he does supposedly, but he's either not that good or letting someone else play the account. The guy is (just imo ofc), a meh 400nl reg who wont play over 1knl and wont start games/play 3 handed unless there is a big fish. ridic achievement, shame its not him

I don't know what either of the last 2 posts mean.

I will play you four tables of NL600 on merge... pm me if interested.

he said 2000nl or higher. 600nl is lower

Thanks for the rail and the support people, much appreciated

Can you leave this guy alone? Hes made more of an impression in the poker world then any of you and you are saying he made a bad signing? **** off. Get a life. He's just living his life, hes young, let him be.

Love the first post. Not allowed to give out my screen name and then says
"Girah" in your HEM :P .

girah wasn't his screenname he didn't want to give out ldo

Yeah, now we know his screenname on Alias, any good rb deals there?

GL Jose, hope well see you at some EPT event so that all the non-believers stfu.
BTW, the only thing i will remember from this thread is what all the people remember from his last post. THAT MAXIMOSES DEGEN BRAIN RANGE IS TRIPLE ***** DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRED

how good do you think you are at plo?

.

José man, I couldn't have folded that KK in your spot. Your entire poker experience would have been forever changed without that successful lay down. I have to thank you though, because if I hadn't read your story today I mightn't have mucked KK on the button to a small 3-bet. Just had a feeling, and didn't ignore it with a shove. Both of them had AA.

I was listening to your interview on pokernews and there you mentioned a hand you played HU months ago. I tried to transcribe it but you speak so fast I had to rewind quite a few times!

The SB raised and you called from the BB with 76s
The flop came Q76 you checked, the SB bet and you called.
On the turn came a T and it went check, check.
The river came a 2 you checked he bet and you called.
He showed AT.

Then you explain your thought process like so (the transcription may not be entirely accurate)

"Because BTN didn't bet AT on the turn I could infer his turn betting range is polarized and his value range is only Qx+. If he's betting in a high frequency he will be bluffing a lot, if he's betting in a low frequency he will be value betting a lot, therefore I can make the adjustment to never raise his turn bet because raising against a polarized range is pointless, and instead
raise is bet-check-bet line a lot which will include his mostly weak second pair type hands that he checked behind on the turn. Not only that but if betting the turn is polarized at a low frequency I can check call the flop wider and expect to go to showdown often."

I don't understand the final sentence. What do you mean that if his turn is polarized at a low frequency you can check call the flop wider? Like you said before, if he's betting at a low frequency he will be value betting a lot so if you check call the flop you might be behind so I don't understand why you say you can check call wider in that spot. Of course this does not apply to that particular hand where you flopped two pair and you expect him to have Qx+. Bare with me I'm just a beginner trying to understand your thought process here.

thx

I would really be interested to know more about reads on villain and about the perceived image of girah cause in a vacuum he played this hand pretty terrible.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Can't be him, the girahh who plays on Merge is an average reg at best.

fml knew i was right...lot of things didnt add up and now people are seeing it,just read my previous posts on this thread and any reg wud agree wit me,pity there are so many believers that just dont ave a clue,unless u play online poker plz stfu nd dont post sayin this is an amazing read,its purely fiction

I think I'm decent at PLO now, I've been working extremely hard on my game recently (reading through "the PLO workbook" and LFTV's book and doing HEM work/running simulations) as well as getting coaching/talking to various good players. I've also recently been playing $25/50 and $50/100 4 tabling HUPLO matches on Lock against tough regulars to improve my game, they've gone well so far, but we'll see
Glad I could help.
Hey man, sorry about speaking so quick I'll definitely try and slow-down for my next interview. I think what I meant to say was something along the lines of this:

For example, I played a hand a few months ago where I had 76s HU, villain raised on the BTN, I flatted in the BB. The flop came down Q86 I c/c'd, turn was a T I checked, he checked behind, river was a 2 and I c/c'd, he had AT. At first I didn't think much of it, but then I realized the extent of the adjustments I can make from it. I can infer his turn betting range is extremely polarized, as his value range is Qx+, therefore if he's betting it at a high frequency he'll be bluffing a lot, and if he's betting it at a low frequency he will be value betting a lot. Therefore, I can make the adjustment to never raise his turn bet(because raising against a polarized range is mostly pointless; all better calls, all worse folds) and instead, raise his bet/check/bet line a lot, as it will include mostly weak 2nd pair hands he checked behind on the turn. Furthermore, if he's betting turns polarized at a low frequency, I can c/c flops wider and expect to get to SD more often. This is just one example of the amount of information you can get from one hand.

I realize the way I said it in the podcast it seems like I flopped two-pair and played really passively, it was a mistake: I intended to make the flop Q78, not Q76, although it's fairly irrelevant for the concept I was attempting to transmit anyway.
What I meant by bolded is that I can peel flop with more K-high/A-high/Weak pairs/Weak draws because I'm rarely gonna get barreled off my hand by air as he bets the turn at a low frequency, mostly for value, meaning if he does bet I can just safely fold. Another possible adjustment would be to c/r more flops or c/c flops and lead turns more for value.
Also, to all of you who feel this way, I welcome you to come find me at the NLHU tables at Lock at from 10/20NL to 200/400NL and PLOHU from 10/20PLO to 100/200PLO and we can play some. Also, if you'd like to organize or schedule a match feel free to contact me through here or on my site.

Also, as an unrelated update I've been playing a ton of high-stakes poker lately on Lock ($25/50NL, $50/100NL, $100/200NL, $25/50 PLO and $50/100 PLO - against ~8 different high-stakes regulars) and went on a huge heater ending up winning the Bluff Pro Lock Challenge (http://www.lockpoker.com/challenge/leaderboard) making the most profit on Lock this month (104k). I'm gonna be posting some of the biggest and most interesting hands on my blog soon so look out for that.
