I think pretty much everyone who's watched the stream at this point would say that there is info that I've given out that you couldn't find in even the best SNG training video. Even my own students in the stable watch all the streams just for the fact it's basically extra free coaching for them. If I was doing this just to prove I can do it, there wouldn't be any reason to do it, because there's probably close to 0% chance of me going busto doing this. I would just load up 16 tables and just grind away, and then what would anyone get out of that? And eventually I won't be playig micros, at some point I'll be playing 15s, 30s, and possibly even 60s, at which point I will be losing a fair amount of EV because I'm sure all the regs at those stakes will be watching the stream and adjusting to what I'm doing in almost real time. I'm not busto, so obviously I'm losing a fair bit of money by doing this over the next 6 months and giving away even more in free information, so if that's not giving back to the community then IDK what to call it.

No shame in that, btw
Haha, obviously there's a slight benefit with this as well, but nothing that remotely covers what I'm losing by doing this.

So i'll be streaming this evening guys. Had a pretty bad run in 6 max yesterday, lots of suckouts and lots of coolers but at the end I only lost about $25, so about 7 BIs, can't be too upset I guess, I just hate to lose. Will be streaming in about an hour or 1.5 so I hope to see everyone there

Haha not much I can do for HU monsters.


Hey guys, had a pretty exciting stream last night. Not only did I get some heat in the 3.5 6 max games to make back everything I lost from the session before and then some, but also one of our horses, Blom96, shipped the big 55 while I was railing his FT on the stream. He played like a champ, so big congrats to him. Things are going pretty well, here is the graph of the challenge so far:



Going out to an early dinner tonight and then will try to get a few hours of streaming in. Thanks for following guys!

Ahhhh I see, makes some sense now. So your giving back to the community by making $5/hr instead of $200/hr?

and also giving away free coaching ofc.

Hey everyone!

Won't be streaming this weekend, I'm getting married in 9 days so I'm taking this weekend to do some prep on that. I'll be coming back on Monday with a good schedule and more hours. Been running pretty bad at 6 max, up about 40 in 6max so far and EV is about 100, so that hasn't been fun but I def think it's time for an upswing. Thanks to everyone thats been following and I'll see you guys on monday. Here's the graph of the overall challenge so far:

Congratulations and best of luck in your challenge. I put on your stream once and thought it was educational and easy to follow for the casual player. Also, the time I put it on you weren't using any software assistance either. I think that's probably better for people trying to get into the game. Many of your basic reads were based on the population tendencies but then since you played a low table count you were able to pick up further individual opponent reads in game. Good experience for the viewers.

p.s. I noticed you tried to work in some passive limping lines, especially HU, in some of those 6max turbos. It's not really needed at that level and/or optimal IMO. Just run them over They don't three bet at any where near enough frequency and/or defend widely enough to a raise. Limping is just letting them realize to much free equity with the weaker parts of their range. If your goal was to keep the stack to pot ratio higher and own them postflop I'd suggest to just continue to raise them wide preflop and work a smaller bet sizing postflop game into the mix.
