Pimpindonks is right...restealing has more to do with what you are seeing out of your opponents than your hole cards. If your opponents are stealing often then they are doing it with a pretty wide range of hands. If so...you should be able to resteal w/just about ATC in certain situations. (If ATC sounds to risky then at least connectors, suited connectors, any ace, any broadway, and any PP)
Nice vid, Pimp.
I think I get all the points fairly well, the range / equity balance basically. But I've had this one instance.. where a particularly crazed opponent was stealing my blinds who was also a very loose caller. I decided to let go of a few blinds with hands that I felt, given his ability to call anything, could be dominated a little too often by his stealing range (e.g. J7o, T8o) oddly enough. I ended up shoving on him with A9s and incredibly, even after stealing a bunch, he made a call Arag. So, it appears to me the restealing would work best against an above average opponent who happens to go for the blinds a little too much. But this tactic would have lower EV (may still be a +.. ) against very loose calling stations. Thoughts?
(btw. I lost that confrontation.. fml lol)
The ideal opponent to resteal is a loose stealer with a tight calling allin range. Loose donks will call quite often so resteal against them mostly with value hands. A9 is not a great hand to do it with because when called you will be dominated a good amount of the time. However, with you having an ace it helps with card removal effects. I would prefer to resteal with a hand like 87s though.
You can watch the videos as many times as you want once they are purchased.
Hello
I saw your Full Tilt sharkscope graph.. What's happened to you in August and September ? ROI is so low ( -75% & -50% )...
Just variance or something else ?
.
My second question is about ROI.... Which ROI for which level do you think a average good player can have after working on his game and being serious student and player ? And what would be the effect of multitabling on his ROI ?
.
Have good game

Hey pimpindonks,
I tried sending an e-mail to you through contacts (coaching) requesting your HUD but I never got a reply (it probably never got to you). Let me know what I need to do on my end. I understand you charge $5 for it.
Thanks,

for the turbo sng double or nothing at the $5, $10, and $20 what do you think the roi should be at those stakes? 2-3% you mentioned for higher stakes I'm assuming you $50+.
sorry about the multiple entries. the blog took me to some funky coding page that looked like it did not take my post. But know I see all attempts did post.
Thanks Mark.
So, at 2.3% it's not so good. That's what I felt. I've played about 1000 games over the past 9 days so I'm getting to some numbers that would take natural variance into account. This mean there are some holes in my game for sure if average rate is 5-10%.
Do you know what the average roi for $10, $20, $50, $100 double or nothing turbo sit and gos are.
Hey,
It would be nice if you could give a spreadsheet on what hands to resteal with and what hands you would open raise with this stack size.
