The CPG podcast has returned for an interview with ACR Team Pro and Twitch streamer Michael Loncar, and what a story he has to tell. From the humble beginnings of playing on his dad’s online account before the Moneymaker boom, to dropping out of college to play poker full-time and live the cliché of winning at the tables and blowing it all the same night… it’s a tour de force of bankroll mismanagement.Michael shares his Black Friday Plan B story with us, with a divorce sprinkled in the middle and how it affected his poker and personal life. And Porsches. So many Porsches.All of this to say that from reckless youth and overextension, renewal can be found from refocusing on what matters, and a good woman’s guidance probably had a lot to do with it, as well. Now an ACR Team Pro with a work ethic to match his dreams, we’re happy to host Michael Lancor on the Chasing Poker Greatness Podcast.

The Stand Up Game... Where did it come from? Why is it a thing? The answers to those questions don’t matter, but the strategy behind playing it sure does. We didn’t aim to release the first Stand Up Game strategy guide, but it’s possible we just did?Jon somehow got himself into a very interesting spot where he was heads up with the last remaining “stander”, and things get complicated right quick when there’s different incentives for pushing equity in a pot with the bounty hanging overhead.What’s the fastest way to sit down in the Stand Up Game? How hard should you protect your equity when it’s coming down to the wire and you’re still standing? Should you bet normally or shove? Where can you find true love in a poker room?These questions and more are answered in the very first Stand Up Game strategy episode on any medium ever. Don’t care if that’s an accurate statement.

Donk bets…. A scourge to online poker, and to humanity as a whole. What motivates a Fish and/or Reg to dabble in these dark arts? We’ll, we don’t really know. Frankly we don’t want to know. It’s a market we can do without.But what we do know is the data behind donk bets. You’ve probably heard Coach Brad nag us for years now about NUFFLE, NUTTLE, and NURRLE… these are the courses developed from Mass Data Analysis to combat this very problem of Fish donk betting the flop, turn, and river.While we’ve generally kept this intellectual property under lock and key for review by paying students of CPG only, we’ve decided to pull the curtain back somewhat to give you juuuuust a taste of how to effing Neutralize Betting Leads.The first one’s always free!

LEAKED CLASSIFIED WOLF STRATS INCOMING on this episode of Tactical Tuesday, in which Jon has been sweatin' to the Solvers with the CPG Wolves CFP elite to develop a Bet / 3-Bet strategy postflop for when these clown world villains try raising our flop bets.Doing his best to further desensitize the entire poker world to the significance of the all-in bet, Jon has brought FIVE hands (I know; this is a disturbing trend when we exceed 2 hands for consecutive weeks. I don't even know what's real anymore.), yes FIVE hands where he just will-nill throws all of his precious big blinds into a world of risk before we even know what 40% of the cards will be. Pure lunacy, we know. But there's something to be said for simplicity, if nothing else.This is real poker. With real buy-ins. With real feelings. And real poker-related consequences. THIS IS REAL NO LIMIT TEXAS HOLD THEM.

This week Duncan has the pleasure to have an in depth conversation with our very own Peter Bermingham about his experiences as a correctional officer. What are some facts and misconceptions about prison life and what does it teach us about poker? Tune in until the end for Peter's incredible insight on how to deal with toxic environments and mental issues that could be exacerbated as a result.

Jon continues to slave away in the 500 Zoom mines as part of his CPG Wolves R&D, and he's emerged from those murky depths with triple the amount of our normal haul of hands for review. Sometimes he has a pair, sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he has thick value, sometimes he has garbage air bluffs. Is this... balance?? [butterflymeme.jpg] Let's see if Coach Brad can make any sense of it.

Be sure to get a free poker course in the description! So Jon's been hard at work in the lab doing 500NL Zoom Play & Explain videos for the CPG Wolves Coaching For Profit poker stable, and he's selected two spicy hands for us to review before we get into the main course, which is a live cash hand he played at pretty high stakes. But he has Aces, so everything should work out fine.

This week Peter and Duncan have the pleasure to talk to clinical and sports psychologist Dr. Micheal J. Whitman who adds incredible insight on a variety of poker and sports related topics such as: competition, disruptive behavior, dealing with downswings/adversity, growth and many others.Dr Michael has been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years (https://www.drmichaelwhitman.com/).When he is not working with patients or playing poker, he is busy writing about the psychological aspects of Tennis (https://www.amazon.com/Psychological-Analysis-Tennis-Michael-Whitman/dp/1662905661).He is also running the highly rated podcast: The shrink in Beverly Hills (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-shrink-in-beverly-hills-podcast/id1392797526).If you have any comments/questions, you can visit the online platform, Greatness Village: https://greatnessvillage.com/To learn more about the Free Nuffle promotion, visit: https://freenuffle.comCPG Cash Game Courses!Preflop Bootcamp: https://bit.ly/Preflop-BootcampFish in a Barrel: http://bit.ly/fish-in-a-barrelNeutralize Flop Leads: https://bit.ly/2OkN8Yt

When you’re in the midst of a bit of a downswing, well, nobody ever got out of it by folding, did they? That’s where Jon’s head is at the week as he tries to pry victory from the jaws of negative variance by considering a big call with a great bluff catcher in one instance, and then deciding to turn yet another pair into a bluff in another. Welcome to Tactical Tuesday 116 on YouTube dot com, friends.The first poker hand we have for your review comes from the streets of 1000NL and finds Jon with Pocket Jays on the button against a decidedly aggressive bad guy in the cutoff. I wonder if we will end up playing for stacks? But can we find literally any bluffs here if villain jams all-in?Our next No Limit Texas Hold Them hand is from the blood-stained 5/10/20 live streets of Las Vegas. Jon decides to open Qd8d on the button 8-handed. Not sure why this ends up being a massive pot, but I stopped trying to figure this out a couple years back. Let’s just watch how much money gets risked and go from there.For the most groundbreaking, solutions-based poker courses you will ever find, you need to get yourself to the Chasing Poker Greatness website and start clicking around: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/Preflop Bootcamp: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/#preflop-bootcamp-poker-courseFish In A Barrel: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/#fish-in-a-barrel-and-feeding-frenzy-poker-coursesNUFFLE (Neutralizing Flop Leads): https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/#nuffle-neutralize-flop-leads-poker-courseWant NUFFLE for free?
