    I didn't really like this video, and myself not liking when people just say that, I will explain why. First off, it was really difficult to hear your student, he has a really thick accent and it was difficult to understand him a lot. He also seemed to not really know what he was talking about and contradicted himself a lot. Now I don't mean to insult, because I would probably do the same thing if I was going to be in a video for thousands of people to view, but he was really tripping over his words and doing a lot of umms, and was also really unsure of himself. I would imagine this is because he more or less forgot his thought process and was trying to remember it as the video progressed, which ended in a lot of mixed thoughts. If you are going to do more student-coaching videos in the future, I would really recommend some more prep work, or with a more recent session, or someone that has a very clear thought process in their hands. Again, this is meant to be constructive criticism, and I am sorry for being so blunt, but the quality of this video compared to your others is lacking. I think student-coaching videos are a good idea, especially if you can't play right now, but It would be nice if they were more smooth. So over-all I think more prep-work, and maybe try to speak a bit more clearly. Also, team viewer would obviously be really nice for doing these, as opposed to your student trying to anticipate you pausing for the video, but again just another thing more prep work could have helped with. As far as the actual content went, it was good, and I always learn things from your videos. I like the reasoning you give behind your decisions, and when you say it like you do it makes the choices become quite clear and why or why not they are good. It helps going over a students session because you can explain why things are bad, and I always feel like I learn more that way. So, as far as the actual video goes, it needs a bit of work, but the general idea is very good, and I hope to see more.

    Hey guys, jimbo, you are correct, i did get confused alot of time and lost track of my thought proccess. Neil also has something to do with that, as said in the video, he forgot to give me access via mikogo and so i followed him by my own gut feeling, but i couldnt find it everytime and so i chased trough the video, and by chasing hands i also lost track of my thought process. Not to mention that this was first time i was doing something like that and naturally i was nervous + english is not my native language. Sorry for not making this best experience for you, but surely, in time, i'll get better and less confused :)

    Okay haha, sounds great :) . I am sure it will be a lot more smooth the next time you guys do one. How long have you been playing for? I rarely ever play cash online (a decent amount live though) . I love my sit and goes haha, I dunno why I just really like grinding them, if you wanna make fun of me in return, chip did a review of my hand histories of when I used to suck at the sngs haha, so go post on there to get back lol.
