The Well: Jman28 (revisisted) - Page 23 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

This ended up being more like a tight ass rap than a poem. I hope that's okay.

KRANTZ

If you sit down in a game with a player like Krantz,
Chips are gonna hit the felt so hard the table might dance
Things are going pretty well, he's a fish at first glance
Realize 5 buyins later, you're the Bass like Lance.

Sure every now and then he gets his money in dead, yo
You look back at the hand and think, "**** where'd his head go?"
Yeah you might call him a monkey or an action junkie
Just make sure you call him when you need to stack a red pro

For those who play with him, if he's not playin nice.
I'll try to leave y'all with some solid advice.
If he's pushing you around and your stack starts to whither
Check back the nut flush. He'll check shove the river.

Holler

This rap/poem shows more insight into exploiting player psychology/tendencies than most pooh-bah posts. Just amazing.

I recommend writing these for $10,000 a pop. You'd make a fortune.

if a msnl winner wants to move up to nl1k, even nl2k and 5k.....what does it take to become successful in those limits? any differences you see from nl400/600 player and nl1k/nl2k and nl5k players?

u played a hand couple months ago (september?) in rail heaven, ill try to replay it with what i remember. if u can recall the hand, what would u have done if patatino insta shoved all in on the flop or min raised u?

seat1: omgclay (400-500k?) seat2: patatino (250k) 3: durrrr (200k) 4: david benaymine or gus? (500k) (sitting out?) 5: trex313 (350k)

omg in the bb. patatino raises to 3.5k or 4k, durrr reraises to 11k, trex folds, omg reraises to 30-40k. patatino flat calls, durrr folds.

flop- QQx r , x either 4-7. omg bets 15-20k into appr. 80k pot, patatino calls.

Well thought out questions will be met with well thought out responses.

1 year later... It feels like this was only a few months ago.

For the 1yr anniversary and in the spirit of the holidays (and bc I had a bad day of poker, and this will be good for my ego), I'm reopening the well for 1 day. I probably won't be awake long, but I'll answer what I can, and answer as much as possible tomorrow.

If I mod could change the thread title to include (revisited) that would help people not miss it.

Happy Holidays.

Do you think there is sufficient reason for 400nl players to abandon
six-max for Omaha or HU?

This reflects both on profitability of the other games in reference to
sixmax and how long you predict it will take for the average skill of
these games to meet the mean skill level of sixmax.

What's life all about? Like, what is your life philosophy/why do you do the things you do? Do you feel a sense of purpose or drive? Are you happy? I'd like to hear you ramble a bit... gogo stream of consciousness/ideas

Thoughts on the changes/biggest change you've seen in the online poker scene from one year ago? (whether it be hsnl, plo, general observations etc)

What level stakes do you think we could see this year after the introduction of all the railheaven tables and now a 500/1000PLO table lately?

What levels would you play up to atm assuming you had to have 100% of your action?

How important is are nonshowdown winnings at 6 max and hu. If i have a winning game but always end up with like -$5k in non showdown winnings and +$7k in showdown winnings does this matter. How can i improve it?

Whats the most expensive thing you have bought in the last year. Or 2 or 3 things if you want!

Tell us a cool story about a fellow HSNL player that we will think is interesting!

Thanks!

It's pretty much the same guys playing the huge games as at this time last year. Did you expect more newcomers?

Do you feel the nosebleed games have gotten tougher over the past year, or stayed about the same?

Hey Phil, at the beginning of the thread or so, you said something about having a passive personality and one other thing about being a little paranoic with what your opponent may have in certain spots and stuff like that, I really feel like that a lot and im just starting in the poker world, what did you do or how did you do to leave all that behind and just take it to the next level or whatever you want to call it.

How big of an edge would the best NL hold'em player of two years from now have on the best of today, assuming 100bb stacks?

Compare your level of degen from the different phases of your career please. Is it boring at the top. Would you be less happy of a person if you lost half your money ina snap. Would you be more happy of a person if you doubled your money in a snap?
