Re: The Well: Jman28

I know you might not take the time to answer this, but feel free to PM the answer to me or acquire my AIM and we'll talk about it, thanks:

What do you think of leading into the pfr?

I feel like I can comprehend general theory behind it, but I just haven't really worked it into my game, and I feel like I should be "able" to do anything.

If you'd like to just answer your thoughts on it, or your thoughts on balancing (i.e. if I always CR with big hands and bluffs, how okay do you think it is that I'm only leading like 1% of flops, and half of that 1% is a misclick?), as opposed to actual theory of board texture and player types, I will forgive you.

Additionally, feel free to ignore multiway pots and pots where your relative position dictates leading, and just focus on HU pots in button/bb or even just HU in general.

Why do you think this is a leak? In a grander sense, how do you value the creation of a unique image in heads up matches?

Re: The Well: Jman28

it helps him at the moment, once he wants to beat 25/50+ it will hurt him. I have a lot of personal experience with this.

Re: The Well: Jman28

Thanks for taking the time to do this Phil.

A. You mentioned that you're a passive person by nature (I'm in this camp as well). Do you think this has helped your game in any way?

B. Can you describe the biggest differences in your game moving from mid stakes (2/4-3/6) to high stakes (20/40+)?

C. Favorite band?

I'm just a SSNLer, so you don't have to answer this if you don't want.

But what's the deal with 2% milk?

high stakes muck

when you mucked the hand on high stakes that would have split you the pot, did you know right away or did you actually figure it out when you spoke up. gabe kaplin made it seem like you knew but you didnt want to look stupid. it didnt look that way to me. just wondering.

Re: The Well: Jman28

Hello there!

So I don't really have a specific question for you. I'm working on a project (documentary film) about young successful poker players who started off online. I'm interested in speaking with you further about this. Send me a private message if you're interested and I can give you some more details
Thanks Jman!

Re: The Well: Jman28

"Meeting Tom (durrrr) was a huge part of my move to high stakes play. He opened my mind to thinking about situations completely differently. I remember one time when he was discussing a hand with h@ll in front of me, where he had something like weak top pair and was facing a big river bet. He was like, 'I think a call is better than a fold' and I thought to myself, 'yeah I agree' and then he said 'but I would shove' and I exploded. I realized that you should think of every possible option you have in nlhe. You usually have a ton of them."

can you describe how he/you think about situations completely different from most people? example? and an explanation for shoving the tp weak kicker?

hmmmm do you mean "TRAP" ? Or is TARP some poker term I'm not familiar with? Not actually sure how it could be a trap. But I'll let Phil decide lol.

Sorry this is off topic guys...I was just told this is a no no on this board

Unfortunately I don't save most of my hands. I remember a big call I made against a Ziigmund overbet river shove with TT or something. I know it was posted on 2p2, so if someone finds it, that'd be cool. I know I've made bigger calls than that, but I don't remember any specifically.

As for bluffs, I don't make many sick bluffs. I'm sure it was some river c/r, but I don't specifically remember any.

I'm sorry.
