Thanks very much for the nice words guys, I really appreciate that and also all the regulars who come each week ![]()
To answer some recent questions...
For coaching please PM me here.
For $3Rs, I have a video on this format, and am happy to answer any more questions you have on it during a Wednesday coaching.
I talked about the new STT structure in today's coaching, and believe in the short term there is more room for edge, but that since it's a faster structure, in the long term it must either add a new level (the same number of levels removed were added back, so no net change currently) or a small rake decrease.
Hey, Collin!
Great coaching as always!
I had a one (or two) questions, but I didn't want to interrupt your MTT review yesterday.
As I said last week on coaching, I have bought and read your book (really awesome one I must say!). Some people say that SnG is still evolving so older material has not that much value. When it comes to your book, I strongly disagree, cause it teach me all the basic stuff, which I think won't be changing much.
However, do you think there is something that should be updated? Like sizing or playing more loose style?
The second question I have on my mind is - What should I do now? Except playing a lot of micro SnGs, what should I study now? Can you recommend me some book? Or should I review my plays? Practice push/folds with ICM Trainer?
Thank you very much for your input. I'm already looking forward to your next coaching!
Hi Collin,
Due to the recent changing of structure in STTs including the antes in early game,
how should we adapt our ranges in early, middle and late stages preflop?
Thanks.

In which video will it be shown?
Thanks Tablet! To the questions that you and Wally posed, yes you have to play looser with the ante. The best way to study is with Nash software preflop allin decisions. For deeper-stacked play, I have a video coming out soon on live play with antes with a lot of discussion on the right adjustment, and more of my coachings will be devoted to this too. I'm happy to answer any other questions you guys have on the structure change during one of the coachings.
Eldoc, that will be one of the hands featured in the video I mentioned above
Thanks for posting it, interesting discussion in yesterday's coaching about the spot (and I agree it was a mistake).
regards, i love to play sit and go tournaments, if someone have some advice, thanks

Here you have the link of the video.
The only issue is that you need to be at least gold member to watch the coaching back.

Hello Steve
It can take some time before the recorded coaching of last Wednesday is visible in our video section.
I expect you can find it there before the next coaching will take place.
Cheers,
