Great blueprint , very entertaining , i could only imagine what an outsider to poker would be thinking while listening to this , here you are talking about being broke for 8 months not been able to pay for a cookie then a table pops in and you just happen to win 40k! , its madness

You suggest learning NLHE and PLO due to their current profitablilty, would you suggest learning other combinations for other reasons? Do you beleive that some games lend themselves to particular skills or traits, or that learning particular games can help benfit one another? Would you suggest learning more than two games at a time?

Hehe this was a very entertaining video to listen to. On the one hand its pretty inspiring to hear that such a complete degenerate (no offence) got there eventually after taking it serious, and on the other hand its pretty funny to hear about for example the cookie story.
Things I will take away the most from this are how you describe the current games and the best way to learn to beat a new stake. I really dont pay much attention to other regs and just kinda play my hands against them. however I play .25/.50 on a smaller site so the amount of regulars in my game is very doable to study. Gonna take that one up soon.

One of the best blueprint videos so far. . .
FWF- what do you think about the future of the NLHE games if there's not legislation? How do you think the games will get if it becomes legalized/regulated in the U.S.?
thanks for the awesome vid

^. I also would like to elaborate and ask how you would go about learning PLO if you are a NLH 6max grinder @ 1/2 and 2/4 (6+ years) and have never touched PLO?

Awesome Blueprint!!!
Thanks for sharing the personal side of your poker story. Also, it is nice to know the story behind the screen-name.
I liked the reinforcement about studying (and understanding) the regs away from the table.

Awesome vid as always
How would you go about analyzing other regs in 6max nlhe? Would you go over every hand of theirs that has gone to showdown and write out leaks as they occur to you, or would you filter for specific situations?

I think you should master a couple games before getting into others. Unless you plan on playing a lot of big live games where fish dictate game types, I don't really think there's much need to extend your expertise to niche games like 08 or 2-7

I'm very worried about the games in the future without regulation and I think that legalization+regulation, although short-term probably bad for the games, would be amazing. This is assuming that entrenched casino interests don't basically earn monopoly licenses and charge exorbitant rakes. In other words, who knows!

Play a bunch of shallow PLO at stakes lower than what you play. Do this while watching vids. Vids+getting a lot of experience with all-in equities will give you the skill set to start playing full-stacked IMO
