AND SUP RIKD MY GOOD SIR. i was in SF a couple years ago for work and met up with straate for some food and coffee and i am very confident your name came up in a reminiscing discussion of the absolute gentlemen we mutually knew from here


RiKD    United States. Feb 02 2021 03:09. Posts 8442

Oh, nice. Yeah, straate is the man.


So, I was thinking about the craziest online games I've ever seen:

1.) 10/20 PokerStars - B_Buddy and Twin-Caracas tilt

2.) Straate vs Gunning4you (Scott Seiver) 4 tabling hu nlhe - I think straate booked a win in the bloodbath category but I am not sure. That was when straate was probably better than anyone in the world at hu nlhe not named lars luzak but that is my biased perspective. I was never actually playing in those games. The best hu nlhe player I ever played in hu nlhe was a relatively unknown Jungleman when he was on the come up. I got buried. So, I know a little bit but I was never even close to battling LarsLuzak at 200/400 in 2007.

Also, there is the seemingly fundamental law of hu poker: Just because A is better than B, and B is better than C, doesn't always mean that A is better than C, etc. I don't even know if I truly believe that. I think I originally saw that idea in "Ace on the River" by Barry Greenstein. It could carry over into anything. Federer in his prime is beating everyone except for maybe Nadal in his prime on clay courts. I don't know enough about sc:bw these days. Wasn't it Flash is greater than all except for maybe someone on certain maps? Maybe LarsLuzak has ultimate edge at the biggest game possible on Prima but loses some of that edge if he plays on PokerStars or Full Tilt. Maybe, I don't know. That's certainly different than maps in sc:bw or court type in tennis. There's no imba in poker or tennis. I could probably talk about this for a while but I will just end with I wonder what the 2021 "GTO" opinion on this matter is?

3.) One day Ket, Mez, and VaeSolis all decided to sit at a bunch of tables and go HAM ^ 2

Ket,

When I think about it I am still a little sad my phone died in Manhattan and we did not end up meeting up in Koreatown. I ended up finding myself in a crazy adventure in which I met one of my adolescent heroes Rob Van Dam and ended up lost in the Bronx at 3am but I would have much preferred to have a chill, reasonable night with the Ket crew.

I am cleaning up some browsers and noticed that I had saved this article:

http://blog.lunarchstudios.com/2014/0...oubled-my-poker-potential-and-income/

hiems gets me inspired to Make Liquid Poker Great Again even though I banned him from this blog but I figured I would dump the article here.

Thinking back it rings true.

Probably, the most important is Diamond Internet.

I remember playing on the sketchiest Internet ever at a new apartment in Buenos Aires. I 4-bet AA, Villain shoves, I lose connection, time out, and fold. Literally a minute later I hit top set. I c/r, Villain shoves, I lose connection, time out, and fold. I proclaim I am not playing another hand of Internet poker until we get better Internet and proceed to go on a 5 day bender without raising a single finger to help fix the Internet connection problems. Pretty standard.

Next, is to be settled with a nice setup. Decent desk, gaming chair, above the curve desktop PC, at least 1 30'' monitor and I liked having a 20'' monitor on the side for lobbies, starting 6-max games, waiting for hu, etc. Gaming keyboard, gaming mouse, gaming mousepad. An optimized setup maximizes win rate. Of course, traveling is fun and also good for poker experience. A top of the line gaming laptop is worth the investment. I remember FeaRFaCT taught me how to optimize the DPI settings on my Logitech MX 500 and then I grinded up to top scores on MissionRed. I was spending every waking moment laddering and watching SweeT replays. My Hero control was stellar. I could coil and nova with the best of them. My surrounds were on point. My statue blocks were on point. I thought maybe there is a little bit of a chance to get to South Korea. We've been through this before. There wasn't a chance. I sucked. Luckily, I transferred all of that energy and focus into poker and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Anyways, the reason I told that story is because in 2009 I was moving to Malta and wanted to do it right. I maxed out a 17'' MacBook Pro. The idea was to hook that up to a 30'' monitor and that is a pretty good mobile setup. I bought a special suitcase to transfer my 30'' monitor and now I can't remember why I didn't bring it. I get to Malta and start to play on my MacBook Pro but I hate the iOS and the mouse sensitivity is fucked up. So, I go back to my piece of shit Acer that I am used to. Buying electronics in other countries can be a shit show. I was used to the Acer and it served me well but I was certainly leaving money on the table.

Proper tools and technology are important yo.

I don't know why I am remembering this movie just now but:

Crank (2006)

It is a lot of fun.

Corwin, Evan, Johnny (in alphabetical order)

Steve maybe deserves his own category. I remember when I thought he was hustling me in Ninja Warrior prop bets but I was probably extremely blazar'd at the time.

Then, there is the Legend of The Hobo King but I don't think he ever posted on LP.

Who is Tom that you reference? We're you at the party on July 3rd, 2009?

Tom is Tom (not talented_tom). He is pretty anonymous these days so I don't feel like giving more info.

I was smoking a ton of weed then and drinking pretty heavy but I think I was at a 4th of July party in 2009. Nice house overlooking the strip with a beach volleyball court and big backyard?

I also remember getting out of Vegas pretty quickly to go to Costa Rica so maybe that was another year.
