This ought to numb your brain. Great tournament theory

I honestly think it was a HUGE mistake for him to tell people that. Using that stretegy, IMO, gives him an edge even over most professionals. Now that one can see the method to his madness, he lost a bit of that edge. Players (even pros) would often misjudge him as a total donkey because of the way he plays, now (assuming they read it), they can see what he's doing and come up with some sort of counter strategy.

I think there are parts of his game you could counter and other parts you can't.

The main part of how he plays is with the idea of taking -ev plays in one had because of the future gain he will receive in subsequent hands. Thus the calling with Q3, J2, etc. That's not really something people could do anything about.

But overall, why would he talk about his play? It's a good point.

But he doesn't mind giving chips to the players to his immediate right because he'll be first in line to get those chips back. I may have misunderstood what exactly he was saying, but I've been using this for the last few days and it's been working incredibly well.

is his name on party "gigabet______" ??

if it is i've played 5/10 cash games with him and was not impressed.

Well. I read it all now.. read it again.. and still would need to read it about 100 more times to understand at least 80% of what he is saying.. althought.. we could discuss about it here for a while...

If you ask me. ubergenious or insane maniac.

BTW ... KK where did you read this about his theory?.. can you post the link?

Ok, it took me forever, but as of today I THINK I get exactly what he is talking about. I'm certain that he is genius, and not insane... although I don't know if I would want to put it into effect at lower stakes, or with quick blind structures... I can see a strategy like that working very well at a big event, though.
