4) What % of your time online do you play x tables at once, where x is 1/2/3/4 etc?
1) pokerstars, like 2005 or 2006 i think, 10c/25c 6m
2) so slowly, i'm stubborn as **** and had no money or self control so that didnt really lend itself to the makings of a br management superstar
3)talked with other super smart poker players about the game and hands
4)on a sunday im playing like 10 tables for most of the day, hu most of the time im 4-tabling

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")?
1) prefer original but 2 is super cool, mostly cuz 1 felt more realistic, as lol as that is....also HAVE YOU SEEN CUBE ZERO??? THE PREQUEL?

2) no i refer to it as simply "hypercube"

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?

1. Depends on the fish, def would not say most of the regs play supernitty tho.
2. Again opponent dependent and heavily dependent on how good you are post/ oop. The better skilled you are post and oop the looser you can play starting ranges imo
3. Yes
4. Depends on how much I like the person and how much of a pain in the ass they will be to coach jk. Cant say on the forum but you can pm me if you're interested.
5. Only played spamz one time on hella tilt and he owned me. Who's PrimordialAA?

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?

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

The standard type of spots, imo, simply cannot be looked at mathematically like that. Like there are SO many situational factors that go into "repetitive situations." Take, for example, something as elementary as the situation you described occurirng for the second time. The fact that it is the second time is actually a huge part of what you should be doing. I would consider that hand 5 and 9 are two uniquely different spots for that and other reasons. For example, proximity to blind increases should shift things, opponent's awareness of how much you have been bluffing/ what they have seen of your showdowns/what level of comfortability they have vs you in the match is going to change their perception of your repeated play. The minutia of the "ever-altering game context" is huge and your awareness of the situational factors and momentum will for sure dictate that no two spots will ever be the same. In fact, for me personally, it is these situational factors that allowed me to make and inhabit nonstandard plays that i consider a huge part of my edge. Now, obviously the recognition of "spots" is what allows experience to advance capability. My point is not that utilizing awareness of how to play in similar recurring situations is not important, rather that allowing the situational factors to come into play rather than simply saying "this is spot a i should play it in way b" is a crucial decision-making factor as far as evaluating optimal play.

As far as range balance goes, basically I think what I said i think. The concept is there in order to create the idea to your opponent that you could have a value hand as easily as air in a specific situation. What people fail to realize is the important part about this is that your opponent THINKS this, not that you do this to adhere to some idea of achieving game-theory equilibrium in a game. Sacrificing optimal play in order to do this may very well "balance" you but cost you equity in the long run.

can you pm me the short stories of the umbrella man or the links?
Most of the aha moments were when i trusted my instincts in certain spots (most of these were aha hero calls but not all) and had turning points in my mental development. Like there was this one match i remember with sixthsense where he checkraised the river in a pot where I was aware that my bet on the river was heavily indicating thin value. He had c-cd the flop in question with something like 77 on kt2, and at the time i think he was c-cing to get to showdown. This however changed once i bet river bc his analysis of my strength changed and put together the puzzle. Being aware of the plan someone has for a hand, and being able to sense when his plan changes (based upon whether he thinks he has the best hand or not from what you do on later streets) is pretty amazing stuff, and because I was aware of what level he was thinking on, I knew that he could see this and what he was doing, and called this massive c/r and was right.

Another was in the 10k hu where i had the balls to pull the trigger on a c/r river bluff for most of my stack v apathy (who was easily top 5 in the field). That one involved a lot of multi-level hand analysis and I was proud for being able to think so clearly in the moment and execute optimal play. stuff like that, i'll try to think of some more.

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.
1. naming random people and objects FOR SURE
2. tilt removal
3. inducing spew
4. folding
5. roulette (you are a champion but the other things you are just SO good at )
6. intuitively knowing who is the best craps player at a table--You are not skilled at this you just ran hot because i know how to roll a dice

I think when Frogstomp first came out they made an impact.

Pretty big so far as an Australian act breaking into the American market goes anyway.

Not an easy thing to do unless you are AC/DC.

If I ever happen to obtain his number you'll be the first to know. Odds = pretty slim. But you never know.

Yea i remember seeing ana's song/ anthem for the year 2000 on mtv etc. i guess i was thinking mainstream popularity. Everyone i mention them to knows them ofc.

What do you think about the future of online poker?

If online poker were to go into serious decline, what would you do for the currency?

Do you see yourself playing poker long-term or is it just a means to an end?

Thanks
