Thank you guys!
Big congratulations to those who managed to find today's coaching stream and this thread as chat.
And if you haven't...stay tuned for the video recording
Thanks for the coaching!
I don't think railing HS hands is that much helpful, but I expect watching the recordings of the first two episodes to be definitely useful (as opposed to just doing nothing during that time, lol).

NB: 4 non-Zoom tables ~ 1 Zoom/Speed table, I assume LemOn meant 4 non-Zoom tables as a maximum for someone who's learning.
Yes, I recommend 4 regular tables. Pretty much for anyone who has moving up as fast as they can without cashing out as their main goal !
I found 4 tables to be too much for me to effectively follow all the action, so I've been doing 2. Other people might be able to concentrate and take notes faster than I can, though.

Yeah absolutely! Whatever number allows you paying attention to every table, thinking about every hand deeply and exploiting everyone to the maximum of your ability.

Well hello there! They are usually up 7-14 days after the coaching
Hello guys, today 20:00 CET(GMT+1) We have
Lesson 3: The Strategy in practice
Where we will use The Advanced Beginner Strategy in practice at NL2 and NL5! See you all tonight!
High stakes and NL10 will follow in Lesson4 next week.
Cool, anyway I've got quite a lot on my plate already
I'll keep practising and interiorising last course
Thank you for great activity in Today's coaching guys!
This is the HUD that I am using

I rarely get large sample sizes on micros so it's very basic, with 5 separate popups, one for each group.
For more advanced one look at

Hello guys, today 20:00 CET(GMT+1) We have
Lesson 4: Highstakes Hand Review & Liveplay... NL10
Where we will go through a couple of high stakes hands of some of the Top players online
And then see if what they do is applicable at NL10 Tables
Also The Most active chat participant of Lessons 4 and 5 and will get the chance to have his SESSION REVIEWED IN LESSON6
How does it work? The best chat contributors tonight and next week will receive points, from most active to least they will be added and I will contact the one with the most points to send me his video for live review via friend feature. If he won't be up for it, the second most active gets the chance etc... In case of tie activity in previous lessons will be considered

Of course it isn't - the microstakes rake is too high for 'unexploitable' (= unexploitive) play to be profitable
And it goes without saying that the Nash equilibrium of micro cash is very different from the one of high stakes cash - at the micros, regs need to softplay each other implicitly to reduce the gain of the biggest winner in the games - the house. This effect is especially noticeable in live cash games, where there's hardly any rakeback and rake can be 10% at times or have higher caps.
There's no such effect in tournaments because the fee there is pre-determined (unless rebuys and addons are raked like at PKR
) and doesn't depend on pot sizes.

I'm in if you choose me! (I still don't need a session review, but a status upgrade is something I'd gladly accept. Just, if I luckbox the home game, make sure to apply it after I become Gold, i.e. on the 26th
)
Okay guys, these are points for activiy in last 2 weeks. I will add and send an invite to the most active ones by the end of wednesday for the homegame where we play for one free status upgrade. A
