All About DeucesCracked Poker Forums

mikao,

Sick run there. Always feels good to run hot.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. We\'re doing everything in our power to be the best teachers we can be, and it\'s good to see that it\'s paying off.

Welcome to the forums,
Rob

Kind words Mickey. We get a lot of praise because we like to talk a lot -- I guess that\'s a good thing. My 3rd great teacher would be surprised.

Not too get too sentimental, but we seem like we care because we do. I wanted to be a teacher for the longest time -- I even studied to become one in college, but got waylaid by technology which was always my second passion.

Now I realize I love the intersection of those passions: technology, communication, and education. Not only am I lucky to be able to exercise those passions, but I think I\'m even luckier that I\'ve found a place where everyone else who plays, posts, and teaches seems to be the exact same way.

Whew! For a second there, I thought I\'d have to blast you for poker blasphemy! When I seen the title of the post I was getting set to let loose

Yeah, this is the nuts right here for the above things you mentioned. I remember that phone ringing thing too. That gave me a chuckle when you mentioned it.

The community here is sweet too. They\'ll rip into you for mistakes, but it\'s meant in the good way. Very supportive. I myself am up to $1/$2 now from .10/20 and doing decent. I\'m still making mistakes, but fewer of them because of the vidz.

Make sure you check out that rakeback portion of the site. .87bb/100 on average is nothing to sneeze at.

Later fella!

Jim

O.K. I\'ve been playing poker seriously for 2 years.. Mainly NL and PLO.. The problem with LHE was that I never really knew why I wasn\'t a winning player.. Till STox\'s book came out. Then I loosened up and probably became slightly better than break even..But I still felt a little unconfident with my game. Now I just joined your site and have watched a few videos already.

I have been a member of Pokerxfactor, Cardrunners and STox\'s. I must say that you guys are the most analytical and professional sounding commentators on any of these sites.. That was very surprising to me cause I thought that Sheets and a couple of guys at CR were the nuts.. No, you guys talk talk talk and even make perfect sense all the time.. And you have yet to answer phones, or talk about your GF\'s or puppies during the video which is very professional :cool:

The results were immediate, on the very first nice little session. It can\'t be just a coincidence..What a joke! (yeah yeah I know I ran super hot, but the thing is I felt like I knew what I was doing and why, adjusting very strongly to different types of opponents)

I want to SECOND this post.

I am also a member at Xfactor...for NL MTTourneys/sng\'s. They are ok and they have tons of videos.
BUT.....DD, Entity, Mr Tall...and Oink(who I think is a natural born teacher).....can pack so much info into a video....I HAVE ASKED THEM TO SLOW DOWN!!!!
I also think the DC staff, understands and can communicate the knowledge of \"their game\" better.
The forums on DC are TONS better.

Lastly....DC feels better. I think these guys care.
I think they enjoy helping someone/us.

you can\'t buy that.
