February Live Grind with Ben “kidCardiff6” Warrington
https://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/february-live-grind-with-ben-kidcardiff6-warrington-part-5/
Ben Warrington wraps up his live sweat of high stakes Sunday tournaments. In part 5, he starts with his last 3 tables and has decent stacks in all of them. By the end of the video, he’s left with just the Sunday 500. Fortunately, he has a good stack in it very deep into the tourney. Unfortunately, we won’t get to see how he finishes because he ends the series instead of one tabling for another video. I hope he ended up shipping it.

Andrew Brokos is back with another theory series on bluffing. In this one, he focuses on evaluating bluffing spots during your post game analysis. He does a great job of finding spots where he missed a good bluffing opportunity and translating these patterns into identifiable leaks. He creates a list of them so that he can be cognizant of them in his future sessions. This will help me a ton given that I have never done anything like it before.
Ben Reasons Premiere Series – Member HH Review
https://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/ben-reasons-premiere-series-member-hh-review-part-1/
Ben Reasons debuts at TPE with a member hand history review of Frenchie155’s win in a small stakes tourney on Poker Stars. Given his background in SNGs, Ben does a good job of pointing of push fold spots that hero missed. Overall, it is a very good video and I am looking forward to the rest of this series as well as his future ones.

Is It Time to Upgrade Your Online Poker Setup?
https://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/is-it-time-to-upgrade-your-online-poker-setup/
The article this week talks about upgrading your online poker setup aka your grind station. The most important points in the article are the need to remove distractions from your environment and to get a computer that is able to run all the processes you will be using. At this point, the article takes a ballerific turn that I cant even begin to wrap my head around. Something about getting a chair for $800? Listen, I’ve gotten two chairs and a sofa on four wheels powered by a gasoline engine for less than that. #nitcast. But seriously, that is way above my pay grade but if you can afford it, why not? After all, it’s cheaper than a new back.
