"pros" possess sick post flop skills.....the good ones.

my brother went to Vegas a couple months back and didnt realize brandon cantu was sitting two spots to his right. (cantu was bankrolling a friend for the night and slumming at the 1/2 NL tables.)

point is: my brother tangled with him....lost....but, had fleeced his friend earlier that night. so, they traded stories about what they did to each other and why.

you would be AMAZED at the thought process that cantu went through. automatic, almost subconscious 3rd level stuff about what my brother was doing and how the board affected his ranges. cantu basically stacked off very light against my brother's aggression and knew he was letting my brother spew it right off.

a $250 lesson my brother wont soon forget.

grinders open as many tables as they can to maximize value. pros profit by actually playing poker. (not that grinders are bad, i just dont think they could compete in the "pro's" environment.....live & w/o HUDs)
