lol i'm the french guy on the vid pm me...

sorry for my bad accent i guess it's one of the reason why Gordon have not make the complete course with me...

Anyway Gordon push my skills at a very decent level and now i beat NL400 sh and hu (i've only buy the hu course)

IMO it's a no brainer call for the hu course and probably for the 6max course as well for every player between nl 50-400.

Again ty Gordon/thinkitthrough

edit: bad quote(drunk) i'm not sure how to fix it but it's not very important

I have a few questions regarding the free video. At the 6 minute mark, Hero has KK and an UTG limp called preflop, the flop came out A95 at this point you advocate betting large on the flop. You didn't state why other than the fact that he limp called preflop and he's playing 63/19 over 16 hands. When the board pairs A on the turn, it becomes a pretty clear value bet and a value bet again on the river 8

The board reads A95-A-8


Why is a large bet on this flop the best play?


The Ace paired on the turn, but on the flop, we didn't know what card was coming.

-What about the rest of the time when an Ace doesn't come on the turn, do you still recommend going for 3 streets of value betting large each time?

-What about when the turn is an 8 and the river is an Ace?

-What about when the turn is a 9 or 5?

-On the turn, what cards (if any) aren't we betting and why?

-On the river, after we decide to bet flop and turn, what cards (if any) aren't we betting and why?

Thanks,
Brian

Good question Brian:

I make an assumption which is the following:

• Somebody who plays 63/19 and limps UTG, even if its only 16 hands is 95% a big fish.

• Those type of players have a very wide range and will call anything that hits the flop remotely, no matter how big you bet.
  Why bet large ? Its more simple than you might think:
  
  => VALUE!
  

Conclusion:

On the flop we have a big valuebet no matter what. Of course we don´t love the ace, but most players get more freaked out than needed.

Question 1: What if turn was an 8 and river A

Answer: Still bet again. But not close to pot anymore, because you do have to weigh in the likelyhood of him having Ax and us being beat some %.
Lots of worse hands (pair + gutter) and random crap he can call with.
If we get raised at any point, we fold.

Action: I´d bet like 2/3 pot. If the river is an ace, i bet closer to pot again (3/4). If its a blank, i´d bet a bit less than half pot.


Question 2: What if turn is 9 / 5

Answer: Still bet again. The main reason if you´re not betting is, because you´re "scared". Its a psychological mechanism that prevents you from betting.
I assume you´re not check-folding, so you´re losing the SAME amount if he hit trips, but you give DRAWS a free card...

I´ll repeat: any time he raises, we´re out.

If i get called, i will check fold river vs not bluffy stations and check call on non-flush cards vs bluffy stations

Question 3: which turns are we not betting and why

Answer: Vs this guy, you gotta bet ANY turn


Question 4: What about river if we bet flop and turn

Answer: The river becomes interesting if you get called. I guess i´d bet smaller if the spade hits and bigger if its a complete blank, but i´m betting ANY river after the ace on the turn.
Ok probably not a 9 river. But thats about it.

For your information: Everybody can now nowBuy Double Your 6max Winrate


Enjoy, see you inside the course!

If my winrate is 0, what's it gonna be after that course, still zero?

Well, most people back in high school days
would have answered the question 0*0 = 1 lol

I got many pm´s asking where the buy link was. Its below on the right side with the intro videos. Here is a link:

Its done and all tech problems solved! Join the others who have already joined!

Buy the course " Double Your 6max Winrate "

It is now 2 days since I requested the refund for the HU mastermind and this is the 30 days since the purchase - I post here as a public record that I requested it in time - no email answer yet but I am not posting this as a complain

So you decided you didn't like after 30 days? :P

So you did all the homework in less than a month? That's fast!
Kinda surprised it didn't work out for you. What were your results?

To clarify why I am refunding. This is not a Mastermind, all he knows, all you need to know course as advertised and is as basic as you can get in a course covering all streets of play, albeit just showing same hands over and over again. If you are a beginner you will benefit from this but I have been beating hunl100 already 2 y ago and nl200-400 rush more recently(big improvement on my game last year) and this is v basic for my level.

As for the timing is just how I organize my life. When I bought it I placed a reminder on the last Monday(my planning and organization day) before the last refund day so I don't forget in case I am not happy with it.

Also it might be a coincidence but before the buy I was getting answers super fast from support and live chat. Now my email has not been answered for 3 days nor live support on site answers despite showing online.

Hi Mihain.

It actually is not. Why?

1) I´ve checked your account and you´ve logged into the course exactly ONE time. I´m careful before making early assumptions.

Seems a bit weird though for somebody paying 1k for a course. So at the very least you haven´t tried the course at all.
The rest is up for speculation, but we´re gonna talk via email/skype and make sure you´ll be treated fairly.

We´re doing careful reviews with our tech staff, because i give everybody the benefit of the doubt.

This case is extremely unusual. For that reason, i take time before drawing early conclusions.


2) My promise stands.

@Jimmy and Iggy, 99% of people are honest. It would be unfair to draw a conclusion based on which day somebody asks for a refund. I´ve waited here for other reasons and maybe everything turns out right and i´m gonna refund Mihain. Without strong evidence, we gotta treat everybody as being innocent.


When i offer the moneyback, its for people like the two of you, and every other fellow student, who is looking to improve his game.

I´m never gonna make life harder for the honest people, just because a few could take advantage of me. If you´re a student of mine, i´ll treat you like a friend. Sometimes with tough love like Jimmy, but always with your success as the ultimate goal.

I remember an honest guy who wanted a refund couple months ago. He sent me a nice email, explaining he played NL 1k, but wanted to give it a try anyways. We´re friends to this day.

In short: When in doubt, i always refund, because a promise is a promise. Even if there is the chance that somebody takes advantage of it.

Update about Mihain:

TLDR: We talked 4 hours on Skype. Played chess and had good talk about business. Everything allright.


Everything looked like it was a scam, but i´m now convinced that he´s an honest guy and of course will get refunded. He was looking for theory and more theoretical discussion, which this course is clearly NOT about.

I focus on practical/actionable advice, with homework.

Anyways, we´ll make a deal where we exchange some work (he is good with websites) for coaching. Will also give me a chance to prove the "mastermindness"

As Gordon just wrote we ended up talking few hours on Skype, playing some chess games and having a talk on business stuff

As for the course I want to clarify that I DID NOT refund because Gordon is not a great coach or the course is not of quality, I just had different expectations, especially on the theory/practical advice ratio.

Gordon, do you have a HEM screenshot of your play from this year

Is there any reviews on the 6max course yet?

Since no one has posted a review on the 6 max course, I will give some feed back to the course

I am a 25nl 6 max break even player.

I have not yet completely finish the course, but so far the materials are good, they will definitely improve your winrate. They are expressed in a relatively straight forward manner. I can also assure you that the materials in the course can apply to micros to mid stakes as they are the most basic stuff that is often overlooked by players. The course also focus on the spots where the decisions are not obvious yet insanely important.

Long story short, ranging from 1-10, I will give 8.5 marks to the course. Tbh, I am a bit disappointed as the weakest parts of my game has not been covered in the course. Even so, I will still recommend this course to anyone playing 25NL - 200NL.

My quick review of the 6max course

I was on the HU mastermind.

And i'm a big fan of Gordon so i'm not sure of my objectivity.

The ratio price/content of the course is very very good.

Some obvious topic are missing like the 3bet strategy and a street by street guide(like in the hu course)

But the real advantage of the style of coaching of Gordon is that he focus on thinking process and exploiting like a crazy the opponents with some very simple "tools".

Also sometimes he makes some philosophical disgression in the videos on the way people think and other stuff i have find it was very interesting and accurate.

i know that i'm a random here not sure of the impact of my review

here a graph where you can see the improvement of my redline and winrate(low sample i'm not a big grinder) since i have buy the courses.

Is the 6-max course the same course that was supposed to be 6-max mastermind? Do you have a written table of content anywhere? I checked the video but fell asleep after a while. I know it doesn't cover the following topics at least:
* how to play 3-bet pots
* coldcalling
* Playing 4-bet pots
* Playing out of position from the blinds
