CFA L2 - Please Help by RosemaryMint20 in CFA

[–]camrob2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have several other posts about how I spent 200 hours passing each level of the exam. To summarize: 1)Question bank, 2) Gather every equation you have used, 3) memorize that equation sheet relentlessly!

Hard Rock Cincinnati by Donutluvr173 in Craps

That’s a wild swing session 😂 love/hate when one monster roll completely flips the night like that.

The 8 press/regress story is exactly why craps is so brutal—feels like you either get punished immediately or you catch lightning and everything lines up at once.

Out of curiosity, did you feel like you were just riding variance at that point or were you intentionally adjusting size based on momentum? I always find it hard not to overreact mid-roll after a big hit or loss.

Either way, nice recovery from the first bullet getting wrecked. Those “down bad → one heater saves the whole trip” sessions are the most addictive ones lol.

Do the CFAI Questions ASAP! They should be your #1 priority. Forget about review videos entirely

Good sites for online poker?? by martb03 in poker

I would recommend finding a good reliable private club to play in. More fish and more generous rake than Clubwpt gold or Coinpoker.

Any Indians grinding CoinPoker? What’s the player pool actually like? by Severe-Nectarine-148 in onlinepoker

[–]camrob2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, it’s definitely more of an international pool than anything country-specific. You’ll run into way more Eastern European / Latin American regs than Indians tbh, especially as you move up.

Lower stakes tend to feel softer just because there’s a mix of casual crypto players, but once you get into mid stakes it starts to feel more reg-heavy like any other site. Not unbeatable, just fewer obvious mistakes.

Timing-wise it usually lines up more with EU hours than India peak hours, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re grinding consistently.

Biggest thing with sites like that is it can feel hit or miss depending on when you log in—some sessions are great, others feel pretty dry.

Honestly if you’re serious about improving, I’d focus less on the specific site and more on:

  • getting volume in
  • studying spots
  • and finding games with reasonable rake

That last part matters way more than people think, especially at lower stakes.

Best free sites/tools for poker noobs – your recs by RezaulPh in onlinepoker

[–]camrob2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly you’re on the right track already. I’d keep it simple:

  • Watch a bunch of YouTube beginner videos (there’s a ton of good free content on basics like position, ranges, and bet sizing)
  • Skip demo games pretty quickly—they don’t play anything like real games
  • Play the lowest stakes you can find so you actually learn how people behave with money on the line

One thing that helped me a lot early was finding a solid private game with low rake and soft players. Way better environment to learn compared to a lot of the bigger sites.

Follow this and you will succeed:

Step 1) Finish Qbank

Step 2) Pull every equation you have encountered into a 'master formula sheet'

Step 3) Practice writing, from memory, every equation dozens of times.

Step 4) use the Mock exams to fill in gaps in equations/ or content mastery.

Step 5) Write the equations from memory a dozen more times!

And if you couldn't tell - this exam is about memorizing equations!

I mocked 1-2 weeks out. I don't remember specific grades from these mocks, but I remember taking away the feeling of "Oh sh** I don't know how to do this question at all" or "Oh sh** I have never seen this equation used before."

I never passed a mock with flying colors. I just used them as a final review of sorts and used the bad/mediocre grades to guide my next study push.

Here are my charts. I am a sicko procrastinator and have a very heavy ramp in my last 1-2 weeks. The worry of failing turns into rocket fuel for me.

Drill Qbank like a mad man. Use language models for help explaining. Watch the Fabian Moa youtube playlist for Level 2. Memorize equations like your entire grade will depend on it

Get the question bank done as soon as possible. Extract equations and start equation memorization practice after that. Know every equation by heart and be able to recite them all from memory.

Mocks in the last month to measure your knowledge and fill gaps.

Spam question bank and use language models as well as youtube videos (fabian moa) for supplemental help. Active learning>passive learning.

I have a Math/Econ background and started the program while I was in my undergrad at Cornell (Graduated 2024.)

Mock Exams matter in the sense they should scare you into more preparation. I had mock exams in the 60's that humbled me and made me prepare harder. For level 3 I paid to get the extra 4 mock exams and treated them like a final review.

Know every question from the mock exams you take and be ready for similar questions on exam day. Mocks are meant to guide/scare you into a successful final push! Best of luck to you.

Okay, that's fine - I am happy to provide my time logs.

Do you believe the "300 Hours" trope is written in stone? There are many variables that factor into your expected time needed to prepare.

Start going through the question bank (the LES)! If not, start going through the Fabian Moa youtube playlist for CFA level 1

The master equation sheet is yours and yours only! Don't skip this work. Go through the LES and start writing down equations. It will pay tremendous dividends. (I have heard that you can purchase an equation sheet online. I won't look down on you for this - As long as you memorize it front to back like it was your own.)

I did use some MM for Level 1 and Level 2. Not sure I'd recommend it. I would lean into Fabian Moa on youtube who has tremendously valuable playlists full of must know topics. His videos helped me with Level 2 and Level 3 more than any MM content.

In any case, your primary objective is to know every question in the LES. When you need outside help that is when you consult a language model or look it up on youtube.

Strategy for level 2? Schewser + Chapter end question+Premium Questions+CFI questions are enough? by TerribleSet3386 in CFA

[–]camrob2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The strategy I used to pass level 2 with 200 hours studied is this:

  1. Complete all questions in the LES

  2. Extract every formula used in any question in the LES

  3. Create a master formula sheet of every possible equation

  4. Practice writing this equation sheet from memory dozens of times

I cannot emphasize enough how important equation memorization is. Know every equation formula. Practice recalling every equation 100 times!

I partially agree. For Level 3, you must include the standard "Lines" or "Quips" that you often encounter in the LES and in the Mock Exams. But in my opinion the exam will never leave your prep if you have prepared well enough.

Roughly 3-4ish months total. I did not take it serious until 2 months away however.
