    OP: Beginner to Master

    If I bet as a bluff, I should be thinking "am I getting better hands to fold? Is it likely that he will fold x% of the time to a y sized bet to make it +EV?". If I bet for value, I should be thinking "am I getting worst hands to call? Am I ahead of enough of his range that this is a good value bet?".

    I am Queens Blvd.
    I was wondering where the hell you went. Open the book and start studying. However, there's no reason not to jump back to remember the feeling of stacking fish. 2NL is unbelievably and you should be able to own it with ease.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    i seriously thought you were dead.

    people need to write their username and password in their wills and get a family member to log on and post deaths in the commune so we know what's going on.

    or my personal favorite; Xpaand is the hero....i will not tell you who the villian is.... (just some random 2NL fish)

    UTG+1 ($1.99)
    MP1 ($0.73)
    MP2 ($3.95)
    CO ($0.87)
    Button ($3.85)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 7, 7
    UTG bets $0.08, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.08, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.07, 1 fold

    Flop: ($0.26) K, 9, 7 (3 players)

    Turn: ($0.62) 5 (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $0.40, Hero raises to $1.99 (All-In), UTG calls $1.59

    The best kind.

    Yea, I realized what that sounded like after I sent it. Then I was like, "fuck it, no one will care." You sir, done proved me wrong.

    So my thread on my return has taken a dark turn. Hmm. Haha, anyways...

    I'm thinking of getting a subscription to Grinderschool.com cause I wanna start learning through videos at first this time around. I know a lot of people on here have been on it so I'm gonna ask your opinions on it and if there's a different site I should try instead.

    GS is def worth the price of admission. If you're still at 10nl or below, just get the micro subscription imo. Unless of course you grind sngs as well, at which case it would be a good idea to get the full subscription. When I was struggling at 2nl (Not even kidding, I was ) the GS vids helped bring me out of the slump. Jym's lecture vids are especially good.

    I did the microstakes at GS (thanks to slevin really) and it were very helpful. Spenda, Jyms, and Coderedz were very helpful. And for $10 you just can't beat it.
