The Best In The Business

[pleno1]

Great contribution!!! Only, dont you have the feeling the more such sites exist, the harder competition gets? At least we earn money with those strats. But still love yor engagement, just not sure, how long we can survive in this business with that good of content as such in your blog. Very selfish, i know, but beside the fun,  I play poker to pay my bills. You describe yorselfe to be a pokerecologist. What is your approach?

All the best for you and your dogs!i:)

I think that as players if we do the right thing and as sites we do the right thing and as coaches we do the right thing, then good will prevail and poker will continue.

Right now we have a tremendous decline in poker due to governements but also due to the way that poker is being run from the top down (I exclude stars)

Example, ipoker skin a few years ago had a good position in the stock market. Their share holders would receive detailed information regarding Sports Book, Casino and Poker. Sports Book and Casino was always good and in poker they had some really big rakers. They were poached by another room and the poker room eventually gave them a huge rakeback deal that put profits down but they could still say "Turnover is X and steady" as the promotions would always make profit higher or lower (WSOP packages, rake races etc) and these few rakers got 120% rakeback which would probably be 10s of thousands and the guy in his office kept his job.

If they spent 50k a month bringing in recreational players then it would be way better for the long term of their room AND the long term of poker.

Its kinda similar to poker, if we make forums dead, if we make poker boring and if we dont make fun things to read then who knows what will happen? If we strive to maximise the potential of his ridiculously interesting, deep and fun game then perhaps we as a community can help it last longer.

The iPoker skin is now dead I think or at least not on iPoker, Stars is still here and Id bet will be here way longer than any of the guys just thinking about "today"

fwiw, thats exactly the opposite of what DTD are doing now and DTD definitely thinking about the longer term and trying to do things smartly rather than Rob pming guys on here and giving them huge rakeback deals. WP them recently.

Ok, so I have been working on the website for the last week or so, writing some content, polishing a couple of things and changing a few layout things. I am creatively terrible, so its not easy. I found a name I liked and went with it, hopefully it will grow on people but I dont want it to be the reason people click or dont click on the site.

http://wugwug.com/

In the site you have my Blog where I will be updating every few weeks.

http://wugwug.com/category/blog/

And then I will be doing free content, interviews with players and podcasts.

There is absolutely no way for me to monetery gain right now from the site. I explain all my reasons in the blog and thus linking here should be fine, let me know if otherwise true mods but people link to their blogs all the time on signatures etc.

The content will be what I will hope is "easy read" content that is actually very viable. In poker I often see the following two things

1- Content that is so advanced and is only appreciated by very few people
2- Content that is just so simple that its boring

I want to be somewhere in the middle there where I dont write about GTO or super complex math problems but I write lots of articles about delicate parts of the game that I feel people struggle with. I will be making free videos for all stakes and will really be trying to make it very active.

As well as the strategy content I want to introduce cool people to you. There are SO many characters playing poker that you would never know or ever associate to play poker. I will try to interview as many of these guys as possible. The In The Tank is empty right now, but just done an interview with "Coopah" and should be a pretty fun read.

Ill of course still be a very active member of this community and keep posting all throughout the forum as well as in this thread. Lots and lots of love here 



Really good Site.
Enjoyed the podcasts.

Just wrote a blog about some upcoming content, a little bit of Heads Up Strategy and then finally my new favourite video of all time. If you dont want to read just scroll to the bottom and watch the video. It is hilarious! But read anyway!
