Thanks.
We are going to review a live session from member advancedTN1984 on 25nl anonymous tables.
Wow !! Free private/public coachings from double2 ? Count ME IN next time for sure 
Hello,
In the last coaching you said something about a coaching on a specific topic. I have a couple of ideas. Is it ok to come up with some and see if you get a nice lecture out of it and hopefully others have also clear ideas about it.
Thanks for the session review.

Thanks for the session review.
Every suggestion is welcome. As I said in the first post of this thread. This is my PokerStrategy "corner", I will answer pretty much everything you guys post here, it could be hands, suggestions, random questions, etc. So it is up to you to make this thread and this coaching series a very interesting one.

Stuff like that.
This will make the first coaching more interesting. Come on, get your hands out of your pockets and start typing.
Let's do this also. An introduction. I am currently playing nl25 on unibet hudless. So I'm a hudless chicken and very recreational. So in the free private public coaching we have seen my playing of a few different spots. I have trouble with my preflop game, that is covered a bit in the serie of double2, ten tips to get out of the micros. In this series there is a few times mentioned, that is talk for a later time. I'd like to know more about it. I have dis interest in multiway pots, cause its hard to get money out of it unless i have nuts. So I'm probably quite unbalanced... We have seen a discussion about how to play a set multiway with a fish and probably a regular in relative position to us and the fish. So my questions and this is kinda brainstorm.
How do we become a better poker player? So the mental game is an issue, the technical part of playing is an issue but also how can we learn in an effective and systematic way with so much content on this site. Let's give an example. How do we study flop textures and come up with a game plan for flop, turn and river? With respect to our initial raise preflop and the details of the preflop action. As an example we can catagorize flops like this:
* no broadway 2:h:6:d:8:h:
* 1 broadway K:s:8:c:6:d:
* 2 broadway A:s:T:s:7:h:
* 3 broadway Q:c:J:s:T:s:
* Monotone T:c:5:c:4:c:
* Paired J:d:J:h:3:h:
* bingo 7:h:7:c:7:s:
But you can also think of other flops to categorize and to study it, like making a matrix with Dry to Wet on the x-axis and then High cards to low cards on the y-axis. And study those flops accordingly
On the turn different things can happen. There can come an overcard to the board, there can come bricks like the deuce of spade. Or the board pairs, drawfillers and a through card. How to study those things and do according those actions.
This part is focused on our game. But the next thing what i want to mention is that we can also focus on our opponents game. Yes we can look up our hud and decide but in the series and also in this public private coaching of last week we have discussed a bit of the pros of cons of using a hud. And one thing i want to like to do and hopefully I will be skilled with this in future, is reading the playing style of my villain according to what he has shown down in a hand. So the question would be is how can we draw conclusions from hands our opponents has shown down and how to adjust properly and not over adjust, under adjust or not adjust at all. We know our own standard game but thats not the standard game of villain and during the time I play poker, my game has evolved and the game of my villains has evolved as well, some things are good and some things are better.
Last one, I have talked about how to learn flop strategy, how to learn and adjust to our opponents but havent talked about a difficult topic such as how to read board well and how to seperate a mistake from just bad play. Sometimes you have to count outs, in theory this seems very simple. Just use combinatorics and study a hand off the table. But it isnt that simple because we have to use the funnel principle and in game I know at least, if villain does this action he represents a set and has a set a decent amount of time. Or he has a flush draw a decent amount of time. If we have a flush draw, villain raises we can use odds and outs to calculate if we can call or not, with respect to implied odds. But how do we really not paying off and not over estimate our implied odds. Cause in practice it feels sometimes that I haven't the implieds I need to. And this clue I got from the river action of medium strength hands by the end of the river by just checking back ip or not paying of when he sits oop and we have hit.
I hope I am somewhat clear by my struggles and putting this on text.
I would like to ask you, if you can recommend any exercises to better remember preflop charts?:) Do the best exercise is to watch hands by position after session and at the same time look at charts?

I used to beat NL2 and NL5 6max fast tables mixed with regular ones before black friday. Now I have been struggling to beat NL10 up to NL25 (which is my main goal - to learn enough to beat these particular limits) for year and a half now. I am loosing player, but I maintened to not go busto, so I am still trying to break through. I leran a lot, study a lot. I have to do much more sessions reviews and own database reviews. I had tilt problems as anyone else so there were quite a lot of stacks I spewed off, but I have been almost tilt free this year. Almost.
But even though I study a lot (actually it is not that much, but I do it as much as I can and what my time allows me), I write a blog, I stream, I watch videos, I try to impro ... I still struggle at microstakes. I study a lot, I am trying implement particular theory concepts into my game. But sometimes, when running bad (almost all the time, lol), I become so unsure if I am doing anything right actually.
I believe beating microstakes is still simple nowdays in theory. What I mean by this is something like: 1) bet mainly for value and bet big with big hands, 2) don't bluff that much as we would at higher stakes, for example we should doublebarrel less often and same goes for triplebarreling, since we don't have that much fold equity against major population of players at these stakes, 3) steal more since people are playing really tight (most regulars are nits or TAGs), 4) overfold overfold overfold to aggression, especially to raises OTF, OTT, OTR, overfold against bet bet bet big lines, don't float so much if not hit OTF.
But even though in theory beating microstakes is easy, it doesn't need to be easy in practice, since there is quite a high rake included and majority of players are nits.
Could you make a video, where you would go over these points I made (or similar ones) and tell us your opinion on them? Also it would be great to talk more about the last point I mentioned and show as much spots as possible, where overfold is good (and not only big hands, not only facing raise OTT or OTR situation, but also including second pairs OTF, OTT not improved etc.).
This is so crucial to me, because I just want to see pro coach to make me sure I understand these basic thing right. Especially I need to more sure about overfolding overall and about not playing balanced preflop ranges most of the time and stuff like that.
Thank you and keep up good work !
UPDATE: The main problem is .. there is so much stuff and advise on the internet. Even here on PSGY (in our Czech section for example) there are people, who advise GTO balanced play or they don't stress enough how to deviate from those default ranges, they don't stress enough where and how to overfold to be successfull at the micro stakes. Main problem is it is all confusing. As a beginner you just don't know who to "trust", which path should we follow to simply beat microstakes. [I hope my post makes at least some sense 
]
I know my issues stated here are too broad and general. But I will try to give particular examples and spots. I just need to get back home from work and find these. Please wait for it.
TL : DR
Coaching on overfolding in various spots at microlimits would be great !

Thanks for the post. We can see that English is not your main language but I think I got most of what you meant. Let's pick on that board study thing. Making a chart of different board types and try to study them independently I don't think it's a doable thing. Reason is: despite what type of board, the players ranges are the most important factor in making a post-flop plan for your range and for a hand in particular. And relative position as well (if we are in or out of position). For example, it is completely different to approach an A82s board when the positions are UTGvsMP than it is so study the exact same board SBvsBB, even more so BUvBB. So trying to make it a bit more methodical regarding different boards only is not the way to go IMO. What would be more useful to improve ones game, in my opinion, is the systematic review of similar spots with different boards and different positions. For instance, we can decide we want to improve how we play against cbets. We should take it by steps. We would first review situations where we are on the BB and face different situations where we always get a cbet and we are OOP. So we could see different boards (Axx, 832r, QJxs, etc) and against different positions (BU mainly, CO, MP). Problem with this particular topic is that is not easy to improve all by yourself, since it's not a very straightforward analysis, but analyzing which range gets favored, trying to figure out if we should have a raising range, how specific hands play on future streets when we call, visualizing ranges (Hero and Villain), etc is all important and laborious work, but it's the way to go in these matters.
I'm not sure I got what you said in the beginning about pre flop ranges.

The best way to do that is to make sense of why the range is the way it is and how it interacts with the other parts. Like, instead of memorizing that you 3bet 76s on BB vs CO, realize that it probably means that you are calling 87s, and 76s would be a marginal call and that's one of the reasons that it is in your 3bet range. Same for SB 3bet ranges when you use 3bet or fold strategy, you 3bet top X% of hands against different positions, so against CO you would 3bet ~10% and that could look like 99+, A2s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, AQo+

Hi msnek, thanks for the detailed post, all of that made sense, don't worry. Sorry for the delayed answer.
From all you wrote I get the feeling you have a lot of motivation and drive but you are quite lost in the methodology and tools you will use to improve your game. It seems you are "all over the place", using dozens of different sources of knowledge (different sites, different coaches, different ranges, lots of different videos, etc). I think this is a problem when you are (still) a microstakes player. In a sense that a 200nl player will have the skill basis and critical thinking to watch different things and take away useful stuff for his game without feeling lost or unsure about his play. I really think you need to narrow down your sources of knowledge, that way it will have a more focused and coherent line of improvement.
As the other stuff you mentioned, indeed even the micros are getting a bit tougher everyday, and combined with the high rake, we have a recipe for not so great winrates from anyone. Which means that we should really take into account factual bankroll (=rakeback) and move up when we have the necessary BR and confidence without being too worried about not crushing the previous limit.

Actually, bluffing against regulars is something we have to do in some degree, even at the micros. Regs at the micros are usually not that call happy, they don't like bluffcatching with weak hands, so there is definitely a roll for bluffing turn and river. Against aggression I still think we should overfold, specially against triple barrels and raises yes.

This could actually be a nice theme for one of the coachings. Please send me hands where you think we should be folding a lot because villains will not bluff enough.
@Double
Thank you for detailed answer ! Maybe you are right. I will try to narrow down my sources and make it more simple. I will stick to PSGY for now and strategic posts and videos from BR (since he always been microstakes specialist). I will make a simple plan, which I will follow and hopefully this plan will improve my game. I will wright it down in here, if you don't mind, so you (and other guys) can comment it.
1) Since I'm continually going down in terms of my BR, I will consider moving to NL5 - NL10.
2) I have to figure out some warming routine. I will write down few points based on my video notes in terms what I wanna focus on during that particular session. I will mark all hands I am not sure about and those, where I think there could be potential read on someone.
3) I will go for 50:50 study:playing. I really do love playing a lot, but I need to study and do hands/sessions reviews also. I don't have enough free time nowdays, so I am able to go for 1 hour poker per day. Sometimes more, sometime less, but on average this is the number :/ So I guess I will go fro 30 minutes play and 30 minutes for marked hands review.
4) Videos I will watch mostly in my work during free time there and I will be writing down notes. I will focus on series from Weazel and on your videos for now only. There 3 series from Weazel I wanna watch and 2 from you.
And ofc I will prepare those hands, where I think (or where I am not sure) we should be overfolding.
Sounds like a plan. In those 30 mins of hand review don't just look at hands by yourself. Write down your own analysis and then ask for opinion of a better player, if you post here I will try to answer and welcome anyone to join the discussion. And focus on common spots, it doesn't matter that you don't know what to do when your AK gets a call on the 4bet and faces a low board.
Problem with this particular topic is that is not easy to improve all by yourself, since it's not a very straightforward analysis, but analyzing which range gets favored, trying to figure out if we should have a raising range, how specific hands play on future streets when we call, visualizing ranges (Hero and Villain), etc is all important and laborious work, but it's the way to go in these matters.
I'm not sure I got what you said in the beginning about pre flop ranges.
I was not happy with the discussion I got in the hand evaluation forum. So I did some laborious work but struggle with the solution.

In this hand hero is oop against an unknown villain, he has folded the last orbit so probably a tighter opponent.
Against unknown I like to continuation bet with 50%(205 combo's) of my range(22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q4s+, J7s+, T7s+, 97s+, 86s+, 75s+, 64s+, 54s, A7o+, K9o+, Q9o+, J9o+, T9o, 98o) while being oop. As balanced as hero is, I like to check-call with 35% of my range(144 combo's) and check raise 15%(62 combo's). So we overfold a little bit with 50% of our checking range.
Those numbers are general assumptions in a vacuum but for this spot, do they hold?
And for ranges, I divided it like this but are very unsure about it. I c-bet with bottom set and middle set. C-betting the vulnerable 2 pairs, c-bet all of the good top pairs(AK,AJ-AT), as vulnerable made hands go, the 2nd pairs below TT. The nut flush draws, and the gutshots. This is about 46%(188 combo's), what can I else put here, or what is a better assumption for those ranges?
Hero check calls with A9o-A7o, A9s-A2s, all Qx and KK, JJ-TT(29%). And also the flush draws no nut(4.6%) makes a total of 34%(close to the approximated 35%).
I check-raise AA, and the bdfd with one card to the nuts, but what else can we put in the check-raising range? This check-raising range is only 5% and we like to have it 15%. Bwah, difficult though, do you have suggestions to make better ranges for my c-betting strategy?
^^ I will answer this tomorrow in detail, don't despair. You raise very interesting topics and misconceptions, I have a lot to say.

And for ranges, I divided it like this but are very unsure about it. I c-bet with bottom set and middle set. C-betting the vulnerable 2 pairs, c-bet all of the good top pairs(AK,AJ-AT), as vulnerable made hands go, the 2nd pairs below TT. The nut flush draws, and the gutshots. This is about 46%(188 combo's), what can I else put here, or what is a better assumption for those ranges?
Hero check calls with A9o-A7o, A9s-A2s, all Qx and KK, JJ-TT(29%). And also the flush draws no nut(4.6%) makes a total of 34%(close to the approximated 35%).
I check-raise AA, and the bdfd with one card to the nuts, but what else can we put in the check-raising range? This check-raising range is only 5% and we like to have it 15%. Bwah, difficult though, do you have suggestions to make better ranges for my c-betting strategy?
Okay, I really think this is not the way to go in how improving ones game at 10NL
You should think in a lot more simple ways. Don't try to define too much what you are doing, don't try to be "balanced" at 10NL. Also, you seem to infer that these numbers you put out (cbet 50%, XR 15%, etc) are a general recipe for this SBvBB spot. They are not, they should vary a lot (even in theory) between different boards.
Be simple, think practical, think exploitative, think about villain's range.
I will give some random simple stuff about this hand:
1- you mention he is probably a regular, maybe tight. Then you should opening 100% as default from SB. That is a hugely profitable option at the micros.
2- if he is tight, then this board hit him quite well so I would not expect that many folds from a tight pre flop range, so I'd not cbet total air. And I would be "overfolding" this flop without a problem.
3- I'd cbet pretty much all flush draws and gutshots, don't see a reason to start checking those at 10nl. Yes, you can check some of those, but I really don't this should be a concern.
4- I would NOT check/raise almost anything in this flop, at these stakes, against this opponent, specially with random bluffs. Again, something like that could be done at 500NL, but wasting your time thinking about this at this point is pretty much useless a probably counter-productive.
5- As played, I don't have anything to important to say about turn or river. River seems like a hand we could be bluffing, but you don't need to and I don't think it's a particularly awesome spot to do it.
Think simple.
Hi, thank you very much for very interesting video https://www.pokerstrategy.com/video/38436/
I have some questions about this:
1) I dont understood why you check\fold A6-K6 on T86ss, but check\call 4x on 864ss?
2) Why so a little bluf cbet on board AAJ ? Do regulars so much floats?
3) What are you thinking about mono-boards? For example 9s8s7s or Ks7s2s?
