I’ve not seen the journey laid out like that before, enlightening. Excellent content Ginge.

Your channel is so refreshing man, thank you for this.

I have no clue where your channel came from but this is AMAZING content. So down to earth and relatable.. I see you as a true example to follow, well done man

This is probably THE most informational video in regards to a poker journey in present day. Fantastic content!

This video is gold... I can't hit that like button enough and I never comment on the many many youtube videos I have watched but this one I had to. Looking forward to all your content to come and enjoyed your other video on your poker journey and come up incredible. Can't thank you enough for this.

By far the best video i have seen in reference to going from a recreational player to a pro...thanks for putting it out

Nice succinct 'roadmap' with helpful insight at every juncture. This was a great watch 'Ginge'....best of luck to you!

great video! please make more of this series! best poker content out right now!

I really like this guy I can see this chanel flying..

This is some great advice. As someone who is revisiting poker after doing well in the boom but stopped playing due to family etc, I am starting out again on my poker journey. This video will serve as my guide. Thanks, Ginge!!

Devon Morrissey thanks man 🙏

Decent tips for those starting out. I ended up quitting the game years ago, because trying to get to midstakes online wasn't a clearly great life decision given the investment of time + energy that seemed to be required even though I was winning at 50nl and occasionally jumping into 100nl games. The coaches spoke to (both won over $500k each from online cash) almost made it seem like an all or nothing task to beat mid stakes. Essentially "you dedicate yourself to poker fully or you will be wasting your time in the long-run".

Awesome video! Thx for inspiring us! I've just started at NL2, but it's very nice to see how the future path may happen!

Amazing insight and truly inspirational. Best of luck to you on your journey mate, thanks for sharing!

Would love to see and hear your thought process when you are reviewing your own hands, like what questions you are asking yourself through the hand

Ginge, your videos are extremely insightful and helpful. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Super stuff. Thanks for the upload!

I have memberships to numerous coaching sites and none of them lay out a plan like this which shows how to get through all the bottlenecks: financial, informational, political, and mental. You are a boss. I will try my best to follow your advice.

Federico Santoro honestly not sure when it comes to tournies - but it's all about hourly and roi - if your grinding the $55 with a 20% roi (which is high!) you're making $11 on entry, which divided by the ace hours in the tourney which if it's 5 hours is gonna be like $2 an hour... so you need to play a lot of them and reasonably high to have a good hourly

Hey Ginge, literally just found you tonight but watched all your videos lol. Do you think you could make a video explaining your way of viewing Holdem Manager results? I'm new to HM3 using it for small stakes tournaments and have been looking at all in EV and bb/100 over ~5000 hands but I'm not sure how to really use the software. Maybe a video you would suggest watching about it? But would be cool to see you break down exactly how you use the software. I saw in one of your videos a graph with a green and yellow line and you said you ran a bit above EV with the green line being slightly above the yellow, I would love to be able to see something like that for my results! Also just how you would suggest looking at previous hands and trying to learn from them yourself and figure out mistakes. Thanks for the content!!

Thanks for watching! I'll deffo take a look at making this kind of video - but in all honesty I find hm3 much more difficult than hm2. As for tournies you've gotta be careful looking at ev tbh - deep stages in tournies you've gotta do a lot of -ev in game stuff that leads to higher pay outs (but I'm not that clued you about tournies in general)

I thought I recognised your face just saw in another video you used to be in BRS I was there around 2015-2017 top video

Does it make sense to go for a CFP to move up from 1/2 to 2/4 and 5/10 just for the coaching? I have a sufficient bankroll for 5/10 but no motivation to study unless I have some sort of a “teacher” keeping a check on me. But I’ve been mentally reluctant to spend $200/hr on a coach who may not be financially invested in me like a CFP. But then again, giving away 50% of my profits to a CFP when I don’t need the “staking” really seems excessive.

Hey buddy, been enjoying your videos. Just wondering about the visa issue over in Thailand?

Do you think beating the med - high stakes in tournaments could be a more viable route to pursue these days? I quit a 40k package (similar to what you did) a year ago and have been making a good amount more than I was working. Obviously the variance in MTTs can be horrible, but from what I've heard you can go on pretty horrible runs in cash too. Also, I have considered a more mixed approach doing both cash and tournaments, is this something you'd advise?

@GingePoker

Difference with bad runs in cash is that it's a much stronger indicator you don't actually beat the games imo. I personally would try to master your craft whether that be cash holdem or mtts or plo, get to 90% of what you can achieve in that field before branching off

Cash game is 100 BB for a full buy in vs MTTs with often about 60 to 70BB effective stacks, when antes are factored in for the first level, which only lasts 10 to 15 minutes at best. You should use GTO hand ranges for 100 BB, not the 40BB ranges used by many MTT regs. Plus you need to play a more small ball style bet wise, with patience and selective aggression, as the blinds are static and small wrt stacks, so preflop steals are for small profit. Of course, aggro raises multiple times per 100 hands can make blind stealing somewhat profitable if the blinds are nits, but the big money is building a big pot post flop, and winning with or without showdown on Turn or River, much different from many low stakes MTTs (imho).
