Ya know, i'm a little confused by that myself. I've seen you posting a lot, asking a lot of questions, and your replies never sound like your horrible.

It certainly takes a while for some of us to learn this game, and if your fed misinformation even longer.

Whats your volume like?

Any advice for someone who wants to get better at assigning ranges and learning about hand reading?

I typically hear the following suggestions. If your answers could avoid the following it would be greatly appreciated:

1. Play more
2. Pay attention to the table even when you are not in a hand
3. Put opponents on hands even when you are not in a hand

Assuming that someone does all this, what is the best way to get better at estimated what ranges players play in what conditions? I guess I'm wondering if you've read something somewhere or you just have some sort of gut feel for ranges.

How long did you play poker before you got a coach? And, at what stakes did you play?

Well, honestly, my g/f has been home since the end of June and we went to California/Vegas for vacation and since she's been home I've played 11 tournaments, which consist of 4/180s and $1 and $2 large field tournaments. I'm a PXF subscriber and have watched alot of their videos. You're right, my volume is terrible and I need to pick it up, which I plan on doing next week as she is starting medical school on Monday. My BR is sitting at $375 right now.

I have tried playing some 3/45 turbos today, but no luck with them. I just lost AJ < KJs to a flush and took 13th.

- Discuss how poker has changed your perspective on life and concept of value for money;

- Poker players and professional gamblers of any discipline are a shady bunch who contribute nothing to general society. Agree?;

- If you weren't playing poker you would...


Thanks for doing this.

What's your perception of my level of thinking/play when it comes to MTTs? From your limited experience of reading my posts, any glaring spots where I need to improve?

Do you have any good advice for how to dig oneself out of a rut (i.e., I have not had a significant online cash for about 8-9 months now, and it's starting to take a toll on my confidence and bankroll)?

Who was your favorite person to hangout with in vegas. Only 1 name

Why did timex not workout for you yet?

If you had to switch lives for 1 month with a fellow MTTcer who would you choose

Who besides Adam helped your game the most

Who would look better after a bond makeover Thayer or myself.
