Poker Video: Misc/Other by Ansky (Micro/Small Stakes)

Great stuff!

I think you mentioned this once but an idea for a future series would be one where you show how to exploit the 24 tabling SNE types at say 200nl or 400nl.
Mixing in some PLO episodes is fine too. (or 2 seperate series even better :-) )

Awesome vid Ansky, could listen to you ramble all day

This is definitely the kind of things I wanted to hear about.

Good stuff.

RE Tilt:

Why it happens? I definitely observe that a lot of people really believe that they're playing as well as they can, or at least certainly outplaying the opposition in their games... but because they don't have a good enough understanding of variance, they feel like all their good work is rendered moot by bad suckouts, or the villain turning up with some random hand they shouldn't have that's better (like a dumb 2 pair that makes no sense in handreading)


The analogy to your accountant, Ansky, would be if the accountant's assistant, who mails off the finished accounts... keeps mailing them to Disneyland instead of the IRS...

5 stars
Very motivating to keep doing my homework.....and not give up.


Question:
Do you believe in the idea that "poker is poker"? ..... How transferable is the knowledge/thinking between stakes?

Awesome rant. So much ambition, aspiration and passion for poker in every word you say. Very motivating!

As for a video idea, you can do something similar to the ever loved video in which you coached gugel.
It would be great to hear you talk about poker very frankly.

very simple yet very good...this just kinda highlights to me what i should be doing is still different to what i am doing!!!

good vid well worth my time watching it

I laughed out loud at your tilt allegory, it's insightful yet hilarious.

Great vid, absolutely one of the best motivating speeches I've seen so far pokerwise. Great series also.

Ansky is one of my poker heros.
I really enjoyed this video, thanks alot.

Ideas for next series: I would like to see a HU series.

By this I meant a contemporary HU series with some live play. I liked Ansky vs. Durrrr but I would like to see 2010 Ansky play Hu vs a variety of opponents.

Epic episode

+1 for HU series

Great vid!! Can you give us some examples of how to study differnt problems away from the tables i.e. what kind of resources to use to compare ranges I have Pstove but that only compares hot/cold equities? this is something I really want to do to figure out my opponents strategies and really don't know how to go about it. Thanks alot man and kill it at the tables!

Well done! I think you did a good job of embodying the idea behind the series and adding a solid pep-talk to it.

I would be interested in the future to hear more about some specific tools you found useful and the best ways you found to use them.
