jayzwannabe, you're still ignoring my question from previous page.

True but people points to this variance simulator too often to explain bad results but the extreme results on the graph happen like 0.1% (and maybe worse) while the large majority are around their true winrate.

For 400,000 hands, even the simulator gives me results around break even for a solid 4bb winner and 5000 bb in losses for a good 2bb winner - and these are very rare cases.

That being said, I have nothing against improva or his ebook (apart from being overpriced) as I am one of the rare people who doesn't believe in actual results to judge the quality of someone's work.

I would be more concerned by the assumptions made above that he is multi-accounting...

Meh .. If you're Euro, then you have networks and different skins, so having more than one SN is perfectly legit.

I was thinking of "lauracecilie" and "Cannes", both on Full Tilt.

Cannes is proven as he made DC videos with it, but I have to add the disclaimer that I have no proof that hep layed on the lauracecilie FTP account... but it's the same exact SN as the one he used on Stars, is from Denmark, and played the same limits with similar results

Hi
Just a thought..
Why would he have made DC videos with his own accounts with his SN visible? Wouldnt it be more reasonable to assume that he just used other peoples (friend's) accounts for the videos?

So he would make videos that are proof of that?

Must be crushing 1/2 live to be able to afford all those!

My point is there s no proof of anything here.
You wouldnt get sued for playing on a friends account a couple of hours.

He would get banned from Fulltilt if anybody tells them that he plays from other accounts. So i dont think that he did that. One aspect that many people ignore is that poker is maybe 30% Theory and 70% Mindset. If you have not a tough mindset and cant stay calm under stress etc. you cant win at Poker. i dont want to say that he has a bad mindset because i dont know him, but especially in Poker it is very possible to be a very good teacher but only a mediocre player if you cant stay calm and focused under stress.

There are only a few basic principles and you don't have to be a good player to put those across. A really good coach will be able to help you to identify the spots to make various plays but he's unable to do that, at least for himself going by his results, so I wouldn't pay a lot for what he offers.

With the recent discussion of Improva and his book in the various Tri Nguyen/coaches should be winning players/etc discussions, I thought this thread might warrant a bump.
