Hey Sean, thanks for the reply and for the kind words.

I absolutely agree with you that a lot of the concepts discussed should not be applied to the microstakes games. From my days there, I can safely say that just playing an abc style and not giving your opponents credibility as a thinking player is going to work out better for you, given the passive nature of the games. Hopefully there is still things to be taken from watching the videos, especially if you are looking to move up the stakes, but as always with any form of learning it is vital to question the advice given and how it should be applied to your style of play and the games you play in. A lot of the strategy given would be misapplied in lower stakes games, however you can still pick things up from watching them and some of it may be applied to certain player types that you encounter. 

I would say to everyone watching my videos, and any training videos, not to simply accept everything that is said as fact and try and copy the plays you see, but to use the videos as a learning tool, to give you things to think about and to question and to give you a differing perspective other than your own. Not everything I do is going to be right, I still make mistakes, and I play a quite differing style than a lot of other winning players, so trying to emulate it may not work well with your style or the games you play in. The main aim of watching videos is to increase your understanding of the game, so that when you play and different situations arise, your understanding of the game and ability to think critically about different situations is going to result in you making good decisions. 

@Sam - I agree with you completely, and that's coming from a microstakes player. I've personally cut down the amount of videos I watch and try to think about strategy as a whole and how it might do at the games I play. For example, it is recommended to 3b a lot, especially good connected hands like 6789 as they do better HU than MW. However, at my games even when 3b the pots are often 3 to 4-handed with little fold equity post flop. This has caused me to simply give up on more hands post flop and just go for value whenever I have strong made hands or draws. Playing like that would be exploited heavily at higher stakes. This also happens to be an area in which I still struggle a little bit. I'm still somewhat new to PLO and need to shake my sometimes over-aggressive post-flop play from NLHE 6m as it often just ends up with me donating money away.
