Hi Dan,
Thanks for that video on 45man SnGs. It was a good strategy illustration for this kind of tournament and my game there will benefit from a little tweaking.
Question: What is that replayer and where can it be gotten. I usually use the one built into oker Tracker, but that one looks better.

Jayden1984 (Nov 18, 2008) Your method works..i finished 1st after watching your demonstration
Metallor (Nov 18, 2008) yeh, i was wondering the same thing. what is the buy in for this tourny?
Metallor (Nov 18, 2008) and also id like to add that it works too, i just played 3x $6.50 45 man turbos, won 2 of them. ship it!
MrSmith (Nov 19, 2008) Very nice, just tested it in a 3,25 turbo, got 3rd. Players at final table were not as tight as yours, but still got to steal many blinds with nothing just looking at stack sizes at the end.
Ozi Ray (Nov 19, 2008) Very interesting but differs from Mike Caro's ideas.This is a very aggressive strategy which I feel will only suit some.Did not like your All In bet against player who had 70% as many chips as you.However very very well presented. Regards RAY
MrSmith (Nov 20, 2008) Hi Ozi, does Mike Caro address the 45 man online turbo,? If yes, where can I find this strategy?
john (Nov 21, 2008) just finished 8th bc I "shipped it against bb from sb. he looked me up with kk!
Ian (Nov 26, 2008) Hi Tom, the replayer Dan is using is Universal Replayer, it's freeware and has many useful features. It's a Java app so you'll need the Java platform installed (which is also freely available if you don't already have it).
Daniel Skolovy (Feb 2, 2009) Fwiw it was a $27.
Snuss Chewman (Feb 14, 2009) Ya I could win these tourneys too if I hit every flush draw alive, and could win a 60/40 (unimproved no less). I must assume you have some sort of arrangment with Stars re: the Scab/Doom switch.
EricA (Mar 27, 2009)
It works! I watched the video, went to stars and played like the master himself. I realy turned $3.30 into $42. Now I havnt to go to work anymore.
Thank you, master Daniel.
Brandon (Apr 8, 2009) Your Strategy is okay. I do not think this is the best strategy. You are lucky to double up early. I'll give you a 7/10 on this straetgy. I usually win the 45 and the 180 so I know this is not the best way.
Gery (Apr 9, 2009)
I like ur strategy, i usually play like that a little bit less aggressive. The differences are i'm not always shoving when there are 4-5 players since at the level i play a 2.5x BB is enough to make them fold. Also, i don't call as much raises and bets in the early stages as u do, i limp with drawing cards, i raise with really good cards, and i don't usually call pfr (only with AK, AQ, pp), i fold or shove if i have AA, KK, QQ. I try not to risk it at this moment, then i start loosing up as u do. However, it would be nice if you could teach us what to do when u are not that lucky at the begining and how to make top3 then. How do u steal and stuff. I think there is where most of us are afraid, where we don't have the chips and need to double up.
Thanks!
p.s: brandon, what's ur strategy?
RacoonCity (May 10, 2009) Thanks for your valuable demonstration even though it was for a tournement where you were dealt some good cards that paid well and most of the players were easily intimidated. My question is, what to do when good cards come far and between and the other players are more aggressive and much more willing to call your raises and bluffs? Thats my big issue when I play at low Sit and Go?

Im sure your movies are good, but I have problems watching it. I have the latest adobe flashplayer and use both firefox and IE - and get the same result.
If I try to use fullscreen mode, pause and then start or fastforward the movie, it reloads and starts over from the beginning, in a small window.
Whats wrong? I really like pokerlistings and would like to watch theese movies, without the problems...

CGebel,
The player is broken, but don't worry it's set to be fixed on Tuesday.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
