I just downloaded ur 50NL vid, and I see that you're playing under the name leukehond. Why is that? Is it your own screenname? I wonder because ur from the States, and it's a Dutch screenname

Thank you for answers.

Plz tell me what do you usually do in this kind of situation:

1 or 2 guys sitting left to you are playing like 60/12. And the good news are that they don't understand position at all. So they call almost every your raise when on blinds. Would you still raise wide range from BTN? Would you tighten up? What if their Forld to CBet < 50%?

I am always unsure about this. If you are holding like 54s on BTN is there any need to raise when you IP if you know it's like 80% chance you would be called? Looks good couse it's hand for huge pot right?

So my question in general is: do you like playing marginal hands/trash against loose players on blinds?

thac, i'm overall winner in NL25 for 3ptbb/100, but I'm losing on non showdown pots. Is it normal thing or I am too weak/tight postflop? My preflop game is something like 17/15.
Second thing what do u think of getting coaching from players like tubasteve, terp, nowhereman or HaiaN to help me to beat NL50 when i move up? they're all from deucescracked.

I'd be raising more hands for their top pair value, rather than hands like A3s because you're gonna want to be valuetowning them and with a hand like A3s you're not gonna feel comfy getting 3 streets of value (although maybe with the ace). Lean towards more hands like K9o rather than A3s, something that is more likely to flop TP and be good. I wouldn't say to tighten up too much because they're bad and we have position, but if they're just not folding, the best thing to do is wait for a hand. But definitely play hands against them.

I can say from experience that terp is a good coach, and I've talked with and played in the same games with tubasteve and he's really smart/good as well. I don't have experience with the other two, but learning a good solid game at nl50 is so beneficial because you'd rather start early than develop bad habits at nl50 that will need to be corrected later. I'd say definitely look into coaching when you do move up; if anything you'll generally make the money back during the session while they sweat you so it can't be TOO bad to try it out =)

It's all one big session! Don't sweat it. I'm currently in my biggest downswing (monetary downswing anyways) ever, but I'm taking a few days off, doing other things than grinding 6max, and just having fun. Lately, ShipitFMA and I have been playing the APPT super-satellites, just because they're fun to sweat each other and it's like an easy way to make a small bit of money. I've also dropped down to play 1/2 FR just to grind out a few buyins.

I'd recommend stuff like learn PLO but I've tried that a few times and it ends in heartache.

Oh, sorry =) I didn't notice it.

I was bored and needed a new name so I kept putting in "fish name" phrases into a translator, and "cute dog" or something like that looked really cool in Dutch so I used it!

Will online poker be less profitable in the future, or will there always be born new donks, and old ones will go? What's your vision about this?

Thx for doing this,
I really appreciate it.

we were once driving down the i-15 in las veags headed to los angeles. we approached an innocent looking wind tornado while driving 90 miles an hour in a Kia SUV.

All of a sudden the tornado made our vehicle swerve dangerously where we were almost pushed off the road

I'm sure your life flashed in front of you, what were the thoughts racing through your head at that moment?
