Katinas, what makes you think he wouldn't play good Jx like that?

i think having friends who play poker is huge. i can imagine coaching being a very good choice if you don't have alot of fellow pro's to throw ideas around with

i think the problem with coaching is that the prospective students aren't really qualified to choose a good coach, so their only choice is to see who crushes the games, and hope they will be a good coach (obvious problems with this approach...1)they might be great players but poor coaches or 2) they might not be great players and be lying about results 3)they might not be great players but have ran hot)

or they could read reviews from other people who aren't really qualified to analyse how good a coach is, and also have selection bias where the people who didn't have a good experience tend not to write reviews (good example being the breathweapon case)

in general i'm with isura on coaching, but only on a practical level, in theory IF you can find a coach that charges a reasonable price and is very competent, then there is no reason why it won't not a good decision to get coaching from them. but i think these coaches are pretty rare.

i think instead of paying for coaching, paying to relocate somewhere where you will be in close proximity to some good players will make you more money in the longrun, and be more fun

the arguments here are pretty good. For someone like me who speaks literally to next to no one about poker, then coaching has to be my method for moving forward and up. but you certainly have to take the time to find the right coach etc. I think whateverson has thought his gameplan out thoroughly and Nlsoldier sounds like the type of coach that will get the best out of him so am sure it'll work out well. Gl whateverson.

What do u guys think about BRM? What's a good amount of buyins for playing the nl100/nl200, concerning a kind of "bumhunting light"-tableselection? (playing everyone at nl100, denying action to good regs at nl200). I have to cash out some $ during the month, but I am not fully dependent on the poker-monies.

I seem to get nittyer and nittyer after every downswing/be-stretch.

Are we always pretty much jus stickin it in here vs a bad reg who has betted big in similar spots earlier in match but havent really seen what hes had cause ive folded.

Why do you raise the turn?

wasnt sure if he was ******ed enough to b/call some stupid **** like 34 67 5x 6x 77-TT or other random junk. Only decided to stick in in on turn cause he bet so big...

focus more on specific spots i have problems in, have hand histories ready to talk about those spots (like, 2-3 hhs to illustrate the general problem).

eg 'playing weak/decent draws IP in a 3b pot'



and yeah living with poker players prob > coaching, but they have to play pretty much the same game etc. i use chat as a substitute but it's not rly the same

and yeah, lol @ all those examples. jungleman for example talks about urnotindanger2 so often it's pretty clear what influence those two had on eachother

Which fixed limit is comparable to NL200? Also, how's the rake compare to NL? Thanks in advance.

i think 5/10 is about the same. GOD limit is a tilt inducing game tho

Katinas,

Why call flop and turn if villain is such a nit that you have to fold this river?

I would call though. The range that his play makes sense with is big. Missed fd, missed sd, Qx, Jx and random spazz. Sure, we can eliminate a ton of that range because of the way that he plays, but I'm hard pressed to believe that some of those are not in his range, at least some of the time, and we don't need many for this to be a call.

jshskfjhskjf hate days like that, all nl20

ve to calm down first, before 2th session

OMG, low fixed limit eats so much rake, and also fish hits like 25 hands in a row, unreal. PelicanMan, you were right that it's tilt-inducing form of poker.

I played flop abit weak for reasons kinda unknown to me now but I dont hate it. Then on turn I think he will put me on a pr+draw kinda hand quite often and I have the best hand alot more so I raise. Then tricky river I would make this bet alot with the str or flush myself but Im not sure he knows that...anyone like my play?

villain is russian reg BTW and doesnt seem overly great

why u didnt 3 bet?

don't know if blocking bet is better than check. i'd prob c/f, but this might be good too

yeah i like this better actually, he's gonna assume it's balanced thus not bluffjam etc

dunno jus felt like flattin at the time hadnt really been 3betting him. thoughts on river?

not sure if we are on the same page, but i don't think it matters, in fact its good to have various friends who play completely different styles, so you can see different ways to play and create your own play style

i think its fine but i'd c/r the turn larger on this texture and stack depth. i also don't like c/r flop i think its too thin.

i think he means literal game format, not play style

I think he meant by same game that fox example everyone plays NLHE HU instead of 1 HU player, 1 full ring player and 1 Omaha player.

Those illustrated HHs are so funny.

snap with aq obv.

anybody any idea how many hands ~8k FTP takes at 50hu on tilt ?

i got the $500 bonus and i dont see any way to clear it apart from grinding rush FR for 2 weeks. so basically just thinking its useless atm.

jfc if there are any serbians in this thread congrats!!!!!!!! that game was sooo epic!

Just 4 table 6-max rush. You can knock it out it a week.
How'd you get 500 btw? I got 50.
It releases in small increments so you can just play HU and get a few bucks if you don't want to mess with other stuff.
