Gabe, if online goes away would you go to Vegas/AC/LA/Canada?

It seems like you play as many tables as you can at whatever stakes you are playing at, can you talk about that in comparison to the snippet I saw somewhere about "Find the guys on 12 tables and outplay them on 2-3"?

i doubt i would move some where. but i dont know.

yea i could play 4 tables and outplay everyone, but the hourly rate would be so low. its alllll about the hourly rate and besides, i think im getting better and better at outplaying people on more tables.

How long did it take for you to move from low-stakes (<1k br) to where you're at now? Whats your longest breakeven/losing stretch (in hands)? What's the quickest, most effective way of getting better at poker and moving up?

january 06 i had a 1k BR, roughly

ive had a 100k hand breakeven stretch

spend all your time learning and playing. take shots when you are feeling good and stop playing when you recognize youre not up to the best.

For instance, I can win a solid rate at 100NL-200NL but when I look at 600NL hands and read the thinking involved it honestly kinda blows my mind sometimes. I don't think I could survive well at that level.

no, i dont think anyone can do it, but i would say anyone who takes the time to find a poker message board and post a thousand things probably has "it"

just stick to it. realize that there are more factors that go into decisions than you know right now, and figure out what they are.

I understand what you are saying, poker will certainly experience some bumps due to US pressure but I personally believe that european markets will eventually make up for the disproportion of sharks/fish playing from the US market.

In response to the "link?" question - ePassport is gaining popularity, and there was a thread about YouTeller a while back that sounded promising... If there are poker rooms that are willing to accept US players, I do not see why business persons would not make the same sacrafices to reap the insane $$$ benifets of the US market from the e-wallet side of things.

I don't want to hijack Gabe's thread, but just making these statements

Quote:

is at best meaningless and at worst will lead people into the same complacent mindset we had before the bill. You may not remember, but before the bill passed people would make similar statements about how there was OBV no chance it would pass, and people who suggested otherwise were ridiculed. If we had listened, maybe we wouldn't be here. Convention wisdom =! sure thing.

Back to Gabe -

When (if?) you watch High Stakes Poker, do you think:

"Man, I could kill this game"

"Hey, I play just like XXXXXXX"

"MATASOW HU FOR BRS!!!"

"Meh, online is juicier"

"Why don't they show 12 tables at once?

What are some of the adjustments MTTers must make in order for them to be successful at ring? Why, in your opinion, are MTTers not able to adjust, but ring players can make the jump to tourneys?

If someone is lagging it up and calling threebets OOP with a wide range should you be threebetting more or less? Try to respond in depth because obv there are a lot of variables.

one word to describe your poker game?
one quote or something somebody said or a post that you can look back to and think 'that really changed my perception on how to play'
was it easy to adapt from MTT's to ring games (from when i was a newb i always remember watching your mtt posts/reads and thinking 'wtf does this guy know that i dont?! '

heh. I'll let this get back on topic, but I take some joy in my first ever succesful hijack of a thread... anyway, I'm sure some of my optimisim is rooted in the hope I will be able to be as succesful at poker someday as gabe is now.

A poker related question for gabe:

Have you read NL HE Theory and Practice by Slansky and Miller? And if so, what "level"do most high stake players think on...? Is there really a way to tell ?

ive probably only seen about 2 hours worth of the show, but i dont see why people are saying how the game is so soft. maybe i haven't seen enough of it. i guess the huge pots i've seen weren't played that bad or something.

tourney players are so used to playing with shallow stacks that they make huge mistakes when they get to 100bbs. mtt players have to deal with short effective stacks all the time when people buyin short.

eep tough one, especially since i haven't really decided myself. if i respect them then i will just play like normal with one or two light reraises every now and then, but in general i try to not mix it up with someone good. if i think they are a shitty lag i'll start 3 betting them alot and try to get them to start spewing stacks to me.

if stacks are deep and i have position i'll 3 bet more vs anyone, good or bad.

feel free to ask more questions abuot this, i dont feel like writing some essay now but dont mind answering questions.

i dont quit when im playing bad enough. i TRY to, but i dont find myself doing it because i usually convince myself im just running bad and im "due."

there probably should be a good answer here but i just cant think of it

-fun

-i cant think of any one in particular that did, but i just saw this one a few months ago and i really like it:

"only pot odds, pot/fold equity, and hand ranges matter. if a hand range is in someway exploitable, exploit it. "

-i was from the rippy school of mtts so i already had that aggresion factor going so it wasn't that hard. the biggest thing was trying to stop spewing so much in situations where i thought i could move people off hands (this was $50nl mind you). like when an ace came i would always raise their 2nd barrel, or if a flush card came i would check raise allin. dumb shit like that got me in trouble early.

what exactly are the differences between short handed play and fullring? I always hear that there are a lot more edges to push at 6max, could you go into what exactly these edges are, and why they exist?

why cant I beat the softest games in existence?

the people who play full ring are used to playing really tight and nitty, so -you cant play the same as you would in a short handed game. (like folding TPTK is standard in so many full ring hands but not nearly as much short handed).

-my guess is that you dont really know the reasons you do things, you just know you are supposed to do thing most of the time so you do it all the time. that probably doesnt make sense but heres an example.

once we were talking about a hand where there were some limpers and the button raised, and the hero just called with AQs in the blinds. you said something like "isnt that a standard reraise v a button raise??"

well yea, if they were the first one in the pot its a standard reraise because their range is so wide. but there range isn't so wide when they are raising behind early position limpers.

also, if the button is raising with a wide range to isolate the limpers because they are fish, you should reraise because its just like a button raise (wide range of hands raising), right???? no, because you want to play pots with the fish, and reraising will drive thme out in this spot.

started a few months after i was 18. i had only played poker a few times but had seen people talking about it in different online forums, then i found this place.

i think i lost $150. then someone from FTR realized that i had potential and staked me in some low limit games.

after i had a terrible day at 25/50, i vowed to play some 10 20 until i got back on track. so next day i played some 10/20, then i saw a juicy 25/50 game and jumped in. i played like an idiot and lost 10k. that loss is not significant in that game but i just felt stupid for taking a shot back to 25/50 when i wasnt even playing good.

Gabe- Just browsing msnl and I found a lot of hands where tags did like c/c flop lead turn lead river type lines after being the pfr.

I almost never change initiative more than once during hand- like i might go lead flop lead turn c/r river repping a DB or weak top pair type hand etc etc.

How often do you change initiative during a hand? (basically do you often find yourself say check calling mid pair or tp on a drawy board and leading the turn??)

I feel like this gives a lot of info about my hand as I usually dont want to stack off with mid or TP for 100BB. (usually)

i saw somewhere you played BldswtTrs and other top 25/50 ppl hu. how come? was it to learn, or you had an edge..or a combo?
if it was to learn, was it worth sacrificing the game selection for what u learned?
just curious since i might try this out more. btw cool thread.

nah it makes perfect sense. I feel like this a lot when I think about my game, kinda a hopeless feeling. I know dont know everythign there is to know, obviously not anywhere close, yet I feel like Im playing to the best of my knowledge. But I think the way Ive approached learning is by over applying "standard" plays, if that makes sense. So now, AQ+ and TT+ is a 3bet hand. When really I should look at some(all?) of that range as a potential 3bet hand, not take all the variables into account and then decide.

Ill revisit this thread when Im not drunk tommorow, good night.

this is an awesome thread.

-what are you going to school for?

-Do you see yourself using your degree, or has the money you've made from poker opened other avenues that you would like to pursue?

-how many hours per week do you spend playing poker?

i saw somewhere you played BldswtTrs and other top 25/50 ppl hu. how come? was it to learn, or you had an edge..or a combo?
if it was to learn, was it worth sacrificing the game selection for what u learned?
just curious since i might try this out more. btw cool thread.

-i felt i was playing really good poker that week and i saw him sitting so i played. maybe i learned some stuff too, i dont know. him and Booosted J were the only people i've played for a long time HU where I probably didn't have an edge.

favorite lyrics from Gang Starr's 'Moment of truth'?

i like these 2 lines about running bad:
"Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near
Don't fear things get severe for everybody everywhere"

but these are my fav prob:
"Another fake jack I slay with my spectac' rap display
Styles, smooth but rugged -- you can't push or shove it
You dig it and you dug it cause like money you love it"

this is an awesome thread.

-what are you going to school for?

-Do you see yourself using your degree, or has the money you've made from poker opened other avenues that you would like to pursue?

-how many hours per week do you spend playing poker?

-yea its pretty awesome

-you mean why or what am i studying? im here because i feel bad for my parents paying all this money and it would piss them off so much if i didnt get a degree. im studying computer science though. when i first came here i knew more than almost everyone about the subject because i learned about it on my own because i thought it was so interesting and i was sure i was getting a CS job, but then i met poker.

-no, i hope i dont have to ever fill out a resume. poker has not only given me money where i can do other stuff, but its got me thinking and talking to other people about ways to make big money without grinding a job.

--in the past week i've played for 24 hours, which is way more than usual because im probably too focused on winning all this money back. usually i play half that in a week.

i´ve found myself lately outthinking myself, trying to rep something noone cares about (see here http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/forum/poker-52741.htm)

how much does adjusting your thinking level to your opponents matter?

if so, how do you adjust? what are patterns/tells you look for to figure out, on which level villian thinks?

if in doubt, do you rate them as better or worse as they might be?
