This why you will never find a game you can beat for 40-80BB/100


If you found a reserve of oil on your land would you just get a bucket and enjoy free oil for a while..

..or would you build a well and start and oil company?

Wtf are you talking about? Writing narcissistic poker books has nothing to do with starting an oil company, even figuratively.

If you want to continue making a fool out of yourself, please explain how me not writing a poker book leads me to not finding a game I can beat for 40-80BB/100 (let's ignore the fact that I said 40-80bb/hour).

scroll down for old 2p2 magazine articles, rights reverted to author. there was no interest in a book at the time.

Not being able to think outside the box. Not being able to think on a grander, exponential level.

Being content to try and survive, not Thrive.

Staying pigeonholed in a tiny us vs them mentality, unwilling to get up early and do the work others are not doing.

Being petty and divisive instead of generous and inclusive.

This mentality will keep you from finding opportunities other may have missed.

But I'm just a fool in love, so please disregard

Makes sense! Will disregard.

It may interest the reader that I played a session with this book's author several years ago. My experience may shed light on the value of his books.

I was quiet and played tight, he certainly wouldn't remember me.

But he was a real piece of work, and I remember him well. Bought in obnoxiously deep, covered everyone by a factor of at least four. This was in a Colorado room that had a $100 max bet at the time, so just stupid vanity serving no strategic purpose. Made sure he was contantly the center of attention. Spent hours tapping the glass so hard you'd expect the tank to shatter. By the time I left, the slot players across the casino could've told you who this guy was and what his book was about.

This may be why his super-juicy games dried up. What a clown.

Just for the record: I've been running insanely well lately.



How many hands per hour do you get in a normal live hi/lo game? Under 25 I'd guess? So my sample of a bit under 4k hands is over 150 hours of live play. Now some fool might think it's enough to draw some conclusions, but obviously it's not. It's easy to run good for thousands of hands. I have no delusions of being a 60bb/100 winner.

meh 60 bb/100 in a live game doesnt seem that far fetched for a hi/lo veteran like yourself

never written a book or had any desire to, how do u explain these last 8 months?



wtf are you talking about, poker is entirely an us vs them endeavor. how much molly did you take before you posted this?

i'll save this community some money by letting everyone in on a secret - any person writing a book about omaha hi lo in this century is a breakeven (or worse) bum reg who thinks he can make some side money to offset his losses by explaining basic concepts that you'd learn on your own after like 2 weeks of online play. if you're on this subforum, it's unlikely that you're a complete drooler in your games, so these books would be of no value to you.

Oh certainly, if villains are weak enough the win rate can go through the roof. Live games where someone decent wins 60bb/HOUR (should be roughly 250bb/100) can exist, but it's not because Hero is playing so insanely well, it's because the weakest players in the pool are donating money. Also my main point was that getting a decent sample size playing live takes very long, and you don't have access to all-in adjusted numbers.

I am talking about Reality. It is NOT entirely an US vs Them endeavor. To see the larger pictures, the whole ecosystem as connected, and let go of outdated black and white mentality. Quantum physics. Wake up. Poker is a microcosm of the universe as a whole. Treat it as such and you will experience success with ease and grace. Or keep fighting with yourself.

I post here to share my success and love. To shed some light in some darkness. To bring friendship and support into a place full of competition and accusation. I just like to share my favorite things, and poker makes me happy. It seems like poker brings alot of stress and anxiety and whatnot to alot of people's lives. It can be holistic.

Why are you posting?

this dude gotta be a trip at parties

Hey Greg, just wanna say I laughed my ass off when you gave the situation where you would fold the nuts in PLO8 and you said something about "don't like it, go back to holdem"

I recently purchased all three and had interesting interactions with the author.
Not a fan.
I'm keeping book one because I put some notes in but I'll give away two and three if anyone is interested.
Never really flipped through either, brand new condition.

The guy wrote a book about a game that is rarely played in most casinos/card rooms with some basic concepts on how to beat the game. Anyone looking to broaden their poker knowledge to other games should find it of interest. Not sure why so many came here to totally flame him (many who apparently haven't even read the books).

Did you read it or all of them? I tried (read some 100 pages or something), but very soon it became apparent it's not about poker, at least in the way I see poker. It's about how insanely good the author is in this game, when in reality he is just playing against the weakest imaginable opposition. My poker knowledge was not broadened, but I'm not saying someone can't learn something from such books. Highly recommended if you enjoy witnessing someone bathe in delusional narcissism. I have no reason to flame him, I am just giving my honest opinion.

While I get some of your points, there are good tips in these books to get people thinking about how to approach these games and strategy in my opinion. I got some good stuff out of them when I began playing these games.

I was thinking about buying the 3 books, but since author said the books are not for people who play online, I am not going to buy them. I guess I saved myself some money.

youre results are very impressive. Any chance i can pick your brain and try and learn a bit from you? I havent had any longterm success mostly up and down but really trying to become a consistent winner and take the next step.
