war most likely he folded his way to FT than made a shove with AQo lost to 74s calling his 3bb shove in the BB and than he made a post bitching about a bad beat. He got 6th and brags about how good he is.

Yesterday sucked hardcore, I didn't wake up until like 11 PM, but still managed to make 3 Final Tables all with decent chips. Of course I get [censored] and finished 5, 7th and 7th. I should be running away with TLB right now but whatever.

THAY3R, how do you get the "extended summary statistics" in the db?

Thanks

I was wondering that, too. I use PDB and OPR and usually end up going with OPR since they show overall profit which PDB doesn't (for me anyway). But the down-side is OPR includes satellites and also MTT SNGs.

If you look at HU play at the end of a sng, its pretty easy to see the difference between unexploitable and optimal play. Sklansky even went on a huge rampage one time because some cardplayer author recommended using unexploitable HU strategies when you don't have a read (which is terrible advice, since unexploitable is only best against perfect opponents, of which there are few) and claimed that Harrington had made a mistake. It was quite a thread; lots of sklansky smack talk.

NHFunkii, profiting small amounts by staying in an unexploitable shell into the late game is not enough to keep up with the rising blinds.

umm, your unexploitable strategy changes as the blinds go up... it's not like unexploitable is defined as super tight

[uclabruinz]

umm, never said it did, but, umm, nevermind.

You guys seem to think unexploitable means "Yea, but then I can exploit them by stealing their blinds all the time/run them over" which is a tad funny.

I was wrong in the post I wrote and I don't know why I wrote it because I knew I was wrong as soon as I took a piss afterwards.

FWIW, I think it's going to become much much more important to become unexploitable in the future when poker gets tougher, and I agree that probably my lack of results in tournaments is from me being to stubborn to convert to David Sklansky optimal [censored] play.

But I do understand what it means and what the difference is. Just remember that Shania understands it too, so if you're going to be optimally, know your opponents, etc.

I know you're being sarcastic. I may or may not be able to help you. If you talked poker with me, talked about posflop situations maybe early, then maybe I could help you. Talking poker with me is +EV. Even when I'm wrong, I give tidbits of right information or get people's wheels spinning.

Thayer, just look at your pokerdb? I haven't looked at it, but I get this crazy feeling (I have a 6th sense, obv) that you're betting than -19k? Eh? That true?

Who said anything like that? I said something along the lines of playing unexploitably makes you miss tons of spots where you should be stealing people's blinds all the time/running them over...
