Demondoink : I appreciate your answer, ty. Very good insights.
I'm studying a lot and will definitely get regular coaching when I'm ready (soon).
I play NL100, some NL200 but tend to spew a few hands on a session, generally destroying my winrate. I need to fix that mental leak first.

It was a more theoretical question, that I can't answer as I'm not a coach.
I just wanted to validate some numbers in a spreadsheet to compare the value of studying or getting coached to playing instead. I would use it to demonstrate that value to some players questioning it.

I know it's +EV and I know most everyone would benefit from getting coached (general rule, even outside poker)

I should have used another starting metric : a starting winrate of 3bb/100 for a NL50/100 player.
How much would you say an average dedicated student of yours would increase his winrate after 20-50 hours of coaching ?
Just an estimate would be appreciated, maybe in pm to avoid useless proof requests ;-) .

"whoever likes this message!"

Genuine question :
By how much do you think a serious, dedicated player at NL50 / NL100 (winning let's say 5bb/100) could improve his winrate by :
- studying by himself 50 hours of high quality content videos
- studying the same 50 hours with a good coach (maybe 25 hours coaching and 25 hours personal follow up study) ?

Looking for a very rough guestimate :-)

The goal of poker seems to be to take other peoples money.

yeah, like stealing; we are such mean people !

Thanks for the answer, that makes sense.
I play higher buyin tournaments , one to 4 at a time, because they are smaller fields. they they last around 6-7 hours, but taking sats into account, it should add up closer to 8 hours.

I need to reconsider my approach in light of the benefits you pointed out.

Ty !

bigger returns, less variance : very interesting and useful observation !

However, you didn't show your Return On Time spent.
Did you check it ?

These big fields tournaments are also energy draining.

very good and thorough presentation on 3Betting.
Now, I'm gonna plug my 3Betting leaks :-)

Very interesting demonstration of thresholds hands adjustments vs different player types.
Ty !

HTF do you open a .bin file ??
Can you share a more common format ?

So, that was the first episode of the new series : "Shower Thought Principles"
When do you take another shower ?

Congrats !

Did you change your opinion recently or do you think RIO made another mistake hiring you ?

I understand; what I should have pointed you to, is the link they leave in the description to try it first by yourself. You don't have to look at their solution ;-)
Here's the link to the sudoku itself in that video :

Very funny indeed !

I relocated to Spain, lol.
I did some of these home games too, but otherwise, I played in legal local clubs (outside casinos); I think they're not allowed to do cash games though.

Thanks for sharing your DB analysis, great work ! (from a fellow Belgian)

150 bucks is a steal.
I'm about 50 % into it and skimmed throught the rest.
Very thorough and well organized course.
Plus you have solid homework at the end of most videos to make you think further.
You can't go wrong and should recoup the price very soon.

Nice addition !
I snap bought it; no need to check if it's a quality content, as I'm sure it's up to par with his other videos.
I'm sure to get the price back easily on a few dozens MTTs, as I have some serious leaks to plug and some concepts that I don't apply well enough.

Thanks !

:-)

of course there is !

Cheap and fast to develop, and very useful, as printing forum pages for reference is a real PITA.

He will see all the stats relative to the hands you gave him. No more, no less.

I just took a quick look at lecture notes "8. Decision Making", presented by Matt Hawrilenko.

It looks basically like a more graphical version of a previous course he gave some years ago.

I covers some fundamentals of GT like the AKQ game (presented here by Sauce123), the basic GT equilibrium formulas at the river and the basics of exploitative play.

Impressive performance by belgian Pierre Neuville !
