lol, I think thinkitthough should also be coach at marketing
more I think, more I believe that these "scandals" isnt coincidence (not giving out screen-name, new subject for this thread, legal cheating ad). Its good for him, if some random trolls pumping & pumping up his thread every day.
Going back to times. I was against him because I felt the same - he can't be a good coach. I mean, I didn't have any experience with him - no videos, not getting session from him, nothing. But hiding his screen-names was very suspicious to me. You can find my comments in this thread.
My friend have his coaching package. He is very close friend to me, basically 5 years ago we grew up together from 2nl to mid-stakes. We played full-ring and after that heads-up but then our ways splitted - I went husngs, he stayed HU.
He bought HU mastermind, time-to-time I visited my friend who showed me his [thinkitthrough, OP] some videos. Call it stealing or whatever. Usually I dont like any vids. If I watch CR, DC or whatever vids - damn they are booring. Almost during every video I fall into a sleep because they are soooooooooo long and booooring, the same ****, basically nothing to learn, atleast for me.
I have visited and been subscribed members almost every coaching site, but unfortunately I only can recall 2 coaches who were worth their money. One was in CR and another on dragthebar (delete this part, if its advertising or something like that, but I want to give out my thoughts).
But when friend showed me Gordon vid on his place, I was little bit wtf. Vids ARE VERY SIMPLY and SHORT! He basically giving his thoughts in first 2-3 minutes, then repeating little bit and nothing complicated. We couldnt even finish our first beer, when video was over!
I have never-ever hired coach because 99% 2p2 coaches are even worse than me. But If I need help again at some day (right now playing poker so rarely), then I definitely willing to pay thinkitthrouh and today he is the only one who I really would hire. Obviously my thoughts may be change in a year or so.
Also I think EVEN if he isn't best coach in the world
terms of winning, even if he is WORST coach in
terms of winnings, then I still believe he is BEST TEACHER in the world. He can turn losing player into winning faster than any other coach.
I watched his pokerstrategy.com video a few days ago (only first 4 minutes lol) and I cant agree more. Maybe I am protecting thingithrough because we have pretty similar poker-view. I agree with 100% him - thats is the reason why I rarely post on 2p2, because you learning and concentrating on wrong things.
I am not throwing my thoughts randomly - I have lots of proofs. I have played different games alot. Few millions hands FR, 300k+ hands HU cashgame, 10 000+ HUSNG-s, little bit PLO. I have experiment in my game a lot, I have learned new things from different games.
WHAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT: EVERY Game, absolutely in every ****ing game, the largest crushers were players, who played the game differently than average 2p2-er! Like calling 4bets, like never 3betting, like 3betting A LOT, like cbeting 40%, like cbeting 100% etc. And I think thinkitthrough isn't average 2p2-er.
He know very well that most 2p2 **** is wrong, like "dont call 4bets", "balance your range", "dont bluff a fish", "merge your range", "dont bet because worst hand isnt caling" blabalabalabalbala. My game stagnated at one point when I stayed on 2p2 strat threads, 2012 for me its nothing to learn here. Its time waste!
Oh my bad english, but my thoughts.
