or no action look over past hands and explain what was going on. Anyway Great effort.

Not bad for a first video. At some point you could tell that it wasnt too long since you have been up . A couple of times cause of your accent and the fact that i watched it in a laptop (low volume) couldnt understand what you were saying. But taking the video once more back did the trick. If the whole thing affects your game you should stop

great effort , always hard to talk and play at the same time if you are not used to it. looking forward to your cash game video. and maybe you can write up notes before video about things which you want to discuss in video

Nice vids, I know it's been said already, but it's super hard to give commentary while you're in the hand, already tried doing a few vids myself that way, just ended up rambling and repeating myself lol.

great vid ,i thought you did a great job with the commentary and explaining about your hands,the one question i would like to ask does a low hand beat a high hand as you seem to go for them a lot,that may seem like a dumb question but i dont know much about omaha and by watching your vid i found the game really interesting

a low hand doesnt beat a high hand in omaha high and low the pot is split into two, half for the high and half for the low, the reason i i go for the low hand is that its easyer to win more pots with say for example, ace 2 for the low is better than say ace king for the high your guaranteed to win if 3 cards lower than a nine come out on the flop with dont counter fit your hand ie a ace and a two, ace king or even a pair of kings is less likey to get you a return but still are playable hands, i hope this explains things
also i have done another video on omaha h/l check it out on here or you tube i will be doing many more

thanks dozn01 that cleared things up just going tocheck out your other vid now would you recommend playing a few play money omaha hands to get the feel of the game for a beginner or like play money holdem would it be full of donks going all in with nothing to lose and so giving the wrong impression of the game,dont want to play real money yet as id be a big fish in a small pond
@starbay yes indeed start at the play money just to get a feel of it, but like you said full of donk just going all in and over betting cause its play money, its not really how they play at the cash games, give it a go get build up your convidence, b4 going to cash game i wish you good luck, also note that the 1c /2c cash games can sometime play like play money, imo cause its so little money too

dozn01,i enjoyed your commentary,if it was perfect then its just another talk through vid!!don't think id have the bollocks to do a post like this but according to the Mrs i do commentary on every game i play you should probably stick to the lower tables until you get used to it but don't script it as it has a better vibe when your winging it,well done bud....

Congratulations dozn01, i enjoyed watching your video, and you showed very nice stuff, because omaha isnt just winning. You showed loosing hands, explaining that, although you knew your chances to win were few, you decided to get a look on your oponents cards. That's nice. I am not playing omaha for real money yet, but this is sure some material i will have atention too if i one day start playing it!
