Video: Entity and the Road to Robusto

[DeucesCracked]

A few months ago, I started a series of videos called the Road to Robusto. Here's what I had to say about it then:

I know a lot of microlimit players today look at the online poker landscape and wonder if it's feasible to beat the games, or what sort of path is the right path to take to ascend through the limits. It's certainly not as easy of a world as it was before, but it's still far from impossible for a microlimit player who has aspirations of playing medium-stakes or higher within a reasonable timeframe. Through bonus hunting, rakeback, and most importantly, lots and lots of grinding, it's still quite reasonable to expect to be able to turn microdeposits into big rewards…over the next few months I'll be posting lots of Deucescracked.com videos demonstrating the skills necessary, specifically at these lower limits, to crush the games and to move higher.

Over the months since then, I've done several videos on the general topic of moving up limits and playing in microlimit games. I've worked a starting bankroll of 380BB at .5/1 to what is now around 350BB for $2/4 by playing, getting rakeback, and collecting a deposit bonus, and have talked about a lot of basic concepts along the way.

Here's a recent video that I did that was a bit of a departure for me, where I tried to talk about basic plays at limits that aren't necessarily the most aggressive:

I took a lot of time in a lot of my decisions in this one, and there was at least one fold that tilted the hell out of Deathdonkey when I told him about it. It's always tough playing at a limit where you don't have much of a read on the players around you, and this was meant to tackle the question of how you play when all you've got to rely on is numbers (which is still a lot more than nothing at all).

Post away if you have any comments or questions -- I'll be checking in regularly to answer them, whether it's about a hand I played or anything else related to the video or the Road to Robusto series as a whole. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
