What is your opinion on WSOP - seems like lower hands beat out better hands. Is there some rule about hole cards versus what is shown on the table. What is your best recommendation(s) for sites for beginners?
As a recreational player, I have become enamored with WSOP tourneys. My local cash game is $1/2 and I'm a consistent winner. Only risk $300 at a sitting. Played a circuit event in February on vacation and cashed. Played another a few weeks ago targeting the $1700 Main Event and won a spot via a $250 Sat. Finished near the bubble. My modest bankroll is $5K and growing. Plenty of local games I avoid due to BM. My "shots" in the future will be targeted at a tourney every 3-4 months. I don't live near a casino, and I can generally replace/save over three months $2.5K directed for them.
Hi. Thanks for great content. When I heard u say: "I am more of BR-nit, so I use around 40 buyins", I just realized how concervative I am with my BR. I have 27k and play mostly NL 200 and NL 100. I have solid numbers to verify that I crush NL 100, while being breakeven, and maby a slight loser at NL 200. I want to work on this aspect of poker, taking shots etc. What strategy would you recommend for me? The highest stake on my site is NL 400. I play 6-8 tables, only 6-max. Thanks a lot
The lower amount of buy-ins you have for a stake the more aggresive your BRM strategy is. Your risk of ruin is much higher carrying lower amount of buy-ins making it aggressive. ROR is there for lower with more buy-ins that can absorb downswings making it more conservative.
Thank so much, very informative even though ypu talk very fast, I was able to follow but not sure a novice can follow without "rewind" button fail... Great job though, you're an analyst! *not a speaker*
This video has a big problem that most instructional videos on RU-vid have and that’s assuming beginners already know something. You mentioned “buy-in” more than anything else in this video and I don’t even have any idea what a buy-in is.
@@MicroGrinderPokerSchool when you say 20 buy ins or 50 buy ins do you mean 20 or 50 big blinds or 20 or 50 actual buy ins as my assumption is that 1 buy in minimum would be approx (usually) 20 big blinds
Thank you for this valuable info, I have recently purchased your courses and I am looking forward to delve into them all. You have already given us food for thought :)
You're very welcome! Glad to see you purchased my courses. I hope you find them valuable...and don't hesitate to ask questions about the courses on the Poker School forum. Cheers!
