I outted a well known bot with the SN Kidopham who was holding the lobby on ACR. 5 very strong HUPLO players agreed, several trolls came to personally attack me, and I guess the thread blew up so much that WPN removed the HU lobby. There had been extensive botting on the NLH side as well. Of course, they denied everything.

Two interesting facts about that:
1. That account completely disappeared. One would think a player that strong could crush 6 max too or at least play HU on a 6 max table.

2. The player I outted on ACR was later banned on Party Poker

Thought I would release an update for people who are interested. I'll be releasing the 2nd edition of the book soon (free to the people who have already bought it) and since I'm in europe, I thought I'd jump on stars to see the state of the games. I'm not claiming any of the graphs below are a sample. Obviously not. They are just the results I have so far so I'm posting them incrementally. Already having trouble getting action.

The results are primarily from 10-20 HU zoom on stars with a little ACR and Party mixed in. The other graphs are from hyper HU SNGs at $500 level which is the highest available on stars.

Observations:
1. Almost all the well known players I've encountered are much worse than I expected, many with appalling preflop games as I stated previously
2. Only 3-4 players seem to even have a clue what's happening at 50bb
3. Probably anyone who reads and studies the book will be winning from the start at 2k zoom
4. An experienced 50bb player will probably win 10bb/100 in these games
5. If you're a RIO member, stay tuned for some videos I'm making where I do session reviews

Respect for all the work put in the book but and I am sure the contents are completely legit and for sure helpful to a lot of people, but:

a) Presenting these results over a one week sample as some kind of proof of ability.

I think you would do yourself a favour by just being honest and saying that you haven't played poker for a few years, because anyone who would have the kind of money to pay for a book like this is probably well educated enough within poker to know they don't mean anything.

Most people who know you from RIO and playing with you know that you are more than smart enough to know that 4k hands or 100 HUSNGs are completely irrelevant, so portraying it like these samples mean something comes across very insincere.

b) Claiming anyone who reads the book will be winning at 2k zoom comes across as about as serious as an ad from Tai Lopez or some other fake online guru promising millions if you do this one simple trick.

Best Wishes,
Clueless at 50bb and would probably lose 10bb/100 to anyone who read the book.

^ Was going to quote this separately, the point of posting this is still obviously you trying to convey ability over something completely insignificant, as you claim yourself as well. Why would you post them if we all know they are useless.

cuz he's probably not selling (m)any books and posting a graph from a 2 session heater is the best he's got

Thanks for your thoughtful post. Here's why I posted:

1. I plan to continue posting as the results come in

2. You can actually put 5k hands into a variance calculator with various standard deviations (short stack st dev seems to be lower than 100bb+) and find out the chance someone is losing. Since some people were claimed I'm not even a winning player, running variance sims with a range of reasonable st dev will already show there is only a 10-15% chance of that being true.

3. People are going to quit me well before I ever get a real sample so might as well post what I have now

4. for the lols

Regarding your point B:

Sometimes when an approach is so effective, there's no other way to say it The people who believe me will get the rewards. That's fine with me.

+rep,
you're coming off as a belligerent ex-gf in this thread. considering your "life is basically the ****" (my god that was so cringe) you should have better things to do.

'better things to do', as if it takes more than 1 minute to glance at that last post and know exactly what it's about.

dude has ignored me from the start and employed varying levels of misdirection toward the points i've made about things such as his lack of sample size and his questionable postflop analysis in his RIO videos, and i been quiet for a long time itt. now that the thread is basically dead we got a pretty hilarious update with results and claims made from said results that no self-respecting 'coach' would even bother sharing or making. i didn't force him to make that embarassment of an update, i'm just drawing attention to it.

remember, i said a long time ago that this guy is exploiting an information gap to the fullest.

so when you see him pop back in touting results over a 4000 hand sample, you should probably ask yourself what his motivation is. consider it a PSA of sorts. pardon me for not being surprised, and actually even feeling a bit vindicated on this alone for my previous stance itt.

Yeah Rep and I used to date back in the day. I thought he was the one, but he got lost in a haze of cocaine, 32 hour .25-.50 sessions, and posting on public forums. I may never love again.

see, he does this **** as if it's cute but i'm not anonymous and i dont play .25/.50

i guess i'd probably do the same thing if i was selling a $1600 book and couldn't even produce a year's worth of hands or winnings

What’s the difference between book version 1 and 2?

What’s the plan over next 12 to 18 months?

Any ideas for your 4th/5th book?

Hey man,

I've added a few basic fixes like page numbers (was relying on the PDF reader before) so when someone prints the book it will be easier to find each section. Added a diagram to detail the difference between no rake preflop and preflop for 10-20 rake. Also corrected a couple bugs in the TOC so everything matches up perfectly now.

The biggest new addition is a section on 200bb 3B pots where I show how the structural changes in IP's raise vs cbet range impact turn cards, actually allowing OOP to barrel more often in some cases. Going to wait for more feedback from buyers about what they'd like. I'm open to doing another edition adding a few more goodies for the readers.

Next 12-18 months for me generally? I'm living the digital nomad lifestyle so I'm travelling from location to location. I'll play poker when I can, but I'm primarily working on a novel right now.

I was thinking about writing a less expensive book analyzing postflop multiway play, but not sure I'll have time.

i think the only way to settle this is a rep vs restacks hu 40 bb grudge match. mandatory resetting of stacks every hand. well i guess they could just play on a cap table.

I'm ready, when do we start?

Few people have a bigger ego than +rep so it's definitely GAME ON!!

Still a bold statement not including any kind of proof. Most people who sell expensive courses or coaching, in the marketing section for instance, generally attach graphs and results from previous students.

Is there a >0 amount of people who used to play low stakes that now play 2k from your knowledge?

If yes, I don't see why you wouldn't have shared such a testimony instead of your own graphs.

If no, I think such a statement is completly unfounded.

hate to disappoint, but while i've made N times the amount this guy has in various omaha formats, i'm a 2knl reg nowadays and football season is about to start, and i just bought a new house, so you'd have to make it very worth my time. i mean bro, get real- i've made more $ in 2card so far this month than this guy basically has in his whole life in 4card.

beating me in a hu grudge match might actually be the single thing itt that would actually give him some credibility tho lol, because ain't really nothing in here so far

i'd let this guy flail unprovoked itt, because who really cares? but like i said, a horse of mine wasted some minutes watching some of his videos right around the time he made the OP, and we had some laughs. ul imo

freerollin' at this point, huh? lol u ain't sellin no books

I made a book thread in the RIO forums where I asked my students to post. That was before I made this thread or even considered posting here (remembering old 2+2 rules about advertising personal books). I didn't want to keep asking them to post the same things over again. You can find it in the HS PLO forums there.

Summary, I took a student in one year from zero PLO knowledge to beating HS 4c and then 5c HU for 19bb/100 (we also wrote a book together). One of the other students went from being a loser vs the regs in his games to moving up and beating the regs for double digits at 5-10 (the highest stake on the site) and is looking to move to play higher, another student switched to short stacking and doubled his winrate.

This book is the synthesis of that work.

There's no chance he'll ever play, but I'm ready to play whenever.

15-30 on ACR should be high enough that he can't use the "I'm not interested" excuse anymore so he'll need to switch to a new excuse. They have cap tables so I can illustrate one of the claims of the book. 2 tables. Some number of hands like 30k or something. I'm sure a lot of my friends would like to make some big side bets so we can set that up as well. Probably should play with webcams so Rep doesn't find a replacement and probably should have a camera pointing at the screens to make sure he hasn't purchased some kind of bot or automated preflop software. Looking forward to it.

LOL 30k hands is easily like half your lifetime volume

so i guess this would be like a reverse freeroll for me since, if i won, you'd likely make another thread accusing me of being a bot..?

shortstacking 15/30 still isn't going to be worth my time chump, and you know that. cute that you rush to unilaterally set terms tho after i express basically zero interest instead of like, actually defending yourself on the merits

just gonna repeat here that poker is too complex of a game for this guy to have

1) developed a comprehensive strategy

and then

2) executed that strategy to validate its merits in the real world

when

1) he's only played like 50k hands lifetime (well, that he's choosing to share with us...)

2) he's only showed us 4k hands worth of results since he put his 'definitive' master strategy down on paper


weak, two-bit hustle. listen to how slow and unsure of himself he is when he talks in his videos.

he even did that losery trump thing where he challenges me and then accuses me of cheating/malicious intent before anything even starts. incredible

+rep
It would have taken less time to just say No to the challenge
I might start saving up to buy the book as even you agree the challenge is more than even you can handle.
Good luck to all
