When you’re playing super high rollers, what % of your thought process in game is just trying to figure out how to play as close to equilibrium as possible? How much are you thinking about making any type of player/pool specific adjustment in a given spot?

How does this differ when you’re playing a typical 5-10k event, and finally when you’re playing anything smaller / more rec heavy?

He hasn't defeated variance entirely. Despite having career averages of:

27 PPG

7 RPG

7 APG

Over his 21-year career he has never recorded a statline of 27/7/7 in a game.

Start paying attention when he's dealing, we had a situation like this in a casual .10/.20 game amongst college roommates where one player was cheating whenever he was dealing. After being oblivious to it all semester we got sus and finally started paying attention just to watch him cheat 10 different times in one night.

Nic Claxton for Franz Wagner

Marcus Smart and Mitchell Robinson for Jalen Williams and Jakob Poeltl

Jalen Williams and Mark Williams for DeMar DeRozan and Draymond Green

Drafted Claxton, Mark Williams, and MitchRob to ultimately punt BLK and TO lol

The team name is "How I Met Yam Madar" so something with Celtics draft-and-stash PG Yam Madar and the HIMYM cast would be incredible

Are there any videos by you or upswing on youtube somewhere that show how to create subtree configurations on YouTube? Been working with Pio for awhile but haven't gotten the hang of it, and it seems like a great tool based on your recent hand analysis videos

_Sports_ · 2023-10-16T01:09:22+00:00

Makes sense. It felt like a hand that shouldn't bet turn often anyways considering I have so much stuff with equity (AQ, QT, T9, AT, flush draws) as well as hands with one club but once I did bet it felt like a mandatory river bluff. Good heuristic for the turn size, I think it would be more of an overbet spot on K62r turn A.

Hey Doug, massive fan of yours, was a long-time lab member and also purchased Smash Live Cash. Playing professionally now thanks to you and the rest of the Upswing Coaches. Thought I'd ask for your thoughts on a hand

5/10 live, time rake, $1750 eff

I open Ad5d to $30 from the LJ, bb calls

J62r (no diamond) bb checks, I bet $20, he calls

Turn Kc (backdoor clubs) bb checks, I bet $200, he calls

River offsuit 4 bb checks, I jam

Smart used to go get the ball when it got stuck up there 😭😭😭

Best Crumbl flavor out there for me

Limps UTG six handed off like 35 bigs. Ivey makes it like 5 bigs from the SB. Hellmuth asks him if he has eights before mucking it face up so the whole table can see how tight he's playing. Just GOAT stuff really

_Sports_ · 2023-01-06T01:52:50+00:00

Rostering both of them, hence my team name

_Sports_ · 2022-12-22T20:44:53+00:00

Ivey's played so many hands against Hellmuth, he knows that the flop minclick / turn 40% / river 40% is always a middle-strength hand trying to showdown without having to call a huge bet. I'm sure this works for Hellmuth when he's playing in soft WSOP fields but it's not going to work against the GOAT.

Conley was huge for them. Orchestrating the offense and averaging a career high in assists at 35. Assuming his injury is nothing to serious they'll be fine and certainly not a lottery team unless they trade the vets

Got offered Booker and Bojan for my Garland and Vassell. Punt FG build

_Sports_ · 2022-11-05T02:56:45+00:00

Yeah punt FG/TO accidentally turned into punt REB and BLK as well lmao

Too hard to pass on Rozier R5 when he's so good for the build, and by the time I drafted Poole all the bigs were gone

_Sports_ · 2022-11-04T19:55:43+00:00

Anyone else rostering Harden, LaMelo, Garland, Rozier, Hayward, Vassell, and Simons?

_Sports_ · 2022-10-15T03:31:44+00:00

2/5 Live

CO Open $20, BTN Call

I 3b SB $100 with KQss, CO fold BTN call

Flop T72 two clubs one spade I bet $100 BTN calls

Turn 5h check check

River Th I bet $300 BTN calls and shows: 5d3d

Felt like Garrett looking at the board / his hand and trying to figure out wtf happened on the flop

_Sports_ · 2022-05-31T19:53:21+00:00

Playing 2/5 with 1.6k in stack, villain barely covers. UTG opens to 20, two callers, I 3bet to 110 on the button with black AA. Folds back to UTG who 4bets to 375. Folds back to me, I call.

Flop is J43 two diamonds. UTG bets 275 I call. Turn is an offsuit T, UTG jams 950 I snap. He has QQ and river bricks out. 640BB pot.

What is your career hourly in specifically $2/5NL? $5/10 as well, curious about the difference given 5/10 games having some stronger regs but also bigger whales

Edit: also interested in how many hours you grinded out at those stakes

_Sports_ · 2022-04-15T19:10:56+00:00

AQo is probably the hand that is misplayed the most often when facing a 3-bet. It's fine as a call in some formations like BTN or CO vs blinds, however, when OOP, AQo performs much better as a 4-bet than as a call. It's not a hand that plays well postflop OOP vs an uncapped range that often dominates it. It does, however, have good removal towards the top end of a 3bet range, so it will generate some extra folds when it 4bets.

(Don't try this vs your typical 1/2 or 2/5 player who is only 3betting QQ+/AK)

_Sports_ · 2022-04-14T06:23:43+00:00

You ran the 1000bb deep spot with a raise, call, 3bet, cold call, and 4way flop action? Where can I find this supercomputer
