Coaching Chris - I-Poker Regular Speed Sit and Go $2 Buy In

Every now and then I'll be bringing you some guest free poker training videos. This time it's from FasterMule but as you can see from previous entries there's going to be a lot of content from all around the web.

Chris was struggling with the basics so a poker study group was set up to help him analyse his game and try to improve.

He's been playing on BetMost which I'm proud to be able to offer you guys the best VIP deal allowed on the iPoker network if you use the link below and the code MULE. This is a special offer from FasterMule to go with the free video. They are owned by William Hill so you can be sure you're getting not only the best deal on the network but the safest!

Team Collin Moshman and SNG Variance

We mentioned in a previous entry that team Collin Moshman was now live and kicking for all you Sit and Go players out there. They offer apprentice positions as well as staking and coaching (on a no win no fee basis) which is pretty unique in the poker world and pretty exciting.

His team member Vandweller in his latest blog post discusses the graph shown on the right and points out that this man is a winning player who suffered a huge 100 bi downswing. When you see the rest of the graph and the discussion on the site it's a real eye opener about variance and Sit and Go Poker.

All you beginners out there struggling for now need to remember that over time even the best players and guys on the leaderboards on SharkScope will take a beating and it's just part of the game we need to fight through.

Self Denial and Poker

So many people play online poker these days and study all the available guides and think they somehow can just 'absorb' talent by magic from a few videos. Or they start to believe that just playing tight preflop gives them an instant right to be a winning player.

They then project this belief onto the tables around them. They see guys playing tight statistics on their Holdem Manager or whatever particular program they use to monitor such things and assume the games are tough - they can't beat them, the tables look tight, so online poker is dead. They start to believe that bad luck is to blame for their losses. They 'run bad' instead of losing because they play bad. Total self denial.

The truth is poker is like a job; it's a lot of hard work. It's not enough to learn some simple preflop rules and concepts and to understand that a continuation bet is profitable. If it were that simple to code a winning solution to poker there would be winning 'bots' all over the tables and millions of us wouldn't find it so fascinating.

There will be more psychology articles to come but for now i'll leave you with a great video I found on the internet about self denial in poker.
