IMO EB is just ranting on his blog. He is focused on rakeback and anytime away from mass tables is losing money in his opinion.

EB, why are you still grinding the micro’s? You have a huge bank roll. Why don’t you 2-3 table the $100 games, and get a coach? You can develop some new lines, learn how to read people better, and you can apply that to your live game. Charlestown poker tables are going live in a few months.

Pokerstove says that he only has 42% equity against QQ+, AK. So how much money has to be in the pot to make the bet +EV? If there is 28 in the pot, EB has 40, and villian has 40. Would there have to be $60 in the pot + the 40 from the villian?

I think the only mistake was not going all in on the flop.

EB! Have you done the math, from the original. I am curious? It might be closer then most people think? I could do it but due to the fact I specialize in 6 max I am unfamiliar at what we would estimate the villains ranges for open shoving in a FR game. Once we come w/ a close and accurate range for our villain open shoving here, we could see how correct/incorrect the fold was.

I played on 50-200nl as well and the difference is game selection, the actual play is the same. Go play some lower stakes and you’ll clearly see that it is in fact all regs battling for 1 fish. Don’t you think EB would already be playing nl200 if the games were filled with people who stack off with 2 7 off suit in deep stacked pots

FW…you told me to open the full tilt client and see for myself how tough the games are?? LOL FYI, online poker is how i make a living….playing on fulltilt poker and pokerstars. Please explain to me how for the past 18 months, i have paid the rent, bought a new car, eat at nice restaurants on a weekly basis, etc etc etc if the game is unbeatable? I also play at a higher limit than EB, so the 50nl game is QUITE a bit easier to beat than 100nl or 200nl.

I feel like i get dumber everytime i read people saying how hard the games are and how the only way to beat the game is just to cooler regs more than they cooler you. I hate to break it to you, but anything under 200nl is NOT 7 regs sitting around a table waiting to get the 1 fishes monies. If thats what you think, than you are probably also a fish.

Gary, two questions:

1) “Do you think EB is going to recognize what a genius you are and ask you to be his best buddy?”

whats wrong with that, ive been trying to have eb ask me that for years.

2) whats VPIP mean?

and one comment:

1) everyone is overanalyzing poker with 4bet, vpip, flat call, cbet, bb’s,floating, blah blah blah. bottom line, no 2 villains play the same, so inevitably, a right play in one spot is the wrong play in the same spot with a different villain. villain is unknown variable notwithstanding statistics can reduce variance of predictability, so poker has no math guarantees unlike a game named blackjack.

F#*% Les . . . is your life soo pitiful that you have nothing better to do than troll this board, pathetically trying to flame people with opinions other than your own?

All you really succeed in doing is showing everyone else what a loser fanboy you are. What are you trying to prove? Do you think EB is going to recognize what a genius you are and ask you to be his best buddy?

Seriously? VPIP? Are we all supposed to be impressed by this?

The purpose of this board is to post OPINIONS. It’s not to compensate for your lack of social skills in the real world by trying to make yourself feel better by posting junior high level flames.

The reason poker isn’t a completely ’solved’ game is the human factor. Period. With the razor thin variation online, it becomes even more important to be able to exploit the human factor. If EB wants to improve (IMO) focusing less on the human factor and more on the formulaic response to a set of known variables won’t do it.

If that was the case, he could just build a computer program and program it how to respond in every situation. It comes down to what his goal is . . . improving the variance in his favor enough to be a profitable online player . . . or becoming a better poker player.

10-15 multi-tabling with a program to show villain stats or even hyper-tabling the small stakes tables with no stat program may eventually be profitable over the long long grind . . . but it will not make anyone a better poker player.

Les . . . I thought you said you were leaving the site a while back. What happened? Why don’t you do us all a favor and either focus on just posting your opinion . . . or find some other board with juvenile flamers like yourself who can sit around and talk about how clever they are for their inane posts.

Edit: I guess I should read my original post before responding.

The point about flatting 4 bets with AA,
was I would expect a Reg to flat 4 bets with AA more then Fish.
I wouldn’t expect a reg to open shove a flop w/ an overbet, this is something a fish would do.

Not that People don’t flat 4 bets with AA.

Regardless I don’t play deep very often, and I never play full ring. So i will not dispute w/ you that you shouldn’t go w/your read.

Btw: I like that your playing deep, this is much more difficult requires more skill! This should def give you an edge, in the long run!
