I know. I still don't know how to fully utilize it. I'm trying to really learn as much as I can about the analysis features so I can spot leaks and adjust my game play.

Careful with trusting it too much until you have a lot of hands played with people. It can be misleading. Verneer has a real life example of just that in that ebook I sent you.

yeah i initially doubled up in HU but took a dip when i flopped top pair with K9 on a 789 board, he bet every street which led me to believe i might have been beat. the turn was a 2 and the river was a 9 and he bet 3.50 i couldn't bring myself to fold with trips even though i knew he had it and sure enough he turns over JT. im still up about 12 bucks though. im going to move up to .10/.25 later tonight about to play a SNG.

Well to play at 25NL you should probably have a roll of somewhere around $1,250. I don't think you are there yet. Yeah definitely take a break and play a tournament or two.

Yep. .25/.50 would be 50NL .50/1.00 would be 100NL. I have always been taught that you should have a minimum of 30 BIs to play a level effectively and 50 BIs is better.

I've been watching all the back episodes of the Big Game lately. Joe Cada is Hellmuth bad at cash games. He's steady losing every time he gets on the table. Wonder if he has any of that 9 million left.



cada was a winning player in mid stakes heads up cash and high stakes heads up sitngos, not to mention all levels of mtts, online before the main event win...that is way more telling of what kind of player he is vs a few tv shows...just sayin

interesting back story...joe cada applied to mttbacking . com a few months before he shipped the main event...i know this b/c i was backed by that site at the time and know the owner(thechemist83)...the night cada won the 9 mil, chemis sent my buddy a fb message, it was a copied link of cada's application to the site, and the rejection, with "fml" written under it...

im pretty sure he went on to get backing from sheets and johnny bax, so they were the lucky ones to ship the 4.5mill in backing winnings...

Funny story, but none of those games you mentioned him excelling at are cash games. Hellmuth is a great tourney player but sucks at Cash Games. I was just drawing the comparison between the two. Not everyone is good at both. There are cash players who can't play tournaments.

I jumped up to .10/.25 too soon. Going to deposit another 30 and stay at .5/.10 for a while longer.
