B,B, or V?: lilholdem interview!
 

We don't give this lilholdem guy enough credit. He seems to be a fantastic player, and articulates himself well. In my humble opinion the best players in the world are "feel" players. Godspeed to this young man the rest of his poker career:

Interview with one of the best online poker players in the world

Some highlights:

People raise to 250, what do you do?

"You have to find out where you're at... I call with 2-3 suited before I call with K-Q suited."

Understandable, 2-3 can make the wheel!

Does lilholdem think that players on the 'forums' are pompous?

"No I don't understand I don't even know what that word means, pompous."

Understandable- I'm actually pretty sure I got that word wrong on my vocabulary test... in the 7th grade.

On why he hasn't played many live events:

"See I was on probation until last November."

Understandable; definitely a worthy reason to play infrequently live.

On his lack of explaining things:

"I don't know how to laborate too well."

I'm pretty sure Laborate is a pharmaceutical company.

Re: B,B, or V?: lilholdem interview!
 

lilholdem quote that wasn't in the interview, but should have been:

Where did you learn how to play poker?

"In prison there's a lot of incentive to win- I actually started off losing a little, but I learned from my mistakes the hard way."

Re: B,B, or V?: lilholdem interview!

Re: B,B, or V?: lilholdem interview!
 

i refuse to believe this guy is good at poker. there is no doubt he will be broke in a few years, esp if he moves to cash games.

i feel bad for the nit that is interviewing him, he probably cried to his mom after

Re: B,B, or V?: lilholdem interview!
 

In the interview, it was stated that he dropped out of school in the 7th grade. Then, he apparently was in some trouble and spent time in jail. Then, he discovered poker, and cleaned up his act, so to speak.

Well, if that is true, then it makes sense that he is not well educated. And, just b/c he isn't, doesn't make him an idiot (just maybe not a good interviewee).

Obviously, the interview was comical from a poker content perspective. I mean, he is not good at articulating how he plays and whatnot. But, he obviously must play good. And, maybe, in some weird way, he can see things in poker that educated people cannot. I mean, this kid has a whole other realm of life experiences that none of us pretty boy college types could ever really understand.

He's sort of like that amazing guitar player you know that can't read a note of music, and has no idea about music theory, other than the names of a few basic chords. But, he can somehow rip out any type of music better than anyone you've seen. Somehow, he just has it. And, "it" is something that the general poker population wishes they had.

It is frustrating and difficult to admit that after all of the time you have put into the game, this uneducated idiot with a grill will always be better than you.

hmmm no wonder this guy didn't call me this week. lilholdem rules though.

The interviewer has no idea what hes talking about
"Do you think people tend to overplay big pocket pairs?!"

Sadly, it seems like LH doesn't know what hes talking about either.

Re: B,B, or V?: lilholdem interview!
 

Chad sounds fine, it's the retreading of the same stupid questions about poker that become unbearable.

I turned it off about four minutes in, but I can assume he didn't ask Chad about anything interesting like what he was in jail for, right?

Re: B,B, or V?: lilholdem interview!
 

yeah you know like...it's like....you know what I'm saying

no, nothing interesting at all. nothing about why he dropped out, the jail, or the grills. just more questions that the interviewer should have known would not get a good response, as previous ones hadn't. btw, i can't understand how people like online more than live. ugh, live is just so much more... fun. to me, anyways.
