hi, i play the 20 $ reg speeds these days and after some nl50 hu shots which i totally messed up, ive lost confidence in everything i do.ive watched some videos here, but im a bit lost with what i should watch. theres so many instructors and so much vids, its hard to choose.i know that there isnt an answer like: "watch these and youll beat the 20s easily".but thats still exactly what im asking :D good vids for improving and beating the 20 d level? thanks if anyone takes the time to recommend something !
oh and by the way i have standard mebership.
Hey leipuri!What are you talking about? There is an answer to beat the 20s easily! It's called Mr. Cog Dissonance! :DBut seriously, if you want to retrieve your confidence, I really advise you to watch all his red speed videos (full tilt). Cog Dissonance plays a small-ball style (limp a lot of buttons, wait for spots when there is a big chance he is ahead etc..). Moreover, small-ball poker has smaller variance which should be perfect if you are trying to trust in your game again. His style is very different from most instructors but I really think you should take a look. His post-flop play is very good and he shows you how to deal with different opponents (tight, agressive, loose etc..) and suggest some strategies you can implement right away at the low/mid stakes (wounded fish anyone? ^^)Cheers!
hi, thanks for the answer :) i have watched some Cog Dissonance vids, but i feel kind of stupid limping lots of hands :D lol, dunno, maybe it would be good to try to learn that style of play.got some confidence back from a microballer mtt that i played in boredom and shipped (+800 $) :D. total lottery, but still nice.
You don't need to limp to gain value from his videos. Watch the way he identifies his opponents postflop and how he adjusts to them.It's the same if you limp and love Cog's videos, you shouldn't ignore other instructors that raise more often preflop. Postflop is often where most of the $$ is really at, at least until you're shorter stacked, and even there, I see big winners with heavy preflop variations in their games (from limping most buttons to raising every single vs 95% of players).
