A friend of mine just told me about this thread. You guys crack me up. I realize that many people would rather watch a hand where I make a poor decision than a good one, but if you're at all curious about how I took a non-standard line to win a critical pot HU and win the Premiere League Mixed Champ, feel free to watch the link below to my A9 hand, starting at minute 4:05:

Best of luck to you all -- feel free to say hello if you see me at the WSOP. Maybe I can continue to flop joints and win another bracelet today

Awful poker personality.

There is a difference between making horrendous plays and taking unconventional lines.

And by friend you mean you google your name everyday to see if people are starting to respect your game because of recent success. Don't bother, whenever most of us hear your name we think of the qq hand.

To be fair when a player has ran 4 or 5 sigma over EV in their (brief) poker career that's a very difficult distinction for them to make

you got some issues

I carried on watching Andy. You called Feldman's all in with K10off and then sucked out. Fold QQ, flops trips and embarrass yourself and then top it off call your chips off with K10. Saying that, you did make Feldman cry, which gets you a few kudos. And I stress the word few.

so you weren't already at your peak motivation to play your best until some strangers on the internet said you play bad in NVG? who cares what they say or what i say, you're having more success in poker right now than anyone in this thread. trying to keep that up should be plenty of motivation

Guy makes couple bad plays on TV and you people already make him worst player ever.

These players rarely take the 'standard' line and are successful due to things that are harder to quantify, but just as effective.

Whenever I see any of these guys make a play that I don't understand and it looks bad on its face, I always try to break it down and figure out what they were doing. Obviously everyone makes mistakes and sometimes the plays are just bad, but most of the time I wind up coming to a conclusion that further educates me about the game.

Good post. If there's 1 thing I've learned from Phil Galfond it's to be openminded as much as possible. I don't know enough about Andy Frankenberger to come to a conclusion about his play other than it's very weird. I think it's likely he's -EV and obv he's run like god even if he is +EV. Defo someone I'd be interested watch more of though.

PS - Andy you look like a tool posting itt, just fyi

and straight after you shoved K10 into KQ and binked with nearly equal stacks amirite?

please tell me more about how much you outplayed everyone.

you think you're too good to improve and by replying to everyone itt and refusing to take even the slightest bit of criticism, you've proved to the world what an epic douche and poor ambassador of the game you are.

good luck in the wsop (you'll need it lol)

Matt said it best. This isnt chess we talking about there isnt always right or wrong stragety. I though agree with most here Frankeberger makes surreal donkey playes but he just has to do alot of good things so just keep it up play your way.
