Coaching/staking in low-midstakes MTTs offered (Non-U.S. sites) Hello, my name's Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet. I have been playing MTT's professionally for the last 7 years, over that time period I have played around 18,000 MTTS and made around 1.6 million profit in them. I feel like the key to my longevity has been the ability to work hard and change my game as the game changes. I'm also a coach here and instructor for Pocketfives Premium. I am looking to take on 5 students with the following requirements in mind. Motivation and positive attitude are a must. Read this entire post before applying and follow the rules! (Stolen from ...

P5's Training discussion. Top pair on a strange board. Re-thinking conventional lines 90 percent success rates when you raise donk leads on monotone boards eh' Posted in: Poker Discussion	apestyles Aug 31st, 2012
P5's Training discussion. Top pair on a strange board. Re-thinking conventional lines We haven't had much discussion of leading the flop which I think is kind of cool. Keeps our range wide and we are rarely raised with worse since we can have so many hands to bet/3bet with... Turns become slightly difficult with leading though.

P5's Training discussion. Top pair on a strange board. Re-thinking conventional lines I see your line of logic here but do not necessarily agree. If we are calling an arguable 80-90 percent cbet frequency versus roughly 35 percent of the deck or more on the flop and on the turn our villain is only betting value hands that beat us and (mostly combo) draws I believe our flop equity is much higher than our turn equity. Also, many villains would choose to check back hands with alot of equity like combo draws and very few villains are pure bluffing this board since we often have pair and flush draw kinds of hands that aren't folding. I also can't read into the bet sizing much, it ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	apestyles Aug 30th, 2012
Family/friends against my decision to not do a 9-to-5: How do I make them understand? "The money doesn't matter at all. A real job helps to face the real challenges of life by going through numerous situations in a workplace which staying at home all day winning easy money doesn't achieve. One needs to get out of their comfort zone and be ready to tackle real-life situations, get real work experience, etc. to shape up as a complete and polished human-being." I apologize for not completely reading every post and going on a bit of an off topic tangent. They believe that somehow if you go to a real job you will have more "real life" experiences and thus learn to get over your ... Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles May 29th, 2012
Family/friends against my decision to not do a 9-to-5: How do I make them understand? I think that was my point. Alot of people look down on poker as somehow dishonest but I don't view it that way. In fact, I view many other "normal" jobs to be full of dishonesty and deception. Or at least, I think if you're going to call poker dishonest you should call those jobs dishonest as well. I was mainly sharing my own experience and outlook - I may have gone on a tangent that is slightly different than the OP but I get annoyed when people look down on what I do. Regarding the OP, I think it really depends on if you're making enough money and are treating poker like a business. I ... Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles May 29th, 2012
Family/friends against my decision to not do a 9-to-5: How do I make them understand? I believe alot of people have misconceptions about "normal" jobs contributing to society. I would say that most jobs in a capitalist society are mainly about taking and coercing people into buying things they don't want etc. For instance, I would argue that the majority of those in the advertising business spend their lives trying to associate their products with things that have nothing to do with the product they are selling. Most advertising is basically a lie in my opinion. If you are a day trader or invest I believe that nearly every time you profit someone else loses. Investment banks ...

One of the sickest tables I think I've ever seen: $2100 SCOOP shootout I regged for this tourney and then looked at the field and unregged. The 100 person cap basically made it so there were < 3-5 legit fish in the whole tourney. This tourney might be the toughest of the entire SCOOP. Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles May 12th, 2012
Is there another site that tracks MTTs besides OPR? As much as I miss being able to look people up I think I agree with star's decisions. Nothing makes me more mad than seeing someone mention someone else's stats at the table. I makes no sense for people to be rude to fish, casino's give their whales free rooms, drinks, food etc. as profesionals its our job to make the fish feel welcome. Not having these sites will probably keep more fish playing which is invariably good for winning players. Having a -250 roi is impossible. Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles May 12th, 2012
Major rankings changes coming 8/1 Like I said, if I could go back and not make that post I would man :(. To be perfectly honest I got rly spun out in Mexico and wasn't thinking clearly. I am now though. Lesson learned - I stay away from the pharmacies. My intentions were just to get a friend of mine who I know is one of the illest some recognition cause I'm proud of him. However, I was so out of it and delusional at the time that I went about incoherently and stupidly without thinking about how it would be perceived. That being said, its not like I had any personal gain from it so hopefully people will forgive my being a ... Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles May 12th, 2012
Major rankings changes coming 8/1 Just spent the last 3 weeks getting my section done actually... soon thanks. Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles May 11th, 2012
Major rankings changes coming 8/1 embarassed face Not sure how I feel about the changes. Was semi-trolling and intoxicated all the time in mexico when I whined about the pro poll - my bad. The rankings are always going to be arbitrary in some way or another. I really don't mind things how they are now. ROI isn't necessarily indicative of skill either. I think a Pro Poll that was weighted slightly less would be good or less scores counting. However, I think making less scores count would put people who run hot one sunday way too high. Meh...

Why Weavel's (betudontbet) Pro Poll should be much higher I'm really not sure because so many of the best players can't put in full schedules anymore because they spend 1/2 their time in America. I think part of why I started the thread is because I was depressed by the alot of top players in the pro poll who I think are good but not great. The most objective pro poll would be one that had average ROI, whoever, that information is too personal to include so I think it isn't possible. But, it forces those who do the pro poll to do alot of research on players. Most pro pollers will most likely either vote for their friends, vote based on a very ...

Why Weavel's (betudontbet) Pro Poll should be much higher Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles Mar 31st, 2012
Why Weavel's (betudontbet) Pro Poll should be much higher yea man, i talk too much :( Like maybe about 10x more than was necessary in this thread... Was being rly high at the time of the five super long posts an excuse' hella boring thread imo rly.... just i think my boy davids rly good and but am prolly showing favoritism since he's one of my best friends, so gotta apologize for that. But,i think the pro poll is broken, and I'm mainly sorry that I wasted my time writing so many words in a row just saying the same thing. Got all paranoid and over-analytical and shit.

Why Weavel's (betudontbet) Pro Poll should be much higher I don't think he cares very much tbh... However, being number 1 has helped alot of people with sponsorships, coaching prices, etc. So it means something slightly better than lord of the crabs. He already is lord of the crabs anyway. Man, I want to apologize but I'm having a hard time finding a reason. Why accept something that is messed up' Why wouldn't this forum be about discussing the merits of each player. I'm allowed to have an opinion, that I admit is somewhat biased because of friendship. You are also just as welcome to make a post talking about how awesome you are and why your ...

Why Weavel's (betudontbet) Pro Poll should be much higher Also, I see that you are in a very similar situation 1banditpanda which would explain your annoyance at my post since it was intended to persuade people to vote weavel a little higher. In retrospect, perhaps I shouldn't have done it, but I've also never seen a player quite like David, and think he's really sick. I was also motivated by the fact that I looked at the top 10 and it looked like there were alot of medium strength regs on a heater and putting in a ton of volume. I think you're really good though 1bandit, nothing against you or anyone. I just know from watching and talking poker ... Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles Mar 28th, 2012
Why Weavel's (betudontbet) Pro Poll should be much higher Good point. Having a hard time disagreeing with that. Its just very rare that the big high stakes cash guys do play tourneys but they usually do fairly well in them. Eh, actually, how many bracelets or tourneys you've won has alot to do with how much people respect you as an overall poker/cash player. Phil Ivey for example. All I know is that I respect the guys who can play any form of poker or any form of nlhe holdem more than most mtt guys who just play systematically. But perhaps I was giving those other facts a little too much weight. The main point was that this kid can play 2 card hold ... Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles Mar 28th, 2012
Why Weavel's (betudontbet) Pro Poll should be much higher Well yea, even the pro poll almost always works in my favor I'm speaking out against it because it only really works for people have longterm success. Right now so many people are in and out of playing and unable to put in their usual volume cause they're in the US. I would only rate 2-3 of the current top 10 in my top 25-30 mtt players. Some very well may be but I just don't have enough info on them to be sure. But yea, my I think the pro poll is flawed,. And, I haven't claimed to be anything but biased cause the guy I'm talking about is one of my best friends and I got him into tourneys as ... Posted in: Poker Community	apestyles Mar 28th, 2012
Why Weavel's (betudontbet) Pro Poll should be much higher When you say lame did u mean me basically riding David's penix and talking too much about his personality or did you mean my reasoning for him being voted higher' One hundred percent agree on lameness and irrelevancy on that point. Was a little inebriated at the time and I think he's awesome. Maybe I'm gettin lamer with age... Am still 100 percent certain that winning in cash games means you are good at deepstacked poker. Do you believe a person should play different in a 10/20 level with 3000 chips than at 10/20nl with 3000' Could see arguments for tightness for tourney life but I think ...
