I think it's insanely stupid to invest tournament winnings in higher levels of cash games plus I don't think he's playing lower due to bankroll issues.

Normally of course, but hes just written a book thats supposed to be excellent. So if you have the knowledge, skills and bankroll to play much higher, why would you play 2/4?

In almost every science field best theoreticians are not that good in practice and he's openly admitting about his tilt issues and I think he's trying to fix his PTR winrate asap so he can sell more books and coaching while the metal is hot.

I fail to see how I'm being results oriented.. Are you really suggesting that there's a significant chance people will 5bet you here? Of course OP knows the players better than anyone else here, but getting a live donk to 5bet pre with 0 FE after openlimping and coldcalling a 3bet is a bit of a stretch to me.

I think reality is the polar opposite of what you're saying. Approving of the 4bet is being results oriented, since in this particular situation the hand played itself postflop, but most of the time, you're gonna face much more challenging boards, with your stack mismanagement creating perfect check/raising stacks for your opponent.

I am not expecting to get 5 bet often here. IIRC Button had 2300, BB had 1600, EP1 had 2600, EP2 had me covered. I was able to make it 800 or so to go total so if anyone else calls me other than EP2 there is less than one psb left on flop. Even when EP2 calls me there isnt much more than two psbs left in stack, so i dont understand ur comment about 'perfect checkraising stacks' escpecially when i am checking back some flops. Most importantly EP2 is a tilted, gambling live player who is going to make mistakes and get it in too light on dry boards, or make a transparent bluff, so i actually have implied odds with him.

Of course i could be creating a big clusterfkc with my reraise where it goes three or four way and i have to get out on too many flops, but based on the way this game plays and the stacks involved that really didnt seem likely.

all of antchev's responses to this were dead on, though I've basically given up on fixing my ptr to sell more books. At this point all I can do is let the free preview and reviews do the selling and concede that the PTR won't.

also, i had 40% of myself in the 5k.

Keep it and where it everywhere. Tell everyone how you won a tournament one time and take pics at Joe Hachems house.

OK, is someone having a worse year than me? I'm on the verge of fourth losing month out of 5 in 2010 after having only 3 for the past 3 years. Every month I'm running worse than I have ever imagined except for the winning one where I broke even in EV. I've even started to look at job offers again

PS. And gavz, I know your 2010 cash results look terrible, but come on, you have just binked a major SCOOP event

Okay, sorry, I've just watched a couple of his videos at 1/2 and 2/4 and I don't think they were his regular stakes back then, IIRC, that's all...
