Wow... Your uncle is Timman? Sick!

Do u sit at a desk when playing poker? If not, where do u play poker?

1. Against a TAG, at 75bb, who's c/ring a fair amount with strong hands/draws, air would you rather 3x from the button with K2o, or 23s?
2. Facing a normal sized 3bet, when is it okay to call 77,66,55,44(?) (stacksizes, reads, etc)
3. When is it okay to check/raise middle pair?
4. Do you advocate tableselecting at $30-$100?
5. Did/do you quit players who you think are better than you, or do you keep playing as a challenge?
6. Best way to deal with tilt for a normal player?

What is your motivation for starting this thread ? Why be bothered to answer 2+2-ers dumb questions when you could spend the same time playing poker at your ridiculously high hourly ?

yes

yes

My motivation for starting this thread is that I will be making more coaching videos in the future and that this will gain me some popularity, which will increase the value of my videos. I'm embarrassed to say I kinda enjoy the attention to.

It's weird we live in a society where people have to embarrassed about that when basically that's what everyone wants. You deserve the attention, so no problem there, imo.

Chopin or Ronald Jenkees?

When analysing play from the perspective of game theory, do you use some software, do it by hand or just apply the concepts in an intuitive way?

1. Close but I think 23s, because this player is more likely to attack a board we hit with that hand then a K-hi flop.

2. In husng's its almost always shove or fold. I guess with confident reads you could call some low pps at fullstacks. Against an unknown I might just call with 66-88 first hand. I've always thought tho that it kinda seems like there shouldnt be that much difference between 22 and 77 against most 3b ranges.

3. If you have the right flop dynamic for it you can checkraise mp +good kicker for value, or if very shallow to stackoff. Bottom pair is a much better candidate for check-raising, as a semi-bluff and because it is harder to play on future streets if you check/call (obviously vurnable to overcards and hard to call down barrels with)

4. Depends on your goals but it can be a good idea.

5. Whats annoying about husngs is the high rake, so it becomes a losing play or just a waste of time to play opponents you're very close to in skill. For this reason I've quit a few players.

6. Force yourself not to tilt, take frequent brakes, definitely stop your day when you are feeling tilted, cigarettes, try not to care.

How did u become friends with Livb? After the 'chat-wars' u had?

+1, And wasn't it weird to go live with him and his family for several weeks? Plus he is like 8 years older than you no?

What do you think the most unexplored parts of heads up poker might be? Say we looked forward three years, what do you think might change as far as strategies and such?

if the top husng players of 10 years ahead were to play against the best players as of now, how much of an edge could they maintain in the different structures?

What about for turbos/reg speeds? Same or different?

Have you ever considered mentoring someone from the lower stakes? If so, i think i may have found the perfect candidate.

Chopin, thanks for that, haven't listened to it for a long time.

I use software to analyse individual opponents or filter out specific situation, or just to go through hands. Any hud program will do for this. I also calculate some theoretical situations that come up a lot.

The format of husngs doesn't suit well for battles between two good player because of the high rake, so if you're already at a certain level, say my level of play, then it doesn't become worth the effort to get better. Even though there is a ton of room for improvement towards the theoretical perfect game, it will hardly improve your winrate. I do expect everyone's sub 30bb game to get better, most regs are pretty bad at this still.

It's really cool reading this thread and seeing you be open about your strategic insights. Will we get to see more videos and things like that in the future?

We weren't on friendly terms at first but I understood the unfluence of tilt and frustration that grounded that, he was still a person I looked up to. At one point liv needed to loan 30k on very short notice. We didn't knew eachother and hadn't talked before aside from ftp chat and I said yes. He really appriciated this and invited me to stay with him and his family for thanksgiving.

I was really excited about this - I'd always wanted to go to the US and I looked up to this guy and thought he was really cool. He was engaged at the time (married now) and his fiance had two stepchildren only a little younger then myself, which kinda made me fit in like a third kid, which was pretty funny. I planned to stay for a week and ended up staying for six weeks and almost moved to NY close to them. I had a really fascinating time there, liv would take us to all kinds of opera's and theatre plays, and some more typical american stuff, like a basketbal game which was really cool to see for real. Very memorable weeks.

If I had to guess: ±2%

Yes. There are some stats that would be helpful, like check/raise percentage, fold to double barrel etc, but those are only meaningful over large samples.

There wouldn't be much in this for me and I don't consider husngs something where you would take someone under your wing and make him some poker prodigy out of "love for the game", or really anything other then own gain.

I will be making at least a few more videos for husng.com.
