Watched the MTT Video last night and is says that if I only picked up 1 leason it was to approach these with the attitude to build a stack not try to just keep it. Very true of me live where I am just not half as aggresive as I am on line and while I have regularly cashed over the last few months its usually for minimum proft with no big result. So, went to tourney tonight with the attitude that I would be putting the pressure on. Lasted 20 mins when I re raised my aq into aa , so much for improving your game

is the mtt guy Andy Ward?

he has the only poker blog I ever read so I expect his videos to be really good, surprised anyone is criticizing them

Did you watch it? Limping AJ, QT and KJ in 5/6 handed pots cant be good advice for anyone imo. I only watched the 1st 2 minutes but it was enough. Look there's a million ways to be a winner in mtt, tons of different ways to skin a cat but i fail to see how doing the above is +ev.

Edit - thats not to put a dampener on it. I'll be joining up. people might disagree with me and think it's good strat.

Andy Ward has a 3 part series where he wins the $300k gtd on Party Poker and its really good (he doesnt play any of the hands above) He talks about all the hands he played throughout the tournie and he recorded it live from 14 players out. Defo worth the watch

Hey, I've currently a bankroll of $1500 and I play sngs only (10 seater). Will the silver membership be good enough for me? Are there plenty of sng videos on the site or is it mainly cash? Thanks.

Hey Aedh, we currently have 3 SNG videos on the site which was a guest series from 'Kazor'. That was a complete intro to SNG's...I would say our site is focused on cash games with lots of great content from the likes of Pacuno, Traheho and PoorUser... we also have a lot of MTT videos from the likes of Andy Ward and the content in them is excellent. So I would say if you are looking to improve your overall game, you would get a lot from the silver membership on PokerSwat... However, we wont be releasing much SNG content over the next few months...

Mr.Plough

Theoreticals vid was good

Enjoy poorusers and -nonames- aswell

Ozzys are pretty dissapointing. For example, i'm going to know that its better to play more hands from the button if i'm playing 50/100 hu v prahlad

The Snapper

IMHO Some of the best stuff on there are the Hectorjelly vids. Content and presentation is very professional.

I agree HJ's content is excellent but he really needs to sort out the sniffles:P

meathman 007

^^ lol, didnt even notice them tbh. From a personal point of view, I have learned the most from Pacunos NLH videos and I think every single one of them has some excellent content.

Theoreticals latest video went up today... The start of a new heads up series, starting at .50/1 and finishing at 3/6. The last two videos will have dual commentary from Traheho as well.

We just completed the signings of two of the best small-mid stake pros around and will announce that on Monday.

Hey PKR,

As of last week, the development of the new PokerSwat site began. As part of this, downloadable videos will become available. In all likelihood DRM will be on the videos.

I will post further information about it closer to the launch of our new site.
