New Video Series!

Tagged:

Hey guys and girls, I have a few quick updates I would like to share with you. First, I have been grinding mtt sngs back on fulltilt mostly this month (April) and have been doing quite well. I set a weekly goal to play 500 in the week and if I do I am getting a new pair of Oakley glasses and a new watch!

In February and March I took a break from them for a while and played alot of mtts and cash games. I played mostly heads up cash games and did pretty well at them. I could play upto 4 tables of them at the same time. I played on fulltilt, cake, absolute and poker stars at buyins of 200nl upto 1000nl. I played on all those sites because it is tough to keep games going on just 1 or 2 sites. I tried mostly to play fish, but would play regs if there were no better opportunities. In the end though my hourly rate still was not as high as playing mtt sngs.

As for the mtts, I final tabled a couple on poker stars $8.80 buyin and $109 buyin. I finished 8th and 9th though so no big money there. I also finished 13th in the Sunday Million though for $7,200. It was extremely frustrating though to get that far and just miss out on the final table and huge money! Overall though, I am down on the year in mtts and up in cash games and sngs.

Some people have asked what my other usernames are on the other sites? I prefer to keep them annyomous. The reason is I prefer my opponents to think I am some random fish. Also, it is nice for me to be able to play on an account where no one knows me, once in a while.

I went to Vegas about a month ago also. I played in a couple of small tournaments there. I got down to HU in one of them and chopped with the other guy. It was a profitable trip and had a lot of fun partying there as well. I am considering moving there or buying a second home there now!

Lastly, but most importantly, I am working on a NEW VIDEO SERIES FOR SHARKSCOPERS! The title of the new series is "How to crush Sit n Go's". It will be about 15 to 25 seperate videos on specific topics that relate to winning in sngs. This series will help begainers and advanced players improve their ROI and take their game to the next level!

Some of the topics will include: elements of a winning player, value betting, 3 betting, donk betting, playing 15 big blinds of less, playing 15 to 30 BBs, playing 30 BBs+, bankroll management, starting hands, preflop play, post flop play, HU play, final table play and many more...

This new series is going to take a lot of work on my part but it will benefit many players. I have done well financially playing poker and would like to share the knowledge with those that would like to take the time to learn it through this video series. As of the writing of this blog entry I have 4 videos done. I am not sure when they will be available... but stay tuned!

Thanks for reading, good luck at the tables!

Hey Mark, really good to hear your back grinding sngs and back making videos. Looking forward to the new series!

Thanks for the update and cannot wait for the videos! Honestly, my game has improved dramatically in no small part due to the bits of knowledge gleaned from your videos.

is it not a double edged sword for u making videos? sure u make money from them and stuff but u also lower ur edge and make your roi lower (if people are taking notice) presumably you leave some stuff out of ur videos? otherwise it would be real +ev for the other regs who play u to watch them and learn how u play.

alright. I have been holding on to my credits for the last 8 months waiting for your next videos. Looking forward to it.

Hey Mark,

Good to hear! Looking forward to the series.

Wink Good Luck!

I play my normal game in my videos. I don't hold anything back. What you see in the videos is exactly how I play every day. If the regs watch my videos I don't mind because I try to have balanced ranges in most spots. They still also don't know what 2 cards I am holding at any given time so it could be a bluff or the nuts. I have already done many videos and still am doing pretty good against most regs.

awesome i cant wait to see the videos. your instruction has been super in helping me improve my game.

Congrats Donks! I came in 13th in the same tourney few months back for a 5400 haul.. bubbled off the 7200 spot when my JJ got cracked by TT on riv.

Tough way to go out. It is still a nice pay day though!

I don't suppose you can outline the video series that's coming up.

The outline will be available online within a week or two from what I have heard!

cant wait. looking forwar to it.

The guide is coming together really well! It's going to be the most organized and informative poker video training series available. It will be ready by the end of this week.

ahhhhh. popcorn Smile

How can I see the videos?

Cheers,
C.

It's ready! Launching any minute...

really looking forward to his new series of videos Smile

what happen. if you dont mind me asking.

Awesome! Pretty excited about the new video series. Looks like you're covering a lot of topics... basically every stage of the tournament and then some. Looking forward to some new MTT sng material.

Are these mostly going to be 45 or 90 man? Or what games are being covered?

The videos are for all types of sngs. They will cover specific topics and concepts that apply to sngs. I will give hand examples in the videos when appropriate.

Yay! It's finally here!

Can I purchase some of the videos without shelling out the whole price package since I already have quite a few videos of PPD and some of the videos although I would say is very important for beginners to know but I'm been playing long enough, about 10K games on my belt, that I have a good understanding of the beginning concepts ?

What I'm really interested is the Intermediate/Advanced videos ?

I have 1/3 credits left from the bulk package I bought a few months ago.

regards.......

Yep, you'll also have the option of unlocking each video individually with credits. We'll be publishing all the videos live in our video section really soon.

Oh, I was just notified about a small bug which is causing some users to not have access to the full 38 minute free video. We'll get this fixed very soon.

k....

yea dbirider, having that problem also. Looking forward to a free vid though!

Edit: Any idea when we're looking at a fix? I'm still unable to watch.

It's a really minor bug. I'm just waiting on the developer to get back to me. It should be resolved this weekend.

The Free 38 minute video is available now, all the videos are published. Enjoy!

Hi pimpin!

Not shure if this is the right place to ask.. I saw your videos and it seams that you have a huge database on pokerstars. I am just starting there and dont have many hands. Can you give me any advice on how to find hands?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if it is against the poker sites rules to buy hands and use them. I have never done that so I have no input. Whenever I start playing at a new site I just get hands as I play.
