I also think this advice would apply to your game Renton.

I noticed with a lot of your hands you are focussed on what you're repping in bluffs etc. But you never really give analysis on what you put your opponent on and if he is the kind of guy to fold here and such.

Player reads will help you greatly. In not only losing less money but in winning more.

Something that has helped me recently is I put an opponent on a hand and then figure who he is and how much trouble he would have folding it. ie I put a guy on a straight when I just made my flush. When I would normally value bet $30 I know this guy is not capable of folding a straight so instead I push and make say $100 when I only would have made $30 before because in the past I would have used to pot math to decide how much I should bet.
