I think you have to run good … no doubt about it. But rededicating myself to basics, ABC poker….and trying to widen my depth of understanding by digging into Videos, books and private coaching has made a real difference. Add to these SNGs a 37th in the 3$ rebuy and I am feeling pretty good about my game…I realize these are small stakes, but it feels like I am getting a better understanding of stack considerations, hand value, bet sizing and SB vs. BB play.
I hope this translates into deep tournament runs – at the lowest levels anyways … and slowly allows me to rise up to better tournaments and stakes. This week we begin the Video review and look forward to dedicating myself to PXF….hope all our members are getting something out of the posts.
EXCITING NEWS….I have asked a few top pros to drop by the forum and comment on the occasional hand history – most are very interested in helping out….so get those hands in.
We want to congratulate one of the originals of the poker syndicate – Craig Ripley (ripperc) … Craig has had a great month…building on some recent mid stakes scores – he cracked the final table in two majors. These fields are as tough as they get against top online pros.
His recent finish in the WCOOP Main on line event and tough bust out in the subsequent Sunday Brawl on Tilt - KK vs. AK for seventh…illustrates his expertise in navigating deep runs against some of the best online poker has to offer. Congrats to Craig and his recent success….two Majors – two deep deep runs. Consistently Craig has managed to top on line tournaments….and now is starting to take on some high stakes. He credits much of his success to breaking down the game and coaching by World Class player Mike Leah. Craig has been taking lessons for the last few years and the results speak for themselves.
Craig will provide insight and commentary as we move through this teaching cycle….and Mike Leah has come aboard as our teaching pro.
What did RipperC do with the tournament winnings you ask?
