Hey Dan - great vid. As always your thought process is revealing. Thanks for sharing

two questions

1) what apps do you use for preflop and postflop ICM

2) what microphone do you use it sounds really good. I want to start recording my play more (you can DM if you don’t want to get into it in the comments)

Lastly that’s a great screen name

Hey Nathan great vid

I wanted to add some reasons people play poker and introduce my thought process. I’m curious what other people think as well.

1 - they have a gambling problem. Some of these folks start with competition or financial incentives as the driver, or use camaraderie as an alibi. M

2 - cash in, cash out creates some opportunity to shuffle gray market and black market money around and basically launder it.

3 - growth/improvement. I think it’s probably fair to call this a part of competition.

As for me, I’m a serious rec. I think competition is the best driver, but even that creates problems - when I get tilty, I have something to prove. So it winds up being a combination of competition, growth/improvement and finances.

Hey Hunter, loved the hand analysis in this video.

The strung out on red bull reflecting on life quote hits hard - that can be a long drive home for me.

Two related thoughts with questions about your behavioral analysis

1 - do you spend a lot of energy/planning getting to spots where you are locked in on an opponent's behavior, either against a specific opponent or in general? Meaning, getting them talking, or just knowing a player or players are really out of line in particular spots?

2 - How do you review this stuff? Do you review this stuff in a more granular or extensive way? What are some tips for studying opponent behavior? How about reviewing my own behavior?

Hey thejericho2 - still loving the course.

With opponents who are 4 betting too little or too much, or using unorthodox sizings, how do you adjust?

Enjoying the course so far, great job

Hey Jan Philippi you asked about supplement regimens.

The two I use are
- theanine
- a seasonal affective disorder lamp to start the day if I can’t get outside or it is dismal

Hey Gary, nice content.

You do get a ton of hands in the 6 table format, but it is not the easiest to follow the action, because the size of the tables is small and the tempo is fast. It was a lot better in the second half of the video when the action slowed down and you went to 5 tables

This video was fantastic. Thanks gentlemen!

Dan Smith i would love to hear more about the topic of how to manage your range in spots like you describe at 21:50

It’s a spot I see the winning pros/regs do really well and really poorly

Great vid Luke. Maybe one of BVB, or comparing BVB and OOP open, BTN flat?

Great vid

Dan - how do you plan in terms of finding unstudied spots

Late timing but great vids my dudes.

Justin - I’ve enjoyed all of your videos so far. I think the more theoretical approach is great too.

Great video!

EluSiVeMark I really enjoyed this video — the way you talk through how opponent ranges and responses is really helpful

Another great video dan

Great video. I would love to see more high stakes reviews, and how you incorporate theory + in game trends into decision making.

In the environment I play in, there are only a few people who play across different formats. I was wondering:

• when did you decide to start incorporating PLO into your rotation?

• if the attitude is different in the high roller environment, and people play more games?

Callum Ross excellent thanks

Hey Dan,

Another great video. Thanks.

A few questions -

1 - A lot of the spots we are discussing here are close, or at least to me they are close. What do you do when you identify a blunder?

2 - What do you think of GTO Wizard AI vs PIOsolver?

3 - How do you account for exploit/deviations in looking in sims?

3a - Have you played around with incentives in PIO in order to look at this stuff?

Great vid so far.

You seem very confident in assigning ranges to the fun player you iso in this hand around 15 minute mark

Are you able to reveal your thought process around this in general?

Jan Philippi just thinking about this a little harder, lowered a barrier for me, as always I’m grateful for your help

Hey Jan Philippi great video

Here is my first pass on a tilt profile:

Thoughts
- “I got outsmarted, this is humiliating”
- “I can adjust”
- “I shouldn’t lose to these fish”
- “I can grind through this”
- Narrator: “He couldn’t”

Emotions
- Frustration —> Anger
- Embarrassment (even humiliation)
- Desperation
- (after) Disappointment
- (after) Sadness

Physical signs
- brow knitting - tense feeling
- Hunched forward posture - engaged but not purposeful and dignified
- Queasy feeling in my stomach
- (Emotionally) heavy hearted
- Sneer on face

Behavior
- Acting too fast
- Targeting players who seem weak and over-adjusting/mis-adjusting - Increasing aggression, Stationing, Thinking “the opposite” about bet sizes and not giving credit to big bets
- Playing an extra table or two
- (Hard to explain) I lose composure and this leads to inability to filter context

Great first video!

Also, great first vid, can’t wait to see the next part

Hey Justin,

Two questions:

1 - you have one of the most unique color schemes I’ve ever seen for a solver output interface. How did you come across it/choose it

2 - about 5 minutes before the end of the video, you open K7s and get called. Flop 742tt with no backdoor for you. You point out that on the flop, the solver basically doesn’t care what size you use with K7. You spoke a little about reasons to use one size or another. Is there a general process you use in spots like these to simplify, or is it a case by case basis?

Great vid thanks!

Great first video Dan.

Around the 30’ mark. In the “combination of two ideas” part of the video, you talked about looking for nodes in the tree where you can really put pressure on the opponents. For instance, you pointed out that after small bet IP and BB XR on 952, the BTN should 3b 10% and this is a tough node to find the right plays for a lot of opponents.

I’ve also heard this is a thing in chess - all things being equal make a move that makes the opponent squirm.

How do you “make spots”?
- what are you looking for when you review the solve? How do you find these spots?
- what are you looking for in your opponent? meaning, are these players you know pretty well who have leaks, people you’ve seen commit a big error at the table, or just a player who by tendency will make an unforced error there (unknown guy at a high roller, I guess)?
- is this a thing that you spend a lot of energy on refining, or is it something you’ve always been able to do?

Great video! Thanks Hunter!

Can you use the incentive feature to nodelock the entire tree to play passive? Or is it just one street at a time?

Hey Jungle

I would love to see you talk about live reads and how you would adjust on the spot to these player deviations
