Are you telling me that you're one of those guys that specifically shows up for Aces? Really? [/ QUOTE ] I work nights. If you were going to play in the daytime, what day would you show up on?

Re: Bob T. is in the well.
[ QUOTE ]
What are the biggest BB downswings you have had at a couple limits? How did you feel about them? [/ QUOTE ] 150 online 5-10, and 200 in live 6-12. The funny thing about the live one, is that it didn't matter where I played, and it only affected the one limit. I was winning at 8-16 and 10-20 at the same time. But I lost at Canterbury. I lost at the Mirage. I lost on a cruise ship. It might explain why I like playing the 8-16 at CP a lot more than the 6-12. [ QUOTE ] What do you think your VPIP is in your live and online FR games? [/ QUOTE ] About 20-22. Maybe a little higher in live games, because they are usually so passive preflop. [ QUOTE ] WITHEG recommends default open-raising from the button with a certain 41% of hands (22+, A2s+, A3o+, K2s+, K9o+, Q5s+, Q9o+, J7s+, J9o+, T8s+, T8o+, 97s+, 98o+, 86s+, 75s+, 65s+) in full to 3 handed games. What do you think of this? [/ QUOTE ] I'm a steal raise monkey. The only hand on that list that I might not, is A3o+. I hate one card poker, when my opponents are likely to put me on my exact hand. It also depends on who the blinds are, and if I have tight enough blinds, I might raise even lighter than those requirements. It even gets down to any two cards against some blinds. [ QUOTE ] Beyond standard continuation betting, how often do you 'autobet' with any two cards? Do you have any favourite situations to do this? [/ QUOTE ] Every once in a while, you get a 'perfect' opponent. I can think of one live player, who plays LAGTARD preflop, and then plays like a 4-day-old kitten postflop. If he raised preflop, and I could get it headsup, and he checked postflop, I would bet any two cards. [ QUOTE ] Earlier in this thread you mentioned Jim Brier amongst posters here. I think I've got some books by him. Was he a 2plus2 poster years ago? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, a long time ago, he was a regular small stakes poster. [ QUOTE ] Have you read Mathematics of Poker? If so, what did you think of it? Did it improve your game? [/ QUOTE ] Um, I've started it. And it is at the top of the list of books that I want to continue, but it isn't light reading. [ QUOTE ] Who is your favourite intellectual figure of all time? [/ QUOTE ] Descartes. [ QUOTE ] What is your favourite non-sport television program? [/ QUOTE ] 60 Seconds to Disaster. I hope that several years from now, they still do it, and they analyze the 35W bridge collapse. [ QUOTE ] If you could be any other person in the world, who would it be? [/ QUOTE ] This is a really tough question. I am kind of happy being me. Maybe, I would be me, twenty years old, and try to avoid some of the pitfalls that I didn't the first time around.

Re: Bob T. is in the well.
great well bob!
Heres another question for you: I read that your plan was to make 200BB at each level before moving up. So far in my career i've done it at 500 BB/level. Do you think this is too conservative?

[/ QUOTE ] I think 500 is fine for online games. I think 200 might be a little aggressive for live games, but 300 might be about the right number.

Re: Bob T. is in the well.

What is your attitude towards card counters? [/ QUOTE ] My personal attitude, which in no way is reflected by the upper management where I work is: - Probably 9 out of 10 people who are trying to count cards, are either ineffective, or cost themselves more money through their efforts. - Most of the countermeasures that casinos use, probably cost the casinos more money, than if they used no countermeasures, and only paid attention to the most aggressive card counters. - the return on your investment for card counting is so small, and your volatility so large, that if you have the discipline to be successful as a card counter, you probably could make a lot more money doing something else, like playing poker for instance. - The only exception to any of the above, might be team play, or other forms of back counting, where you could get a much larger edge than you can by counting and playing alone.

What is your attitude towards card counters? [/ QUOTE ] Oh, and here is my favorite card counting story. A guy is wearing a suit, got glasses, pocket protector, and playing third base on a $5 table. He is concentrating on the cards, like it is a life and death. If you ever wanted to stereotype a card counter, this is the guy. He is spreading 1-4 on a $5 table, and I count a shoe that he plays, and he seems pretty accurate. But, as long as he is betting at this level, we got no real risk, and he's from out of town, and seems like a nice guy. Anyway, the count is positive, and he has a sixteen against a dealer ten. He obviously thinks for a second, like he is trying to remember what to do here, and stays (the correct play). The dealer turns over a 6, and hits it with a 5 to make 21. The other guy on the table blows up, and starts ranting, and finishes it with 'What are you, some kind of rocket scientist?' The counter guy, reaches into his pocket, and pulls out his business card from JPL, which has his name, and title - Rocket Scientist.

Sorry, but this rocket scientist seems to be very stupid, at least in gambling. Thanks for your answer, Bob, even if you are my enemy [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
