Hi guys, thanks for the interest. I personally don't know when the episodes will be released. I can confirm that I submitted tip number 5 and number 6. I'm gonna ask the people in charge and I'll get back to you.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna be the guest of the next "The Poker Show" podcast. Saturday, it's on the coaching grid. I think it will be fun, hope you guys show up.

Cheers.

Hey double2!

I was hoping to meet you in quarter finals of HU Championship but it didn't work out. Wanted to test my post flop vs NL200 ZOOM reg :)

How are you doing now days? How many hours per month do you grind SH games? Are you still on PS or some other site?
Will there be some more videos from you in the future on Strategy?

Thanks for Your time responding to all these questions :)

Hi there :)

Well, this year has not been great so far. Pretty much breaking even pre-rakeback at 200nl Zoom, and thanks to a huge upswing this month. Happy that I dealed quite well with bad results.

Things are looking better now and I should be taking my second shot at 500nl soon.

I still play at PokerStars, yes.

Hours, I'm not sure, sometimes i can put in more hours, some times i can't put almost any, it depends on how busy I am at my main job as a doctor. I'd say it's an average of 1.5h-2h a day at the tables. Not counting hours of study, video producing, hand evals and private coachings.

You should see more videos from me in the future at Strategy. Actually I'm gonna have a new coaching series in June, Gold status.

Thanks for stoping by.

Always a great topic to discuss and cover. Hopefully your series will cover a lot of examples and flop textures with equity calculations and expectations IP and OOP. PS really needs great series on such topic!

I could answer but you will not be able to see the answer, so no point I think.

Hi double2,

I saw many of your videos and so I saw the interview too. I heard that you are pretty much the same, like me in terms of how much time you have for poker. I just don't understand, how you got to this high limit or how you can keep up with everything with such a little amount of time to spare. So basically I have a daytime job, monday to friday usually around 8 hrs a day. I started playing poker 2 years ago now, and I just can't make it on nl10. Winning then loosing. I feel like I just cannot put enough time into poker, and this is why I can't step up on higher limit. I don't know if I will ever be able with 30 50000 hands a month. My problem that I burn out too fast, it feels too much, I mean work and poker, not to mention the personal life. I don't really get ahead anyhow I try. I don't know if you had any suggestion or idea for me, you probably went trough the same, if you made it so far with poker as you had a regular job too.

Sorry for the late answer.

I don't think I can help you much.

I believe your problem is very similar to any other nl10-nl25 regular, but you have that extra handicap which is to have less time to improve your game. Being a winning regular at, say, Zoom 100nl is already a tough task (and not achievable for everybody) but for you it will be extra hard.

I think the key is for you to know how to spend your poker time efficientely.

Some pointers that I think they are uselful for everybody but for your case in particular:

1- work extra hard in your Mental Game, you have to have a top notch mind set, otherwise it will be impossible. People with free time can be agonizing and procrastinating during down swings. You can't.

2- Get private coaching. I don't regret a penny for the money I've put in private coaching.

3- Be selective in your study material. You can't watch every NL video that comes up on Poker Schools. You have to figure out who are the best teachers and focus on only a few.

Good luck
