Sweep Poker: Videos/pics/analysis/strategy/discussion

One basic concept about playing Poker. The top-players do this the best:

* How do you adjust to your opponent?

The most obvious adjustment...Does Villain bluff? The adjustments are pretty obvious:

1) If he's a straight-fwd player (and most ARE)...u don't pay off on 2nd pair. He's not bluffing.

2) If a Villain bluffs a lot...you have to call-down lighter. He might be bluffing. Take a good look at a poker-board and how the cards run out. By the time u get to river, there normally aren't THAT MANY value-hands.

Sweep, who is your favorite PRO poker player?

Been watching some videos of this guy. God-damn, Alec Torelli is a strong poker-player.

It was pretty self explanatory what I wrote, not sure what you're not grasping.

There's no "screen grab" in post #2.

All I see for the screen grab is a gray circle with a white minus symbol on it.

Also, am I the only person who doesn't play with their chips when playing live?

Sorry guys, screen grab was showing on my end yesterday and now gone. I'll get it back up a little later.


-Chucky: Don't really have a favorite poker player but I tend to root for the older guys and against the math wiz kids. If I had to choose an all time fav it would be Amirillo Slim. First poker book I ever read was about him and it has kind of stuck with me. Great stories in that book. "Amirillo Slim in a world full of fat people" is the title of the book. Check it out.

Wow, good stuff.

GL man.

I agree with all three of your folds.

I don't, aside from the occasional restacking...never learned even the simplest chip shuffling tricks. I often wonder if it's easier to have a controlled fidget than just trying to stay still/act natural, but never cared enough to practice.

I think a big shit eatin grin whilst lookin em straight in the eye, gets more reaction from the other player (or puts them off) than most things you can do.

Not that I care too much about tells either.
