Definitely. Nothing like a good cheeseburger.

sky-diving looks fun, would you recommend it?
For sure. If you have issues with motion sickness (I do a bit) it can be a problem, also if you feel like you would hate it, you obv shouldn't force it.

wow, I always had a lot of respect for you as a person and a poker player. You're pretty much the last person I would expect to use "gay" in a negative context. Really dissapointed by this.

Volume is the biggest anti-tilt, knowing what to expect, psychologically preparing for bad runs before they happen. Don't think of all the money you've won as yours yet. Reserve 20BI at least in your mind as a bonus not yet cleared.

how well did you manage your money? did you have any cashout strategy?

more money more problems?
Sometimes specific hand, sometimes specific range. Most of the time I just always try to play individual hands optimally against all but the best of players (no need to sacrifice EV now for EV later ever against most people).

I've always managed money very well, it's only done good things for my life.

It provided real world experience in finding edge that the company valued a lot.

I think the most husngs are about 3000 so nothing that big considering most of those are supers.

While I never go violent in chat, there have been times where I've really gone after someone's insecurities. I can't think of anything specific.

Nothing that baller. Going to Switzerland and this Spanish Mansion Vegas house I was at for 6 weeks have to top the list.

she´s reading this isn´t she?

What is your favorite sexual position ?

What is your least favorite sexual position ?

Why don't you eat meat ?

When you said only a handful for that other stuff, did you mean blowjobs, handjobs or is it a mixture ? Because handjobs are just wack

Why did you never write that rap ?

Why did you never ask me for life coaching ?

Are you willing to run one 4 man with me if ftp re-opens ?

When we played werewolf, I felt there was some tension between us, true or false ?
07-13-2011 , 04:17 PM
Funny how the internet works, you don't want to post your name but your sexual curriculum vitae is fine
07-13-2011 , 04:20 PM
Could you perhaps talk about how you coped with rough swings, how hard your work ethic has been, how much effort you have put into learning poker/HUSNGs?

Thanks

was it hard work to find an excuse for your wayyyy overdue exit from poker?

on a more serious note, could you describe to me (know nothing about stock market) what you are actually going to do and what makes it intriguing enough to quit poker

You are saying mers choice for relationships instead of one night-stands is a negative?

Spoiler:
I completely agree.

Why would I do it if it were my least favorite? I don't like anything with feet. The donkey punch seems excessively violent. The ghost is probably rape.

Excessive pain and suffering in the industry is the main reason.

I meant mutual crossdressing and tickling of the anuses. wtf is a blowjob?

Quote:

I can't handle it, c-c-c-call me on my cell phone, I get busy!

Quote:

I used what you taught me for a HUSNG.com video, which I assume you watched.

Quote:

Yes.

False. All's fair in love and werewolf. It's best to completely separate the real world from it.

So part of what I meant by "balls" earlier is the kind of determination that matters, being willing to work hard and fight through **** to move up and get to the top. I think that's really important.
07-13-2011 , 05:55 PM
hi mersenneary, always been a big fan of you despite our conflicts.

Thoughts on playing ATs and KJs first hand oop facing a minraise in a ST?

Thoughts on why R-Q and H2Olga raise to t45 instead of t40?

Thoughts on Serkules's winrate over his sample size?

and....
thoughts on my game?

Thanks.

In general terms, it's a little like sports betting/market making. If you play at a ****ty sportsbook, you have to pay $110 to win $100 to bet on Real Madrid and $110 to win $100 to bet on Manchester United, if those were even teams. The sportsbook sucks and doesn't know much about sports or how to change their lines based on betting, so they charge a big vig which is sure to make up for any errors that they might make. At a much smarter book, they can afford to offer $105 or $104, or at betting exchanges, very close to $100 to win $100.

So basically it's similar. It has to do with using mathematical modeling to measure the true price of things when that true price is very complex and has to be super adaptive to new inputs, like how much of the stock is being bought or sold at the time. The goal is to undercut everybody else and offer people the best possible price to buy or sell, while at the same time not opening yourself up to so much risk/bad deals that you're getting poached by other expert bettors.

I'll leave it at that mostly because I am currently very inexperienced and don't know enough about what I'm talking about yet. The cool thing is that they just bring people in who they believe are capable of learning and go from there. They didn't care at all that I have no traditional finance experience at all yet.

Part of the allure is the big challenge that such complex problems will be. I also loved that I felt like the dumbest person in the room when interviewing with people at the company. Being around so many intelligent people like that and solving puzzles with them should be pretty damn cool.

jam ATs against minraise readless. Against an opponent who knows you have a healthy 3bet bluff frequency it becomes a 3bet/call, if you think you rarely induce a jam from hands that wouldn't be calling a jam (a decent assumption readless with no dynamic), it's bad to non-allin 3bet. A good litmus test with the AT: If your opponent is jamming A4o over your 3bet, then 3bet. If he's folding A4o to a 3bet, then jam.

KJs is a 120/call readless and a 100/call if you give your opponent some credit to know to jam over your 100 3bets if KQ/KJ/KTs etc are in your 120 range and expect to be playing him or her a lot.

Too much respect for R-Q/H2O to publically break down that raise size, but just think it through and what they can accomplish from doing that raise size then adjusting frequencies depending on how you react (the short answer is that many people react poorly or fail to re-adjust appropriately).

Serkules is the midstakes sejjeturbo GOAT for sure. To sum his edge up in one sentence, he does a good job of intuitively knowing that some standard conclusions people come to about the math of situations aren't true at all (although I don't think he really does the calculations, he just knows people are wrong and he can do things they wrongly think are bad and be profitable). I'm sure he's also run quite well throughout his career but no shame in that.

u cnat spel noted that I missed a question.

I was trying to be polite. You're the worst midstakes reg there is. You have massive timing tells and FPS syndrome and are constantly overthinking spots because of it and somehow finding ways to play them wrong when they're quite straightforward. Your conception of the math is based off of mere notions of what might be correct which reveal your lack of actual understanding whenever someone makes an even somewhat creative adjustment. You're more afraid of getting owned than not making the most profitable play so you justify ridiculous hero calls and yet at the same time try to make huge hero folds in a Hellmuthian dance trying to convince yourself you get away from spots others wouldn't. Which side of that you'll be on any particular day you'll display freely in chat with some of the most astonishing chat spew I've ever seen. You don't actually understand when to 3bet light or what hands are good to do it with (both deep and short), you just mimic what you see other people do and laugh it off as just a funny play you made when someone questions you about it, and make a mental note for the next time you try to imitate a correct adjustment. I could go on and on but...

Spoiler:
I'm just kidding, I wish you were bad at poker, but you're one of the better regs.

True. If he wants to puff the peter let him, he is good at pokerz.. on screen and between the cheeks in the sheets.

LOL. Troll out.

Math question

if we want calc implied odds, its is correct?

we know we have 9 outs to win, and we are on turn. opp bet 1/2 150 into 300
46/9 = 5,1 (46 we know, 9 is our outs). 5,1*150 = 765. we have to won 315chips more on riv to make it 0EV. It is correct?
07-13-2011 , 07:35 PM
would you rather grind online 1/2 FR one table 7 hours a day till youre 60 or give out one kidney (given both of them are currently healthy)
07-13-2011 , 07:38 PM
kidney
07-13-2011 , 08:27 PM
Thanks for doing a well.

- Interesting fact/skills that you have that we do not know about?

- favorite hobby outside of poker

- Places you would reccomend a player from the U.S to move to that seem like a cool place to live.

thx again and gl this year
