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

Wilt, I am in the trial period of my membership. I live on Lake of the Ozarks(I know u know where that is). Frankly your video series on "The Mathematics of Poker" is the best thing I've seen on this or any other poker training site. I was a longtime member of PSO and had around six months of membership at another well know site. Most offer videos like many of the videos on this site with just some TAG play or LAG play and lots of comments about how "BAD" the players are. Frankly pokertracker gives me more information then that. Your series is outstanding. I am now viewing the series you did with Krantz who suggested membership in this site would be better than buying his dvds.

Anyway enough of the sucking up. I would like to see a bankroll building series for both online and live poker. I would like to see a series on dealing with tilt. Along the same lines as the BR series how about something on managing your BR as it grows including some tax related issues. How about a series on "Why we suck" or "Why we can't get out of the Micros". How about more on using PT to refine your game and identify weakness.

I would challenge you to do a series starting with a dollar and building a bankroll. Maybe I could see how you keep someone from getting all their chips in against aces and sucking out with 4,3 offsuit? Thanks for your insightful video series.

Hi SetMiner, thanks for all the comments and praises :-) Really appreciate that a lot. The Lake of the Ozarks is an awesome place. If you're ever in Kansas City let me know and we'll grab a bite or get a drink.

As for your suggestions, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with what's to come in future seasons. I can't guarantee the timeline but as for your suggestion on how to deal with tilt issues, Tommy Angelo (long time coach and author of "The Elements of Poker") is rumored to be doing an audio series around poker mentality/tilt/perspective at some point. Also, in terms of starting at the low stakes and working up, in Season 4 I'll be doing a series called "Real Life: Micro NL Grinder" where I take a low stakes player under my wing, give them tons of coaching, record the coaching sessions and analyze their play to improve their game and jump out of those stakes. Hopefully this is close to what you're looking for. If you play 10c/25c or 25c/50c, be sure to check out the General Forum for my post, and submit an application!

I think your series idea of starting with a dollar and trying to move up is a really good one. I'm not sure if I'll be doing it anytime soon (have some other series plans) but we will keep your suggestion in mind for someone to do in future seasons.

Thanks again

p.s. i promise you i can't teach how to not get sucked out on with AA hahaah I wish I knew how too!

"Real life Micro Limit Grinder" sounds interesting. I would especially want my 18 year old to have a go with a mentor. He's got a future in the game I think. Online poker is so different from the live game, I see some LAGs live but not near as many and I don't see too many of them calling allins with 9,4 suited against aces.(B&M seems so much easier sometimes) Thanks again for the great video series.

P.S. I do come to KC to play sometimes usually in tournaments I have done fairly well in them. Most of my family still lives in KC so I hope we do cross paths at some point in the future. I'll treat ya to dinner if you can teach an old dog new tricks.

I have taught many old dogs many tricks :-) They are usually my best students!

Many thanks for your video on mathematics, from an old maths nerd called omaha!

It was really good to see things spelt out properly and explained so that a human can understand things, as opposed to sklanskys books where things are spelt out properly and explained hideously! (side note- that DS really, really, really needs an editor!)

One quick question for you Wilt, Is the G Bucks section in your video basically another way of stating the RE parts of the REM process, as outlined in the new Mehta book? I think it is, basically it talks about getting a hand range (as opposed to a hand) and then thinking about your average equity amongst all of those hands? Is there any difference between this and G bucks?

Second question. Will you let me wear a deuces cracked cap at the final table of the WSOP as your representative from the Real Life: microstakes grinder graduate ?

Any idea when the lucky person will be chosen? Cause I can start straight away!

Yes the G-bucks calcs are similar to the RE part of the REM process but there's a subtle difference I believe (i read mehta's volume 1 like 6 months ago, so i might be wrong on REM).

As far as G-bucks goes, it's essentially doing math the math where we see how OUR range does against villain's hand. So say villain snaps us off on a bluff, we figure out what our range is in a spot and see how villain's call does against our range.

Some of the other math I do in this series in episodes 4-8 has to do with how our hand does against a range (i think that's closer to RE in REM).

The final step would be figuring out how our range does against their range, but the math for that can get quite complicated when figuring our each hand in our range effects the # of combos of the hands in villain's range etc.

Have you watched Episode 8 yet ? That's the one that talks about G-bucks and implementing it.

Good luck

p.s. When you make the wsop final table i'll demand you wear a blue power ranger suit with your deuces cracked hat :-)

I will probably choose the winner sometime this week, i have lots and lots of apps to go through

Ah, so thats the difference. (I havent watched all the vids yet, and will prolly watch them 3-4 times anyway so it all sinks in)

I went through Mehtas book again, basically the REM looks at our hand we have, against the opponents range. Sounds like G bucks is a bit more involved if we are comparing our range to their range!

All this talk of math is making Omahas head hurt. Why cant poker be as easy as integration, differentiation and calculus?

p.s. When you make the wsop final table i'll BEG you to wear a BLUE power ranger suit with your deuces cracked hat :-)

I keep trying to watch this but keep falling asleep haha. Nice work.

haha, yea i think in one of the videos i suggest not watching them right before bed time :-)

try to watch them over lunch or while you're pumping in caffeine or something!

WoT

Or, alternatively, you could market them to the non poker playing community as a guaranteed way of curing insomnia

so I just got around watching episode 2 after our little chitchat last night on irc as we were railing the 25K HU. Now I don't remember why I ever stopped watching this series after finishing episode 1, and I'm definitely watching all remaining episodes in the next 3 days.
I have a solid mathematical background so thus far what was really interesting for me was the plain English explanation of the concepts and the examples, and I think the way you elaborated on implied odds and fold equity was really great.

You do a great job of presenting the material so it's easy to follow and understand.

Really enjoying this series.You present it well and the way you explain things is very easy to understand.I'll be watching them all.Well done.

2pair with no other info:
isn't that 3x3=9 combos?

please delete if i'm wrong

As a beginner (been playing for 1 month), I would say these videos have improved my game more then any other so far.

Thank you very much for spending the time to make these videos and explaining the math from the ground up.

It's truly changed the way I play NLH!

Thanks Again,
