So I would think this would affect my natural inclinations in game play. However I try to be aware of this so any time I have these inclinations I reason it out at the same time, but probably having the inclinations in the first place does have an effect.
it all makes sense now

SSS and I watched this match live and watching Huck, who looked like he'd just rolled outo f bed, ruthlessly crush Vanessa's soul (all while chewing on dried fruit handed to him by Phil Hellmuth)was perhaps my most enjoyable poker moment to date

ty for taking the time to do a well

1) When/where/what stakes did you start playing poker at?
2) How fast did you progress?
3) What have you done outside of playing that you felt improved your game?
4) What % of your time online do you play x tables at once, where x is 1/2/3/4 etc?

seriously impressed with the quality of this thread given all the terrible turns it could've taken from the start.

having just finished reading through i do have two serious questions:

1. which did you like better, the original cube or cube 2 hypercube, and why?

2. after finding out that cube 2 hypercube existed, did you start referring to other theoretical sequels in the same way (i.e. "can't wait i just heard they're planning saw 2 hypersaw")?

Yes, I have a serious question too.

1. When you are playing a fish, do you play really nitty like majority of the regs do?

2. Is it optimal to play like a nit or play really loose? Is there such thing as a good nit?

3. Do you bluff fish?

4. How much you charge for coaching?

5. Are you better than PrimordialAA and spamz0r?

Aren't most winning players playing much wider ranges pre against fish?

I like the way you entered this thread and dusted alot of meh-comments and 'serious questions' of you.

Do you want to expand thoughts a little more on this one? Maybe with an example. I am not sure I completely understand you.

Polarization is pretty interesting, mostly because people arent really polarized when you think they are, it's weighted (only because, while, with that bet they can ONLY have nuts-or-air type things, they are still more likely to play nuts in a specific way and that either is closer or farther from what they are doing). Im not sure what you mean by categorization of ranges. As far as balancing ranges goes I think it's a ridiculous concept. You are only in each poker spot ONE TIME EVER. You cant be like "half the time i should have air in this spot" because you will NEVER BE IN THAT SPOT AGAIN. Balance is NEVER necessary, it is only necessary for your opponent to THINK you are balanced. There is still always an optimal play for the situation, and sacrificing optimal play to "achieve balance" is ridiculous. I can expand my thoughts more on this if you want. You have an argument for balance for the sake of balancing if you are 4 tabling an opponent at hu cash over like 50k hands,but this becomes more meta game and again less to do with base optimal play.

Callisto,
Not to dwell too long on the topic of range balancing given more entertaining questions, but when you say it's a ridiculous concept, do you mean that ranges should be continually customized to precisely suit individual villains and current 'game states' -- and not to any degree be constructed in pursuit of some hypothetical game theory optimum? Or am I somewhat missing the gist of your point on this?

I'm also unsure how you're intending the phrase "you will never be in that spot again." Surely there are standard types of spots that recur pretty often in a short span against the same villain. Are you just emphasizing the fact that gameflow and match-context will necessarily be ever-altering and non-identical from one moment to the next? Like if I raise pf and cbet range A on flop texture type B with effective stack C on hand 5 and on hand 9, where A, B, and C remain identical in both instances, you'd still consider that hand 5 and 9 are two uniquely different spots, because their exact match circumstances and historical position are (slightly) different?

DAN DIPASQUALE aka sss/carryhero--too many reasons to write here but I enjoy having my ass handed to me on a platter and he's done this to me a bunch. Not to mention all his posts, notably these:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/58...reflop-795876/
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/58...dragon-648187/
he is great at getting me off tilt, an inspiration!

zomg dont expose my real name, i have to remain a secret when i enter the live poker arena that i love so much. i thought you knew me better than that. also, i'm now convinced it was a fold to the 37bet.

since u refused to elaborate on why im great, i thought of a question for ur well, which of the following would you rank as what im best at (1 being the best):

1. naming random people and objects
2. folding
3. tilt removal
4. inducing spew
5. intuitively knowing who is the best craps player at a table
6. roulette

ty!

ps: if this question is not answered in the next 17 minutes i'm going to have to publicly challenge you to a no blind increase follow the queen husng behind your house.

Daniel Johns is single again and he wears vests with no shirt!! Always a good combo imo! I think you should definitely call him.
