Dn Playing Some 100/200 Nl


Recommended Posts

ummmmmmm......."online you often need to clearly define your hand and your opponent's hand" ?
I re-read what I wrote and am not sure what the ummmmm is about? Online more so than live, you need to play hands faster on the flop for example in order to make good reads later in the hand. Playing live, it's much less necessary to make these "information" type bets if you have a good feel for the game.

I'm on your side DN, there's a few truly great live players who are doing well online......all the rest not so. Hopefully you can grow to be one of those winners and I hope you win huge amounts of mobneys.In the meantime I feel you'd best buckle your seatbelt and hang on for the ride....but more seriously I hope you find the time to play online with 100% focus and achieve your goals and be a winning online player in both NL and PLO. Confidence is key but beware with these fellows, at the very least they are playing more hands per day/week etc and more in tune if you will. GL. I'll be railing when possible and hope to see great results.Jimp.s. hopefully you can get some higher mixed games or 2-7 going on Stars, in those I'm 100% confident you'll be even money at worst but likely +EV.

There is a lot of hype surrounding the online players and I think I may have bought into it a little bit myself. A lot of them are excellent players I'm sure, but I genuinely believe after talking to several, and playing with them from time to time, that there is stuff I know that most of them don't. Compared to playing live poker, I absolutely suck online. Having said that, I believe I'd easily be a winning online player playing 100-200 NL. My "horrible" online play is still better than most, especially heads up. Oh and Bob? My worst game is NOT limit hold'em! Are you insane? Just because you used to call me down with Ace hi and win all the time doesn't mean I suck. I lost to Patrick in a realitively small sample playing limit hold'em because A) he was very good, B) he was more comfortable online, and C) He ran insanely lucky! I've never lost money online playing NLH. Actually, the only real money I've lost online has been in PLO and limit hold'em vs a great player in Patrick Antonius. This 100-200 NL game, from what I've seen, isn't very tough at all. As for my perception of ADZ, I played 250 hands vs him and his strategy heads up vs me was horrendous. Maybe he is good and doesn't match up well with me, or maybe he was "feeling me out," but either way, if he plays that way against on a regular basis without completely changing his approach he has no chance whatsoever.
Per Steve7Stud thread, you're not allowed to say, or even think about, C.

Okay, what I should have said is that Limit Holdem isn't your best game and that you play Omaha 8, Stud 8, Triple Draw, NL Holdem and PL Holdem better :club: You still remember those calls I see B) PS: Balloon Guy was Antonius' coach and he taught him what the lucky cards were going to be.
Abusing Mod privledges is a bannable offense in my book. Let's keep the secrets secret.You don't see me talking about the thing with the thing at that place while you were you know???

You're an idiot.Not for your opinions about DN's ability - that's all just opinion & no better/worse than mine or anyone else's....but your other comments...You're simply an idiot....or perhaps an ass hole......are they mutually exclusive?Some of you guys embarrass yourselves when you come Trolling out of Off Topic.
I agree.DrawingDead always comes across as some smartass know it all. He's just annoying in general.

I'm not saying guys like Durr and SBRugby are over rated by any means. I have no clue, I haven't played with them. What I am saying, though, is that I think a lot of the hype surrounding the new generation online player being so far above and beyond the likes of Phil Ivey, Ted Forrest, etc. has been greatly exaggerated.
Wasn't Brian on HSP? Also, why didn't you play him at the big game when he was a the Bellagio?

So I didnt watch the game... I got a few questions and comments though..1.- From what I've noticed (at least on full tilt) the games get pretty juicy if one big live pro is in the box, on fulltilt this would be true more with guys like Matusow, Edog and a couple others. This is not to say that these guys are bad players (not saying they're great either I haven't played cash with them enough to know) but generally the games get softer because either A) lower limit players get in to take a shot B.) Rich dudes/guys that have had big tourney scores online get in the game. Was that the case at all for these games? Or was it just a bunch of big limit regulars? 2.- I agree with DN's perception of online players, for the most part at least. Hoosier and I have actually had looong debates about this. In general I think the way most online players view poker is flawed, BUT I think they _have_ to view the game like that to be winning online players..... most of them have insanely overblown egos and think that the fact that they've played so many more hands than any live pro makes them more experienced. The last part is true to a certain extent, but in reality a winning player that has played 2 million hands at 10/20 isnt automatically better or more experienced than the guy who's beat the 50/100 game for 100k hands. I think a lot of online players just view the game as a math game where every play is +EV or -EV and thats it, a lot of them throw most phsycology out the window and think physical tells are some sort of myth, this is why a lot of them get crushed live, even by mediocre players. That said, I do believe most of the guys that will sit in a game with Daniel have an edge over him online for sure, simply because they understand online nl cash games a lot better, Personally, I wouldnt want to sit at a table with Menlo and these guys unless its live.. either way I dont think daniel would be a big loser in that game, in the long run, he might even be a break even or slight winner. And like hoosier said, once he understands online better he'll definately be a threat. I think that if he starts playing cash games online it would be great for stars...If I get some money on stars by winning a tourney or a transfer I might play some time and get schooled by DN :club:.it took me like 2 hrs to write this cuz I was playing :D.

Do higher level players intstant message each other during most games? Seems like they can collude pretty easy if they do.Something about this seems kind of untrustworthy, these two talking off the table. Is it just me?
