7 years pro, Mid -high stakes MTT crusher: AMA about tourney strategy xxx

Hi - I've removed links to your site, as you are offering a paid service there. And I'm not sure how your own site would be a reliable source to show your true income from poker?

I've also removed your Instagram and YouTube links, as they are also promoting your course/brand for $$.

You are welcome to talk strategy here and provide tips and overall discussion. But we do not allow self-promotion/advertising/linking to services.

Hi Jean. No problem dw, it was not meant to be advertising, apologies.

Be Careful that this dude does not - as can be seen on his “training” site - charge you $650. As we know his claim to have won hundreds of thousands can’t be be documented, But perhaps he did - on a play money site.
PS! The link to this guys site has been deleted by admin, since it - under the false flag of being free - is a commercial link (and a hillarious one)

Hi guys. Let me be clear about everything:

Firstly, that American guy above is NOT me, as previously mentioned.

@SpanRmonka The ranges I made personally, because I feel the same way. Learning ranges is not the way to get really good, but are necessary to have as a default. I wanted to give them for free, to anyone it would help, that's all. They are Nash eqm ranges - aginst perfect computers and good players, they are unexploitable, but you should never look to use them as default. Profit comes from from playing bad players as often as possible, where solver ranges are never optimal. To anyone that wants them, message me and they're yours, for nothing.

@Jean-Guy Hi brother, I don't know why you feel attacked, but it's okay. I wish you only the best of luck and love on your poker journey. Seriously. Good luck on the cash tables - I hope we meet one day.

You may not believe my stats - that's fine, but they are real, and I really care about helping people improve at poker. You can see, after hundreds of videos, I am trying, and actively helping many students use poker to improve their life. That's my goal. The testimonials are there too.

I have free content, I have paid content, I am a verified MTT coach on 2+2. All I try to do is offer value. Everything is there to see, including me play live on stream in the coming weeks. (danricepoker1)

I release my aliases typically twice per year (my next one is in 2 weeks) , then screenshot them, and update my reults, so I avoid being Sharkscoped mid game, and so people don't avoid me at the tables. Very common among pros I work with and compete against, to ensure playerpools remain softer vs them over the year.

^^^ This is why I will stream, to show and prove both my ability and results, live.

@Jean-Guy what's the best way for me to post aliases that you guys are happy with? Do you want every account seperately, all accounts into 1 on sharkscope (unfortunatley GG and Bododg aren't trackable), and how much proof is enough?

Aside from everything, I hope we can become friends - I always liked Danish people, and I hope the community does not think I will try to offer anything other than love, and good runs at the poker tables. <3 ---- Love, Dan

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation. I have watched six of your YouTube vids. It is clear to me that you have great knowledge and your ability to explain your strategies in a well versed manner is excellent,
I wish you all the best in your journey to beat the game and tutoring students. I do not advocate you to reveal your alias. I would never post my alias on any forum. I also never tell about my results at the cash game tables. Only my wife knows. However, I see the logic in you telling about your winnings; it is after all an integral hallmark of your project.
On a personal note: I like you since you strike me as a very sympathetic guy.
Yours sincerly
Jean-Guy

Thanks Jean. Good luck with everything. Unfortunately I can't start as a big account, and I get that trust is difficult to earn, but we'll certainly get there if we do a good enough job helping people out.

Best of luck brother, and take it easy. ❤️. Any questions, or anything you think I can do better, please reach out ☺️

Here is a little friendly advice to you Dan:😏

* Most of the trouble in poker occurs through a love affair with the “now” - with impatience. Players want to win now - today. Keep in mind that time opens every door to him who waits. Wait for a good pitch to hit,

*There is no finish line in poker. The journey itself is the destination. Poker should be seen as an endless plane upon which correct percentage play eventually prevails.

* Always keep your mental Equilibrium sharp.

* This is the point you want to get to: A detachment so complete that it almost borders on disinterest. A poker deck does have any personal feelings. Neither should you. Emotions have no place in poker.

* The main edge that you have will be mastering yourself. Your opponents are merely dim outlines that come and go. For the true warrior there is no warfare.

* Death in the game of poker is part of the process, and the game can’t be mastered without including it. This concept must be fully accepted by the player. You never quite control poker. As one of my favourite bands, the Grateful Dead sings: When life looks like easy street, there is danger at the door (Uncle John’s Band, opening track on Workingman’s Dead.)

* Recent studies by the Danish scientist, Tor Nørretranders suggest that the conscious mind is really only the tip of the iceberg of what we know, and that we actually possess much more knowledge than we are consciously aware of. Nørretranders says that during any given second we consciosly only process sixteen of the eleven million bits of information our senses pass on to our brain.

* We put too much emphasis on winning. When you join a table, it should be neutrally - without ego, attitude, emotional agendas, thoughts of past successes, or other preconceptions. Just play the game. Don’t dream up a lot of dark plot scenarios and accompanying characters. The game is fine. It does not need a plotline. It does not need characters.

* Poker is a kind of Rorschach test, mirroring the personality of the player, his needs and desires. Because of this, you need to ask yourself: Why am I really at the table? Because whatever your underlying motives are, they will show up in the game.

* Once you have prevailed, be if as you had not.

I think we're interested in the same stuff (sounds like you're an "Art of war" fan - me too). Imo poker and life are the same thing. They are extensions, or representations of eachother.

Poker without meditation is suboptimal, and ego will ensure that, both profit wise and in how you live. Poker can and should be used to improve life, only -and that's what I want to help as people with as possible.

EVERY poker pro I have spoken to on this agrees on 1 thing. Poker is fair - the battleground that we can use to navigate and live life, if we're succesful.

glglgl with everything Jean <3 Happy Sunday

I have never met a player who lives and breaths what we are talking about (like the stoics), for just 1 year, and is not at least crushing mid stakes.

What a surprise 😅. <3

Still haven't even seen 2mins. of any streaming???

Yes, I have read Sun Tzu several times. The Art of War by the Chinese general is a true masterpiece. Written 500 before Christ give or take some decades.
I’m even more influenced by iL Principe (1512) by Niccolo Machiavelli.
And third, but not last, the definitive book on warfare: Carl von Clausewitz: Vom Kriege (About War, 1830.) These books has learned me more about poker than any work written specifically about poker.
Disclaimer: Since I won’t reveal my poker Alias to CC, I will - according to the terms of service - be “demoted” to Bronze. I see this “demotion” as Badge of Honor. Meanwhile muppets like PokerOrifice will spam with pointless nonsense just to hinge to their Platinum status.😂

On standstill versus progressive and dialectic discussions:

Eccochambers and anemic grooming lead to no evolution and no new insights. It is perhaps gentle but bottomline fruitless. The discussion is in a standstill. No new territory explored. An abundance of posts with shallow value.

On the other hand the powerfull and progressive discussions evolves on something the German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel put in perspective. It is as simple as it is effectfull: Thesis >< Antithesis = Synthesis.
New territory of insights is an outcome of somewhat conflicting ideas. But the interconnection and intertwinement eventually leads to new recognition. Barren and bold territory. This synthesis has elements of both thesis and antithesis. The best threads in any forum is eo ipso the progressive and dialectical ones. Disagreement and not consensus is the hallmark of the progressive and thriving discussion.
The word “chat” leans more towards the anemic and undangerous. Discussion in its original latin meaning demands more from the involved parties. Based on a rather small sample my initial conclusion is that CC is mostly just chat. Kind of logic given the name of the forum. I am not especially fond of just chatting. But it has its moments.
