Hey everyone

Recently started a YouTube channel for educational poker content, partly to help promote my coaching business.

Thought I'd post one of those videos here! Hope some folks find it helpful.

if you're struggling at the micros, then the rake is too high

that's why none of the high stakes crusher bother doing micros challenges for very long because even they know it's a rake trap scam

I don't think this is accurate. Polk finished his $10k challenge, and the 2nd image is a graph from my friend currently doing a micro challenge for his YouTube channel (if you want his channel, lmk). I think a lot of pros quit the challenge because it's boring and there's not enough reward in it for them.

But also, we don't need to agree on how tough (or impossible) the micros are for the video to be relevant.

Let's just say, punting is probably the most costly mistake I'm seeing from newer players. Their preflop is okay, their hand reading is okay, and then every 200 hands they're leveled into a 40bb mistake. Given that a lot of these students are break-even players, I think fixing this alone will turn them into winning ones.

fair enough. yea could just be leveling themselves because sometimes ppl do random stuff which can be tilting
