I asked about this in the comment thread, but let's see if anyone here can make head or tails of it:

Quote:

"When I bet small on the flop — especially on wet flops — I’ll often get raised by better-than-one-pair holdings. As a result, I have a lot of immediate fold equity on the turn. If I am raised on the turn, my opponent will often have two pair or better, and I can easily fold."

So if he's getting raised by "better-than-one-pair" holdings, how does he have fold equity on the turn, especially when he immediately says that he will "easily fold" if his opponent has two pair or better? It seems like there is a very narrow range of hands that are better than one pair but not two pair or better.

LOL, that is the best quote in there, by far. It hurts my brain so much, it must be really, really, really smart.

I have played 2-5 with him at the Venetian a couple of times. I saw him rack up about 7K one of those times. He is definitely legit. I have seen him playing 5-10 at V too.

I had noticed his small flop bet sizing when I played with him and found it very strange. When I saw the article I knew who he was right away. After reading the article I understand his approach better but have no idea why he would want to explain his strategy in such a public way.

He is very friendly and laughs a lot at the table.

he's folding to the raise. If they flat a small bet, then there is fold equity when he bets bigger ott, is what he is saying.

This only works against weak opponents.

As stated, he doesn't continue when raised. He's essentially barreling "information" bets to see cheapish rivers. I think Jaime Gold was doing the exact same thing.

I think I do know who he is then asians all look the same but I remember the asian bible guy. He did crush it for like over 250 an hr in the 20-30 hr sample I played with him. He did not make the big time because he spent so much money whore mongering but now he is super religious.

If he plays with a yellow truck as a card protector I'm like ~85% sure I played with this guy in San Diego a few days ago.

In before all asians look the same >.<

The "All asian look the same" call sure does make white people look stupid or at least unobservant . In terms of facial structure/random idiosyncrasies Id say asians have a much wider range than white people (plus extra points cos azn wimmin are so much hotter than dem out of shape white bleaters. obviously)

He would be able to move up to 5-10 if people would respect his raises.
