Message: [QUOTE="perrypip, post: 5772386, member: 432777"] How about just changing the name of the course to "Become A Winning Poker Player In 30 Lessons"? That way there's no implication that you'll do it in 30 days. In fact because of variance, just to know you are a winning player can take longer than 30 days. That takes multiple tens of thousands of hands and that takes multiple hundreds of hours of play at single table. And you probably shouldn't be multitabling while you're first trying to learn how to play. It's still a very good beginner level course. And it's free!!! Don't see how anyone can complain. Like other beginner level courses it doesn't go deep into any underlying theory, i.e GTO and exploitive play, reverse exploitation, balancing ranges, defence frequencies, etc. If you want to move up to a professional level you will need to learn these things as well. But that's a little much for a beginner course and not needed to beat the micros. Also while courses like this are targeted to the micros and small stakes, they do assume the players you are playing against have some basic skill. In the 6 max micros I frequently find players who are loose and very passive which makes them next to impossible to read. They will limp and once they've limped they're determined to see a flop so they call your ISO raise even when its large. I frequently end up in 3 and 4-way flops and I have to throw out most of my hands because I don't have enough strength to continue against that many players and can't pull of bluffs. It can be a test of patience because I'm sticking to tight ranges, waiting longer for them to finish the hands I don't play, and then folding most of hands I do play on the flop because I missed it and there's 3 other players. There is much more variance in this sort of game. If you let it tilt you even these crappy players end up getting the better of you. So I do think its true than the course teaches a more in depth game that what you might encounter in 6 max micros. But to beat games like that you just need to stick to good tight preflop ranges and play some ABC poker after the flop. Basically just dumb down your game and have more patience. And certainly don't complain about a free online poker course that actually takes you beyond that level of play. [/QUOTE]
