Cardrunners

I am officially a pro at Cardrunners. I'm happy to be joining their team, especially considering they're the #1 instructional site out there (in terms of membership at least). My first video will be out tomorrow and it's me 4tabling 6max $5-$10 nl. Times have changed w/ $5-$10 being considered high stakes. For the longest time I thought it was mid stakes because that's the game I grinded the most and I always thought of myself as a mid stakes guy. I guess w/ the games getting tougher and a trickle down effect from higher stakes that game seems to be the highest game that runs on a daily basis so I see why it's considered high stakes nowadays.

Before I talk about Cardrunners I wanted to mention another site where I participated at, albeit on a lesser scale. I had crossposted this blog at LeggoPoker and have become friendly w/ the guys over there including the guys that run the site. They're a really good group of guys and they have some top notch video producers and coaches. It was a really tough decision on deciding between them and CR to join but ultimately decided to join CR.

Now as an "employee" of CR I will give my best effort in trying to promote the site and helping it retain it's #1 status. Hopefully my videos will offer something to the paying members but I'm confident I'll be able to offer some value to members, whether it be teaching how to play in midstakes games today or how to go about winning at poker over the long run.

I was hesitant in joining an instructional site for the longest time for a couple of reasons. 1st the the pay wasn't worth it compared to my hourly playing poker and 2nd, and more importantly, I didn't want to give away my game or have any of the regs I play vs. on a daily basis pick up any reads on my game. I changed my mind for a couple of reasons. I'm satisfied w/ the deal we reached on and lately I've felt like I wanted to contribute in some way to helping out others get better at poker especially since I don't coach (I may change my mind on that in the future). Also one of my strengths in poker is being able to adapt and make adjustments vs. opponents so I think I'll be ok if my opponents were to utilize what they've seen in my videos against me. We'll see about that, but I don't mind a challenge. Anyway I'm excited to be joining CR and I hope to bring something to their site and their members.
