  1. If that is your opinion, then that is what you should have posted. Instead your post's aim was not to help players learn how to think in a game fairly new to them. You aim is to try to make me feel like an idiot and discouraged me from posting here again. It worked. Congrats. You are a top notched @$$hole in your prime.Thank you, KingJames, for presenting your thoughts and advice. It gives me something to work with on my way out the door.
  2. Thank you for your reply, AmScary. It was in depth and insightful. This board is blessed to have somebody of your knowledge, understanding, and compassion to help out Stud players, where good books on general strategical ideas are lacking. You really should transfer your knowledge in prose. You can call it 'Dr. Seuss Plays Stud.' This will help newer players learn before they move on to more advanced concepts. I look forward to your writings.
  3. Like the OP, I also lack practical playing experience. However, I am in the middle of 'Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players.' The book mentions loose games specifically. It advises not to come in with a raise often on 3rd without a strong hand, as the bet is unlikely to eliminate anybody. Split T's is not in the strong group. I have no problem with the limp. If your read is a draw, then do not 3bet 4th street, as it is difficult to price anybody out. You are just adding to the pot, which generally makes the villain(s) correct to chase on later streets. Instead, wait until 5th street, w
  4. Thanks for your help, Adam. I appreciate your reply. Time in the tourney (outside the money bubble) is something I have not considered much. In this hand, I attempted to analyze if the price was right, and what would be needed to make the call. Based on my Poker Stove trial & error with your assigned range for villain, a good calling range is 99+,AKs,AKo.Text results appended to pokerstove.txt 6,020,460,864 games 0.005 secs 1,204,092,172,800 games/secBoard: Dead: equity win tie pots won pots tied Hand 0: 43.277% 40.53% 02.75% 2439795072 165678774.00
  5. I have read elsewhere that monotone flops are solid flops to occasionally bluff at. However, I am not sure that a play here would fold out many single spades. Is it correct to never bluff at this flop? If not, when you do bluff at this flop, what is the proper line? Which cards, outside another spade or the board pairing, would cause you to abort mission? Thanks in advance for the input.
  6. I can understand why 22 folds here. What range did you assign villain? With that range, what range would you call with? This is one of my weaknesses deep in tournaments. Figuring the though process behind the decision here would go a long way towards improving my game.
  7. Like many items in poker, Small Ball is just showing a practical thought process behind poker decisions. Instead of saying, I have (pick two cards), I will raise. Instead Small Ball has taught a multitude of items to think about in a way that allows for a proper bet size at proper times, among other things. Small Ball has it's general rules, then has situations where those rules should not be followed. It's like cooking. You take a recipe and follow it to see how it turns out. The next time you make it, you flavor the recipe to your tastes.
  8. I don't see them there either. Were they moved to another location? Are they still accessible? Did his contract run out? Please advise...thanks.
  9. Daniel...I must admit I am quite pleased with the new material. Viewing several ideas from several solid players has allowed me to incorporate some into my game, while also learning how players of different styles think. My results, although on a more casual level, have vastly improved. In December alone I have a 50% ITM rate in SNGs, made deeper runs in MTTs, and am in the black at the cash tables, albeit 10NL & 25NL.However, I cannot 'say' it here. For me to 'say' it to you would necessitate an invite to see you in person. I would say it could be on the links, but let's just say my
  10. There is also a segment dedicated to his topic in his Small Ball videos, which also can be found in his section of his book, POWER HOLD'EM STRATEGY.
  11. To add to Rayen's post, I have found that even the live bits that are done, especially the Real Time Thought Process segment, where Daniel analyzes live hands while we here comments from the players. Hearing other players' comments is extremely helpful to understand the logic to one's style (even if it is weak). That has helped me play against similar players, where I can better determine a range of hands and how to exploit their weaknesses.When you come in new, you will have a ton of material at your fingertips. Plan on allocating a ton of time to PokerVT. Your game will thank you for it.
  12. I appreciate the video, although it's much tighter than I usually play at 25NL. I do have some questions/comments:2/9 Minbet River: I have found this to be trying to take advantage of villain's habit of autofolding at a minimum cost when heads up, a tactic vs. multitablers who tend to predecide their actions.2/9 6:40 Hidesert 75 vs QQ: It seems Nick missed this while at another table. This in itself can win a 'Purple Star.' He called 3.5bb with 75; flop comes 47T-two spades, he calls 7/8P raise; Turn brings Qh, he again raises pot when checked to, then instacalls AI reraise. We need mo
  13. At first, I had wondered the same thing: Why show the same hand in multiple videos? I think PokerVT chose to isolate a particular topic, error or misconception in each segment. Although the hands are the same in multiple videos, it's actually 9 different hands. It is one hand from the viewpoint of each player based on their individual skill level. Seeing the hand from the amateur point of view, then seeing the same hand thought out from a professional's viewpoint shows the differences in the two thought processes. Splitting the videos also allows for subscribers to review a specific situa
  14. You did very well over the holiday. It looks like you have a winning combo at the #5 DONs & SNGs. I would advise to play more of those. I find that the 2-table SNGs take 90 minutes max. Sneak in a weekend game or two.Looking at my recent stats (since Nov. 1), I am having most of my (still marginal) success at cash 10NL & 25NL, along with 2-tbl & 5-tbl SNG (4/7 ITM, 3 2nd place finishes, +$31.10). I do not do so well in the MTTs, only cashing in a $2.20. Just a little more consistency is all I need.
  15. I attribute my current results to being a bit of a slow learner. I am still playing micro stakes due to a smallish bankroll online, but I am still losing a little since I joined in July. However, I am turning the corner. Since July I am losing ~2bb/100 playing at 10NL. That is a marked improvement to the multiple leaks I had prior to joining.Obviously, PokerVT is more of an entertainment vehicle for me currently. I play online to help me play (and record via PokerTracker) hands, then analzye postmortem. I take the game very seriously. Coming from a (non-blitz/bullet) chess background, m
