he's definitely shove happy now. What's that 6 shoves in the last 12 hands?
That one announcer fears Max on the big blind.

Maybe, I really don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if he rolls over a couple of kings. Though, I would be surprised if I read that hand correctly.Quote:

Way to be, Max Steinberg. Way to be.
What an awesome start to the day. Congrats Max and it was fun railing last night!!!
Thanks Everyone! Going to sleep now :o)
wow - very nice!!!
Congrats!
My favourite part was when the one announcer made a super awkward comment about how good looking he thought your were, then it just hung out there for like like a good 5 seconds with no one saying anything.
I liked when they spent 5 minutes discussing the 20BB A5o call, and I thought based on the 'insights' they'd provided up to this point, neither of these monkies are even close to qualified to criticize that call.
Also yes, max was easily the most handsome at the FT.
<awkwardSilence>
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
wtf gabe sighting. just takes a steinberg bracelet to get him out.Quote:

I was right and was happy with my call.Quote:

:shipit: crucial! WTG MAX!
incredible, congrats max
obv the announcers were playing the second game.
giving scrubs the confidence to come down to vegas and tangle with the pros.
amazing job max, grats
I'm listening to you on the podcast right now, railing tryba obv :)
Nice one! How are you figuring guys for random spaz vs acting fast because they picked up a hand? Best I've been able to do with reads like that is polarize ranges and not discount the top unless I see Puffer Fish body language to go with it or the line makes no sense or something like that.Quote:

You made me addicted to Akinator. But who is the most popular person?
That is awesome, well done sir
Very nice work sir.
Fuck yeah! Nice one.
I basically was thinking about why he shoved so quickly because it was out of character for him, and I realized that it was spot where he may be planning to shove wide before I raised the button since I was so active. I think I was right. Most of the time I can't get reads like that though, and also it's just really played dependent. If and older player shoved really fast there I would expect to see something very strong.Quote:

3) Any interesting stories?
1) No idea. I'm all ears for suggestions.Quote:

3) I was down to 8bb at one point and got it in with TT vs KK and hit quads. Then I got it in with ATo vs Faraz Jaka's AJ and won hitting trips. You never know what can happen.
At the FT, when you tripled that canadian guy with the white shirt on the board that was something like 678Qx, did you have air? It looked like a decent spot to fire 3.
Yep had air. I bluffed a lot at the final table, you can safely assume almost every big hand I played was a bluff except for one or two.Quote:

Are the bracelets worth much? I'd be tempted to just wear it all the time, but I'd get nervous if it was worth a lot.
Gratz!
I don't look at my cards til the action is to me, when I slide them back and forth I have yet to take a peak myself.Quote:

Congratulations Massimo!
NopeQuote:
