this guy seems like a very genuine, smart and straight forward guy. he shared some very honest and under rated advice which anyone can benefit from, not just poker players
Thank you for remembering to include Stefan's blog in the video description.
“arbitrage” is the sports betting strategy that Nikolai was discussing 38:00
Going through a tough downswing to start the year so it's great hearing nikolai talk about the importance of maintaining your win rate and strategy throughout a downswing:)

Cmon buddy its just couple days. You'll turn it around soon
If you ever get Stefan for the pod please ask him this “What does he think of Tournament poker and why he doesn’t play them” I think he would have a very interesting take and probably would be an eye opener for many

One of the best and humble highroller,great podcast🎉
the advice on rest is good to know, i have an absolute loving obsession with the game at the and could easily play 7 days a week and enjoy it but knowing to take a day break is good for both mental state aswell as personal life balance

@@MechanicsOfPokerJust a suggestion, there is a great channel A game(eng) hosted by avr0ra and another one that only speak Russian, but they have a channel with English voice over so it is possible and it would bring so many views to the podcast. Davy Jones had always been an icon it would be awesome if you could do it
Spotify when? The part about solving the rubics cube may not work for audio only, but generally speaking I used to enjoy listening to this podcast on spotify while working out, but I've noticed that the last episode and this one is missing on there - I hope you will start uploading on spotify again if it's not too inconvenient for you.

Yosh, Ive been reaching a cool 20bb/100 winrate in micros,.. Before going UP i try to understand where would bé thé diferences btw m'y 20/100bb and a 35 or 40/100bb... I try to explore more low ev exploitative Plays.. Or just try to improve m'y average ev.. It seems to me to bé Somewhere in btw those two approach... Any thought, Idea on this please?! 🙂👍❤️

This has to be a small hand sample right? Win rates of 10bb/100 are considered crushing the games. But if ur 20bb/100 is from a 2k hand sample then it doesn't prove anything. Basically no one can achieve a 20bb/100 win rate at stakes higher then micros
