You Germans, always so worried about your English.
No problems, let's have some more.

#2 xero100, 10 Nov 09 17:02

really liked your video waiting for more
its my first live video that I watched ALL
you english good for me as long I understand everything you say so for me your english was fine

#3 Sinnology, 10 Nov 09 18:43

Just watched it.
Great play and some really good information sharing.
I love your explanations about playing in certain positions and why.
I don't see why your English should be a problem here, I didn't ran onto nothing I didn't understand, so guess its ok .

Hope to see your new video soon.

Regards

#4 chuderz, 10 Nov 09 19:02

i like your advice, im english myself and understood you perfectly so in future you've no need to worry about that.

#5 Fagin, 11 Nov 09 14:11

Hi, thanks for the video. No problems with your english, I understood everything. Nice to see some honest reactions to situations that occur - I often react the same way lol.
The adaptions to SSS were clearly outlined and explained and I will be using them from now on myself.
I look forward to watching your next video.

#6 airfil666, 11 Nov 09 15:40

Nice video. Your English is OK so I hope to see more videos from you.

#7 CRI4BRA, 11 Nov 09 21:13

your english is fine, thank you.

#8 peanutter, 15 Nov 09 23:19

Your english is good. I saw that at the tables you were playing, there were more than 2 short stacks. Isn't short stack strategy supposed to be not profitable on those tables?

#9 gedwashere91, 16 Nov 09 23:29

Yeah dude, if you think your english is bad, you should hear my german :P

I have a few questions:
1. Do you use the Stack Size : Initial Raise Size ratio chart for re-raises? Because I've seen some people using that. Its slightly more nuanced than the old "TT+ AK shove, all else fold" because it takes into account how pot committed you are..
2. You seemed to be using a different Starting Hands Chart, because ATs isn't on the SHC for late position... Is yours a newer one?

#10 DarkZonk, 05 Dec 09 22:18

hey guys,

i'm very sorry i wasnt able to answer earlier, just because i never realized this video got released^^.

I'm glad u were able to understand my english and i hope i will produce some more english videos in the future.

to answer your questions:

@8: On NL10 there are a lot of players with 20BB stacks, but most of them dont play short stack strategy. If they dont follow the strategie, it wont matter which stack size they have, because u only can win 20bb. Thats why it is important to make a lot of notes. If there are more than 2 reals shortstacks u shouldnt play this table as long as there are hundreds of other and better tables.

@9:
There were 3 versions of SHC

Version 1 was the version with the ratio thing.
Version 2 was the version with AJ777 in late position, without mid pairs and so on.

Version 3(the current one) is with midpairs and AT in late positions.

The video was recorded during the time version 2 was the actual SHC.

kind regards,
DarkZonk

#11 zorgar, 10 Dec 09 07:31

Uve asked for some commentaries whether the viewers liked ur video or not. Here i am ;). I really liked it cause uve mentioned some rules i didnt know like minraise equals 2limpers. Please go on with more vids like this which r going ahead the shc.

greets

#12 IgnoramusJ2, 22 Dec 09 13:18

I approve with everyone about your english- its great. But when i was waching this video, i was wondering about your profit made in the video. Wasint that a minus :D i know that its not the most important thing, because the idea is to show the tactic, but still i wanted to hear it :)

#13 teufelfish, 22 Dec 09 13:43

The Video is nice, but ur voice is to loud rec. . If u just adjust the mic it would be mouch better:)

#14 DarkZonk, 22 Dec 09 16:15

quite hard to regulate that ;)

i think its easier if u just reduce the volume ;)

#15 wtfdude, 30 Dec 09 19:47

Hi, english was ok. I understood everything. There were some interesting topics about limpers. I try to add them to my SSS strategy.. :) Thank you for video.

#16 antonin87, 04 Jan 10 09:58

man dont be so worried about your english skills..even your complaining about it was funny..i have a accent as well, who cares. i did understand everything you said man
i only have one question..where can i get the final version of Starting Hand Charts with A10 as a starting position from late positions, or is it the only changed thing from the old chart.
cheers and thx for vid

#17 redmeat, 10 Jan 10 19:52

Just to make it clear...
Your english is fine i was able to understand everything.
Very nice video. I for sure learned a lot. just turning to nl. i've been playing fl till now.
just waiting for a new one from you! :)
cheers!

#18 T3rMiT3, 12 Jan 10 00:09

very nice video!

and understandable english... keep up the good work :D

#19 Skring, 31 Jan 10 02:29

Congrats on the video! It has some good points of view in it, you should check it out!

#20 Shevtshenko, 08 Feb 10 13:22

Nice vid. Nothing out of usual, really. Didn't actually know the difference between pushing directly preflop from blinds vs. IP. I really like the way you give out some theory info while getting trash hands, only reason why I really ever bother watching any live-sessions.

And your English isn't as bad as you seem to think. Understood every word of it.

#21 asahi11, 11 Feb 10 07:00

Great video DarkZonk, think this is essential for any new SSS player. I've found it extremely useful.

A comment about your English.... shut up talking about it!!!! The only time I noticed it was when you'd talk about it. You're very fluent and I'd say above 90% accurate.

#22 kwasir11, 14 Feb 10 21:01

Nice vid. I like the additional rules.
The most important thing in english is that everybody will understand you and that works 100%.
So dont worry man

#23 kwasir11, 14 Feb 10 21:04

Nice vid. I like the additional rules.

#24 AusMaCrO, 15 Feb 10 11:52

Your english is fine man. Great video. Keep it up!!

#25 s1m0nmp, 28 Feb 10 08:18

English, German I don't care, as the video as great... really helpful... you explained some situations you didn't play against... like 3+ limper's from blinds and 4+ limper's from BU... plus the min raise and callers and vice versa, happens very often...

and min raise and min re-raise, to be treated as normal raise-reraise...
it happened few times at my tables... luckily didn't have cards to play against such play...

thanks for the vids and keep them coming...
PS: german/english I don't care

#26 Crybaby777, 02 Mar 10 15:40

Hi, quite nice video. Very good explanations. Your English quite well dont be so worry ;)

#27 phalemi24, 02 Mar 10 17:22

Nice vid!Your english is quite good and i will use the things i learned in this video(i will always go all in after 3-4 limpers!)

#28 painback, 08 Mar 10 19:15

Im an american living in germany. Dont worry your english is fine.

#29 infected177, 19 Mar 10 11:25

yes the english is good and learned something new to go all-in if you have 3-4 limpers thanks for the new information

#30 KnoTMkI, 13 Apr 10 08:19

Hey there.
I'd like you to discuss further on the optimal rebuy size. How come it is 18-19BB and not 20BB? Is it for tactical purposes or is there mathematical rationale behind it?

#31 Snoddas, 23 May 10 16:36

Thanks for the video. Your English is completely understandable, don't worry :)
One question: When in BB and SB completes, does it count as a limper regarding the 3+ BB rule?

#32 iSuckedOut1337, 01 Jun 10 08:13

according to the one and only Loddar Matthäus: "again what learned!"

#33 immortalx, 09 Jun 10 16:18

good work...i'm waiting the next video...hope soon:)

#34 ReaZoN999, 18 Jan 11 23:46

Nice video, your english is perfect :)

#35 axeboy90, 29 Jan 11 16:10
