you know this isn't true. i sent you one message on your personal website yesterday evening.

I don't think he knows what the redline and blue line mean TBH, if you look at my graph, I'm exploiting people who overfold in lines like the x/x/b (something I talk about in the book) by overbluffing. Not sure how that makes me passive. Redline/Blueline debate is a red herring though as it doesn't say anything meaningful IMO. If you don't believe me go to Sauce's AMA on RIO where he says the same.
your "exploit" is a check down to the river and bet? sounds great

Here's a funny piece of strategy for you. He probably watched my 5c video where I played on stars and sat with 40bb and limped a lot IP and therefore calls me passive.
yup
Quote:
Well as discussed in the book, the optimal preflop IP strategy at 4c HUPLO involves lots of limping with specific parts of your range. It's logical to think that translates to 5c. He omits the fact that I was probably 3Bing 25-30% to exploit the fact my opponents don't understand this. Classic case of the Dunning Kruger Effect. He doesn't know enough to know he doesn't know.
bro, the amount of money you posted in your stupid graphs, my horse won half that last month alone. i quit these games years ago because i stopped getting action. 'dunning kruger' for sure.

Like I said, I actually won 15 buy ins more in that roughly the same sample (only played another 3k hands I would estimate) which puts my winrate at something like 12bb/100. I think that's pretty solid. Of course, some will just call me a liar, but then again why ever trust a graph someone posts? Anyone could delete one hand from every session and massively skew their winrate. It's a matter of trust. If someone doesn't trust me, that's fine, but I can't see that I've done anything untrustworthy, Phil Galfond is happy to keep me on for a teacher for years and sells one of my books. My 2017 book which cost roughly $1500 received wildly favorable reviews too.
15 buyins, wow, write a book then why don't you

I admitted to struggling with mental game. I think it's a sign of strength to admit your weaknesses and limitations.

Part of that was due to not wanting to play poker any more when I felt I had a calling elsewhere.
ya, scamming people with overpriced poker content.

It is kind of humorous that I'm receiving criticism on that from this dude who has a) never read my book
we trolled you and got a sample. your blanket 75/40/25 rule is cute.

c) is investing a lot of time attacking someone on the internet he doesn't know.
it's really not that much time
Quote:
Projection? Also why are a player's mental game struggles relevant when they write a poker theory book?
because it reveals how unqualified you are to be doing this

I sent the book to Mason which I'm sure he'll confirm. Looking forward to his review and respect his free market approach. If the book is garbage, I expect him to tell you.
'free market' approach just means that bums like you get to mercilessly exploit the information gap between buyer and seller, that's why you 'respect' it
clearly you don't 'respect' it enough to directly address valid criticisms of your pathetic two-bit hustle
i'm not the only one who came itt and said your videos sucked, and you have exactly zero people coming in here to defend you so far.
