It's both. Otherwise I wouldn't be coaching for the price I am still when my hourly at poker is higher.

GL in November

Orojanivu is one of the biggest winners at 200z and he wouldn't stand a chance at 500z, possibly would lose at a 2 digit bb/100 from what I know about his game(if he played exactly like he plays at 200z)

Sowiet wings would never have a higher $/h at 500z than 200z.

Seta-beni probably would underperform vs tougher oposition but I think he can hold his own

Regs like alltoonew and clanty are obviously better than I am in every aspect of the game

All regs I posted are successfull and I'm semi-busto, obv I'm not better at poker than they are.

My argument was that I didn't play with a strategy greedy enough to beat the rake by not abusing people's weaknesses enough. I was too conservative with bluffs that were bad in theory and good in practice, or with valuebets that were good in theory and bad in practice.

Also had bad plays both in theory and practice, but then I just deserve to lose by doing that kind of ****.

Thanks, teach! Will do my best!

Vaaaamooooo!

Oro is not one of the biggest winners at 200z. Idk where u get that from lol

Who are the biggest winners at 200z?

You do realize those type of player's won't even look for these solutions and the few who do won't know how and when to implement the strats properly for the first couple of years at least?

How is it possible to play a style that beats regs and the rake (or close to it) and gets owned by whales/fish? Surely if you are playing such "good" baseline poker you're still going to be doing well against the whales/fish just not to the extent someone exploiting them would be?

I also don't understand what it is you are trying to accomplish with your play style, you want to lose less against better players when you move up but you'll never be able to move up as you're leaving tonnes of money on the table against worse players? When do you make the changes to start taking their money?

Why do you even care about that stuff, focus on ur own bs.
Anyone decent who's seen anything from oro's game knows he'd be lucky to be BE

The main problem of people who laugh at this is that they think that having better players will reduce there piece of the "pie". They are absolutely correct that for the *short-term* this will happen. However, they are ignoring the fact that the "pie" can and will grow exponentially, especially if poker is "legalized" once again. Like I said earlier, they aren't thinking of the long-term where a massive influx of bad recs that will basically never try to improve their game would be the ultimate result causing every "thinking" player to massively increase their profits versus the vastly increased numbers of them.

I didn't say I beat top regs, I said I would lose less vs them. And ofc most of my money come from fish, but mostly vs those nit weaktight fish that fold happy and underbluff. Vs whales I still have an edge obviously, but wouldn't be surprised if it would be higher than mine vs a 14 vpip fish.

Also I was the king of cbetting and x and folding the best hand vs aggro whales that overbluff, so I was inducing them to play a good strat vs me, which is abysmal. I had no idea on how to exploit them until now.

I don't agree with his plays, but he posted some very sick graphs in here, for you it might be easy to beat him, but he probably godmodes fish/whales/weaktight regs like nobody else.

I wasn't having a go, I'm just generally intrigued. I never said top regs, just good regs. (edit - I actually just said regs)

So the plan is to alter your gameplan going forward against weaker players? I generally think I like the way you go about it, the aim should be to play good poker (and you 100% play better than me) but surely as you are looking at developing your good play you are also thinking of how different reactions to what you do alter how you go about things?

Maybe I'm just on such a lower level that those adjustments are much more obvious and easy, whilst being less "correct".

This is the most "hilarious if trolling, ******ed if serious" thing I've read on these forums since a while.

Why? Vs whales vbet them to death extremely thin if they are passive, and if they are the aggro type x to them and let them do their bluffing while you call down very thin. EZ game.

Then you're one of the people incapable of thinking beyond the short-term. That's okay, not every one is capable of thinking abstractly in a logical way.

Also, point out where anything I said is "wrong".

Anyone can have crazy 200k stretches even more so players like oro who's std deviations gonna be much higher than avg.

You'ee underestimating oro in the same way I did with sowiet wings by saying he was terrible nit while he was destroying 200z.

Nits often view aggro as bad and aggros often view nits as bad.

time spent on 2+2 couldn't be used to become 200z end boss instead?

Sounds like you been smoking some of Rapids magic mushrooms. You don't seem to realize that under your logic the 2018 games should the juiciest in history. No wonder you have been stuck on 5nl for 6 years. The best thing about this thread is how intelligent it makes you feel every time you read it.

how did u just get baited

Bold is not true. The ecosystem is nothing like pre-BF. It could be with a mass influx of new players again though via "legalization" of online poker again. You get that by more and more players being drawn to it because they realize the games are crushable via skill.

I play 25 and 50 NL. I already told you the 5NL thing was only temporary because I had withdrawn most on my roll and had to start over.

Also, I would never put the word intelligence and mirage in the same sentence.

Oh, it's that scammer Tastyyy.

This is why people hate on you. Every time you post something, there's this undertone of superiority. As if you know which reg is good enough to make it anywhere based on the 15 hands you've played with them.

The idea that you have been break-even since you started because your strategy wasn't greedy enough or it was meant to ''lose less'' vs good regs and therefore you can not beat fish is absolutely insane.

Cause how hard can it be to exploit people who don't know the rules of poker or cant fold any pair?

He's not trolling. Dude is brain damaged.

Poker is a zero sum game. In order for one person to win, another has to lose. Why would someone go to huge effort only to give it away to their competition for free?

Yeah there's only one "pie" available at any point in time. But the size of that pie (zero sum game) can and does change as a function of time. My point is more winners bring in more recs, more new players. In other words the pie gets larger as a result. There's more money available to be had because the zero sum pie has now grown and will continue to grow at an exponential rate.
