Poker Video: Misc/Other by DeucesCracked Executive Producers (Micro/Small Stakes)

Sorry for the delay on these bad boys, Australia has made us drink and drinking has made us delinquents. Congrats to all the winners, your Joe Tall invincible defender figurines are in the mail!

Congrats to everyone nominated! Sorry that the Limit kids didn't get enough love, but you guys are awesome too.

This is honestly awesome that this even exists. Only at DC!

...and I the ending, big time.

the nba intro lmao - very nice and fun to see for pokerplayer with basketball backround

Well now the LHE guys know that next year they're going to have to muster up their voters/campaign!!!

If we had a best strategy forum award, they win it hands down IMO

And I think I can say we def wouldn't be here if not for them, they were the original gangstas (DC was a LHE training site way back when before Chuck and I came on board)

this is really cool. congrats everyone. DC is awesome.

Epic intro and outro.

Awesome!! Thank you so much! Very, very honored imo.

Basicly, EPTPE won every single catagory. So tilting...

LOL at the outro. "Hurlsky" had me literally LOL.

Congratz to all winners and obviously a very special congratulations to TecmoSuperBowl, who I'm sure beat me and the other nominees for "Community Leader (Member)" by way more than just a mile. I never even thought I get nominated and I am feeling extremely honored about that and about being part of this "Amazing" community!!!

Hey the video was kind of fun. Can you guys make a pointless video next year like Balugawhale and WiltonTilt 2 months $20k or something. Maybe just a few videos where we get to know the coachs and have entertainment value.

Those are my 2 cents.

BTW everyone in the micros likes Baluga and Wilt XDXDXD

Z0mg epic outro

Where is this krantz vs patrick antonius video? I can't find it.

Thanks.

i a hoping i could be up there one day. i haven't been around here long but i have met some cool people.

i was thinking of starting a blog here. i don't know what to call it at the moment

Every poker player on this site instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you NL players do not. You move to a training site, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every award is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another site. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. NL players are a disease, a cancer of this site.

Fun vid and congratz to the winners !

I know why you're here, sushi. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us, sushi. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.

The answer is out there, sushi, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.

+1

if you ever do this again, consider a strategy forum reward. there are a few who put a ton of time in there and it's an important area of this site that a lot of people get a ton of help in. IMO

Isn't that essentially the member community leader award?

I was proud just to be nominated, honestly and makes me want to think/create/brain storm to get a series that wins an award next year! Congrats to everyone!

Isn't that essentially the member community leader award?

I don't think so. Member community leader award title is to broad to cover the entire DC forum. There is the general/non strategy forum's area's and then there is the strategy forum area. 1 award title can't possibly cover both imo. It's not that simple.

And I wouldn't think coaches would be an exception. They should have the award too because there are coaches who often post in the strat forum helping everyone and then there are some who never post.

Considering this is a poker strategy based community it makes sense to me.

imo of course.

we will have more (and perhaps different?) awards next time around. we only had so much time to put this together and didn't want to overdo it with the inaugural attempt!

yeah for sure. i def thought it was a cool set up. you guys did a good job. congrats to all the winners. and I'm sure idea's will come out of the wood work for next year..

zomg: lost.

Someone has too much time on their hands

Wow, almost ZERO LHE recognition = (

Wow, almost ZERO LHE recognition = (

I'm sure some of the other guys will agree with me when I say I feel recognized. It's a fact of online poker life that NL > limit in sheer numbers, so things that get voted on tend to reflect that

Pretty awesome video, and thanks a ton to the LHE guys who nominated me (and mike l.)!

So sick that DJ Sensei's and RBK's Mixed video didn't win This means they must make more.

Time Link to 00:03:16

You know, I've been trying to riffle chips for, like, fifteen years. Perhaps Joe Tall's daughter would consider being my coach and trainer. Does she have established rates?. I simply cannot riffle chips.

Wow, almost ZERO LHE recognition = (

Yeah, I'm going to disagree too. Speaking for myself I felt really honored to be nominated / make the ballot, as I have already posted in the LHE forum. Actually, I even got in on a few categories that really surprised me.

Shouldn't really surprise you

At least not as much as my blog.....

Ty for nomination guys and will get you next time NL PLAYERS!!!!

Ah who am I kidding

if the 8 fold path was the titanic, id like to think the coaching tree was at least "chocolat"

So sick that DJ Sensei's and RBK's Mixed video didn't win This means they must make more.

I totally totally agree I literally cried of laughter every episode, RBK is insanely funny

Great intro to the awards video guys! Still LOLing over here just thinking about it.

One of my favorite academy award acceptance speeches was from last year, when the Coen brothers won best picture for No Country for Old Men. One of them said something like, "Thank you, academy, for letting us play in our own little corner of your sandbox."

That's how I feel right now.

Another thing that was great about their speech is that it was very short. They are probably good at that from having won lots of awards. Well, this is my first time at this. So I'm going to take my time. :-)

Around 2003, in the middle of the poker explosion, when poker websites were sprouting up all over the place, and players and writers who had a name were aligning themselves with websites, I had a conversation with my wife during which I made two predictions:

1) I said that a few years from now, there would be lots of players who had become good at betting since the explosion, and some of them would realize that in order to continue to significantly increase their earn, they would need to move some of their improvement energy away from betting strategy, and divert it to discipline problems they have in areas like tilt, quitting, bankroll, and health, both mental and physical. I decided to become a poker coach, and I based my coaching program in part on that prediction.

2) I said that someday I would probably align myself with a website. I told her I had no idea what type of site it would be, or why it would happen. The main prediction I made to her was that I would only do it once.

A few years later, my good friend Joe Tall called me up to tell me about DeucesCracked. I already knew Chris and Rob from the 2+2 forums and I was a big fan of their writing and thinking and attitude. From my happy little home I watched with great enthusiasm as their company and union grew. And then a while later Joe called me up to tell me about the plans to merge with Jay and Chuck of 3bet.net. I was in on a couple group phone calls where the topic was me. Some brainstorming happened about how I might be involved in some way. Nothing came of it, in terms of action. All I remember was feeling very, very excited about the whole thing. Their vision and maturity and business savvy blew me away. I knew that DC was going to be something very special.

In January of 2008 I met Jay and Chuck in San Francisco and we tooled around for a couple days. Right after that, I talked it over with my wife, and we made one of the easiest big decisions I've ever made. There’s only one website for me from here on out. We had no idea in what professional capacity I might be involved with DC, or if I would do anything other than read and write posts. What I knew was that I had a home.

And then along came Wayne, and the idea of the Eightfold Path series, and the many conversations Wayne and I had laying out the outline, and then we did the first recordings, and then I started recording piano bits and inserted them in between our conversations, and then I went to Seattle a couple times to work with Rob and we built the first few episodes, and then more recording with Wayne, and more piano playing, and more audio engineering by me, and Rob and I designed a way to build episodes remotely, and by the summer of 2009, when the last few episodes were coming together, I was in the same kind of groove I was in during the late stages of working on Elements of Poker, which is basically as happy as it is possible for me to be, consumed with and by a project in which I had the support and wisdom of excellent persons to draw on, while I enjoyed the freedom and thrill of making thousands of final decisions.

So that’s one part of the joy of EPTPE and me. The other thing, the bigger thing, is about the message of the series, which is, in my opinion, in a word: peace. Somehow by being battered about by poker, I found myself on a path toward peace. And I wanted to share that journey for the benefit of others. It is a great honor for me, and Wayne, and Rob, to have EPTPE receive three awards. Winning the “Away from the Table” award is awesome. Winning “Best Overall Video” is very awesome. But the one that I’m really excited about is the “Best Episode in a Series” award, for episode 8. There was a couple months between when Wayne and I finished recording the conversations in episode 7, and started recording episode 8. Much extra planning and effort went into E8. My vision was to have it be a stand alone work. Kind of like, “If you are only going to watch one episode of this series, watch this one.” And my primary hope, really my only hope, was that E8 would land on the viewer like a sledgehammer, and like a feather, at the same time, and say hey, wake up, and soften up. I am going to allow myself to believe that because E8 was recognized by this award, my hope came true.

With heaps of gratitude,

Tommy

"what would Joe Tall Do? - Joe Tall"

Ya damn right he would

tyty

much love for DC and the members

Hielko was robbed! Robbed, I say!

i voted for him

JK3A

i just want to say i'm not "honored just to have been nominated"

the fact that "mixed games" with me and dj sensei didnt win is a mockery and just illustrates everything that is wrong with the academy.

i will be boycotting the awards from now on and i encourage the rest of you to join me in this as well as not eating canned tuna.

DOWN WITH THE MAN.

if the 8 fold path was the titanic, id like to think the coaching tree was at least "chocolat"

And pygmyhero was the Peter O'Toole !

(For those who don't know who this awesome actor is check out how many nominations he has had to win an oscar: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000564/awards )

riverboatking, you know the deal with the academy. It's all inside baseball: Columbia employees vote Columbia, Paramount employees vote Paramount. You independents just can't win. Regarding the canned tuna, I suggest starting a dolphin canning operation and picking out the tuna that accidentally get caught in the nets. I keep emailing StarKist with my idea but they must be busy or something.

DOWN WITH THE MAN.

I feel your pain!

Check this out...

Robbed, I say! We were robbed!

lol, nice video! what's the song in the beginning?

While I love Oliver (improva) and how much he has helped me in my game, I think Tubasteve should have won the Community Leader awards.

He is always posting (and while I dont necessarily agree with all what he says ) he works extremely hard on forums and video and I really think that should be acknowledged.
