Stoxpoker or Cardrunners or somewhere else?

Hello.

Apologies if this in the wrong place.

I was considering joinging one of these sites but wasnt really sure which. I think Stox is marginally cheaper but Cardrunners has a little more content from what I can gather.

I used to be a member at CR a long time ago and I thought it was decent value for money but let my membership expire a while back. Obv the price has increased a lot since, but has the content increased in the same fashion?

Im mainly interested in who has the best content for microsmall stakes to upto maybe $1/2NL 6 max, as thats what I play. All the high stakes stuff is pretty lost on me tbh.

Opinions?

Cheers.

when brian townsend was in the CR chat recently he said over 90% of CR members are 200nl and below players. I found this kinda weird because most of their cash videos from their top pros are in 5/10 and higher. I asked him what strat etc. does he think could be picked up in 5/10-25/50 videos and be applied to 200nl and below but he did not anwser. I think the videos are great on cardrunners but im sure other sites are better for lower stakes players.

Do you want starting hand charts and standard lines printed out for you?

CardRunners do have small stakes pros that do videos as well. Yes, it's silly to watch a Green Plastic or Townsend video and try to apply it to your 1/2 NL game. However, if you're interested in ever moving up and learning advanced concepts, then you will realize quickly the value in the high stakes videos. Some of the hand reading and analysis makes it worth watching no matter what stakes you play.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but there are no "lol secret strats" for small stakes games. Brian probably didn't answer your question because it's completely retarded. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

It doesn't really matter if you can't apply to .50/1 what you learn from CTS's 25/50 video, in terms of exploiting opponents and such. What you should get from the video is his thought process on every hand, and then you can use that thought process to make your own strategy to beat your 100NL or 200NL opponents.

yes im well aware of that, fruitypro,sixpeppers etc. etc. are all very good pros and their videos are great.

lol of course everyone is interested in moving up. and i watch all the videos on cardrunners and try to take anything i can from it but if you are trying to say that watching CTS playing 25/50 against Ozzy will me more beneifical to the majority of cardrunners members than if Aba,GP,Stinger etc. made lower stakes videos since that is what the majority play than that is hilarious.

"Sorry to rain on your parade, but there are no "lol secret strats" for small stakes games.

you seem to adding words to my original post. i didnt mention "secret" strats to beat games. what i was trying to convey was the fact that the top pros at cardrunners could improve peoples games in a much more superior and efficemt fashion if they made more videos to cater to their target audience and member base.

the whole point of my original post wast to advise the op that there may be better sites than cardrunners for lower stakes videos.

"Brian probably didn't answer your question because it's completely retarded."

of course insulting people always helps to prove your point so ill try. my question is not retarded and if you wernt such a highstakes fanboy groupie and took a second to stop whacking off to pictures of ABA and took a second to think about things with a unbiased opinion you might actually figure something out how retarded YOU sound.
