any questions

Gabe- what do you think of that 44 hand we played today- I honestly cant figure out if its good or bad given history (QJ hand) and my image isnt too wild but idk...

meh nvm just thought in detail more about what ur raising and calling ranges are on that flop and pushing is friggin terrible idk what i was thinking...

it got me learning about poker but i dont think i learned anything specific from it that i wouldnt learn from starting at any other type

Gabe said he didnt mind posting his cell number here so if you have a question ship it to him here.......832-758-4959

Yea, Gabe moved to TX?

Don't forget, some of us live in that area code. Wink

[censored] you

ha ha ha.

How do you high stakes players move money around post UIGEA?

checks, bank wires, help of friends

What do you think is the biggest wrong perception among low stakes players about high stakes?

How much are you bluffing pure air if ever and what scenarios?

boxers or briefs?

what are perceptions of low stakes players? i forget what it was like

i bluff pure air alot when in smallish pots. like utg raises, i call BB with 68s, HU flop is 45T with a backdoor draw, check call flop, check check blank turn, bet half pot riv -fold

also i 3 barrel when i think they will fold with pure air enough

I find that I'm bleeding chips out of the BB in 3/6+ where alot of the btn/co stealers aren't total idiots. Can you say something smart about blind defense?

i've got that problem too halvsame especially just calling them.

i have another question...do you study regulars in PT?
i sorta assume you do, but can you give any examples of stuff you look for? I think I need to start doing this.

Gabe, what type of flops are you c/r'ing and with what type of hands?

Here's a common spot. The BTN opens and you call with 89s. The flop come 942. Is this a flop you c/r or a flop you like to lead?

I rarely if ever c/r. What are the benefits of c/r'ing? Would you agree that getting to see more turns b/c of the threat is one of them?

normally id fold 89s to just a button raise

i wouldnt c/r a pair there though. also, that board isnt scary so i dont think i would c/r bluff it either. if board was like 567 two tone, thats a great board to c/r with any hand you call with (even KQ type hands). if board was 9 high with 89s i probably lead and check call 50 50

when you started out moving up the stakes, how many tables were you able to effectively play at one time?

you said earlier

the analytical thinking comes AFTER you play a session. like when u are sitting around bored or right before u fall asleep is when you think about that shit.

i played 4/5 tables when i played $100nl and just moved up slowly from there. i dont remember specifics

What would be the number one thing you would tell $100NL players to work on for making that first big jump to $200NL?

Did you use pokerstove or any other programs to help when analyzing PT at anytime, ala: Townsends video on CR, to learn about equity's?

Did you ever spend a little bit of your BR while grinding to enjoy the fruits or was it strictly targeting the next level?

I'm just tryign out the move from sng/mtts to short handed ring, so excuse the noobishness of questions.

How do I prevent a hand like JJ from turning into air?

If I'm holding AA, should I be re-re-raising, or should I just call? What about QQ?

Limping/calling/raising with PPs - any advice?

Can you give an example of notes and abbreviations you use when noting players to develop reads? In other words, notes specific to what actions and how you abbrv to save space? 3bet tendencies, cbet, amounts bet, etc.
Maybe a cut and pasted example of a random player.
