I used to post these on the main page, but I wasn't aware of some downsides to that method. This is a sample video from a coach and I want to hear any member thoughts about this coach as a potential standard tier coach on the site. Constructive comments are appreciated please. This is a new feedback format, so we'll see how it goes.
This is the 12 minute part 1. There are two other parts as well. Feedback on any is appreciated.
What shall we judge about this video?His playing style?The way the video is made?I did not watch the whole video but it seemed to me, that he has not a lot of experience in makeing videos, yet. But that shall be fixed by experience. Still for this video it really is a problem. I usually try to figure out how a coach thinks in his first videos. Here we have spots where he explains great and then again there are spots where he seems to start saying something and thinks about it and then just moves on to the next hand. Comments like "opponent has T6, so" and "I raise" are not really of use to me, since I can get this information by watching the video without sound. What I wanna know tough is what his tought process is. This obv is not needed when the opponent openshoves the first hand all in and he holds AA but I wanna know what ranges he gives his opponents and how he does adjust when he does notice that he was wrong etc. pp.Also he speaks a little fast for my taste. I understand english pretty well, but for less english-educated person the speed might be a problem.
Hi.
Thanks, that is exactly the type of feedback I'm looking for.My preferences and tastes are not always reflective of the collective membership or community, so while I make a lot of decisions related to videos and new instructors, it's a big bonus to get member feedback and insight when I can (and I have setup some back channels to help me do that privately regularly).
There was a positive comment else ware, combined with solid stats, we're going to give this player a chance to do a standard membership tier hyper turbo video.Your comments were helpful barrin, and I'm sending them to the coach so he can take them into consideration as well. Thanks again.
You are welcome Ryan. Ironically.....like as 2 hours after my post, my membership expired, so I could not read your reply until today :D
Hi.
The coach actually mentioned specifically thanks to your comments as well just the other day. We should see a standard tier hyper turbo video from him this month.
All right. Gald to hear that. ;)
Hi.
The new video referenced above has been completed and will go up in the next 5 days (standard tier, hyper turbo video). Do your best to comment on the video when it goes up please, so that we know how members feel.
Done.Did you let go of him as a coach or is there another reason why he is not hotlinked in the Video list?
Hi.
His first video, like a lot of guys historically, was put in the guest section, since we didn't know if he would want to make more or what members would think.We have another video planned, so if/when that happens we'll put it in a category for him.
