Message: [QUOTE="608xperience, post: 3871859, member: 264425"] DISCLAIMER: I am an Upswing Lab member, Upswing Twitch/YouTube stream moderator and Upswing Lab forum moderator. I also proofread/write for the site, so by all means take my comment with a grain or two of salt. My views are heavily biased. Okay, first off, let's get to the meat and potatoes: The Postflop Game Plan (previously called the Postflop Engine) is a great introduction into how Polk and Fee view hand categorization in terms of raw equity and how categories change vs board texture. The Lab takes that strategy and expands it dramatically in terms of both breadth and depth. PGP basically begins and ends with basic Preflop strategy and 1st level postflop play. The Lab builds on that by adding 3-bet and 4-bet pots, multiway pots, SPR evaluations, 3-bet pots as PFR, 3-bet pots as PFC, BB defence (both HU and multiway pots). There are also extensive database reviews, tournament hand-history reviews, GTO strategy discussions and "Play & Explain" videos for exploitative and GTO/balanced strategies. Basically, the Upswing Lab should be able to take you from the micros all the way to the mid-stakes and crush. There are Lab members who play $100+ tournaments / 100NL and higher cash games and still benefit from the content. There are Skype discussion groups and a site forum for discussing spots. The community is extremely supportive. A note on Fee's 6-max PDF: The strategy is solid and is useful for a beginner 2NL grinder. Be aware that the guide's ranges are suitable for cash games and not MTTs, however; you'd be excessively nitty playing MTTs with the ranges defined in the 6-max guide. IMO, YMMV and all that. Doug Polk and Ryan Fee are active with providing content and interact with the community. I can't speak for the other site, but I consider Upswing's Lab to be an excellent investment. With the addition of Fried Meulders and Parker "tonkaaaap" Talbot in the coaching staff, Upswing will continue to provide outstanding content for years to come. [/QUOTE]
