Best Poker video site - Page 3

Ok, I was thinking poker had gotten even harder than I thought it had for a moment there.

it most likely has gotten even harder then u thought (if u havent played in a while), id say only in the last 6 months 5/10 has changed alot, and compared to 1-2 years ago its almost a different language

but its still possible to be a step ahead of the standards because there are still that chunk of regs that beat the games big 2 years ago that just dont give it up even tho they cant keep up, and aslong as those old farts bumhunts the games its gonna be beatable for a good amount

Well, I didnt play seriously since 2009 I think, but the last time I played 5/10 was in 2008 and that was just shot taking pretty much ^^ I'm obviously assuming I'd have to start over at pretty low stakes if I were to play.

By even harder than I imagined, I didn't so much mean in terms of in absolute skill level, but rather what is possible in terms of winrates. If 2ptbb was like the biggest winner at 5/10 that would be insanely competitive/scary.

ah yeah, i think the gap is closeing in though between the worse and best winners at 5/10, atleast when it comes to 100bb poker, and we'll see how long there even will be a gap.

but the biggest difference now compared to only like 6 months ago is that now pretty much all the regs, even the good ones that usually wanted to start games wont even play 6 handed with 5 other regs, at all. basically if a fish dies every1 instasitsout and even 1/2 games from whta ive heard is getting to that point now that not even 1/2 regs seem to have the ambition to battle it out against eachother to become better and move up stakes

and because of that i think the winrates remain pretty high for the big winners since there is almost no fishfree games running anymore, so 2-4ish bb/100 volume for the good regs (say 8bb/100 regs in fishgames) to grind out from worse regs isnt possible today on most networks

that said i think 4bb/100 still is concidered to be a very good winrate today at 5/10 and probably is the absolute topwinrate for the strongest 12-16 tablers

yeah i've noticed the 1/2 games got a little harder after zoom poker came out. innerspy has been grinding 1/2 now lol, among a few other names i can't remember. They are still pretty soft compared to 2/4+ tho, i think.

Yeh is sucks, I used to never click sitout next BB and try to keep the game going but after getting grimmed for the 1000x time by all the regs and the fact that the game just never continued anyway i got tired of it and now sit out too when I'm pretty sure they will all sit out.

The last I seriously played 5/10 6m NLHE (some 4-5 months ago), Gogol's Nose was probably the biggest longterm winner (only counting serious grinders, not hu players who sometimes joined or like nosebleeders making videos etc). I never got to understand how he was able to crush for like 3ptbb/100 while I barely knew I had him on my tables, way unlike other top regs.

For most though I would say even 1ptbb/100 is a solid winrate.

i assume u guys are talking about 8++ tabling when u mention winrates like 1-2ptbb?

i feel like watching some videos, any tips? dc looks dead

DC new content is incredibly uninspiring --; 0 PLO stuff too.
Bluefire -> no PLO stuff but at least they have NL stuff that looks like it could be possibly interesting? I haven't watched it so no clue if good.
Cardrunners has the most retarded piece of shit DRM and website, almost so bad I can't stand watching anything even though I have a subscription and the content might be good.

Any of these sites have substantial material that would be beneficial towards a now predominantly live player?

i remember DC have a series where live player dicuss alot.

Poker with pants on or sth like this.

there is one new video site coming up soon and I'm realy excited about it
it's called transformpoker and one of the founder/producer there is going to be Reid Young aka shootaa (ex leggopoker coach and a ms/hs beast) who is lately probably the best strategy poster on 2+2
there are actualy few hh reviews on youtube so check them out

so for cash is still BFP even after Galfond left?

Only BFP I've watched that I liked were giggy and galfond. Samo or whatever his name is has gotten good reviews, but I felt was very meh. So if anyone has any good tips for other 6max or HU nlhe video makers I'd appreciate it.

transformpoker has been coming out for over a year now, no real hope it actually comes out.

Can you link shootaa' good thread posts?

well I was listening to shootaa's new interviews and also chated little bit with him and I think site should be up soon ... probably in a month or two
as far as his 2p2 posts go you should just use search option there and filter only his posts
he usualy write 3-5 high quality strategy posts per day. I have saved few links so if you are interested I can pm you them or just add me on skype
also check this out youtube video and youtube video2

As far as recent content goes they are all awful, adam001 made a couple vids for leggo last month but that seems to be that, the best BFP has to offer is leatherass , DC took the biggest nosedive imo and went from the best site to the worst, CR also doesnt have much.

Seems like the best players just dont want to give away their material anymore... Understandable since there are 1000 faggots out there that used the previous given information so that they could button other players and bumhunt

Good thread. DC and BFP def look bad 1.5 years into BF. Leggo doesn't seem to bad but it's def not like the old days.

I'm curious myself since it's been a couple years since I've really studied the game at anything resembling a deep level. All my play lately has been level-1 lol_live play and if/when poker comes back to america I'd like to be in a good spot to know how people are playing lately and how that's differed from 2010.
