Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs - Page 1910 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

I find it quite strange reading people criticize OMC's play. He literally plays like every decent 1/2 old timer reg ever. I'm just shocked that people are shocked about how he plays his hands.

Good luck finding a bunch of sickos senior citizens (OMC's age or older). I can count the # of good ones I know of on one hand and that's taking into consideration every player I've ever played with, every player I know of from these forums, and every famous poker pro that I've ever heard of.

OMC does play like lots of old guys I’ve played with and while it isn’t optimal, they accomplish the objective of making their money last. But have you ever been to Florida? There’s definitely some aggressive geriatric players that I’ve played with several times. Even in Ohio/WV I can think of 10-15 guys old enough to have been in Nam who are aggressive sickos in deep stack games. Every player in 2/5 or below has tons of obvious leaks (me too) but in general I think people of all ages in 2021 have figured out that playing super nitty or super aggressive allow you to suck a little less with the least amount of thinking.

What a disaster. Trooper Thursday. He has pocket Queens in late and just calls after just about the whole table limps.

That's not what happened at all.

That was in Vegas 5/T and I'm pretty sure most of the grinders viewed him as fish playing too many hands.

Push Up contest at Trooper Thursday. I love the movie he referenced, "Falling Down" 1993
Michael Douglas.

Honestly I like trooper but he really struggled to pump out those 14? pushups. Then he got mogged by the dude that is 450.

That is more push ups than he has done in the last 10 years. Also more than at the beginning of "Stripes".

I'm 55 with white hair, but thankfully still a full head of hair. I'm sure a lot of the younger guys at the tables look at me and right away, without seeing me play a hand, categorize me as an OMC. I've even been called sir before. And I think I sometimes play like a bonafide OMC. So I guess what makes an OMC depends who you ask.
To me, an OMC is a guy around 60,70ish who bets 6 dollars into a 30 dollars pot on the turn, allowing me to call that bet with my gut shot to the nut straight and then letting me induce him to an all in on the river after I get there.
Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'm impressed Trooper can do 14 pushups. Didn't think he was in that good of shape, although he had poor form with his legs apart like that.

The big dude did 0 pushups. The only time he actually pushed all the way up was after he fell down.

When I think of OMCs, I'm mostly thinking 70+ years old. If they were in World War II then expect their raising range to be super tight.

A real push up is when you touch your nose to the ground and keep your back straight.

I dont think they are great players. I agree, there’s not 15 great players i could name in 2/5 or below my entire life. My point is, they don’t play passive nit omc style poker. They have deeper pockets of money they are willing/able to put into action but i’d say whale is not the term to describe them. To me a whale is calling down 3 streets with bottom pair, not blasting off on 4 straight boards with their missed flush draws if that makes sense?

WW2 vets are in their 90s bro, i don’t think there’s too many of them still in the average player pool.

Vietnam vets, Korean vets. Pudding or Porridge. We got the point.
I'm sure there's some WW2 vets still around.
I once sat next to a guy so old and feeble; it was a fixed limit game; that I had to push his chips in the middle for him. I think he was a WW1 veteran, but I'm not entirely sure. Actually, sitting next to him made me feel young again.

I lived in Germany in the 90's and actually met many German WW2 vets.

The line I remember best from one of our vets was, that if we didn't drop the bomb on Japan, we'd have lost a lot of our boys.
From a German, We were only following orders and doing our duty, lol.

I'm curious too. Hope he's okay.

In his last vlog he said he was 100% full time poker. Maybe he's marathon grinding and has no time to make videos. Unlike his poor nemesis Trooper, who has only made a vlog 43 days in a row (so far) but only averages 6 hours per session.

I only saw him play KK once. It was UTG plus 1. He was first in and limp re-raised a late position raiser. He got called. I didn't watch the rest of the hand.

What are you talking about? My grandfather served in World War II. There are still about 100k Americans that served in World War II alive today.

Wow, he's a LAG then. Generally when one is 95+ yrs old the preflop raising range tends to be like AA+.

Not too long ago. A little before the pandemic.
That WW1 thing was just a poor attempt at humor. I wasn't serious.
But every other part was true. His hands were shaky. I don't know how old he was, but he was pretty old.
