what is so enticing to you about omaha other than the fact that everyone else sucks at it?


[/ QUOTE ]

I can answer that for gobbo you get 4 cards and sometimes 2 flushdraws.

[Yuv]

It's 33% better than pineapple.

[ QUOTE ]
When you turn 21 and win the WSOP, what % do I get for being nice to you while you were still a gobbobaby?

When are you moving out of the gobbocrib already?

Why is it so tempting to write gobbothings?

Can I sustain a 35% roi in the 225s?

If you win the PCA, will you have ONE drink? (That might actually be a decent question. If you win the PCA, how will it change your life? What would you do? I never really figured out from you what purpose money serves for you)

Would you stake Brandi in a sat for anal sex?

[/ QUOTE ]

You wouldn't get a percentage, but I'm way too generous when I have money so I would end up staking you for about 50k worth of tournaments before I realize I probably shouldn't.

Dunno, looking back on how much I say I should, I probably should fairly soon!

I don't know, it's fun though and it's hilarious to see everyone using them.

You are the most gifted SNG player in the world.

See, that's the thing. When I have money, I don't really do anything with it. I'm not happy buying thigs. If you were to ask me if I could get anything in the world, the answer would not be 'a lot of money.' I need to fill my life up with something, and taking out the conflict of a story makes the plot boring. Just give me more interesting characters in the story. That's why I like making good friends.

I think it would be -$ev and -pEV, so I don't think I would.

EDIT: Oh, and please don't smother me.

[IWEARGOGGLES]

Holla @ Gobbo not drinking (just like the goggles).

1) Are you really a brain cancer patient in remission?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really. I just know I have this thing in my head that could kill me.

[ QUOTE ]
2) What did you really think of my game a year ago when we first met?

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought you were way too freaking tight and you were blinding down every single tournament I saw you in. You finally learned how to pushbot and now you're on the fast-track to success. You need to be able to read hands better though.

[ QUOTE ]
3) What do you think some of my biggest leaks are today?

[/ QUOTE ]

See above. Hand reading and probably not playing enough. You can be cranking out 10+ mtt's a day.

[ QUOTE ]
4) Why do I have so much trouble focusing on either MTTs or cash games and end up fluctuating back and forth every few months?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because you see how much better people those around you are getting, especially people you consider your peers, so you want to play everything and get better immediately. I would just stick to one thing and realize that you're not gonna get better right away.

[ QUOTE ]
5) Why do the poker gods hate me so much?

[/ QUOTE ]

Stop doing this. It's self perpetuating.

[ QUOTE ]
6) How many IM conversations are you involved in at any single moment?

[/ QUOTE ]

If I don't put an away up when I go to bed I generally have about 10-15 IM windows open. Right now I have 4 and two of them are blinking.

[ QUOTE ]
7) Do you miss the all night skype sessions with Noah, Adam, Nick and co. as much as I do?

[/ QUOTE ]

The all nighter ones? Meh. I still do skype sweats all the time, so I can keep my title.

[ QUOTE ]
8) How have you won so much lately without needing to create a new gobbo gif?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have photoshop or my gif animator on my new desktop. My laptop's HD got wiped.

[ QUOTE ]
9) When can we expect a new gobbo gif?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not especially soon for reasons above.

[JSchnett]

1. What was your most exciting/important cash for you as a player?
2. Critique my play, I think you are one of the people who know my game the best, where are my holes.
3. Why do you play so passive HU? Why do you always win HU and I always lose HU?
4. If you were going to Outback right now for a free meal what would you get?
5. Are you coming to the Canterbury Fall Classic next year so I can play too?

It was good to meet you when you were in MN, you are a great player and person.

[gobboboy]

[ QUOTE ]
I guess i have to ask something!

[/ QUOTE ]

That is not a question.

[ QUOTE ]
Who is your fav person to talk to on skype?

[/ QUOTE ]

British people are awesome because they have accents. You're even more awesome because you're hilarious when drunk. Winnar.

[ QUOTE ]
If you could take 5 2+2er for a steak, who would it be?

[/ QUOTE ]

You, KneeCo, Ansky, mlagoo and mikeymer.

[ QUOTE ]
If you had to go to drunken party with two 2+2ers , who would it be?

[/ QUOTE ]

You and Tom, because drunken british people are HILARIOUS.

[ QUOTE ]
If you had to take three 2+2ers home for sunday dinner with your mum, who would you take?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sunday dinner with my mom would definitely not be at my home, but it would probably be... Yuv, Randal and you because you're all hilarious in your own ways.

[ QUOTE ]
What do you think of my game!!!?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think if you started playing the bigger tournaments you'd do a lot better and you'd become a very good player, but at the current moment when you're playing all these crappy little tournaments you're not going to improve. This is the shaundeeb syndrome.

[ QUOTE ]
Do you want to swap a % at PCA? (once you trash my game in the previous Q i'll accept that as a no!)

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure, 2%.

[ QUOTE ]
When are you coming to england?

[/ QUOTE ]

February? January will be hell.

[ QUOTE ]
erm.. i had more but i will have to rethink. Did you get me anything for Xmas?! (oh and lacky, your only leak i can think of is not winning 80/20s for PCA seats)

[/ QUOTE ]

I haven't bought you anything for X-mas yet, no. I am sorry. I am very lazy. But now I will! PM me your address.

[ QUOTE ]
What are people's main weaknesses in limit hold'em?

I find myself not making any laydowns (always getting some kind of odds) and betting out in alot of spots on bluffs that never seem to work

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't bluff. There's your problem.

A lot of people's leaks come preflop. I'm not going to explain it here, but there are just lots of things you simply have to do and can't do in LHE in a full ring game preflop like you can do in a NLHE game. Then postflop they either don't call down enough or call down too much and don't get good value on their hands. It's just way too much to explain in one question. It's a completely different game, remember. It'd be like asking me "How do you play 7Stud?" It doesn't work because it's too complex.

[RandALLin]

[ QUOTE ]
Gobbo why does randall have such a crush on you?

Would you date him if he matured a little?

[/ QUOTE ]

Who doesn't have a crush on gobbo? seriously?

I think I'm pretty mature for my age, but I am no timex. To prove how mature I am I will not make a 20/180 burn in response to you.

[gobboboy]

[ QUOTE ]
Gobbo,

Thanks for the help that you have given me.

I believe that my biggest leak is my mid-to-late game/end game where I need to play looser and more aggressive to gain some chips. What can I do to start working on that?

[/ QUOTE ]

You're playing really low stakes for a reason. Go nuts! Start pushing when you think it might be correct. See what works for you. You can get late in those $1 tournaments all the time, so there's no reason to not test out things that work. You're paying to learn, not to win yet. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
