155 hands!? LoL!!
I've already watched you quite a lot online and whilst i do not play the same pre flop (i prefer value betting looser opponents + taking the fold equity from tighter opponents), i do in-corporate the smaller pots / tight approach post flop, albeit in a raised pot..
..and what you say is right. It does improve win rate, decrease variance etc; which is great because the only consequence is playing those few hands more.. 155 tho? LOL.. is this video in 2 or 3 parts :)

Hi Brilliant27,
Very happy to see a video by you up here, you play a very similar style to me when I'm not being impatient. Very impressive.
I come across a lot more aggressive and spewy opponents down here at the lower levels than the guy you played.
I'm guessing you exclusively play the regular speed games? It allows you to capitalise on your superior post-flop ability and explains why you've got such a high ROI.
Hope to see more of you on the site, looking forward to part 2!

I'd love to see some pro's comments on this small ball approach as i've never seen anyone at a $100+ level do this
along with all the "big" pro's on this site.
Great stats though Brialliant and thx for the video.

Zakwray: The video is 2 parts J. Thanks for watching!
Mangansie: Thanks for the compliment. Glad you enjoyed part 1 of the video! Ya this guy was very tight, but I also come across more aggressive players as well. I do only play reg speeds on full tilt. Part 2 should be up tomorrow I think!. Thanks for watching!
Slatey: Pro advice coming from me-I think you can use this at any level, but you have to be great postflop and be able to adjust to your different opponent types postflop (as with any other style you must do the same). But as for other pros, most dislike my style. Which is fine by me, cause I’m only in poker professionally to make a living, not to impress other pros J. So I’m sure if 95% of the other pros watched this vid, theyd prob laugh!. Anyways, thanks for the compliment on my stats and thanks for watching!
Cog: Thanks mate! I just got a membership to husng.com and your videos are my first priority since we have similar styles. I look forward to downloading and watching all your vids. I just saw the video where you play that ultra nit and smallballed him all match, it was great!!!
Frank says:
good approach, but your average buy-in is 50-100$, would you play this way 200$ and more?
