First an most importantly - Welcome to the forum! I;m glad you decided to quite lurking and start posting...

I think making a video would be a good idea, but NOT a play money video. And it should have audio, so you can comment on WHY you are making the plays you are making, so people can get into your head and let you know where we disagree with your thought processes.

Before doing the video though, I'd recommend posting a bunch of ""interesting" hands in the Hand Discussion section. And obviously don't only post bad beats or hands that you are sure you played right, but post ones where a situation came up that you weren't sure how to deal with - REGARDLESS of whether or not you won or lost the pot. One of the first steps in becoming a better poker player is to stop being results oriented. Remember:

Decisions, not Results.

Poker is a long term game, so you always need to be making the best long term decisions, and not be focused on short term results (as so many people instinctively do).

Again, welcome to the forum.

welcome trinket!

I think that you will find this forum a valuable tool to improve your game. As TP said, post a lot of hands. Browse and read old threads in the hand discussion section. And reply to threads in that section, as a major part of the learning process is posting what you think and why. That is the only way to discover the flaws in your thinking.

This is the best advice. I know I need to do this more.

You will get very little (by comparison) by passively absorbing this site

Enjoy!
