VIDEOS AND NOTES FROM URI'S DISCORD BLOG
[WATCH] Uri 4-tabling ante games (Wild west!)
Another liveplay/exploit video - I 4table ante games which have a lot of limping, multiway, weird sizing - and show how i think about spots I haven't really studied
[WATCH] Hand review - solverless
I'm trying out a new series, if you guys like these i'll make a lot more and we can make it into a [node in Lab 2.0]. The idea is that for a lot of guys the best way to build up intuition and knowledge is studying without solvers at all.
[WATCH] Hand review with solvers
Others are at the stage where they want to study with solvers but it's a bit tough to make sense of it. So I'm making a series where we go through hands solverless and then s parallel episode goes through one of the hands with a solver and breaks down the dynamics and how to study/understand it.
"If you manage to keep the process of play-->review-->study-->improve you'll get to where you want to be eventually"
