Re: Chip Counts+Seats
 

It seems it's a variation of the System, as she has made out some huge overbets, and seems to love to push with A-x.

Maybe Tiffany read pg. 140 of Sklansky's Tournament Poker for Advanced Players [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

If they mention "The System" on espn, then don't expect to get a half sane low buy-in no limit game for a while. David Sklansky, Thanks.

"The System" works due to fear of being eliminated and wasting your tourney life (all the travel, the huge entry fee etc). In the low limit buy-ins, the fear is not there and renders the system useless for the most part.

and you expect that to stop people from trying?

Williamson Doubles up Against Hachem
 

A-10 v 6-4, she flops trip A's.

Re: Williamson Doubles up Against Hachem
 

I liked Matusow's interview. That's pretty stand up of him to defend Raymer like that, after what went on last year.

Re: Williamson Doubles up Against Hachem
 

for those of us that have not read/memorized every 2+2 book, what is "the system?" i have read through about 2/3 of SSHE...

Re: Williamson Doubles up Against Hachem
 

Tiffany has never folded an ace. What a bitch.

Re: Williamson Doubles up Against Hachem
 

Here is a dirrect link to the MM interview for those of you too lazy to go hunting for it. I thought Mike had a lot of great things to say and he has turned my impression of him as a person around. Definately check it out.

Kanter Busts Howard
 

A-10 v QQ K-J-10-7-Q on the river.

Basically Any pair or Ace/King, Ace/Queen is an all in hand. No matter if there was a bet in front of you or not.

Re: Williamson Doubles up Against Hachem
 

The System is all-in or fold method for playing NLHE tourneys that Sklansky describes in Tournament Poker for Advanced Players. Sklansky devised it for a novice player figuring that was their best chance of surviving for a decent amount of time. Sklansky never intended it to be an optimal way to play NLHE and it only can really work in big buy-in tournaments against old-school tight players (i.e. from the McEvoy school). Try the System in a few low buy-in online tournaments and you'll either be a chip leader or out in 10 minutes.

Re: Kantor v Raymer
 

[ QUOTE ]
The latest Matusow video clip on CP is good. He wonders why the hell Ivey was playing large pots against these players. He ripped Kantor pretty hard for calling the flop against Greg.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I saw that.

The intervies with Raymer are pretty good as well. He describes the action on the big hand much better than any of the sites I have seen.

Basically it goes like this:

Stacks are about 2.2KK and 1.8KK

Blinds 20K/40K w/5K ante

Raymer makes it 100K from MP w/KK and is called by Kanter in the CO with QJs.

Flop is 356. Raymer bets 150K. Kanter "smoothcalls" intending to make a move on the turn.

Turn is the 7h, giving him the flushdraw. Raymer bets 300K, Kanter makes it 800K, Raymer pushes, Kanter calls for what looks to be about 750-800K more so hes getting about 3.5-1 on his call here.

Note that even with all that money in the pot, hes getting well short of what he needs to call (more like 4.5-1), unless hes putting Greg on something like TT which seems pretty hopeful at best.

Re: Williamson Doubles up Against Hachem
 

ah i gotcha, i recall doing that when i first started. my buddy got mad at me and said "dude come on, you gotta play post-flop poker, that's where it's at." so i slowed down on the all-in stuff preflop and now i'm basically the ownerer at poker.

Re: Williamson Doubles up Against Hachem
 

I agree. Mike looks very genuine in that interview when discussing how bad the guy played it against Greg.

At least now maybe its possible to see that MM hates the all-in PF game against anybody, not just when he gets knocked out by it. I don't know. I'm reserving judgment on MM, but he's getting back a lot of ground in my book from last year. Good point he made though about Ivey playing big pots.

Damn, Matusow looks genuinely upset about what happened to Raymer. Hope Greg sees this video at some point.

hmmmmmmm - I know is still early but his stack is now almost half the size at 3.5 ish.

Re: Raymer Crippled
 

aye, he is upset because he hates to see the huge donk "suck out" on raymer. probably a horrible call in retrospect, but hey..THAT'S POKER!
