I missed that entire post.

Did you tilt vs. schnibl0r when you played him a few days ago?

That match was pretty intense. I hadn't played much with Simon previously and he ran extremely well in the first few hours of our match while I was trying to get a feel for what his bluff / made hand distribution was when he was check-raising flops, and eventually it got to the point where he would have had to be aware that I was taking some cracks at him when he raised, so when he kept showing up with answers every single time I pushed a couple hands even harder. Simon later had an interview wherein he discussed a few hands where I ran a big bluff into a made hand and turned it into a tirade.

In the Classroom 108 you give us a brief glimpse into solving hands w/ PokerStove). How many different cases did you do before you had a general sense of how to approach each flop given your holding? Also, are you going to continue this particular aspect of the classroom? It seems vital in improving one's game.

Once I get done with the LHE blinds series and the reverse coaching HU LHE series I'll be moving onto some stuff that will have a more mathematical lean. As far as how to use pokerstove to weight ranges, what was in that video was all there was to it. Examples of how to apply it will continue to come up throughout different classroom videos, though I may dedicate a video specifically to providing some examples, since this is not the first time this request has come up.

Imagine you are in a game where your opponent is raising at every opportunity preflop, bet/calling every flop, calling or raising the turn, and folding the river 60% he does not have the betting lead, calling 25% of the time with a pair, and bluff-raising 15% of the time. How does this affect your PF hand range, and what postflop look like?

Up until your turn/river description this is fairly standard fair for HU LHE play, so pre-flop doesn't change much. Your scenario engenders a lot of river bluffing.

What factors into finding:
1) optimal re-bluffing % on a dry board (e.g. J44r)
2) whether or not to free SD on the turn

[/ QUOTE ]

1) If you mean game theory optimal bluffing the short description is: opponents cost to re-bluff you : pot size = GTO bluff%.
2) This is a pretty large topic, but generally raising for a FSD is only an effective sort of play when either a) it has some semi-bluff value or b) your opponent is both very unlikely to barrel with a draw and very likely to have one. Raising for showdown also can have some interesting applications in multi-way pots where either a) the pot is larger, and there's maybe some value in protecting your hand (in small pots it hardly factors) or b) you can knock out some players behind you who may have better hands (often big value).

How many hands did it take for you see your edge vs. a player in your:
1) 5/10 to 30/60 days
2) 50/100 to 200/400 days
3) current games

One of the things I'm very glad I took a lot of time to do over a year back was I put a lot of energy into thinking about how poker "should" be learned, and what would be the most effective way to break it down. The first 15 months or so I spent a lot of time worrying about stuff that didn't matter and asking questions that would never prompt particularly useful answers. The last 12 months or so has been a lot of work, in the sense of all the away-from-table stuff I've been doing, but I've been cooking with gas. While it's certainly been extremely challenging at points I basically ratcheted up through 30/60 to bleeders in time with the growth of my bankroll (which I've been pretty conservative with).
