3Pairs (Email)

Daniel,

My name is Ryan , or 3Pairs on Poker VT and other sites (sometimes 3pairsUK depending on the site). I just wanted to thank you and your team, Poker VT is the best piece of poker learning I have come across. I am a big fan of the small ball approach from the smaller raise preflop to the check call for say 1000 rather than bet 1000 then get re raised and fold - why not see the turn for the same price huh?. I was doing a lot of the stuff anyway but not really pining myself as a small ball player or any other type of player for that matter. With the help of Poker VT my results both online and live have improved dramatically and my confidence of playing small bet poker to the river rather than scaring people away on the flop has been the biggest factor.

I would....well I already do....recommend Poker VT to anyone.

Thanks again

Ryan (3pairs)

PS: The reason I am called 3pairs on poker sites is because when I started playing poker just over a year ago I was convinced I had beat someones full house with 3 pairs. Everyone laughed at me of course but we all have to learn. Just thought that would make you laugh.

Wow. I LOVED Junglen's videos. I watched all of them as well as DN's beginners videos to patch up obvious leaks(which were embarrassing when I noticed them) and it has improved my tournament game DRAMATICALLY.

I entered a tournament I normally play, the 5.50 NLHE MTT at 6:00 pm PST, keeping in mind what I had just learned and got 4th out of 1500 for a cool 400!! Obviously the system just paid for itself and I have barely even sunk my teeth in.

In the thread in gen poke, JC stated how you must consider how you invest in a poker training program to earn more money which is what convinced me. I am obviously a micro tournament grinder and feel way more confident in my abilities now over the rest of the field.

Invest in the program; you will not regret it!!

THANK YOU DN!

THE WEBSITE IS AMAZING!! From Small Ball to Learn the Math with CS and even annette's online tournaments. SMALL BALL: what an awesome way to beat the game, it's actually supported by the math, which suprised me GREAT JOB DN. CHARLIE SWAYNE: that says it all right there, this guy is a math GENIUS, he has such a great philosophy on the game and that really helps me understand bad beats and sucking out. Dont even get me started on the N-SPAT, very nice touch DANIEL..

Everyone who hasn't tried it yet, it is well worth the admission fee.

Yeeeess. I needed this. So many things have clicked for me instantaneously. While I'm not ALWAYS winning, my current ROI has been high once I put what I learned from Poker VT into play. I went from a frustrated heads up player, to a guy who easily wins more than not. So confidently that I tried playing a $20 shoot out tourny on Full Tilt on Sunday, to win the first round easily and of all the players left in the second round, who do they put me up against? Of course Scott Fischman, who cracks my pocket Kings with Q-5 unsuited and leaves me wobbly.

But after I shook it off, it was back to the ring games, sit and goes, and smaller tournies that felt like I was somehow cheating, everything seemed so much more obvious and easy to play after watching and digesting what the site has to offer.

My suggestions? Quite simple. More, more... Dear god more!!!

That and some lessons I still really need to learn, while I seem to have figured out limit Omaha hi/lo (and seem to dominate at the really low limit tables), I still struggle with Omaha PL, both hi/lo and hi.

Finally, money management. Disciple, you say, is one of the key factors that makes a pro, and it might be common sense, but I honestly believe I need serious training on how to know how to take care of my wins/income when I'm facing a really bad run of cooler hands, getting rivered over and over again (which has happened to me, and I seem to finally be out of!)

I'm happy I signed up to Poker VT. Update always! ;-P

Are you sure this stuff isn't illegal?  I am having pros ask me "What the hell have you done boy?"

I am sorry if my update bother you but you will not believe this. I have won two Satellite tournament at the Horshoe for the Main Event in Vegas now.  I was the slight chip leader in one and got over $5000 and won last night and chopped it with the largest portion going to me, being $7500.  These were $120 rebuy tournaments at the Horseshoe.  I only bought 1 rebuy last week and none this week, with over 100 in the first and I think there were 80 in the second.  I have now won 5 tournaments and placed in 2 more out of 9, in less than 2 weeks!  
When I walk into the poker room, there are people that actually groan!

I made the guys sick!  I read players like never before!  I told guys when they had K's.  I knocked a big time player out with a call that had a Q on the board an I had paired the 9 with my little 9-2.  She came up to me later and begged me to tell her how I read her that way!  I was at the final table and the second in chips went all in and my gut told me that he was bluffing.  I won the match and knocked him out with Ace High!  Everyone knew that I was the worst at reading players until now.  They are going to start asking me if I am the Robert Johnson of the poker world and did I sell my soul at the cross roads.  I thought it might be a rush but after 5 wins and a ton of cash, no one is saying it's just a rush anymore.

Tell Daniel thanks.  I owe you guys a huge dinner!  I know you guys can't go out with everyone, but I would like to give you a gift certificate to some place nice.  That way, even though I wouldn't be there, I could say I paid for Daniel Negreanu's dinner!  HA! You guys deserve it for all the hard work.  If you guys need a quote for your site, just say the word.  I must be the poster child.

Thanks,
Paul Brevard

p.s. How much to shut down the site!?

YeeI have found that the cash game video's have helped me a lot thus far. I mostly play sit and go's and MTT. After watching the video's from boostedJ I decided to try out some 1/2 NL 6 max. I have profited about $1000 so far in about 2 weeks playing a few hours a day.

Pokertrainingguide.com

The biggest selling point of PokerVT is that it is simply a more enjoyable way to learn. The site is layed out beautifully, and the live video lectures and lessons are not only informative, they are simply a pleasure to watch. The quality of instructors is definately key here, and we will look forward to viewing more videos from this team. There are also a couple of side games to play: D's nuts, and poker jargon which are fun for a few minutes. Also remarkably, even with all the resource issues, the loading times of this site are very fast. Even faster than some of the regular basic html based sites out there.

Just signed up, spent 2 hours going through the small ball strategy, great stuff. The hand analysis is really awesome great job daniel!

Potomophobia(FCP Member)

I haven't watched much more than Daniels' small ball section....... about 1/2 way through.

So far........ this alone is worth the price of admission.

20TN40(FCP Member)

Just watched the first section and part of the second section of Charley Swayne............I GOT IT!!!! Finally, after all this time, a relatively simple explaination that I can wrap my brain around so quickly. Awesome.......SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!

Khanivore(FCP Member)

I am new to full contact poker and poker vt but so far its excellent. I was a member of poker x factor and card runners and they were excellent sites however the quality of the videos and staring at a poker board got boring after awhile and was hard to stay focused.

I really like this premise, and if its updated this site will definitely be the premier site. Every thing is explained very well and very naturally. For me the most important parts are the math, and its explained exceptionally well here.

For those complaining about the start up and monthly fees etc, I don't get it. If your even looking to learn to play poker which is obvious if your interested in poker vt then I would hope you are planning on also making profit playing poker. I would then assume and hope you would be looking to make more than a couple hundred bucks which would more than pay for using this site. Knowlege is power and you can't expect it to be free. Also this is the same price that the other two sites charge when its obvious this site costs way more to run and has had a hell of a lot more backing put into it.

The last point is its FEATURING DANIEL N, PAUL WASICKA, KIRK M. These 3 names are very big names in the industry, why would they put out something that is crap to tarnish there name or image? I am surprised people even have to ask if the site is good backed by those names. I signed up within minutes of finding out about this site purely on the idea that Daniel was attached and as long as I have been following poker and playing (not long, little of a year) Daniel has always come off as a very reputable guy, so he would not put out something that is crap to tarnish what he has worked hard to build for so long like his image.

Overall I would highly recommend. Forget about the start up fees, and monthly payments and be thankful we have resources like this rather than what the players had to deal with back in the day.

Topic is supposed to say - Poker VT Has Improved My Play 10 Fold no way to rename a topic on this board??

Just a post to say that the PokerVT team, and Daniels small ball strategy in particular, has started to pay off for me already. I am so glad I joined the site. Daniel and company are GREAT instructors -- they really break down the concepts they are teaching well and make it very easy to learn and understand. I'm super impressed!!

I find there is a HUGE difference in the QUALITY of the instruction from Daniel and the other instructors at PokerVT vs the various other online training sites. In the past I was a member of another poker training site (plus ive had access to the most popular ones) and PokerVT is my favourite.

Ive was not been playing very well before I joined PokerVT. I had lost some of the enthusiasm I once had for poker but this site has excited me about poker again, which only fuels my desire to learn all I can and become a really good player again.

I just joined a few days ago and already I have had 1 final table, plus I made the top 25 last night in a tournament and 18th tonight in the same tourney, to which I directly attribute to the training i've received here so far.

I had my opponents frustrated, I got paid on almost all my value bets on the river, picked off bluffs, people were going broke to me by overplaying their hands while I only played big pots with big hands, I even had a guy say how it sucked that I had position on him every time preflop. I am one very very satisfied customer.

One more thing - the amount of content is staggering considering the site has only been around for a very short time. I have
so much yet to watch its insane.

Keep up the great work PokerVT Instructors.

Hello,

I recently subscribed to your PokerVT to attempt to improve my game. I have been playing small stakes for a couple years. I was trying to make the break from being a break even/small win player to cashing more consistently. Your site has been extremely helpful, and you have found a way to keep me interested while I am learning. I always enjoyed watching Daniel on TV as he would break down hands, this really takes it a step further.

I was unsure about investing $150 in this training, my usual reload amount is $100.00, occasionaly more. I decided to give it a shot and when I cashed a little money out of stars, I diverted half of it to your sign up. Two weeks later, (and one day after taking hell from my wife for shipping you $150) I cashed my biggest tourney to date....over $2k when I took 4th in a field of over 4600 people in the 15k guaranteed at stars. My previous largest cash was probably $600. 
Now, yes I got hit by the deck at the right times, came from behind a couple times, and it just seemed to be my day, but I have been running deeper in a lot of tourneys lately, and I seem to be making the right moves even when I wind up getting sucked out on. I am giving myself a much better opportunity to win. 
I know that your course has played a role in helping me analyze where I am in every hand better, making me realize spots where I can improve.

I don’t expect to turn pro anytime soon, if ever, but I feel that my edge has improved a lot thanks to your site. I would recommend the investment to anyone looking to improve their game, regardless of their level.

Thanks 

Dominic

Yep, the site is definitely worth the investment. I am only a very small player at the moment, playing the 25/50 cash tables, and by that I mean 0.25c/0.50c tables. lol. But I have made a couple of hundred dollars this month and decided to invest it in PokerVT. Hopefully one day I'll be playing alongside players like Daniel, but that is a very long way off in the distance. PokerVT will hopefully shove me in the right direction.

My game has definitely changed so far and it's amazing how much different poker is when you play small ball.

I used to be a tight, passive player but that has changed a lot now. As an example, I had a guy to my left yesterday and I got right under his skin. Everytime I played and was first into the pot, I just did the same raise again and again. This didn't please him at all. Well he eventually decided to play back at me but he totally picked the wrong time. I had AA and did the usual raise. The annoyed guy was obviously getting fed up and re-raised me 8x my raise! I paused for a little while, for effect, then shoved all-in. He insta-called and showed AK off suit. The board threw out low cards, my aces held up and he was gone.

I know players re-raise with AK, but he definitely took an over-aggressive stance in my view. My all-in didn't phase his thoughts at all. It was probably fuelled by a few hands he had seen of mine when I had suited connectors that I had raised with. So he probably had me on 10-J suited or something. lol

Anyway, that hand truely shows what small ball poker can do to players and I am certainly glad to be a pupil. I still have a lot to learn and a lot of videos to watch, but I agree with previous posters in that Daniel seems to make things clear.

Keep up the good work . I am at the very start of the Yellow Brick Road and I'd like to get to Oz one day

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you a little input on the site.  

I have been trying to win the large WSOP satellite tournament at the Horseshoe for quite some time now.  Since reviewing the material on your site, the very next week I won the satellite and placed 5th in a tournament there the next day.  So far, I have played in four tournaments and placed 1st, 5th, and 8th.  The fourth one was the day after I joined.  The highest pair I had was 8's and never caught AK once and I lasted almost three hours.  

Before signing onto your site, I was a decent player but far from being a threat.  I have seen a few final tables that had 40-80 players.  I went to the WSOP in New Orleans and was out in 27 minutes!  I then went to Scotty's tournament in Tulsa and played three events.  I was out before the first break in the first two and went out right after the break in the main event.  

Just a few weeks later, the guys in the Casino's are asking my advice now.  To tell you the truth, I hate telling them about the site.

In the WSOP satellite tournament, I only caught Q's twice, J's twice, 8's once, and 4's twice, and I never saw AK.  I dropped to $1050 with the average stack being $5000 and came back up,  Then I went down to $875,  with the average being $9000, and the last time I went down to one thousand dollar chip with the average being over $10000.  I was trading blows the old way and then, even though Daniel's advice is totally against the way I use to play, I went for it and scared the devil out of everyone in the room.  I went all the way with just the info Daniel provided, and the tournament lasted over seven hours. I took out two pro's in one night and it felt great!  I am studying the math portion now and hope to have it down by the time we go to Vegas.  I can't believe that I did so well being almost completely card dead.  It was great hearing pro's say, "What the hell do you have?"  I was mixing it up so much that they first called me a calling station and thought I was strictly trying to steal blinds.  They soon found out that I was a hunter and was stalking my pray.  It felt great to be the hunter for once.  

It is so strange to have one of my nemesis tell me that he would rather have a rattle snake bite him than to have me raise him!  

Your site takes out the FEAR FACTOR!   

The only thing I would like to add to your site is a section that we can ask a question on our own weaknesses and have Daniel or another pro answer them.  It would be great if you would have Daniel personally answer at least one of our questions during the year.  You could give us a one free question card to use during the year.  What a great deal that would be.

The greatest thing you have given me is confidence.  I use to walk up the payout board and look at the bottom spot and hope that I could at least get my money back.  I realized last night that I only look at the top spot because that's MY spot.  

I hope to see you guys in Vegas when I play the WSOP!  Thanks for helping me get there.  

THANKS SO MUCH!
