Since KSmith has posted itt and you are buddies with alot of Hisgh Stakes regs, could you talk about Multiaccounting in High Stakes? Naming some people would be great but even if you don't, how common is it and how much of a problem is it?

Hey Primo, congrats on the pooh-bah mate!!! Just a few random questions, i will try to think of some more detailed a bit later...

1. Who out of all your students do you think has the most potential?
2. Have you ever had a student where you looked at his/her play and just felt it's really not worth it?
3. What do you think the most optimal line vs an unknown (1st 5 hands or so, and 70BBs deep), when you 3bet JJ pre, they call, and the flop comes: A. A96 B. KT8
C. QK4
4. What would be your default line in the situations above if you were 25BBs effective and you 3bet to 8-9BBs pre.

That is all for now i think, but will try to think of some more.

Primo, who is better, Paulgees or FatalError? Who is crazier? Would you feel confident enough on an edge to book action if it were available (or side bets, theoretical though)?

I'm pretty sure you've targeted primo's strat posts specifically for ridicule.

Also he's already crushing afaik.

What's up man? What would you say is the most common mistake (or mistakes) you see HUSNG players make? (This could apply to students you just started working with, opponents, etc.)
Enjoying this thread btw, thanks!

HUGEEEE edge vs primo 1 and 2 yrs ago, solid edge vs primo 0.5 years ago (but I think any winning reg these days would have a HUGE edge over most of the best HU SNGrs 2 yrs ago (see stevesbets) )

no clue on the best hand i've folded preflop... I rarely fold , so I doubt it was better than 88 =/


and my wife def. pwns obama in poker, but she tilts way harder, so he's prolly more profitable

What will you be doing for your birthday?

What's your favorite kind of cake?

If you got a coconut cake, would your birthday be ruined?

Happy birthday!

1. Who out of all your students do you think has the most potential?


Well it's kind of a tossup, I haven't worked a TON w/Spammy cause he's lazy, but he's a great player now and is doing super well on his own, so he obv had alot of potential when we started,

otherwise I would say All_Or_Nothing, and I totally believe that, poker wise he has EVERYTHING he needs to be great, he just can't keep it together



2. Have you ever had a student where you looked at his/her play and just felt it's really not worth it?


Nah never, sometimes w/people I have for 6 months in my coaching/staking/mentoring deals I have ended them, but never someone who has hired me to coach them, i've coached from complete beginners to poker in general to high stakes winning regs, but no matter how bad they start out at, most improve pretty quickly, and if they don't, alot of it is personal stuff and we point it out and they work on fixing it or improving focus


3. What do you think the most optimal line vs an unknown (1st 5 hands or so, and 70BBs deep), when you 3bet JJ pre, they call, and the flop comes: A. A96 B. KT8

B/fold on flop 1, maybe c/call the flop on flop 2, but it's close


C. QK4

oops missed this, not sure, I might ck/fold here vs an unknown, but I spew really hard so usually not ;p, but ck/fold might be optimal since most donks aren't capable of bluffing here and a 3bet / ck flop generally looks pretty strong


4. What would be your default line in the situations above if you were 25BBs effective and you 3bet to 8-9BBs pre.


A) Shove, B) shove or ck/call, flip a coin, C) no clue, who 3bets to 8-9 bb anyways =/


That is all for now i think, but will try to think of some more.

Enjoying this thread btw, thanks!

I think I answered this a bit earlier, or something similar, but i'd say calling OOP too wide or calling 3bets too wide, and also playing way too fit or fold OOP after they call wide ;p

Hey Primo,

My questions are 1. How best to maintain confidence and poise after being beaten by better players? Just really shakes my ability to play when I get crushed several games in a row while trying to improve and play at the lower limits. 2. My biggest weakness?

Btw, Ive just started taking lessons from Primo, and had no idea he was only 21. Im honestly kinda embarassed someone so much younger than me has such noticeably better self (tilt) control
Congrats on all your success, and keep up the good work

hi prima i see you played when you were underage so here is my question. What advice would u give to a 15 yr old who is making about $4k every month since the beggining of this yr playing HU (no lucky tourny wins). This 15 yr old is struggling to be motivated to do school h/w when he is making pretty good money just playing part time (it beats his mates jobs for $10 p/h at mcdonalds lol) and has hopes for possibly playing full time in a few more yrs where he thinks he could make triple or quadruple that if he puts in the volume. This 15yr old, still cares about school, because he thinks u need a backup if poker never works out but right now poker is looking too good to worry about school and is lacking the motivation. HELP
