Poker Advice from Sbrugby
Sbrugby (bio) grinded his way up from the low limit games in 2005 to the most difficult high limit online games. Now he’s one of the most feard NL players.
I was doing some research about Sbrugby for my other site and came across these two really valuable threads with him on twoplustwo (his username is aba20).
- The well - Q&A
- Sbrugby’s story (told by himself)
The main thing I got from these threads is that poker is hard. Who knew? Sbrugby basically devoted himself to the game, spending 14+ hour days either playing poker, reading about it, or analyzing his own game. He’s read “every poker book available at borders and many that are not.”
He gives out a bunch of poker tips you might have never considered. Here’s a good one that Kjell pointed out to me.
“One “AHA” moment was shoving with hands which have good equity against your villians calling range. Example which would you rather go AI with assuming you have a pot sized raise left on a 249 board. You can go AI with 55 or KQ. Well shoving with KQ is much better than shoving 55 because KQ has alot more equity against villian calling range (66+ and any 9).”
If you have any interest at going pro or improving your NL skills these threads are really good reads.
