You are choosing to watch his videos and then complain about him. Makes no sense

I watch your videos bc the technical aspects of them are good. So, Pete, do the following and we're good:.

A) Get lessons on how to be a funny teacher, or stop trying to appear funny and be more serious. The way you do it, you sound like a clown, a clown that is not funny at all.
B) Do not say you're gonna grind x hands unless you really mean it. If you had your new projects coming, why did you say a few months ago that you would grind? Why didn't you just wait? So, either do it, or have the balls to say you won't do it. No excuses

Love u Pete <3

thats how you do it:

So you don't need to click if you are only interested in the results.

Pete will probably double or even triple results of this random dude. 100k sample is lol. Pete promised to put 400k

Your comment makes no sense. Are you only supposed to watch things you thoroughly enjoy/agree with and dont have a single complain about?

No, but it seemed like the guy hated Pete but deliberately watched his videos to then come here and bitch about him. But then they clarified they like the videos but were only complaining about certain things Pete should change so the original post was understandable

Any updates on this challenge?

I'd like to see/learn from someone who has proven they can handily beat 50nl+ on GG RnC over a very large sample.

Around +18 bb/100 in ev after 140k hands. After rake ofc

Source of the info?

Don't know if you just trolling but honestly that man has not played 140k hands yet. He plays like 500 hands a week at best. GG nick is known and he is not grinding.

pete is busy winning 12bb/100 at 40knl. when the gto nerds (linus, davy) go broke playing him he will return with a vengeance

source:

50% re-trolling the troll who posted that, 50% I don’t really know how much the guy played and how he’s doing, so genuine curiosity.

I don’t get why anyone pays any attention to Carrot man.

He’s just someone with a reasonable sized youtube following and self-declared he’s a coach. He has no achievements in poker like a track record of beating some tough stake. In fact he admits himself he’s barely played any poker (so little that it’s not worth showing a graph)

And is giving really bad advice like to always play your hand never think about your range


It’s like if you wanted to learn how to make money trading and found someone saying “I’ve barely done any trading, haven’t made any profit but trust me bro I’m really good and will be able to teach you for $400 an hour”

That's good advice, though.

You go to college and you learn about trading theory from professors who have never traded in their life. I believe the inventors of the black-scholes model which is one of the most widely studied models for pricing derivatives never traded in their life.

wrt trading/poker, most people just need to learn the basics, and imo being a great teacher is way more important than being a great player in order to teach them.

idk if Pete actually said what they wrote, but "never think about your range" really isn't good advice

What is the context?

My (flawed?) understanding is that you can't really disregard what your range look like vs a good regular because if you play inconsistent with your range, which usually means turning some part of it face up, strenghtening some part and weakening another etc, you will get yourself punished.

If you're playing vs someone you can realistically expect will never do it, either because he is a completely clueless recreational, he won't be around long enough, he doesn't kmow how to adjust, he doesn't have a hud or the site is anonymous etc, then why wouldn't you play hand vs range and maximize your EV right now?

Context is everything, maybe someone can provide the link for the video and a timestamp please?

I would have both, if possible. Great teacher and successful practitioner in the field. Not sure if Ed Thorp is a good teacher, but I would rather take lessons on pricing derivatives from him than the black-scholes folks.

Strictly speaking poker. If you're not a winning player with a legitimate sample so not 60k hands like some morons have you shouldn't be coaching and I refuse to believe you're worth the money you're charging.

tbh I agree in 99% of cases. guess I was playing devils advocate

Yeah, context is important here. He basically said that to be obsessed with "balance" vs unbalanced opponents is to throw
EV away. Instead we should just focus on playing hand vs range and maximize EV. The only time we should strive for balance is when it is necessary in order to maximize our EV.

I don't remember the exact video, but I saved a screenshot from it.

This is a very good summary. He plays 100 R&C now right?

So I can see why he could come to that conclusion because it's the best way to play at that level. But to move up and compete with regs who are actually good you can't "play your hand" in every hand, most of the time you have to play your range and this is what all the best players do

my guess is he is against the idea of learning about how to play ranges before you learn how to play hands in a vacuum. I have seen many players who know their range is supposed to overbet turn, or check range, or donk a flop, but actually have no clue which types of hands are supposed to do this. So basically for 99% of players learning what a hand should do > learning what their range should do.

surely pete must have played professionally for a bit before coaching


are people guessing that he just went straight to coaching or that confirmed?

if so, i think that makes it even more impressive, i would absolutely love to sit down and have a drink with to pick the brain of someone who decided "ya know what, i'm going to learn poker for the goal of starting a coaching business"
