TL;DR.

Implicit assumption: the play is live.

Alternative assumption: the play is online and the live players die screaming.

Yeah, OP is not entirely clear about that. But anything else than referring to live play would be ridiculous. Relying on sould-reads online seems even more absurd than doing it live.

Pretty much sums up the differences in the games I think. The better player is the one who can adapt to the game that he is in.

Gabe doesn't clearly define terms, explain anything with the use of reason, or form logically structured arguments. arguing with him about anything is futile.

it sucks though. it was way more hilarious when i thought he was serious about convincing those that disagree with him that he is right. or at least serious about showing some of the merits of his theories using logic or a somewhat reasonable explanation (regardless of how poor the spelling and grammar is) because he clearly believes what he is saying.

It likely has WAY more to do with basic logic/poker skills than physical tells

It's pretty easy to do this with Ivey's hand when you eliminate all value hands from Jackson's range. If Ivey has seen this guy slowplay good hands, Ivey has the best hand 99% of the time. 7 never plays this way, draws never make the mini-reraises (shoves for fold equity or just calls given cheap price instead).

It's quite an easy hand to disect.

Do you consider standard poker reads that could be made online to be "live tells" as well?

Do you REALLLLLLLLLLLY think people don't understand that live poker is 10 handed and often times deep?

I highlighted the relevant parts of your post. I feel like you were here to defend Gabe's view, but then you just completely supported the other side of the argument. Honest nut peddling/eliminates ability to outplay postflop is an argument that overall basic poker skills are less important whereas your specific cards/ability to hit the nuts are much more important. The only part of your post that supports anything that Gabe has said is that the games are deep (which allow for big bluffs in 1v1 turns/rivers). We all are not 12 yrs old. We understand the games can get crazier when deep b/c there is more ammunition in the chamber.

I still want to know what a casino gets out of using lasers to cheat in a poker game?

I disagree with the bolded part. He wasn't unlucky it was you in the hand, in fact it was lucky it was you given that he ended up all in with a hand that domiated yours. He was only unlucky that you sucked out on him.

Dude, 5-bet/fold with garbage is legitimately genius play.

Pius must be the greatest player to ever live if he 6bet AI the best female player w a 9 in his hand

As Oscar Levant said "There is a fine line between genius and insanity."

Someone that way too often takes far too aggressive lines with substandard holdings because they always think their opponent is weak is not fearless, genius, or even good at poker for it. They are fairly easy to outply, and they are the one of the best kind of donators; those that think they are incredible players, yet consistently lose. In general, they are also tourney donks, and the poker landscape is littered with them.

Makes sense Daliman. I think these over-aggro players live for the moments when they shove 94o over a guy's JJ pre and he folds. The high makes up for all the times they get called by the 'boring ABC' players who are quietly crushing them.

tl;dr.

Just wanted to follow up and see if:

1) There has/had been an online player vs. Gabe match set up yet

-or-

2) It has finally been announced this entire thread is a huge level.

Can you post a couple more vids of yourself? They, along with quotes such as the one above, go a long way with solidifying your image as a well spoken sophisticated individual

For the low limit player a good income which supplements my pension is much easier to earn online then live.Smaller blinds which gives you more power to see flops plus Rakeback.My Ozi pension is only $450 per week and I earn about $300 per week online.Not huge but $15,000 aweek allows me to go to Vegas each year and play live at the biggest fish casino in the world.The Golden Nugget.Good fortune to the poker world Ozi Ray

$15,000 a year.Not as dumb as I sound.Ozi Ray

Is it just me or has this thread attracted some weird people?

You're very right, for me ucantcme is the worst by far, lets see who thinks who is the weirdest, Im sure I'll get some votes

1. samoleus pandered to Gabe's every whim regardless of how unreasonable and Gabe stalled until he finally backed out. He first backed out because he could not find a suitable escrow, but he is refusing him to play because samoleus insulted him. and to him, anyone who would sit across the felt from someone who has insulted them has no integrity.

another pro wanted to play him, but obviously he wanted an escrow if he was going to fly to mississippi. Gabe thought that this was ludicrous and claimed that if anyone wants to play him they need to trust that he will play. He will not use an escrow, even though he has already recommended one earlier in the thread who he said was his friend.

2. Gabe is serious

just want to say your posts ITT have been by far the most rational, articulate and thorough

Yeah bro, I bet winning 5k in a 2/5 session is common. Must be pretty nice to make 7 figures playing live 2/5 games huh? Man, I can only imagine how awesome that must be, mad props.

wait a sec. While the Mr. Roboto vid was entertaining, it sure as hell wasn't sophisticated.

Correct, now apply this piece of information back to my post and you should start to sense the underlying subtext

If anyone in this thread should know how those games play I wouldve expected it to be you. You know that the game usually plays with a straddle. You also know that most nights the 2/5 game is the biggest game in the room. You also know the idiots that come thru those doors. Does someone win 5k everynight? Probably not. Is it uncommon for someone to win 5k in the game? Not at all and thats all I was saying.

7 figures? Mad props? Nowhere in either of my post did I say I routinely win 5k. Hell, nowhere in my post did I even mention that I play in the damn game. Nice reading comprehension skills.

I was just trying to contribute to the thread by shedding some light on how deep the games play since it appeared to me some people were unaware. I havent played in all that many places but the times I have (venetian/bellagio in particular) there was no comparision in the 2/5 games. This you know as well. If calling me a ****** makes you feel better about yourself then carry on but I dont appreciate it.

I agree with about 2% of what Gabe has said in this thread. And that 2% is how childish you people act. If you disagree thats fine. How about letting me know what you disagree with and we can have a discussion about it like 2 adults? Is that to much to ask for around here? Nice life skills.

One time on a new thread revealing the information OP wants to disclose "at some point"?
