Trying to win a seat to it, yeah.

Just the typical "oh my god you're gonna be broke and lose everything!" responses. Dumbest question regarding poker is something like "if i give you x can you make it 2x?".

Hai thac. Burning question. How much of LML did you have?!

Most coaches use Skype + a screen-sharing program to talk over the net, there's really not too much in the way of live coaching.

lol

25%

Nice score!!

Thanks for the well btw, great read and I'd ask a better question but they're taken.

Can you explain something more about this?...

About the 3rd video...I'd really like to see you playing tough...Maybe 6 tabling...I vote for this...

Skype is a program that makes internet phone calls from one computer to another so you can talk via mic for free. There are programs like TeamViewer that let an observer log on to your desktop so they can see everything that you see. Talk on Skype about certain hands and watch via TeamViewer. There's no traveling to other peoples' houses to do sweats (although some coaches have live seminars).

As for the video, I don't know if I could keep up with 6-tabling but I could try.

The problem is that i don't live in your country...That's why i asked it...

I 4 table but i'm really interested to see how plays someone that has an elevate number of tables opened so if you can please do it...If not you're still my favourite mod...

hai thac

Just been enjoying reading through your well. Yesterday I was perusing the old archives and remember seeing a thread about you @ nl25. You've certainly come very far so respekt for that.

I know I should take this great opportunity to ask a question but always struggle to think of one.

OK Your on BTN (blinds don't 3bet alot) and a single loose 40/10 limper limps that will showdown 2ndpair and peel OOP any piece and and has (fold cbet <40%) what's your general isolating range and more importantly plan on missed flops/2nd pair?

Is 2nd pair for the fish, should I ever call 2 streets or more with it?

BTW when you become HSNL balla and visit Euroland if u want I'll buy u a drink(s) of real English ale and you can see our doggie (she'll have her own bed though)

1. Can you please explain why all theese stars at High Stakes Poker (like Elezra, Hunsen, Negreanu, Farha, Ivey ...) play so **** superloose preflop in cash game? Why they are limping a lot?

2. How are you doing in HU?

3. When do you think cold call > raise/fold PF? (can you name at least 1 situation).

What do you reckon you could rack up $100 to given what you know now and 12 months of time?

Hrm, I have one situation that crops up a lot, I could (and will) pull some hh - and I think it might be relevant so what you said earlier about b/f > c/c and was curious what your thoughts were.

Assume 100bb stacks, unknown villain but as a default will likely peel flop with pps sometimes on various boards, might fire turn, don't know how often they'll fire river.

let's say I raise JJ utg, get called in MP, or CO. Flop comes pretty dry but with an over, so like Q73r, I cbet, 2/3 - 3/4 pot since I know they can peel with a 7 or PP as well as a Q, and they can definitely have PPs/SCs etc. Turn blanks, hero should......?

I kind of feel like if I c/c I turn my hand face up and it sucks if they bet the river (or should I just assume they'll fire turn with worse but not turn and river? Probably seems like a credible assumption for unknown villains...), if I c/r I don't see what worse calls/better folds apart from maybe a really weak Q, or if they herocall - and both of those are if they don't decide to check them. If I b/c obv that's kind of ******ed since w/o a read I'm crushed. If I b/f though I'm kind of stuck on the river for what to do, since they're probably not calling 3 streets without a Q. This situation does seem like one where every option kind of sucks. I think fees book recommended b/f, since in his view villain could have worse PP etc. I just don't like this spot much and I don't really want to check the flop OOP.

What do you think would be a good default? Why? Like I guess vs passive villains who'll let me get to showdown I could check, and vs aggressive ones b/f kind of avoids having to play a marginal hand for pot control OOP, but vs unknowns who I suspect might be capable of floating the turn but IDK about the river, I'm kind of stuck for what to do.

you think i should post more here?

Do you think any fly wemmens are gonna reply to me on myspace?

crap i just broke the .14 posts a day

Omg munkey! I completely forgot about your posts, I'm editing you into the "best uNL posters" question when I get the chance. You've helped so much with your old epic posts.

Hm, my general isolating range against someone that you characterized would be any hand that can flop top pair... so like less of the 43s hands and more something like QTo or T8o. If he were to fold to cbet 70%+ then you can open it up to anything. If we miss flops I generally just wanna check it down since he's peeling pretty lightly and we're just not gonna get him to fold much, but I'll be firing ace high flops and flops that are scary for him.

I'd need a read to call more than one street with second pair, generally not going crazy with it readless. I'd need to know that he fires two barrels pretty light and have a ton of aggressive history with him.

1. They play more loose because they can hand-read really well and they're good in marginal spots, or they're just sick degens like Farha. They're just really confident in their postflop game so they can play more preflop. It's kind of the same mindset as someone like CTS I think.. just really confident in their postflop game, so they're really loose preflop.

2. I don't play HU that often, if at all. I really like 6max, mostly because it's easier to find fish in my experience.

3. Coldcalling a raise or limping? Coldcalling is fine with a hand that plays well in position or that plays well multiway when you're OOP. Hands like 87s on the button against a MP opener is much better to call than to 3bet or fold. A hand like 88 is a hand to just call when there's been a raise and a call, because it plays too well in a single-raised pot as opposed to a 3bet pot where you are up against tougher ranges and generally less opponents.

You're asking if I have $100 what can I run it into in a year? I have no idea lol, but I'm sure I could be at nl100 in a few months with good work ethic (lol ya right, I don't work).

No reads and no stats and your first BTN on the table; you open XY on the BTN to 3.5x. A 100 bb eff BB calls and it's HU to the flop. You c-bet 6bb into a T53 board and he raises to 20bb. What is your plan and why with:

a.) QT
b.) AT
c.) AT
d.) KK
e.) 64

I think you basically nailed it with your last paragraph. If they're not gonna bet with their second pair hands, you can check and either fold if they bet or bet the river if they check. Against a more aggressive person, you can check/call and check/call river if it's a decent card, but like you said that turns your hand face up, but against someone that floats a decent amount, it's not a bad alternative. Bet/folding is fine but you're just not gonna get three streets of value out of a worse hand and if you bet the turn he's just gonna fold a decent amount so I don't mind checking in this spot.

Yeah, post more here, why the heck not!?

As long as you use picture #1 and not 2 or 3, they'll obv reply to you, you're pretty sexy as a gangster iyam.

This thread is worth increasing your posts/day.

plz come to Macau anyway imo. Cash games will be so good you'll be able to pay for flights + hotel within an hour or two probably

With any tp hand, probably call and re-eval because it sucks to get it in when we're either slightly ahead or way behind and we don't give them an opportunity to bluff. Probably calling most turn cards though and shoving any turn that gives us two pair or trips.

With KK, I mostly just wanna get it in because the combos of Tx are more since we don't have one and there's a good chance that if they have a draw, they only have one overcard if that (getting it in vs QdJd is godly), so we don't mind getting it in. I'd just shove probably because it looks the most like a draw.

Probably just folding 64s, if it was rainbow I don't mind a call, but it sucks to hit the 7d and lose to diamonds.

So, in conclusion:

a-c) call and re-eval
d) jam
e) fold

when you win a macau seat can I scam a free room off you

Thanks babe xoxoxoxo

I've read most of the thread, so I'm pretty sure this hasn't been asked... what is your most prized procession? (and possibly why, if it isn't clear?)

Also thanks for everything you do around here.

I mean I guess I'd have to say my computer since I wouldn't be able to afford anything else if I didn't have it.
