New SplitSuit Video Series

Posted by SplitSuit On November - 14 - 2011

As I mentioned the other day, I finally finished my new project! I am proud to introduce The 100K Micro-Stakes System: Crushing 50NL In 2012 to the world. After a couple weeks of research and a month of endless organizing, recording, editing, and re-editing…my new 6hr long video series is ready to rock. This comprehensive poker video series is perfect for live poker & online games, full ring & 6max, and is ready to help you crush in 2012!

New SplitSuit Poker Video Series

This video series is jam-packed with 12 videos, 3 bonus videos, and everything you need to improve your winrate. The entire video series clocks in at just over 6 hours, and is sure to invigorate your poker game and revamp your thought process. So what topics are covered in this series? Read the entire table of contents (complete with runtimes and video synopsis) below:

1. PREFLOP BASICS (Runtime: 26 minutes)

In order to improve in poker you need to have a solid foundation, and this video will build that foundation. We discuss the power of position, opening hands, and discuss stack sizes (both in terms of what we should use and how to adjust to other stack sizes). There is also a solid section dealing with SPR, a powerful concept that can help us visualize and create lines preflop and postflop.

2. COLD CALLING (Runtime: 28 minutes)

Calling raises preflop can be confusing, but this video aims to simplify this important action. We review various hand types, including pocket pairs and broadway hands, and the variables that go into deciding how to call them preflop.

3. ISOLATING (Runtime: 23 minutes)

Attacking limpers is a great way to pad your winrate…but knowing how to do so can be a bit complex. This video reviews isolating the most common limpers, and delves into the hand ranges to use and the ideas to keep in mind. We also go a step further and look at multi-way pots and consider the appropriate ranges to raise with.

4. 3BETTING VALUE HANDS (Runtime: 16 minutes)

What is a value 3bet, and how do we know it is actually for value? This video answers those questions and more. We also discuss 4betting and 5betting for value, creating a very clear framework to understand this valuable preflop action.

5. 3BETTING BLUFFS (Runtime: 23 minutes)

We aren’t dealt very many monsters…but that doesn’t mean we can’t make money with those junky hands! This video explores 3betting, 4betting, and 5betting bluff hands. We look at some basic math, explore components like sizing and blockers, and discuss which players to abuse (and how!)

6. BEING DYNAMIC PREFLOP (Runtime: 19 minutes)

Being dynamic is crucial for being at the top of today’s games. This video looks at various ways to break away from default actions and ranges. We explore different plays like aggressive stealing, cold calling with evil intentions, and even back-raising. If you are looking for some extra spots to create preflop profits…this is a great place to start!

7. HAND CLASSIFICATION (Runtime: 22 minutes)

The initial step in playing a solid postflop strategy is classifying your hand strength. This video reviews the 4 basic hand classifications and default ideas with each. Start classifying your hands better while having better ideas on playing them postflop!

8. BLUFF CBs (Runtime: 26 minutes)

We tend to miss flops often, so knowing how to bluff them is crucial for making more money. In this video we pull out Flopzilla and start visualizing how various ranges hit various flops. We also review details like bet sizing, elasticity, equity, and correctly estimating how often our opponent will fold.

9. FLOP PLAY (Runtime: 28 minutes)

There are only 3 cards on a flop, and yet endless possibilities! This video goes through a collection of situations, from simple to complicated, and reviews correct lines and mindsets. Everything from playing value hands to floating is covered in this in-depth video.

10. TURN & RIVER PLAY (Runtime: 25 minutes)

Turns and rivers can be very confusing, but this video simplifies them. We review a number of common situations and discuss optimal lines and thought processes. By simply classifying our hand, and looking at the correct information, these complicated streets can become very profitable.

11. 3BET POTS POSTFLOP (Runtime: 24 minutes)

Whether we 3bet for value or as a bluff, playing these pots postflop can be tough. This video goes through each hand classification in a 3bet pot, and discusses lines and ideas for each. We notice that by simply asking ourselves what a bet can accomplish, and looking at some basic math, these situations can be easy as pie.

12. A COLLECTION OF POSTFLOP HANDS (Runtime: 24 minutes)

Who can get enough postflop strategy? This collection of postflop hands brings up spots that weren’t covered in any of the other postflop videos, and fills in some of the gaps. By looking at various examples against various player types, this video will get you visualizing postflop in a more profitable manner.

13. PLAYER TYPES *BONUS* (Runtime: 20 minutes)

Our opponents can usually fit into one of a few player type categories, and this video reviews each one. We discuss each player type’s basics ideas, mistake propensities, and simple ways to identify them. From there we create default strategies and adjustments for beating them.

14. POKER MATH *BONUS* (Runtime: 22 minutes)

There is a lot of math in poker, but the math is actually quite simple. This video breaks down the crucial math necessary to understand poker, and then takes it a step further. We review everything from basic odds to EV equations, all while reviewing how to use this math for real poker decisions. Whether you need to learn poker math or simply need a refresher…this video is sure to help you out!

15. POKER ESSENTIALS *BONUS* (Runtime: 32 minutes)

This video touches on a bunch of concepts that didn’t fit well into other videos. We review a collection of personal topics, such as bankroll management and creating a poker plan, and various strategies to employ. Other topics like tilt management and table/seat selection are covered, as are my own personal ideas and strategies for them.

As you can see, every necessary concept is covered. These videos also use a wide variety of teaching styles, from using poker software like PokerStove & Flopzilla, to reviewing poker theory in the classroom, to running through hands in the replayer. I also use my unique presentation style that uses a heavy emphasis on graphics and on-screen text to ensure that both audio and visual learners are accounted for! Wondering what one of these videos might look like? Here is the first video in the series, in its entirety, for your viewing pleasure:

25NL SUPERLAG Video

Posted by SplitSuit On April - 8 - 2011

I decided to make a video for 2p2 yesterday of me playing 50% vpip. I sadly failed and only got it to about 40%, but the video was still pretty cool imo. I talked a lot about the kinds of mistakes players make, bet sizing, 3betting, and also some stuff about postflop thought process. Quite a few fun spots, so I would check this one out if you have the time.

*CLICK* A 100NL Poker Video *CLICK*

.
This is a 30 minute video played at 100NL on FTP. I recently reset my DB, so I have no info on anyone and spend the session trying to gather info and create strategies. I talked a lot about my strategies when I have very little information, and showed how I adjust in that kind of environment. The tables were a little loose and splashy…but overall it was a fun session (with some fish that were very angry with each other spazing out in chat =) ). If you want to DL this video to watch on your own time, here is a DL link:

.
(Click the above to watch a trailer of the video)
(you need up-to-date Quicktime)
.

This 50 minute video goes over the dreaded spot…when our 3bet gets called. We start simply by classifying our hand strength, then review line creation with each strength. We then look at our opponent’s tendencies and mistake-propensities to make optimal lines. While we do review various default lines, we heavily stress using information and how seemingly small pieces of info can help us shape future lines and plays. This video is a must for anyone who feels lost when they 3bet and/or is interested in implementing more 3bets into their game. Here is a quick table of contents for the video:

Hand classifications
CBing bluff hands (when to, and when not to)
Range contortion versus board texture
Value versus showdown value (SDV)
Default lines with AA/KK
Mixup lines with AA/KK
SDV and how to think about it
Goals with SDV hands
Various examples from various positions
Playing slight underpairs (QQ on Axx)
Semi-bluffing considerations
Using FE to create lines
How to think about SPR
Review

The introductory price for this video is $34.99. Payment options include Full Tilt transfer, Poker Stars transfer, or PayPal.
