unfluctuation

[Turning Stone Pro]

Angelo can't play limit holdem worth a damn. I have no doubt that if he ever sat with me, dcifer, and scheids in a 4-handed game, freeze-out style, he would be the first one out of chips 90% of the time.

And I'll back up the aforementioned statement with a small wager if necessary.

"I have no doubt that if he ever sat with me, dcifer, and scheids in a 4-handed game, freeze-out style, he would be the first one out of chips 90% of the time."

And the 10% of the time, would that be when somebody was distracted and distressed by a hurricane? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I don't know you three except from your posts here. You're all fine players. If I were the 4th, I'd be out of chips first 90% of the time.

But my money's on Tommy.

And it's not close.

Are you saying your postflop edge figures to be greater when you don't 3-bet preflop

If you look at the title of the post I think he's saying his flucuations are lessened by not 3-betting. Lower flucuations = less tilt. Less tilt = more money etc etc etc

This should not only happen, it should be televised.

Both of these cannot be correct...

This is pretty rediculous, because I dont even think a total fish would be out first 90% of the time.

They could probably make a lot of money charging $100/tape with hole card cams.

"ive seen you show tiny hints of tilt almost all the times we've played together."

Definitely. But that was then. And home games don't count because I forfeit mumness, and plus, if you're in the game, what chance does tiltlessness have? lol

I will always grow more and more tiltless, and if you do the math, this means that I cannot be completely tiltless now, and become more tiltless later. But after I don't know how many consecutive sessions now with hardly a ripple, hard sessions, sometimes long sessions, sometimes against tough opponents on purpose, to push and strengthen myself, I think that "never tilting even a teensie weensie bit" was 99.9% accurate. If I sound giddy about all this, well, I am. I feel like my poker career just started.

Here's a nice line I heard. "Each of us is perfect just as we are, but we can use a little improvement."

this is probably what impresses me most about tommys posts and his play. and its what makes everything he writes so fun to read.

3rd if you want to add deception you can start making plays such as raising in this same spot with a hand like 78s.

I agree. So, why is it wrong to occasionally *not* raise with a premium hand like AK, also for deception (aside from sacrificing the small equity edge)?
