Sorry Al, my email spam filtered you're response :( I'm no guru on live games any more, its been too long. Jumping on a UK forum is prolly the best bet.

Cool, well I'm also from the glorius town of Oldham. I'm study maths at Cambridge btw. Anyways I'm new to the poker scene, started playing a couple of months ago. Almost crossed the $1000 milestone (from $50) on stars, which is nice..
I was just wondering if there are any good live tournament venues near us?
Oh and have they come to a conclusion about the supercasino yet? (I never get to see the news during term) Just outside man city football club... mate it will almost be a freeroll :)

Andy & Bluff,

I agree with you both. Its just strange that the top pros havent thought of it as a competitive advantage, with maybe Spirit Rock as the exception. Bluff, I dont think it is bad game selection. For the uber big stakes, there is almost no game selection. And they're too proud and dumb to move down.

2006-12-22T16:45:00.000Z

Hi Dave,

Regarding your last paragraph and the comments above by AndyW, while you are correct that in a bad game the better rolled player will have a bigger chance of surviving, the simple fact is that it is a bad game and thus represents an error in game selection to sit in it, unless you have reason to believe a big donator will come along.

And please don't threaten us with not posting anymore just because Rolf has you exerting your energies elsewhere :).

Best wishes to you and your family and the regular readers here for the Christmas season and new year.

2006-12-22T09:39:00.000Z

I'm sure I've read someone, it might even have been Sklansky, say that the edge of the better players in The Big Game (TM) was about 0.1 BB/Hr when they were playing limit, and so even the winners needed some humungous theoretical bankroll that probably only Ivey actually has.

As for Danny, Greenstein's comment that his real strength is extracting the max from bad players rings very true. As BG says, Danny can mostly only do this in tournaments. Except when Hellmuth shows up on HSP :-)

HFH to you too !

Andy.

Gerg,

MBK is milkybarkid.

Kevin,

I'm sorry I missed your comment. This is hardly a high volume blog and its far from the centre of my world of late. And I almost never engage in private correspondence with commenters, especially around hands and stuff. Your best bet is to post it on 2+2.

cheers

It was a long time ago now Pete. I liked his betting patterns. I liked his bet sizing. As to whether he was tight or not, well I presume we dont see *all* the hands. He certainly got more action then he seemed justified in receiving. I guess I thought he would be the usual tourney fuckwit but it was clear he could play. I especially liked the calling down of Matusows stack.

2006-12-16T23:18:00.000Z

You are a far better NL player than I am, Dave, but, of the High Stakes Poker episodes I have seen, Phil Laak struck me as something of a tight ABC player. Maybe I'm just "in his zone", but I thought that most of the bets he made represented his hand rather too clearly. Or is "no tricksiness" good? Maybe it is.

I mean, he wasn't as tight-assed as some of the "wait for Matusow or Hellmuth or Hansen to blow up" (welcome, Antonio) but I wondered about some of Phil's plays. One that I recall involved an AQ OOP, where he seemed to get himself into an awful lot of unnecessary trouble.

I also thought that he was a bit guilty of seeing shadows, but, since that's one of my major faults, maybe I shouldn't criticize.

I hope that most NL players don't watch this, because it shows in many cases how conservative the top level players are when it comes to cash games. Note, for example, the number of check-downs on turn and river.
