hey mark, is there a way i could contact you? maybe by aim or e-mail? i just have a couple questions. thanks so much

Great stuff!
I'd love more 45man videos to come, such as this one.

Cali.

Great video! Great commentator! Picked up some good tips and it was definitely nice to hear your thoughts in different close situations. Good job on the battle back......A+++++

Thanks!!!!

Thanks guys I appreciate the feed back. finaltwo1022 you can put your email on here and I will contact you.

my e-mail is phillip.stewart22@gmail.com. thanks mark! oh, and great video.

Hey Mark
Thank you for your nice videos... they made me change from 9 man sngÂŽs to 45 and my ROI increases notable.
I think this is because there is not such a huge percentage of regulars and of course your good videos helped me, too.
The next step IÂŽm thinking about is to change to the 180 man sngÂŽs where a lot of people are making some serious money even in my stakes (10-20$).
It would be really nice if you could make a video for a 11 $ 180 man turbo on stars (I know you reguarly play on ft) with the basic strategy and the differences to a 45 man sng.
IÂŽm really looking forward to your next videos
ps. please excuse my english...

Pokergurke, I like the idea of a 180 man video. It is something new that I haven't done yet, so I may do it. However, I have played them before and they are pretty much the same thing as a multi table tournament. I do have several videos about multi table tournaments on here, but I may still do the video.

Hey donks--great video man. My email is bluejeep85@gmail.com. Just got a couple questions about the final table.

Thanks!

hi , i would appreciate if you could contact me at ruthlessrake@gmail.com i would have something to ask from u . will give more detail when you contact me by email thx a lot mate and your video are a true miracle to me. hope i can learn more from u.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. Any poker related questions please ask them on here so if there is someone else with the same question I don't have to repeat myself.

May I be repetitive?
Great !!! Great !!! Great !!! Great !!! Great !!!

What I like most is that you win playing solid poker. It's nice to see a solid and very good player winning a tourney, cause too often we see tourneys won by hyper aggressive maniacs or real donks.

About that, I have a question: I have heard that, unfortunately, this tight aggressive style is not the best one when playing MTT with more than 90 players. They say you need to gain chips since first levels, raising preflop marginal hands and then trying to play them well post flop.
What you think about it, Mark?

Thanks as always.

Wow, thanks for the positive feedback. There are many winning styles. You have to be able to adapt to your table is the most important thing. If you are sitting with nits than playing loose will be most profitable and the opposite is true as well. Which style is best overall is open for debate? Everyone has their own opinion and mine is that the important thing is to adapt to your table.

thanks a good insight into a winner s journey,i have won a few mtts myself,great video and commentary,and an interesting shove with 78 suited....thanks has put a few new idea s in my mind...regards toby

pimpindonk, i really admire ur work. I aspire to be like u. keep up the good work and the awesome videos, ur videos are the only ones worth watching imo on sharkscopers.

yo pimpin,

would love to chat sometime regarding 45man strategy and other poker stuff possibly. drop me a line and glgl in the meantime.

The session shows solid patient play but you do get an incredible number of pocket pairs. I don't see that many in a month.

The video makes some excellent points especially on pressuring mid range chip stacks late in the game. I definitely took away some decent learning and appreciate the lesson.

PimpinDonks if you have to choose one game for profit.What do you choose¿??

1) sits 45 players Turbo
2) sits 45 players Normal
3) 90 players winth doble stack
4) 180 players Turbo.

Thanks

Good video, but would be substantially better if you could talk about what you would have done in various positions if, for instance, someone didn't raise in front of you. Or comment on other peoples plays.

Great vid though. . . looking forward to more. Smile

Miguel, I like to play the 45 mans and they are not turbo.

Great stuff!!!Smile

Thx for the Video.

Are u generally playing the 26 $ 45er in a similar way? If not, where are the differences in your play there (except for the adaption to the table as mentioned above)?

I play them the same way and just make adjustments for the opponents I am playing.

Hey Pimpin,

first of all: GREAT VIDEOS ! I now have seen 5 of yours and all of them are very interesting in my opinion.

I ve got a question concerning pokertracker. At the live play in this video, you got the number of BBs overlayed in red at the table. Where could I find this option in the hud of the tracker ? I think its really worth when 10- or 12-tabling, so i look forward to an answer of you.

Thank you.

Wish you GL at the tables.

chessi, thanks for investing in my videos. Unfortunately that feature was with a program called fulltilt shortcuts and it no longer works. It doesn't work because of the updates fulltilt did to their software in August.

Awesome video!!!! Smile

Hey, Mark... but... what about that star near my name? What about this result? Smile Big >Smile

Top 10 is very impressive you are moving up the food chain!

Gonna be a shark someday, fighting at the same table with Pimpindonks Smile Big Ok, ok, I must collect 200 K$ first Wink
Thanks for all your support.

Hey pimpindonks,
I remember reading in one of your video comments section that you were offering your configuraion for poker trackers HUD for $3. Is this offer still available?

Hey Pimpin
just wanted to say thanks your after watching your videos, i placed 5th in a 25$45 man sit n go,
and 1st in a 75$ 45 man sit n go. I actually put you out when i flopped a set to your aq i thought it was so ironic. Anyways i learned alot and wanted to let you know that i was thankfull for the help.

smokineights, the hud is available for $3 still. Fulltilts lowest transfer amount is $5. So send me $8 and I will transfer back $5 and email you the hud. If you want it email PimpinDonks@gmail.com

Thanks for the feedback cmfnh. Good results.

Pimpin, I enjoyed this video quite a bit. I loved the fast-paced action at first, quickly going through the hands, but still spending plenty of time to explain some tough spots. Well played throughout. Nice work.

Also are you still playing on FT? I haven't seen your name on the leaderboards lately which is not a common sight. Did you move to Stars? Or just taking a break from the tourneys?

I play on other sites occasionally. I am always looking for the best games for me to be playing in. I do play cash games once in a while but mostly tournaments.

Great video! Great commentator! i want to try this game sure Smile

In minute 27, you have T8s in the BB... assuming that button does a 2.5x raise, instead of a huge bet, how would you approach that spot?

I would still fold, because we are to short stacked to call and see a flop.

Ah thank you, so at 15:50 in the video it seems like a similar spot to me, T8s in the BB and somewhat similar stack sizes (15ish BB), except there you elect to call... Was that because of a read you had on Aubal? Or was it because you had position on this hand, and not on the previous example? Thanks! Sorry not trying to be critical, just trying to absorb some knowledge.

Yeah the reason for that call was me having position on my opponent. Position is vital in decision making. When both players miss the flop the person with position will win the hand the majority of the time.

Thanks for your time Pimpin, much appreciated.

Sup pimpindonk,
Would you consider doing ghosting sessions of your 45 man sngs for a fixed rate or percentage of my future earnings. Look up my sharkscope I have won some money but would love to take the step up.
Either add me on aim: joelyrolyft or email me at joelelaine@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks
