Simple Poker Logic

I don’t normally go off talking about how good Deuces Cracked is, firstly people know I’m biased and secondly I let the content there speak for itself. But I simply have to make a note of one of the really good developments over there that’s really coming on leaps and bounds at the moment and that is the DC strategy forums.

Mainstream forums (you know where I mean) have become more than a little diluted strategy wise, it’s not just the noob/pro ratio but the fact that many people don’t put enough effort into their games and the better players more or less think “well if you don’t put the effort into learning I’m not putting the effort into helping” – that leads to a downward spiral of rote lines and group-think one-line answers. Then add torrent of low content stuff (fine in small doses but let’s talk cards ffs!) throw in lot’s of epeen measuring and you have a mixture that, for the most part doesn’t give up and coming players the same benefit that some of us benefited from a few years back (I luckily just caught the tail end of the “good days” on a few of the forums when learning myself).

The forums at DC however are much better – a proper learning community environment, the coaches are encouraged to get responding to the threads. In the FR forum hardly a thread goes by that one of us doesn’t pop in with an opinion and in some threads 3-4 coaches chime in with opinions – that’s essentially 100% free coaching. The best thing for those ballin’ on a budget is that you don’t even have to pay membership to the forums. Just join in the community no matter what your stakes, nobody knows nor cares if you subscribe to the video content or not.

Finally if any of you DC members post a question and it drops under the radar feel free to PM me with a link and I will check it out.
