Been thinking about a few ventures in poker, one of which is maybe offering some coaching. I'm also thinking about writing some poker strategy articles so in that vein, what kinda things would people like to see?

Early stages of MTTs
MTTs when stacks are <20xBB
Microstakes cash
Bubble play
Bankroll management
Things like note-taking, table selection etc

Just a few of my own ideas, but you can suggest your own of course, what would people find most helpful? Let me know what you'd like to see

Thanks for these propositions Paul, I'm putting your post in the "RKH's Choice" to give it more visibility, you'll soon get feedback ;).


@Skilful @B165L1Ck75 @Emty @Mark Duguid @William Calder you might be interested in that post ;)

Thanks for link @Adrien Bacchi 

Nice idea! Good luck 

Microstakes Cash ideas:

what kind of goals should people be setting how can they focus on these and keep positive mindset in spite of short term swings / how can you not be attached to money in your bankroll. 

When is it right to 3bet jj and tt in late position Vs flatting. 

AK should this be going in pf Vs situations it should be seeing a flop. 

Half pot Vs 3/4 pot bets on the flop,  turn and river. 

Is it ever right to greatly over bet pot shove river -  examples of when good/bad. 

 

 

Hi, it would be  nice get more experience, early stages MTT,<20BB MTT,bubble play  interesting me

Cheers Adrien and cheers for the feedback so far.

One thing in your reply Skilful is a massive flaw so many people have in their game. Asking whether to use half pot or 3/4 pot bets.... in short if you only use the pre-assigned bet sizings then you're deffo making mistakes in bet sizing on pretty much every single street of every single hand. Generally if people only use these buttons it's a quick giveaway straight from the go that they don't really know WHY they are betting different sizes. Every situation will call for different sizings depending on the villian, the board texture, previous action in the hand, positions of players etc.

I wrote a strategy guide a while ago about bet sizing and the factors you need to take into account when choosing your sizing. I'll go find it and post it up on here for people to have a look.

Ok Emty, no prob, deffo happy to do some strat guides around all stages of MTTs (probably best if I do a seperate 'blog'/guide for each otherwise it could get pretty big!)

Very good idea perhaps very deep 100BB+ theory. It seems the toughest part of the game for tournament play.Opening wide but then what? Or maybe the key is not opening really wide?

Ok, cheers for the input Jason. When it comes to opening wide with deepstacks, it's all about how comfortable you are playing postflop really, the deeper you are, the more decisions there will be postflop and the tougher they're gonna be.

I've spent most of my time playing cash and only recently started grinding MTTs full on at the start of 2015 so I'm a lot more experienced/comfortable playing deep so I'm happy playing a wider range in early stages. Just try things out, adding in just the top end of hands you'd normally fold, try to do it in position as much as possible of course, and if you're unsure about anything, discuss the HH with someone.

Fwiw, a huge thing to thank for me progressing as far as I have with poker is having poker friends, people I can discuss hands with or using forums to post HHs for advice.

That being said, if you're gonna have one leak, then being too tight in the very early stages is far from the worst you could have.

Thank you Paul for your quick response. I had untill recently been registering late in tournaments to avoid this problem. I did however in Monaco and Bucharest how much value I am missing. It is now my aim to register earlier and play tighter.
