after i answered all these i took a break and went skateboarding. ive picked that up in the last 2 years. forgot to mention that in my hobbies. i can ollie /brag

[ESS123]

Lol at your opinion on durrrr and galfond as the best NL players. Neither is very good by today's standards.

In 2011, Phil personally told me that he knew he was nowhere near the top of the game at NL. As competition has improved and Phil had played almost no NL since then, I can only imagine that he still thinks he is nowhere near the best

[rong]

Good cat strangling answers. Good ama in general.

Do you think the Macau games are more profitable than Vegas and is that your reason for going there or is it just that it seems to be the place to be these days and you get a bit of adventure thrown in?

LOL its not an opinion . and what are today's standards? online hu? if you disagree with "durrrr in any NL holdem ring game in the world he will have the biggest edge" id like you to be specific. and you have to discount what phil says because hes modest. also sauce is awesome. isildur is good. there are a handful of other super sharp internet kids but none are on the highest level.

We should have an AMA for this guy. He obviously has gained a ton of insight in the high stakes world by studying NVG threads daily vs gabe's actual high stakes poker brain/experience.

there are always average macau games going, almost around the clock, and they have a higher potential to land a fish than in vegas. also its cool just because its exotic and its the place to be. ive heard pokerstars is trying to reopen their pokerroom there (they had one and closed it down) which will be interesting

What do you mean by a fish at these kinds of stakes? Someone who's good but simply just not as good as the likes of yourself or do toy mean like 35/4 droolers you can find online at 10nl?

[gabe]

every type of fish. from completely clueless guy that loses his buyin within 10 hands to internet kid who has huge live tells to chinese businessman that knows he will lose a million HKD a year and hes ok with that, as long as it goes slow. recently they banned cigarettes in the wynn poker room, which is where i play, and its hurt the number of fish dropins. they cant just buyin with their baccarat money and chainsmoke all day which is bad for the poker economy (but better for the wynn if these guys stick to the baccarat tables)

I'm twoshae.

I personally play high stakes HU and 6m cash and have played 25/50+ since 2009. I think I've developed some insight over the years.

I would argue that dwan would be the worst player in 10/20 6m "reg games" which run daily on stars. I also think he's a fish at HUNL, and apparently the Germans (Raulgonzalez/donthnrmepls) agree since they play him but won't play kanu/sauce/Ike/etc.

I have also personally played Phil HU 50/100. He is very rusty. This was also clear to anyone who watched him in the Stars superstar showdown against jungleman.

I, unfortunately, have not had the pleasure of playing durrrr in HUNL, but looking at the stats of the durrrr challenge, it is very clear that he has massive leaks (winning < 40% of pots, calling 4bets oop with 62o 100bb deep).

[Pascal]

Does Phil even play all that much anymore, or does he only play to make videos? The fact he's created a new training site suggests to me he's looking at gaining extra income aside from poker

[donkbee]

i think singapore has some strict/conservative laws on things so personally i would avoid there unless it was for a short period. its hard to go wrong in australia unless you are in the middle of nowhere. malta i know nothing about. seems like it might be too euro for a girl like u, but like i said i know nothing

what does "too euro" mean? also, what does "girl like u" mean?

Anywhere else you'd suggest for relocation? I haven't been anywhere overseas except the UK. The only must-haves for where I go is English speakers, online poker, and decent Internet.

Have a lot of the friends you made while playing poker left the game, or have most of them been able to make it as the game has changed the last five years?

Have you always worked hard to win at poker? Did you have to work harder once the games got tougher, or was it relatively easy to keep up with the elite?

Do you think that the games will continue to get tougher as time goes on? Or are you like some that think legalization in the US will make things softer again in the future?

ill love you forever.

[Chelle]

on new years eve in vegas when the cosmopolitan opened, jayz had a private concert with coldplay where they performed and did a ball drop. tickets werent public, you had to be a connected casino person to get the $1200 ticket. i had a friend who got them (i think he actually picked them up from phil ivey's dad). the show was absolutely sick, kanye popped up out of nowhere, then john mayer ripped guitar during 99 problems, then beyonce did some halo action. really incredible show. then at the end everyone left and it was just me and maybe 7 of my friends just dancing in front of the stage while a dj played music. all the fancy vegas guests were clearing out, except maybe 20 men and women. one of the suited men was standing by himself on the edge of the dance floor, watching our crew dance and laugh it up. it was channing tatum by himself. he was holding a bottle of dom in one hand an a glass in the other hand. i went up to him 'hey man you think jayz' is coming back out?? channing says nahh i dont think so man. i say 'damn' and go back to dancing. the end

If you were to pick three different dishes that you had to eat for the rest of your life, what three different dishes would it be?

Do you have a "favorite" band/singer?

Do you think that you have to have two views in order to make different life decisions? A logical and emotional side. Emotional covers intuition, not overly dramatic oh my gosh melt-down emotions, that's when logical reasoning would come into play. Okay, basically, do you think that you have to view certain things from both logical and emotional standpoint?

What's a book that you really, really love?

"Favorite" beach you've ever been to?

How hard is it moving long distances?

What's your opinion on American government and how they go about doing things?

well im not gonna change your mind. i hope you get to play him and rely on all those stats you got =p. we'll leave the debating to nvg

Does Phil even play all that much anymore, or does he only play to make videos? The fact he's created a new training site suggests to me he's looking at gaining extra income aside from poker

he's been doing training sites for years. he was part of bluefire until he quit and sued the owner. training sites are ez money if you got a big name

lol

mexico? thailand? thailand seems way better than singapore. australia isnt cheap.

really the only friends that i have that stopped poker are from ftr. 1 friend from the ship it holla ballas stopped pokering full time and has a nice job working for his dads biz. lots of people are branching out but for the most part they play poker

there have been times where i didnt work hard and it cost me. you gotta stay ahead of the game in poker when there arent fish everywhere.

i dont think the games will get tougher. its almost impossible. theres so much information about poker out there its hard for a newbie to find whats good. of course people can pay for training sites but even then there are tons of videomakers who arent that special. and rarely newbs will use training sites to conquer online poker. legalization will definitely be good for things.. but i cant predict the future.

[bigred]

hehe about as cute as clarence the elpaca. i dont know why but that post made me LOL more than once (7 years ago--- damn http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...ad-118249.html)

definitely more money to be made with your own site i think, he's got some big names and some good lads on there. just interesting timing, i've read a few things about him playing less poker and focusing more on recording videos etc

What's your opinion on American government and how they go about doing things?

Am I asking too many questions?

-dishes: chicken crab legs and bacon, with peppers onions and pineapple. match up any 3 with any 3

-i dont really have a favorite band or singer but i like good music. in my most current itunes library this song has the highest playcount: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIIu_HW0dWQ
if i had to pick a band i would say arcade fire but i dont like choosing favorites. mood dictates

-not at all. i just try to do the smartest thing, or if its not that important, the most fun thing. the only emotion i play to is trying to keep my happiness up. whats the point of emotions? emotions are artifacts. intuition is from prior conditioning (which may or may not be rationale), thats your brain trying to be smart.

-fiction: dark tower series by stephen king
non fiction: power of now by eckhart tolle
try reading or getting the audiobook for power of now and it will answer alot of the previous question

-favorite beach is byron beach in australia. if u zoom in to the eastern most point of australia, you will see a nice little beach nearby. we rented a house there for a month and it was great times.

-moving isnt hard at all. i dont buy lots of shit i dont need so i can relocate anywhere. ive bought some tvs/office things n stuff like that but i usually just give them away to friends when i move. i may regret that eventually. i like "living" all over in semi temporary places--its perfect when u have friends all over the world

-if the government can track everything we do then we should be able to track the government. if there was 100% transparency i wouldnt get so paranoid sometimes. who knows whats really going on

-honestly its called ask me anything (singular) not ask me everything! but since i answered other peoples' multiple questions i couldnt stop answering these

also i about covered everything but dont mind answering questions anytime this week. if i dont get any strategy questions i might just fire off at a few hands in the shnl forum

[gabe]

We were so much cooler then...what happened?

lol man its weird. i look back at some old posts i made and cant imagine what i was thinking. but it was fun. somehow i got this many posts on ftr but dont regret any of them (or i regret none that i remember).

[bigred]

What did you think of the end of dark tower without revealing any spoilers?

I think books 2.5-5 were absolutely some of the best reading experiences I've ever had. Somewhat related, did you ever play Fallout 3? Very similar experiences in terms of me falling in love with a world/setting.

[gabe]

i thought it was just fine. that series is more about the journey but i could see why not everyone was thrilled. i listened to the audiobooks that had an epic voice actor. i loved it for all the long drives. i played fallout 3 but there was too much to do. im over singe player games like that where it seems like theres no ending. i beat bioshock infinite last month and enjoyed it, but felt dumb for not just renting it. boc i guess

[Stacks]

What advice would you give to a mediocre small stakes online reg (in the US) for improving? Spots to analyze that I might not have looked at? Things that you think small stakes players are likely doing worse than midstakes, etc?

[rpm]

a friend of mine who plays for a living live spends a good 4-5 months each year between vegas and macau. the way he has described macau seems insane. basically nothing to do except gamble or drink, hours upon hours spent waiting for a game, dropping large amounts (obv standard for mid-high stakes deep live play but the hands/hr makes it hurt) only to have the game break and have to return to the hotel to dwell on a 6-figure-loss while waiting for a text when the next decent game starts up. he also mentioned having a lot of trouble electronically transferring his money so he could access it in macau. this is obviously a description of when things are going far worse than average for one particular person, but i cant imagine things of this nature are out of the ordinary for someone who travels/gambles for a living. so..

what do you do to keep sane/fill in time in these situations? how pertinent do you think healthy habits of body/mind really are to a grinder?

[ESS123]

good thread btw, hadn't realized you were playing big in Macau. Can you talk a little bit about what games/stakes you've played and the roles backers have played in that?

Also would like to hear about the logistics of playing in Macau-- where do you live while there, and what are your approximate monthly costs?

I don't understand where you think durrrr is going to have an edge when he clearly has explicit leaks good players don't have. And I'm not just talking about playing 5% too few hands from the bb; I'm talking about huge mistakes like calling 4bets with 62o.

I'm actually not sure if you're trolling at this point since pretty much everyone that plays high stakes online thinks durrrr is a fish at NL.

[rong]

Can you talk more about playing in macau, well live in general actually, and how you keep track of the people at the table and how you decide what strategy to play against them.

To be a bit clearer, online its easy because of sample size and huds. But if you're at a table with say 5 other players and playing 20hph it seems incredibly difficult to spot your opponents strategy for you to then counter it. Do you just start by playing a very balanced strategy and wait until you figure out what they're doing or is it more based on tells?

Feel free to expand in any direction you feel is appropriate here as I'm not sure how to best phrase this question.

gabe this was an awesome ama, thanks for taking the time. def still welcome to keep the thread alive as long as you want of course!

[gabe]

What advice would you give to a mediocre small stakes online reg (in the US) for improving? Spots to analyze that I might not have looked at? Things that you think small stakes players are likely doing worse than midstakes, etc?

advice would be to play wherever you can and watch training videos of awesome players.

everyone should try to get their winnings without showdown up. find spots people fold on the river and then figure out how to get there (with a hand u want to bluff with) from the flop. i know this is pretty vague but its something to think about

small stakes players probably try to make all their money by getting paid off with their good hands. in regfests you arent going to make much like this

[gabe]

what do you do to keep sane/fill in time in these situations? how pertinent do you think healthy habits of body/mind really are to a grinder?

keeping sane isnt hard for me.. if theres no games im either sleeping, chillin with friends (gambling or video games), weekly pickup soccer games, playing darts at the bar, on the internet, eating something delicious, ive even gone on some dates in macau. ive made plenty of friends at the poker tables where we hang outside of the tables.

healthy body/mind habits really should be essential to everyone everywhere. everyone's quality of life would go up if they didnt eat shit food and could clear their mind. this is probably more important for poker players since your job performance directly corresponds to your brain

I'm actually not sure if you're trolling at this point since pretty much everyone that plays high stakes online thinks durrrr is a fish at NL.

7.7HKD = 1 USD. ive played plenty of nl and plo at 50/100 and 100/200. ive played a fair amount of 200/500 plo and some 3/600 nl. the plo games are more likely to run with a straddle on them (only utg though). i have had different backers in different situations. its pretty common in the huge games for pros to swap pieces.

for the most part people are open with it (i think everyone should just be public with it all the time.... its so common, why not?). once there was a medium sized pot in a 1/200 plo game where the turn was 3 way, a guy bet, his friend called and the third guy got out of the way. on the river the guy checked, his friend bet the minimum and guy folded. i called them out, saying what they did was very bad for the game even if they werent colluding, and to declare if they were splitting action. im 100% they were chopping given everything i saw, but that wasnt a problem. the problem was that hand looks like they colluded in some way. anyway dude told me he wanted to slap the shit out of me, not to accuse him of cheating, that we should go outside and he would handle me bla bla bla. unfortunately a poker room manager im buds with had just got off his shift 10min before. if he was there the guy would have been 86ed.

those 2 buds were only in town for a week so it would have been hilarious justice if one couldnt play at the wynn for the rest of his little trip. a couple days after the threatening incident, i played a huuuge pot with this random fish. board was K8688, pot was 120k and fish bet 100k. this was a 1/200 game where i was used to buying in for 20k, so this was a sick spot. i had AAxx, and the bad guy had been allin on the flop so there is a sidepot. fish bets 100k and i tank for 5minutes and fold, knowing that at least ill get to see what fish had because there is a sidepot. so i fold and then the bad guy snap mucks his hand while fish collects the monster pot. he calls violent friend over from the other table and tells him how he just owned me. first time ive felt owned by someone mucking. but maybe he owned himself, like if bad guy had Q high and fish had 9 high... but im pretty sure fish had the 1st or 2nd nuts

there are hotels all around the poker room similiar to vegas prices. also theres the mandarin oriental which is a little nicer, and also 'one central' a bunch of apartments next to the wynn, about 1 minute walk. if you rent short term they gouge you, but if u get long term its comparable to any vegas prices.


and calling a 4b every now and then with a lil 62 isnt a huge mistake if you adjust a few steps ahead. let all those euros pool their money and play big and we'll see what happens...

Feel free to expand in any direction you feel is appropriate here as I'm not sure how to best phrase this question.

i would say its pretty balanced strategy until i see what people are doing wrong. since there are so few hands, usually i see one thing, and it might not even be a mistake, but i will try to punish a person as if it was a mistake. like if i see them showdown a hand that was the absolute bottom of their range, i might think they are looser than they should be and attack them in a similar spot. but maybe they know that hand was the bottom of their range, so they are happy to let me come at them.

theres not too many tells but i like trying to test them out early. of course some people can pick up that youre doing this and try to drop a reverse tell later. spotting someone trying to give you a reverse tell is really satisfying but not easy since theres a low signal:noise ratio in general.

really keeping track of people is second nature. im just sitting around a table, theres not much else to do. watching showdowns and how big pots play out is probably one of the most interesting things to do i guess.

its nice in plo because the whole month its the mostly the same set of players. so i might know not what someone is up to on day 1, but by week 2 i know their whole game, unless theyre an expert

its also a little easier in plo because people play looser, and if you buyin for the minimum (100bb) its not hard to force people to get allin and go to showdown.

early in a session there are lots of unknowns, but that can work for you, because your strategy is unknown. it sucks when you showdown a bad hand early. i love showing down a strong hand then playing like a complete monkey in position since its less likely you have to show down your KT82 or whatever. (first to act shows first if no bet on the river, so when you have air its easier to keep it secret in position)

[gabe]

[bigred]

Gabe, when the guy started talking shit did you say, "Wait...start over"

[gabe]

ha no i was the one that started it so it that wouldnt really fit. i said he was a crazy person for making it violent all of a sudden. i had to stay cool because 1) keep the fish happy 2) i was right and had to prove it (dude was wrong so he got way over defensive) and 3) had to impress the cute dealer

[ESS123]

When you say 300/600 you are talking about HKD?

Assuming 300/600 is HKD, any reason you don't just play online? Can't imagine hourly or happiness is higher with live...

I think sharing action with people also playing in the game is cheating. Even if you don't explicitly collude, the EV calc is totally different every time you have a decision which changes the game. It's unfortunate that this is such common behavior, both in Macau and in big Vegas games :/

[gabe]

yes HKD. there are definitely good reasons to play online but i kinda enjoy live and i dont have to set up anything permanent in a foreign country. also there are reasons that i cant make public

the EV calc is different but its understood you wont factor this in your decisions. of course some people probably do. the 'fish' know about people swapping and they do it too. i agree that in a perfect world it wouldnt happen

[rong]

Great ama gabe. Thanks for taking the time to bother.

Yeah, I'm in Chicago for now. Probably will be here through early fall at least. After that, who knows.

If you come through, be sure to hit me up. This is the place to be in the summer, and this summer is going to be pretty great.

[Micro2Macro]

Hey Gabe, was cool meeting you at that stars meet briefly in Toronto awhile back. questions: - Do you miss home at all?
- What's your diet like?
- Do you lift?
- How often do you fly kites? (If ever)
- Favorite vegetable?
- If space travel happened to take off commercially within the next few decades and you're still around, would you consider going on a year long vacation to wherever is available (moon/mars etc) under the assumption you have a 67% chance of returning alive and the finances weren't an issue?

[Deanglow]

Wait you're in Macau? I was just there last week. Man I run bad.

[a500lbgorilla]

oops your first question reminded me i missed this one

Miss Virginia at all?

no i get back to virginia regularly. whenever i miss virginia i just come back and hang out for a few weeks.

when im working out i have a regimented diet but i havent done that since october. when im traveling/pokering a lot i just dont work out. my schedule over the last 5 years has been work out for 8 months hard, get in peak shape and then get caught up in something in life and let it all go. ive done this 4 times. throughout all this ive got smart about foods though so i rarely eat poison. i try to just eat meat and veggies all the time mostly

when i lived out in the country (age 12-17 https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-...ed=0CDQQ8gEwAA ) i had a kite and flew it for a few days. there was always wind somewhere

favorite veggies in order = pepper. onion. avocado then asparagus

yes id consider it. the other 33% of the time, am i dead or do i just to get to chill in space until i die? obv id consider it more if i was just chillin in space; id bet technology would be sweet enough that id have plenty to do. also if i was an old man and thought i was gonna die anyway before too long, id definitely go space flyin. space is the shit. my degree came with a minor in astronomy so ive been pondering personal space adventures for a while

[gabe]

Wait you're in Macau? I was just there last week. Man I run bad.

were u pokering? howd it go etc.

Best book you've read in the last 3 weeks.

6 months?

5 years?

i havent completed a book in the last 3 weeks. i have been slowly getting through godel, escher, bach since i got it as requested for christmas. i love it but its a fat read. it makes me think and the way i deal with other people's thinking is really influenced by this book. GEB is almost 40 years old but the material is as relevant as ever. i think the book is fascinating. its all about how consciousness is a product of a strange loop of self reference. heres a page that kinda explains it: http://www.ethanhein.com/wp/2011/wha...l-escher-bach/

what the page doesnt mention is how the book relates the people godel, escher and bach to this. very cool stuff

i read nate silver's book 'the signal and the noise' in december. id recommend it to anyone on a poker forum but its not an epic read or anything. i guess it gets a thumbs up because not many books like this are out there. i wasnt fascinated by it or anything because everything it talks about i know a little bit about.

5 years?? shiii. already mentioned dark tower series, song of fire and ice books, reminiscences of stock market operator, the power of now, the big short by michael lewis, end the fed by ron paul, the stand

[gabe]

the thing is if i mention 1 stephen king book, i feel like mentioning all the king books ive read in the past 5 years. most recent 2 were the long walk and blockade billy. both very fun reads

[Pascal]

Big fan of Stephen King books too, he's a genius

Hey Gabe,

I was wondering if you'd comment on if there are feelings of loneliness when you moved to Macau or even now. I always fear if I moved to another country that I'd feel like really isolated from my friends and family in the US and I value a lot of people in my life here. If that makes any sense...

is it any good ?

Yeah, I'm pretty good (it's not really that hard). They are all gone.
