So, if you hang around BCP freerolls you have probably seen some games offered from bestpokercoaching.com.
I thought I'd check it out and get access to the freeroll. I subscribed and watched intro video and a second video. Both videos I believe the links were emailed to me.
The first video covered 3 main concepts needed to win at poker.
Put in the hours, get a coach, and game selection.
The second video was more on game selection. I could summaryize the 17 minute video by saying you need a least one big fish in 6 man max ring game to feed off of to be able to beat the rake and make profit long term.
I found the way the content was present was a bit funny, as he basically was saying if you don't follow this then you should be kicked out of our club etc. It basically suggested you needed to find at least one fish that losing 50 BB or more for every 100 BB they posted. Suggesting that if that one players losses is spread evenly across the table you should beat the rake. Logistically it makes sense.
I agree that finding fish is important, you must also learn how to isolate them and take advantage of them.
The key takeaway for me was they were using tracking software to label and find the fish.
I really feel if you are going to be good at this game you need to be able to read your tables and figure out player styles and ranges by observing. This is a skill that you need for both live and online play. When you sit down at a live table it is not like you can plug in all the hands into tracking software to help you now are you?
If you weren't so focused on finding the fish, maybe you would have more time to focus on playing a better poker.
I'm just getting back into the game recently. I don't really use tracking software. Some of the sites I play at don't even work with the tools out there.
What are you thoughts...
Are you going to rely more on tracking software over you own instincts?
