From LOSING to CRUISING | Comeback SPECIAL

[@FlashDavin]

Never clicked on a video faster. Excited to hear how Mark is doing!

[@bernillo6598]

Same! Mark is an absolute legend

[@denniskrook2925]

Hey Mark. How are you doing!!!!! Missed you man. Learned a lot of the series (it was really erye opening the big Carrot teached me in this serie of episodes). When the kids are in bed I am going to watch your comeback special. CANT WAIT

[@ekw555]

great to see Mark back w/ improved health & improved poker!

[@karmababy5077]

I would really like to see a return of a series like this, but perhaps this time with a player that has not been losing but sort of breaking even/ slightly winning for a long time and taking that player to the next level. You could call it 'From Flatlining to Flying', or 'From Scratching to SMASING' or something like that.

[@Michaelperry1985]

Great seeing Mark back on the channel! Losing to Crusing was the best show on KZbin! Keep up the great work you both

[@seanbastow4601]

Mark, well done on the progress, it's great to see the improvement after all the hard work.

[@sibbesen]

Great to see you again Mark! Looks like the coaching has paid off big time!

[@cmc0605]

I did agree with Mark on the last hand, I think you accomplish more checking turn. You can still try for two streets against Ax, but on the river (if turn goes x/x). All the money will get in vs a K anyway.

[@Lucas-fh5dl]

Hey Pete, glad to see Mark back and that he's fixed some leaks in his game. I was looking to get started with the CPS because I feel like I'm plateuing with the free content on KZbin. I remember you did a sale for Easter last year. Same plans for this one? I was wondering because I was thinking of starting with Grade 1, but if you have a whole theory sale for a couple hundred more I would just rather do that. You're a great teacher and great personality in the game, and I'm glad to have come across your channel.

[@TimeHandler]

Good job Mark, big improvement from before.

[@shanejackson2062]

Oh hi Mark. Glad to see how far you've come. Might have to hire Pete as a coach...

[@emanueleco7363]

Good to see you Mark, welcome back

[@yoniker83]

First advice to a losing player (negative BB/100) should be "move down in stakes". I'm confused why this advice was never given. Not only that, but as a losing player, he moved to higher stakes, and Pete literally said nothing about that. What am I missing,Pete?

[@leslieandclash7030]

If he’s breakeven at 50nl can’t we assume he’s beating 25 and 10

[@vicious7462]

@@leslieandclash7030 absolutely not theres no difference. but hes doing extremely well

[@smithjohn4679]

he was losing at lower stakes, got coaching from the best coach on the planet, and now is breakeven at higher stakes. going to lower stakes would hurt him as he would be raked more

[@yoniker83]

@@smithjohn4679 As long as a player is losing, it makes no sense to move up in stakes, being coached or not. Also, if the “best” didn’t mention this ABC stuff, I would reconsider that “best” claim.

[@yoniker83]

@@leslieandclash7030 negative BB/100 is losing, since we don’t have any reliable stats of him winning at any stakes level, and we do have evidence of him losing at different levels, it’s a much safer assumption to make that he would be losing actually.

Mark is back in the HOUSE! 😃 LOVE THIS GUY

[@jonathantolan3503]

im insta following when Mark starts streaming!

[@talullahtheegyptianbaladyd4388]

Mark! Yay! Good to see you again!

[@denniskrook2925]

Nice video!!! HAHA that JK raise almost at the end. I was almost angry before it, because i though Pete was going to claim this would be an easy fold and i think it is a crying call. But than the raise came, and I felt of my chair. Love your work Pete. Love you are back Mark.

[@evilevan9687]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark Mark Mark Go Mark Go!

[@Bean-js9bc]

Is it too soon to start Charlie on preflop charts?

[@mickland]

Pete. Do you adjust much for the high gg rake? The rake on the preflop 3bt fold pots is a killer.

[@luckymaggie6594]

I let an ad play thru because of you. It's 30 secs about slots.

It's finally here!

[@toineb777]

Mark the MVP!

[@paulgibbons-keynotespeaker]

Pretty freaking competent for 25NL this fella

[@marksimpson2321]

Im not sure why people have issues with Mark. He pays for lessons, he's getting better and he enjoys playing poker. Id love to hear how 50Nl online skills transfer to uk live casino cash games! Not saying Mark plays live but ...

[@mackerhacker76]

Hey Mark, thanks for the message. I can’t play much live unfortunately, but if it helps I played for a while on an app which played really close to live and was able to grind out a 18bb/100 win rate at 25-100nl over a pretty large sample. So I think the answer is that the skills definitely transfer very well.

[@Alex_Hart]

You said it well .. Poker is hard

[@danielhenry6777]

marks my hero

[@SilkenfistLP]

good stuff Mark :).

[@SlouchingSaint]

23.20 I disagree with this flop xback in multiway, this structure will not get bluff at all so basically we as u tell it's close already on turn, plus c/r flop will be very low so its just better to put some eq denial bet like 10-15%

[@aliparry9527]

Hi Pete, fellow Scot here, found your content a couple of weeks ago and loving the way you talk about poker. Spoke to the wife and might enrol into the academy soon also. I am a reg at 25nl on GG poker, is there a way of using a different HUD just for results on GG instead of pokercraft? Can hands be uploaded into pokertracker etc? Thanks

[@dvh6298]

Yes you can download your hands from pokercraft and import them into the poker hud software of your choice. There are probably tutorials online

[@abstract1603]

Oooo Jesus man..of course you can load your data on hem3 , pt4 etc. And stop playing micros on gg poker ..it is the biggest rake trap on earth.. I hope that you respect your time so give up this greedy site.

[@aliparry9527]

@@abstract1603 cheers man good to know, I've got HM3, just need to figure out how to download hand history from GG. Yeh it is very rake heavy because of all the promotions going on but I get a lot of rake back too, I've had about $850 rakeback since start of the year through leaderboards, GGcare and GGcheers, bad beat jackpot of $550 and killer whale promotion so isn't all that bad.

[@jeffshackleford3152]

​@@abstract1603sometimes you got to play micros to get hands in. As much as studying does help, if you never play you can't get better. That really is what micros are about, finding leaks, fixing leaks, figuring out what you need to study. Micros aren't really where you make money.

[@seanbastow4601]

+1 to what abstract said, get off gg now. preflop rake is criminal

[@alexdan5054]

[@Jimmyballsthe3rd]

Redline is to the extent where he just can’t be understanding where and when people are capped and acting appropriately.

[@pixelzz829]

How old is Mark?

[@mackerhacker76]

Pretty old 😎

[@Somnivore7]

Online poker is so miserable that he's improving and still losing even tho he plays better than like 80-90% of live players lmao. Drop online and play 2/5. This guy would be at least break even live.

[@Jimmyballsthe3rd]

It sucks that probably 5%-10% of people in a zoom are winning. But it’s miserable for the people who aren’t winning I’m sure

[@jeffshackleford3152]

​@@Jimmyballsthe3rdzoom pools are only miserable because it incentivizes ultra nitty play. People just aren't going to try to get through tough spots because they can just press fold and have a new hand.

[@Pogogacy]

He would be way better than break even live for sure. 2/5 live is probably about the equivalent of 5NL online. I definitely agree with you that live poker is better than online for most players if your goal is to make money, but the main impediment to that is bankroll. You probably want a roll of about 20 buy ins even for soft games. That means 4k for 1/2 live. Possibly more like 8k when you take into account straddles/playing deep etc. It's very unlikely Mark has a roll anywhere near this size if he's breaking even at 50NL.

[@Jimmyballsthe3rd]

@@jeffshackleford3152 you can’t say this, because if they’re ultra nitty you’re printing if you just bluff. What your actually saying is you want to be the nit realistically

[@jeffshackleford3152]

@@Jimmyballsthe3rd I think my red line and blue lines say I am a maniac. I am certainly not afraid of putting money in, I probably put too much money in when I have marginal hands, which is what I am working on. No, you don't just print because you can bluff nits easily. Or you run into that one guy who stations you with JJ on a AKKQx board, LJ vs BB, with a flush completing x, and you just happen to be triple barreling with 7 high because you had the flush draw that bricked. When you lose a bunch of big pots because you have JTs on a JTT board and your opponent has JJ, there goes 30 minutes of work winning the small pots. And holy hell if you get the money in ahead and get sucked out on, which is whatever, but it still sucks to lose 30 minutes of work to someone with 4% equity on the turn all in. I think red line is like your cash flow, it pays the cost of doing business, while the blue line is where your big profits come from. Like a subscription service web site that has courses also. The subscriptions pay the ongoing costs of business and the course sales form the bulk of the profit.
