Hey Ryan (what an honor!), I would like to know if there's some formula to get a range mathematically profitable to play in accord on blinds and ante. How did players discover that some certain ranges and strategies are suitable having certain stack size?

If a person min raises hu you are getting 3 to 1 on your money, thus your MDF (min def freq) is 75%, not 50%.Lorpugo said:
This also ignores hand equities and playability.
Generally hu you should be defending 85%+ vs a minraise.
Speed of betting and specific sizing are huge tells in online poker.KristaK said:
It is very player specific, but worth looking out for!
Id play any of the biggest GTD satties each week, and only play in events im completely ok with losing in.CRStals said:
Focus on growing your roll organically and then your goal of playing it is far more likely to be achieved.

Hello there, i would to hear from a professional about management, do you use excel to put your balances at poker (eg: buy-ins, cash games stakes, profits, losses). And if you do, could you put the structure of them on onedrive, and if you don't can you tell me how you keep records about these things.
Ryan how do you deal with this. In mtts you need to play strong hands bcause there are 8 more players on table but the blinds keep increasing. What factors push the red lamp. Lets say to open King ten off or somethin similar from middle position. Is it your stack compared only to pot at your table is it your stack to average stack is it your stack vs bubble stack or your stack compared to final table stacks first nine. When do you start gamble when you get close to ten big blinds or your stack compared to others or combined of these reasons. Thanks
Going from some as everyone else in the beginning
As the game progresses and we start to get into the middle of the tournament you notice you have 50,000 in chips , started with 2000 like everyone else the next highest player is at 22,000 and just about everyone else still in the game is roughly at 3000 to 9000 in chips ... you ever go from way up there in the heavens and even from there only choosing to play premium hands only pocket rockets to pocket tons either calling all ins preflop or calling big raises I've had a chip lead like that before and ended up not even placing in the money in a tournament that started with a few hundred I ended up placing in 18th place ... I wonder in my head how did that happen why did that and how could I have prevented those big hits with good cards pocket kings losing to king ten on a lucky river for a straight or pocket aces losing to pocket 6 catching a set on the flop ... things like that happening ... ever happen to you ? How can I prevent that from ever happening again ... the same way I got up was the same way i went down making gutsy calls ...

Hey Ryan, I read, that you use PokerTracker4 for your hand analysis and I wonder if you could give us some tipps about this and how you go through the thought process of this.
I guess, you don't go through every single hand after a tourney.
Therefore, how often do you do this and when? Directly after tourney or a day later?
How much time, do you spend on it?
Which hands are worth for you to be marked? How do you categorize them in your mind and why? Can you give us maybe some sample hands and also your conclusions about them?
How do you learn on them or improve for the next time, if you do it on your own?

Still new
we have a bar poker league in my hometown of Memphis. I’m not able to go much anymore because of family stuff. I started playing online with BOL. Mainly their windfall tournaments and few select low stake tourneys. As an American what are some good options for real money sites that are safe? I don’t want to just download them all and dump $50 into each account, that’s a lot of money.

When I review I do a full tourney. 200 hands will take me around 1 hour.whiskers77 said:
I then mark hands Im uncertain of and run them in PIO/HRC/Icmizer. I used to do this a lot more often, now I mostly discuss spots with friends I think are interesting.
Real sample hands would take awhile. I oost interesting hands and polls most days to twitter tho. (@Protentialmn)
