I know you have asked Andrew but a small consideration came to mind when I read this.
If you have been playing 2/4 for 5 years it means you have improved a ton since you first played at that level. Perhaps all you need is speed up your learning process that's already happening so you get ahead of the curve and can play higher levels?


Gotta agree with this. Skill difference in 2/4 to 5/10 is similar to that of 1/2 and 2/4. Regs are slightly more better in fundamentals, bet sizing, game theory etc.

If you have been winning in 2/4 for last 5 years, you are already a good player yourself and probably more than ready. There's no downside to moving up as there's games available to rebuild if your shot goes bad. For my self, I've improved the most when there's a challenge and there's no bigger challenge in poker than moving up in stakes.

last summer i had to do a trivial front-end with js and boy did that suck. so good luck with it, I've heard some people like developing JS so I guess it's possible to learn to like it.

Javascript is a weird language with many quirks and gotchas but you'll get to like it. It's a good time to start out as a web developer and also bad time, because while there are so many resources for self-learning, it seems like everyone and their mom and dad is a web dev. I honestly think the field is oversaturated ever since these social networks and mobile apps emerged. But, if you combine basic web development with something else like encryption technologies, data analysis, algorithms, etc to make a better skillset, I think you can stand out from most developers.

oh and nice car. I'm jelly

I wouldn't recommend using the same PF strat and you may want to go little tighter especially vs BU. So far from my experience in 1/2, it seems like the biggest mistake regs are making is sizing bets in 3b pots geometrically on flops that shouldn't be bet this way. My range will not do well postflop if you are betting geometrically.

Any possible tips on where to find more information about this?

As a starter, check out some of the training videos produced by higher stakes NL players. Zaza would be a great place to start. Another would be getting hold of lengthy database of high stakes NL and going through the 3bet pots on spots the population agrees.

I have a question
Were you working with the concept of R at all preflop, and what did you find?

93% Sure!

Also what's your opinion on PokerSnowie's preflop strategy and using snowie in general

93% Sure!

Why are you coding? What kind of salary do you expect to get? Unless you're a world class coder, your salary is probably ~100k at best. If you can lose 250k at highstakes you must be a millionaire. Invest that money wisely and live off the returns. Also, teach me poker???

Never heard of the term concept of R. Is that a fancy word of saying realizing your equity?

I've tried the trial and I think it's an okay tool to review your hands. I don't like it personally and think it's whatever.

As for snowie's preflop strategy, I dislike everything about it. I think it's too tight, and don't like it's complete disrespect for suited connectors.

To tell you the truth, I don't know what I'm doing as well Entry coders earn 100k btw. Bro from last co-hort just got an offer for 130. He went from earning 60 as a product manager to crushing the bootcamp and landing a job for 130 all in 4months. Obviously 100k is gonna be a lot less than what I'm used to making but I'm fine with that for now.

The way I see it is, I've been playing poker for almost 10 years, and I've been very successful at it. Now I want to do something else and coding happened to be one of the things I wanted to learn.

YES!
Did you use it for preflop ranges and how?

93% Sure!

Haha, sorry to disappoint you but I didn't independently come up with my preflop range. I use the same ranges most regulars use and tweak it accordingly depending on how player pool moves and who I'm playing against.

Postflop is a lot more important than your preflop range IMO(although it goes hand in hand). A lot of your lab work should be done on your play in SB/BB. The objectivity of the game itself is to win the blinds and how well you protect your blinds is what differentiates the regs.

Any advices on software to use to study and analise hands besides the basic HM and PT?

Wich ones did you use and liked it?

I feel i'm a few years lagging behind in this area.

I feel you minion, I was in the same page as well since all my learning came from pattern recognition from playing and solving hand solution with friends that never went into detail.

Combonator would be a good place to start. You can open multiple combonators and run it for range vs range which I don't think any other software allows you to do. End game would be CRev though, and once you get around how to use it, you can solve any hand and get off the computer feeling like you got good work done.

As for the new and coming GTO solvers, I don't have much to say as I don't have much experience with it. Smuft seems to regard it highly which probably means something.

I believe GTO solvers > CRev

Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy 

ClouD87   Italy. Nov 16 2015 16:18. Posts 524

Would you please elaborate? What GTO solvers say is basically which sizes perform better with your range (super useful, especially on the flop), how much less % you can defend compared to minimum defense frequency when you are facing a bet from a stronger range (asymmetrical situations) and which hands should be bet or raised at higher frequency for value and protection. Rest seems just unemployable mixed strategies that are not viable in real life situations. Solving with CREV or Flopzilla+HoldEQ or combonator should be complementary to using GTO solvers, not interchangeable.

Okay I have another one
What's your opinion on playing Zoom/masstabling and playing 4-5 tables and focusing on each of them?
Also how was scheduling important for you, and did you have rigid time management?
And what were your study/play rations overall

93% Sure!

Zoom/masstabling depends on how well you multi-task. I had a year when I 30-40tabled 2/4-5/10 full ring and it was probably the worst decision I've made. Not only did I not make SNE, my winrate was mediocre and I realized too late that your learning through playing goes out the window when youre splitting so much of your brain power.

No one knows yourself better than you do, it's best to take an analyticsl approach to capitalize on your hourly and future hourly.


Also how was scheduling important for you, and did you have rigid time management?
And what were your study/play rations overall

I think Ive said this before but I was a terrible boss to myself. Ive probably played only dozen sessions or so on Friday and Saturday out of my 10 year online career. When I added Sunday to my weekly grind after seeing my buddy shipping Sunday mil, I final tabled two that month and ultimately chopped the last one for 280k. That was my record month of 350k and Black Friday followed 2 weeks after.

My study to play ratio was probably close to something like 70-30 study and play. This had more to do with all aspects of poker consuming my daily life(coaching, staking, friends being poker players etc).

One thing great I learned from poker is how important it is to prepare yourself and make the decision prior to the action. To give an extreme example that can't be applied to us, if you are a women being groped, most would not react because they are conditioned for passivity. Poker taught me that things like this should be conciously decided in advance so you would not lose precious time to decision making.
