Ever wonder why you can't break into that higher limit you're always taking shots at? FoxwoodsFiend moves up through different stakes of No-Limit, starting off at .5/1 and playing gradually higher stakes. He illustrates the different types of gameplay at each limit while explaining the adjustments players from one level to the next must make in order to be successful in their ascent. FWF talks about the different types of fish and regulars at the varied stakes, plays he would make at one level but not at the next, and touches on which playing styles are more suitable for which stakes. DeucesCracked is going to show you how to make the leap.

I love this:
(Regarding min bets from donks) Don't even worry about answering "what is their range?" or "what are you repping?" Their range is the set of all hands that can't call, and you're repping a hand that doesn't care what they have.

I think these are the best videos on the site.
I have a question regarding the 22 hand on JJ3dd board against punketty. You stated that you wanted to c/r his c-bet on that board, why is this good exactly? I think he plays back fairly light(esp IP), since you arent repping too much (which was also the reason you raised his c-bet in a similar situations with the KJ hand on TQ4dd hand). I think c/r'ing there would be very good with QQ+ or perhaps even worse.
Hope you will still produce educational videos even though you stopped playing poker.

Very good vid.
I have one question though. Are you sure your balancing your overbet shoves? You always seem to have the virtual nuts when you do it.

Exec Produceri don't really balance them that much: if i think the guy's calling, i do it for value, if i think he's folding i do it as a bluff. i don't try balancing in these spots because it's a very exploitative play that's based on game flow and my read of my opponents' reaction to me

Movin' On Up was definitely the most helpful series for me recently.
btw your pronounciation of "ich liebe dich" is pretty nice (it's german btw)
