I was under the impression that MP was looking at his phone every hand at some point between looking at his cards and the graphics showing up so he could see theirs before making a decision. I watched 3 sessions, July 18th, 30th 2018 and the last one he played in 2019. I just didn't see this behavior consistently. He was insta folding a bunch and then just not looking at his phone at all a bunch.
My question is this: how often was he definitively looking at his lap in a hand, like 10%, 50% etc? Is it everyones assumption that he was looking at his phone every hand, like me or do people believe he was doing it selectively?
He absolutely is doing it selectively. I've watched the first 3 sessions and you can see his technique evolving and getting better but even in the 3rd video he looks down sporadically. And it's not always preflop or on the flop he's looking.
A lot of the easy preflop decisions, he just plays. And if he flops a strong hand, he rarely looks - he just plays the hand out.
If he limps after a straddle, he's nearly always looking if the phone's in his lap. Bomb pots where he flops something, he's nearly always looking as well.
Also I believe it's been talked about that there's likely a 15 second delay for the cards to show up on his phone. So if he's in EP, he's just going to have to act without looking. This also would encourage him to limp more, which he often does after the straddle, to encourage multiway action and slow the game down.
