Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by sthief09 (Micro/Small Stakes)

Looking forward to this - gl pad and josh.

Thanks dig.

Just a note to everyone that this one is fairly heavy on the maths, but it's an incredibly worthwhile exercise.

Josh's work in this episode has changed much of my perspective of play, I'm really still digesting and turning the concept over in my mind.

Will definitely be checking this out asap.

Immediate download. Really looking forward to this series. Josh's coaching series' have had a huge impact on my poker game.

Another great series from Josh that makes my brain hurt.

Hi - just watched it - sounds great. Will rewatch it a couple of times to get some more detailed comments.

Pad - what was the book that you mentioned on Talent?
I remember readin quite recently a thread on 2+2 that Bond18 wrote specifically regarding talent vs practise which was along the same lines with which you were talking.

I agree that the actual writing and calculating of EV and the doing of it yourself rather than just watching or reading is very important. The repetition and familiarity of seeing the ranges and the numbers filters straight into the pattern recognition and its development within your brain.

Josh - if your instinct are telling you to lighten up I would follow them - mainly because most will find it hard to digest. But having said that - I am hoping you don't. There are many others series with which to not get heavy math based stuff on the interwebs - and few that do - so I hope you do not lighten too much. But I might be in a minority there .

I have been trying to get a good handle on reducing my own and creating/exploiting 'dead money' - this video seems not only to be good at getting us to look at a more refined,accurate ranging process but also hopefully it will get us thinking about hands more wholistically. And reduce the 'wtf' moments we have mid hand.

Thanks will comeback with more specific things after this meal has settled in my stomach more.

Cheers

The book is excellent - Talent is Overrated Amazon Link

Josh, Any idea how I can activate Pokerazor?

I downloaded it to do some of the Prof Plotkin stuff but not being able to save the trees is a real pain. It would be really good to have for some of this stuff.

Sounds like a very similar premise to Outliers, a book I would strongly recommend.

Thanks for the link, sir. I'm ordering it now. Looks like a great read.

Nice Vid. Maybe someone can help. I understand the math, but how do you apply/plug/crunch the numbers while at play? I only 4 table, but 20 seconds isn't much time? Are you just plugging in on big decision hands, or is it just a matter of practice? Thanks and looking forward to next vids.

You can't do these calculations precisely at the table. You have to do the work away from the table then combine that with experience (yes playing and reviewing lots of hands is important too).

The hand Josh picked is a great example because even if you didn't know any math you should be aware that the majority of an opponents range for c/c c/c a wet board is heavily weighted towards medium strength 1pr hands. The math he did obviously confirms this.

In future episodes we will be looking at some techniques and exercises that will improve your ability to recognise ranges and the strength of these ranges.

congrats on the series SS.... dl'ing
