Pretty solid article, without anything groundbreaking imo. Would have been interested if he had expanded on playing loose in the early game as this is a topic of much controversy still in sngs as to whether this increases your roi, or just increases your varience.

good read, btw what is the correct play to his trivia at the bottom?

i fold the j7 on the bb to a push

i push on the button with 97, id push on the button blind tbh

Headed in the right direction, much better than the last one, this article might actually help people.



Going to try be constructive again... I found it a bit waffly.

[fergus8]

is it not intentionally meant to be a bit waffly so you have a taste of what hes got to say and go buy his book or whatever to find out more?

just how i see these small pieces

[thetank]

I suppose it could be.

Not to my tastes though, I prefer an article to have a narrow focus and explain something well. That'd make me more inclined to buy book or whatever.

Each to their own though.

lol no custom here either

That it is what i would do.

The j7 hand is a call if sb is pushing over 66% so in some circurmstances it is a call.

The 97 is a super standard push.

Virtually ATC is a super standard push.

no?

Depends on the flow of the match as pushing ATC is not inexploitable (top 50-60% is) but yeah against most opponents im shoving blind.

I am a long time member of Blonde and I find Deans articles well written, informative and really good reads.
Dare I say the best on Blonde.

I haven't read any other articles but if that's the case then blonde must have some shoddy articles!

Thought the article was 'ok', but when i'd finished the page i was like 'yep, and wheres the rest of it', he was about 1/4 of the way through what he could have discussed, or so it felt...

[bolt pp]

pretty much what everyone else was saying.

Longy: "solid", true but you cant but help feel it was pointlessly solid.

Tank: "headed in the right direction", from what i understand about the last one wasnt difficult.

chipprince summed it up really: "where's the rest of it"?

A recreational SNG player with a +ROI% could've done as good a job it seemed

It left me thinking it was alright, but why bother?

His set up is terrible.

1 tabling on a small monitor with no extra monitor or anything.

His desk looks poor too.
