First Post

I have decided to take on my first CFP at BestPokerCoaching.com and see if it can improve my game.
I’ve played for 19 years now and since the accident now 10 years ago with the Back Op, my playing hours have almost stopped. However, this CFP contract is a minimum 300 playing hrs in a year long. But even for me that’s pushing it but I’m prepared to give it a go.
I joined last Saturday night which is the 24th August and just 5 days ago. I’ve paid the security deposit of €250 which is refundable once the contract is complete.
To complete the contract, I must win over €5000 net. With BPC I should have all the tools to breeze through it, but we shall see.
I am also taking notes to maximise my opportunity and go back over things that I believe will help me complete this journey. So far no poker, I’m in no rush at all to get going, I’d rather take it all in, take notes, write the blog and see how it runs first. If you’ve played for the amount of time I have, you tend to slow down anyway.
I have my first lesson in just over an hour, so it’s just enough time to go over some of the opening videos on the welcome videos.

Delayed CBet

In this video, I observed the delayed CBet with hero. The play goes like this - Villain raises and we call with a hand preflop. After the flop the villain who raised now checks after we check to the raiser. The turn card we now lead (the delayed CBet) with about 65% pot. Villain will most likely fold and if he does call we have to make a decision on the river. We only do this delayed C-Bet when we have some value in our hand. Don’t do this at every opportunity with bluffs because we will quickly get sussed out. So we must have some value in our hand to carry out this play.

Week 3 updates

I continue to study and make notes. This is the new stuff I’ve learned since the last update. Still not played Poker, instead concentrating on my studies. I have now downloaded the Hand2Note poker tracker. I think I have also incorporated the BPC hud but will need to double check that. The Golden Formula (Pre-flop) This is the only way to play poker, we need to %winning > % of total pot invested.  An example is - we are facing a $50 river bet and there’s $100 in the pot already. So we need to be correct 25% of the time (1 in 4) to make this a winning call. We may know we are beat 75%, but the call is still the correct play. This needs to be drilled into the mind because it’s such an important lesson. $100 in the pot already + Villain $50 & our $50 = $200. Our call bet of $50 is then divided by the pot to give us the pot odds 1 in 4 which is 25%. Break even threshold means - Required % to win on a bluff. We make a $50 bet on the river (bluffing) int...
