It's so great seeing you making videos here on youtube Daniel. I appreciate the content!

If it's one thing I've always enjoyed about Daniel's game, it's how positive he always is. He delivers all kinds of poker knowledge, tips, strategy, and info all really well and easily understandable, but I think it's his spirit of the game that I appreciate the most. Despite perhaps a bad run in a game or even all this negativity that seems to be surrounding him lately in the world of YouTube, he maintains a level and positive mentality. That's a trait maybe more important than any other in the game of poker and he leads by example.

Best advice ive heard. Minimize loss out of position. Maximize profit in position. Thanks Daniel

This video might be old but it's really helped me improve my win rate. I grind the small stakes online. I was already a winning player but my win rate has increased since altering my play in certain spots. My style is quite loose aggressive but I had forgotten the value of checking in spots I would normally be betting. By checking in certain spots its keeping my hand strength deceptive and I've been picking up extra chips I wouldn't normally of gotten. If you show weakness it seems some people can't help but go for it. I'm still aggressive when I need to be but I'm picking my spots better now and checking more often.

Cool points - thanks! Especially cool point about "Where you wanna get to is to make your opponents think twice about making thin value bets on the river vs you."

Hey old timer, thanks for the Phil Hellmuth-esc 2003 Poker Training Video. When you have time could you please try to analyze the hand where Torreli flops a set of 5's and min-raises your cbet into 4 players with AJo. I believe Doug Polk had it on one of his Polker Hands episodes.

I would never sit in a game that disallowed check raising.

Is it good to play small ball? What about when you don't get paid off much
