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

Wilt on tilt, will you change your coache at one point?

Everybody loves your videos, but this guy is not progressing after premium coaching for over a year, this makes the videos pretty boring since there's nothing going forward.. its all stagnant.

about 22 min in, the kq hand where the fish min three bets. I agree w/ WoT's analysis here. I've been noticing a trend in these stakes games where some fish are tending to min rr medium pairs (77, 88, etc) and normal rr big pairs. Not sure if everyone else sees that, but I've seen that a ton lately in spots where I've gotten to showdown. Yes, we still see only premiums from some fish when they rr, but I think its fish dependent.

Totally disagree. I believe Alex's pace of progress are extremely common amongst the overwhelming majority of poker players. Hearing the right play in a three bet pot in a specific situation once from a good player may be enough to change your behavior for the next time you're in that or a similar situation, but in my experience most players need to hear these things again and again before it sinks through. This is partly why you see the same players post in the micro and small stakes forums year in and year out.

Most players' progress is very slow and therefore I think this series is very true to life.

I completely agree. After all we do not need to be Hollywood here.

I disagree with you. From now, if it wasen't for the deal he had for this series, he would have paid thousands of dollars for coaching from a really competent coach. According to PTR, he is almost breakeven at NL100 and a really really slight winner at NL200.

I don't think his coach is the problem do you?

This is exactly why there's about 500 videos preceding this one with the same info, that these players who take many years to learn can watch over and over.

Would be fun not to waste the best coaches potential, and get some more advanced stuff from them.

If i remember right, the first season, the plan was that second season would be midstakes or highstakes.. this is still almost micro nl

Perhaps this is more what you're looking for

Good point but I agree with Sankar in as far as there are lots of other coaches who could be making videos teaching WhiteHeatSyd how to win at 100NL, whilst WoT, one of the best coaches on the site could be fulfilling his video-making potential.

btw, just want to add: nothing against Alex personally. You seems like a nice guy & everything.

Fudge you guys, I love this series and picking a struggling player is a great choice.

Cut him some slack for gods sake, the guy went pro just a couple of months ago, its obviously not easy to find your rhytm. And that he doesn't play high stakes? so what, he lives his dream and gives it his best.

This series is why I got DC subscription and I watch it more for the story and Alex's and WoT's progress as a coach than a bunch of spots... There are are many better vids for that and maybe even coaching sites (Go watch Phil Galfond on his site if you want proper high stakes action and deep analysis)


P.S. Why did we have to wait so long, do you guys explain it in the ep?
This and Thin Red line is why I refresh DC 10 times per day

With the QQ am I way off base thinking that the turn and river are both check folds?

According to Alex' stats he doesn't 3 bet super wide, so I doubt too many people are goofing around on A high boards with many floats against him. I think the vast majority of the hands that villain will show up with are Ax, flush draws and pocket pairs. If we bet the turn we never fold out better, and we only get called by Ax, 99 and flush draws. There's probably twice as many Ax combos in villains range than flush draws and even then the flush draws are going to get there 20% of the time if we check call.

I know it might sound weak tight, and it may be I don't know, but I don't see how betting can be good and I think the hand will be really difficult to play profitably if we check call. If we have a read on the villain that he defends 3 bets really light in position and floats a lot etc then it changes things but without reads I think it's going to be extremely difficult to take a check call line and as I said I don't see too much value in betting.

Is WhiteHeatSyd god's gift to poker?

No!

Are you?

Am I?

Is WhiteHeatSyd dedicating himself to be the best poker pro he can be?

100% YES!!!

Did he get lucky to be chosen for this ongoing project?

Definitely YES!

Are you jealous?

It seems a bit like it to be honest.

Oh please. This is not 2p2.

People made some valid points which should be open for discussion. That's all.

I think everybody here wishes Alex great success in his poker career.

I think anyone who moans about this video series doesnt understand that probably the majority of DC members are not crushing games like this, and that this video series is probably exactly what most of us are looking for.
