$25----->25k Bankroll Challenge on Ignition
I am going to be starting with $25 in my Ignition Account and try to spin it up to $25,000.
I will start at 5nl since it
The only known pro that I follow, who has more than 100k subscribers, is Phil Galfond. And his channel still seems to be a way to, subtly, funnel clients to his training site. Which is the point of Saulo's channel for example, just look at how, nowadays, he only starts to deliver content a few weeks prior to launching something new or reopening subs for his community etc.You we
Yeah good point on how most people use YT. To funnel clients to their website/course launch.
I enjoy making videos for sure and will probably take some classes on video editing to make the presentation better and reduce the volume of videos substantially. I think people will want to see higher stakes so can do that as well for a future idea.
Putting out a video every day sounds exhausting, idk how you did it!
Agree that quality > quantity for YouTube
Yeah it was difficult lol. But I like the idea of doing 1 quality video that is 1. Longer. 2. Cleaner Editing
Then the alternative of low editing daily videos.
This is busy season at my day job but I have some good $$$ coming in soon so I want to
1. Play higher stakes (thinking like 500nl/1knl on ACR) for content
2. Get better at editing
Do you know of anyone who teaches YT video editing (poker content specifically) on an hourly rate basis?
This thread is going to be resurrected soon.
1. I don’t want to play poker for a living.
2. I have realized poker YT is too niche for online players to make good money off it.
3. I have secured a good job with 3 of my friends (non poker job).
4. I’m not a fan (this is a euphemism) of the vlog/social media culture wrt to poker (think Dnegs crying about a river play as a 50 year old man or Hellmuth acting like a bratty teenager to get views).
My goal in live poker (not sure about online) is to move a player from a non emotional state to an emotional state as quickly as possible since hands are limited but exposure time is not. So you need to find ways (this is risky for some people) to move someone from a comfortable mind state to an uncomfortable one.
The fundamental problem I have with the overly theoretical approach is you are
1. Passive (not a good strategy in practice)
2. Not understanding edges. If you are grinding out 5bb edges based on fundamental theory/exploits then I think this is missing the forest for the trees.
Your number one goal is to move someone’s fundamentals into an extreme state (think Stefan in the CoinPoker Challenge in the 500nl challenge).
The current meta is volume volume volume but that really doesn’t encapsulate how edges are formed. The goal is to win 0EV spots online and make weaker players play you much differently than the status quo when playing live.
what's the job?
it kinda sounds like you are saying that you try to be an ahole at the tables - that's never a good idea imo

I am learning to be an electrician for concerts and sporting events plus some festivals.
Yeah I do think there is a fine line between being an A hole and playing like an A hole though.
One of the potential problems with live poker is people will think “bullying” the table is me being an assho.le but it’s not personal at all. If you take my money I will say nice hand and leave but the opposite isn’t always true so you find yourself pandering to the lowest common denominator because you might hurt someone’s feelings.
I do think you raise legitimate concerns though. What do you think is a fair compromise?
On a side note one obsession I used to find myself in was analyzing EV always from monetary standpoints but it’s really dumb from a more important perspective.
People treat poker as a vacuum which is 100% the wrong way to treat it imo.
Happiness metrics fall off a cliff after you make around 75k-100k a year so it doesn’t matter if you make 100k or 200k in a very real sense.
That means I’d rather play a more fun and potentially lower EV style than a higher EV more conservative style if both are still profitable (I would never do it if the style was negative or break even since I am playing to make money though).
I’m not “maximizing EV” but I am enjoying the process and that’s more important.
You can’t separate life strategy from poker strategy.
I would still consider myself semi pro since I work 3 weeks on and then get a few weeks off so I still play for profit.
But I live in the United States so the cost of living is high and I also live in New England. I would probably be pro if I lived somewhere else though like Texas.
Glad to see you posting again. Played any live poker recently?
There are benefits. If you also like Texas Hold'em, please contact me on Telegram @WBpoker08

Nice. Trades like this are somewhat insulated from our AI and robot overlords in the future.
So you're going to create a toxic environment in live games to get your opponents off their game? Sounds like a good way to kill the game and act unethically. Also the 75-100k can work living as a single person, but you can't support a family in most areas on that money. Money does buy happiness - making more money doesn't always equal more stress/less time/etc. There's non-traditional avenues to make money online that will take less of your time and pay much better. Would focus on exploring those options.
lol. Doodoo u need to elaborate a bit more on how ur going to make people emotional?
not super convinced that being an asshole is bad for the game. look at helmuth/kabrehl.. they are good for the game.

Yeah I don’t want to create anything negative it’s just a way to make more money.
I enjoy poker so I don’t only play it for money. Focusing on exploring an opportunity just to make money doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Haha I haven’t completely decided but not the status quo for sure. I definitely don’t want to be an objective ******* but I’ll toe the line.
Some people get offended if you 3bet so I don’t care about this demographic. It’s more about getting people to play differently without being obvious.
Just finished a 9 day job with 110 ten degree hear working 15 hours a day. I’ll be hitting the casino tomorrow and will update.
Happy 4th! Joey Chestnut ftw.
Dropped a new YT video.

This seems like a terrible way to use or interpret data / statistics. I don't doubt that you have seen statistics that claims this. But on a deeper level there are a bunch of caveats and it makes no sense. Money buys you time, and time equal-ish happiness. You don't necessarily get happier with more money but you can also get the privilege to try some passion or dream career of yours. Or just take time off to spend with friends/family. High salary or not doesn't really matter if you spend it all, but I assuming you save its up to you to turn it into happiness. This is a subject I thought a lot about in the last few years since I know plenty of hs/ms regs that complain about the state of poker. But in reality a lot of them got a huge head start and can legit afford to lose money for years while learning a new craft or creating something new.
A few things to discuss as I haven't updated this thread in over a month
1. New Video dropping today for the YT channel.
A professional video editor reached out to me and offered to help me with my future videos. I am curious to see how much this impacts viewership (he thinks it will impact it a lot).
2. I've been playing more live poker and I am going to start studying live MDA.
The goal for the YT channel is to grow so I'll be mixing online with live to do that. I recently uploaded H2N's sample live DB and am going to start making professionally edited videos on how to exploit live opponent's based on data
H2N preview

Live MDA + professionally editing should make for some very interesting content!
Agree that Live MDA material would be very interesting. Keen to see how you go about collecting and/or rehashing the data.

Poker youtube could be huge even with a very small but tight following imho. keep at it!
Our boy TripleBerryJam has made a sick mda website.
I also made a video on my YT if you want to check that out.
^Yeah, I beta tested the site a bit. It’s a pretty cool and straightforward way to study cash game MDA.
