The old USPC was some of my favorite poker coverage.

I looked at some of these. I definitely liked the structure of how he was presenting his data, but I tended to disagree with some of the things that he said. I approached it with the mindset of, "Players should have the primary goal of winning the game, with the secondary goal of winning the game with as much money as possible."

I did this project last year, by the way. My summary was that about 8% of players were losing games that they should have won, while 80-85% of winning players were winning an average of $3,000 less if they wagered optimally. (This was done by analyzing optimal strategies for certain situations, and then comparing them to how the actual contestants acted. Sample size was right around 350 episodes I believe).

applied some GTO poker tactics, i see nothing wrong with stalling, whatever is within the rules

You see! Our US politicians got it all wrong. Not all poker players are dumb, dirty, sleeze buckets after all!

GO FIGURE!

P.S. - I thought it was classic but funny and amusing during the early chatting bio segment and Trebek asked about losses and Jacob referred to big swing with the Swiss currency earlier in the year (as opposed to any poker related swings). Just goes to show you where the real "gambling" is occurring.

I watched the show Friday evening. That dude is unbelievably demonstrative; deep breaths, sighs, eye rolls...quite funny.

He smoked Disco category in the first round, had to be the old afro.

Gotta say it was pretty refreshing seeing someone eyeroll at Trebek. Best of luck to him.

Is there anywhere online your paper can be found?

Meh.....it was more of a slow roll than a stall

Awesome stuff

so how many episodes did he win? still going?

guess i will tune in tonight if i remember
