Poker Video: MTT/SNG by Ansky (High Stakes)

thanks dani - made my week seeing this..........was posted now I get to watch!
sick.

was some good discussion bout this hand on twoplustwo, like your analysis in the video!

Re: patti and the 'karma' comment.

I thought of the 2M2M reunion vid of PA vs Krantz - when Brian was asked - what do I think about people who think Karma is serious ( or words to that effect)? They're f'ing retarded.

Liked the video good work. For the video series i'd like to see you crush 5/10 6max on stars please

dani ty for vid . But i also spent the summer in Vegas and have a ridiculous story about a dealer. plyn 2/5 at Venetian. I'm playing on relatively short money bc of my ftp roll being gone. so got like 8k roll. I'm sitting with 1.2k. so to reduce variance i ask about doing business in a hand. IN a previous hand I got in an argument with a dealer bc he declared my hand dead bc he didnt know i was still in the hand for a ridiculous reason so i am giving him hell.

So a few hands later same dealer i get AA aipf vs a dealer that also plays at the casino. The other dealer/player has QQ and i say hey dealer wait dont put out the flop we are making a deal. Now i have done this in bigger pots multilple times at the venetian all summer, made deals etc. The dealer for some reason says no you cant and make I him hold on while we discuss deal . So the player and i agree he takes back 200 i get 1k and while this is happening the dealer deals without us tellin him to and it comes Q high and the other guy goes back on the deal.

The floor rules that the deal wasn't official before the board ran out and he ships the whole Pot w/ top set. Fucking ridiculous. I still kept playing there and i win a1.8k pot with same dealer about a week later and make about 2.4k in his shift at our table and refused to tip him one dollar and continued to berate him. I literally look at him at one say i promise to not tip you any time you deal for me the rest of summer. I mean bc he doesn't understand ppl can do business if they so choose costs me 1.2k. awesome

Love it so far ansky!
Was your standard 850 in the six max or did it vary from utg to sb? How do you feel about varying open sizes online in full ring as well as six max tourneys, and how would stack depth change that strategy from level to level? I was kind of thinking about it like ex. 2.5x utg and 2x otb. But as stacks get shorter and shorter i would think you want it as small as possible from utg with even a semi reasonable range. Its something im trying to figure out in my head for sure, i think early it makes sence but not so much post antes. Thoughts would be much appreciated.

I'd try to not have rigid guidelines. Some tables you just want to be able to raise more, or less, based on other stacks, how people play, ante size, etc.

More or less situational like everything else in mtt's i guess haha . Thanks for the content ansky, I love your stuff and would love more but i understand that your a busy man.

+1
any stuff from you is great Ansky.
PLO/ HSNL 6M/HU - whatever imo

Seems like this is an error that this is listed under micro/small stakes.

I think suitedness adds a pretty significant amount of value to your rundown hands in multiway pots, because the times you flop the nuts and get it in vs. the same hand, you're almost always going to have backdoor flushdraw freerolls in big pots. Even vs. other hands you get it in against on boards where you have the nuts, like nut flush draws or sets+flush draws, you'll have blockers a pretty high percentage of the time, or even end up dominating a combo draw when you flop a T-high flush draw and a straight. Obviously not huge considerations, I just think T865ds is like vastly more playable there than T865r obviously, so being double-suited is hardly irrelevant.

I mean you are right, equity is equity, and it's always better to have the chance to have a live FD, or to block your opponents outs when he has a higher draw. I am just saying though, in a 3b pot flopping a gutter and fd is worth something when it is hu or 3 way, but 6 way in a single raised pot, it is worth basically nothing.

Well yeah, obviously your marginal flops are going to go down in value 6-ways, but that's going to be the case with lots of hands you'd play there. You're really not going to get a ton of money in good without the nuts anyway, though. I know that your point is that low flush draws suck 6 ways and you're going to have to fold tons of flops so it's super marginal. I guess what I'm really asking is: there's a pretty big difference between T865ds and T865r there, right? Or are our suits worth so little that it's irrelevant?

Well, this is certainly not the metric by which everything ought to be judged, but intuitively if I had the option of calling or folding with both, and not 3betting, I'd call the DS and fold the SS.
