I am thrilled to announce that Mike Leah, known as “goleafsgoeh” online is joining TPE as an instructor! A little bit about Mike:
Mike Leah is a professional poker player and MTT specialist hailing from Toronto, Canada. Known online as “GoLeafsGoEH” online, Mike got his start playing online and already has over $2.3 million in winnings. His online scores include a win in the 2010 FTOPS #24 for over $92,000, a second place finish in the Full Tilt $750K Guaranteed for $86,000 and a host of other high 5 digit wins.
Mike also boasts an impressive live record. In 2009 he finished second in the LA Poker Classic for $152,600. That same year he won two Venetian Deepstack events for a total of over $400,000.
Mike continues to play online from his home and Canada and is also a regular on the live poker circuit. In fact, he had 5 cashes in this summer's World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. His future goals include his first major live tournament win and, of course, a WSOP bracelet!
His first video is up at: …..ve-part-1/
Welcome aboard Mike!
Thanks! Happy to be a part of the team; would love to hear feedback on my video's from any of you that watch.
Hi Mike

cheers

Welcome Mike…
Can't wait to watch the vid, some really impressive credentials!
Even though you are a Leafs fan we won't hold it against you

Hey Mike – What a pleasant surprise. Welcome.
I played w you at the same table a couple of times at Borgata and have always enjoyed railing you when u went deep online.
Excellent 1st video. I think the subs should know something about your minr'ing game though. A couple of years ago, when your name came up in live mtt conversations, 'that guy who always minraises' was sure to follow. You kind of pioneered minr'ing at a time when almost nobody did it beg to end of mtts.
To be honest , I don't know if alot of players can get away with it today though. And personally, I'm not a big fan of it and almost never do it until the blinds get to be about the 500/1000 level. But there's plenty of time for that debate.
Really looking forward to your material on the site.
Great first vid… really liked the comentary detailing your thought process.
Can't wait for the rest of the series.

In part 3 (I think, if not part 4) I get into my min'raise strategy…but would be more than happy to get into it deeper in an article perhaps if there is a lot of interest.
thanks for the feedback,
Mike
Mike – I think an article re your mr'ing approach would be great since it's such a big part of your game.
Again, the first video was really impressive. I usually favor single tabeling videos over the multis bec of continuity problems and its tough to keep track of what's going on on all the tables. But u did a great job w the three mtts, never seeming to miss analysis of any hands u played.
Do u plan to play at Borgata in a couple of weeks?
I will be adding a “Min'Raise” article soon; don't think I will going to Borgata this year as WCOOP will be running at the same time…And unfort this year will not be able to play both from A.C. :/
Grats for WCOOP badugi event victory, Mike!
Thanks guy's….You think anyone wants to learn Badugiiiiiiii! lol

a “badugi for noobs” video would be awesome
Well apparently I'm an expert now 😉
Maybe we could do a “draw games” series including 2-7 and other draw games if there was enough interest
