DC members/video review

If you're a dc member, and you're playing 25nl or just starting 50nl (6max), strongly recommend watching Ghost: Ambtndplyr #2 video.

My basic style is what's known as a "bad TAG" - i.e., I'm extremely predictable, don't change gears effectively, and play very tight. This style can be effective, I think, even at 100nl imo. But it's never going to generate monster winrates. I've been looking to develop a looser style - watching a lot of BalugaWhale, Grindcore, and other vids, reading, thinking, etc.

This video has a very nice discusssion of 3betting - why, what to look for situationally, HUD stats, etc. The presenter's voice/presentation skills are pretty dry (don't fall asleep in the first 8 minutes, deal w his accent, it gets better), but watching his play and thought process is great. 2tabling 50nl, he runs around 40/40 w a 25% 3bet. He also discusses other topics that are useful/good/informative, but this was the topic I got the most out of. It's pretty basic and doesn't require alot of prior knowledge of 3betting - but it's a very good discussion.

I immediately played a session after watching where I ran significantly looser than my normal game (normally 17 VPIP, played 28 VPIP) and 3bet like crazy (40% on one table) - lots of fun, and the session went well - watching how players react (badly) was enlightening as well!

The dog is heads up video series is worth the price of admission all by itself btw... and I don't care if you never sit down at a heads up table, it will benefit anyone.

Tks for recommendation, halfway through first vid, great stuff so far (and he's barely started talking about HU lol)...

That first video in the series by dogishead is the best, bar none, video I've ever seen on poker. Wow. Thanks.

The stud videos there are very good. The stud hi-low is ok, too.
