he does eat for free on comps ya know? that's better than being homeless and having to beg on the sidewalk lol..

Is Iceman a winning player? He seems like a tight knowledgeable player but I don't know.

would you be a winning player if you raised AKs and folded to shortstack's 20bb jam? how about opening KK and folding to a wild drunk's 100bb shove?

yes I have physically seen him make these plays.

I don't believe you sorry. No one folds those type hands.

you asked a question, I answered, and you don't believe.

then why ask dbag?

btw try read thru the thread you'll see that countless others have said the same things.

I read through the thread already and posted earlier but thanks though.

Hes not going to be a cg winner the way he plays doltmode. He likely is just trying to sustain to stay in the scene for tournament stakes and random sponsorship deals.

Why ask? bc it could just be a funny level

7. Teddy Monroe: The Iceman, a cash game grinder for nearly three decades, told Card Player, “If I go up early in a session I try to play much tighter. I know how easy it is to get trapped, and right now money means a lot. There is a serious recession in the nation right now, and if you have to be disciplined to avoid the tough swings. I’ve been in the game a long time, and I’ve truly developed patience for grinding day in and day out. For example, if I have pocket aces at $2-$5 and I make it $45. If somebody who has $400 on the table goes all in, I will throw my hand away and quit the game. I would be frustrated that I threw away the aces, as I didn’t get a chance to see the flop. Basically I minimize my potential losses. I don’t have huge swings anymore.”

It’s ultra-conservative to even consider folding aces preflop in hold’em, but Monroe has been surviving in the game for longer than most.

parrisron thanks for the link very interesting stuff indeed.

Is his watch real? And als, kevmode, it's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

Great find!!! I was thinking about this quote when I was reading the would he fold KK vs a drunk and AK with 20 blinds left chatter.

He plays like he went back in time and is playing NL Holdem in 1974

I might have never laughed so hard, and I'm not even stoned... actually just drunk, and I don't laugh much when drunk

don't understand this thread, where is the ice man? last time i saw him was on high stakes living

In his mind he's trying to be Phil Ivey... in reality he's bad and dumping his earnings from jewelry to the poker community.

saw him twice last week at the v. was mostly playing PLO but i saw him discussing with the floor all day.

i dont believe this

no one plays 2/5 and folds aces to a less than one buy in shove.. how the hell can he play 2/5 and consider 400 is a huge swing?

He pwned me pretty hard I must say, wp.

I may drive up to Vegas and play some O8 at the V. Def going to look out for him. If I see him I will say hi and ask him to freeze me.

Friend: "IceMan playing at Venetian right now."
Other friend: "You mean the lights were on?"

Folding Aces? LOL. I booked the weekend and will playing at V. I will look out for him.

You better if you want to avoid getting froze

I guess he has a 400 dollar bankroll. I still don't get folding AA a 5 to 1 favorite versus any pair and totally dominating an ace and face....

you guys may wanna read up on some high-level strategy if you think that AA fold is bad
