Dude. What if the Facebook page is a troll? Think about that.

Do u remember how he played when he crushed 1-2..was it a more traditional abc value betting style or did he employ his small flop bet style?

So he's basically saying he bets really small when he has a piece of the board to get value from worse and really big when he has nothing to fold out one pair hands. Wow, all that makes me think is that he's right in saying everyone else is terrible.

No, that isn't what he's saying. He puts in blocking bets and folds to pressure, so he knows he's playing the river against weak ranges and draws.

Yeah, and when does he put out block bets (even though I don't like the term, they're just small bets ...)? When he has weak showdown hands. And what does he do when he has nothing on the river but is up against a range of missed draws and weak showdown hands? Bet big.

So, it is what I'm saying, champ. Also, it wasn't a question for you to confirm.

The only example he gives, he has JTs and draws A57 offsuit. He bets expecting people with small pairs to call.

I made the correction because there were users itt who were confused by the article.

I honestly thought they were all the same person.

But i thought he bet small 20

I'm happy to admit that I'm a PH poker minion. PH 4 lyfe

Bet/fold pot sized turn bets all day yo, this is what the General does. And if that's not his nickname, all his friends suck.

I know this guy. I've played 2-5 against him a few times. I'd be shocked if he didn't earn close to $100 per hour playing this limit. He is a super LAG that small balls a lot. He is definitely 99 percentile in skill and in his thinking.

Anyway, he told me that he has approximately 20 short "No Limit Holdem Cash Games" books on the Amazon Kindle. Since I don't want to promote him (because he is such an arrogant *******) I'm not gonna give out his pen name/alias as a writer. All I'm gonna say is that he has taken on the first name of one of the earliest WSOP main event winners as the first name of his alias/pen name. I've never read any of his books but one of them has the words bet sizing and brutal isolation on them.

The kid uses so many blocking looking bets on the flop and the turn that you don't know if he might be trapping or bluffing at any particular time, or maybe he's just really just blocking. Before I read the OP article I thought that creating this balance was the only reason for his small ball play. Now that I've read it I know that he is thinking much deeper.

He is friendly but you can tell that he thinks he's a more privileged human being than you.

In terms of playing style, he's more like the Dan Negreanu of 2-5 "No limit Holdem Cash Games" than a Phil Hellmuth. But in his attitude, he's Phil. And yup, he does have white magic. Someone worth watching since he plays tournaments too. This guy can play, no question about it.

He will still be around in five years and he can only get bigger.

Lol stop

stfu how you gonna hype yourself lol n1

phil maomuth....fyp OP

Prolly a different individual altogether. Not yet famous enough to get trolled...like Doug Lee, for instance.

A lot of people in Vegas play this way. You probably just saw him when he was running good.

Even if he was God himself, he still wouldn't earn anything remotely close to $100 per hour playing 2-5 as you claim. Even half that at that limit may even be unrealistic even for the truly best of the best (the Iveys, Busquets, Galfonds and others assuming you can let them play their best that low).

Thanks Amarillo moss with 1 post. tell puggy whhaaaadup it's the trooper

$50 an hr unrealistic@2/5? surely you jest

his interview was pretty interesting....his bet sizing strategy is really good as a general rule of thumb but might get exploited by good players in higher stakes

Sounds like you should move back down.

If this clown is so good why is he not playing 10/20 at bellagio. Game runs every day...100 percent chance he reads these forums too...

He rides a hot dog like a champ!

Not as smart as you tried to make out in your other thread are you. Pretty obvious this is the subject of the article showing how lame/self obsessed he is

omg I found Him. I can't wait to eat all that **** up!
Thanks for the hints.

Sounds like you need a bigger sample size.
