Thanks Jeff
DeleteFirst of all, congrats with your work. 58 hours a week a true grind.
ReplyDeleteHow about writing this book now? I really like your 3rd video on Cardrunners where you did the leakfinder.
I really would love to see a book with like 20 hands where you did the same as in that video...hope you give a thought.
Enjoy your rest,
Thanks. I have actually considered writing a book but I don't think the time invested would be worth the reward. My feelings on that certainly could change over time though.
DeleteOne of the types of books I've thought about writing is similar to what you're describing. It would be poker hands essentially broken down into math problems where the end result only varies based on assumptions about your opponent.
Okay, okay, i settle for 15 hands for $25 :)
DeleteYeah so "we get 6 to 1 and we have to be good 14%, if we assume he gets to the river with 100% of his cutoff range and put that in pokerstove on that board texture, we have 20% equity, so now he has to bluff 70% to make a call justified, but of course he never gets to the turn with 100% of its range, etc etc...i think a fold is here the correct play...loved it.
Or make a video and let us pay like $5 to watch it, right here on this blogsite f.e....well i keep my fingers crossed...
Ha thanks, I'm glad you liked the videos I made.
DeleteI have actually considered putting a video up as well and charging for it. I may do that at some point.
Another amazing/impressive year. The King of Limit Holdem ladies and gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteHa thanks Eric!

Thanks Chacky, I really appreciate that coming from you. Good luck playing the rest of the year.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Tony!
ReplyDeleteThis type of work ethic is really great!
how did you split up you hours over the days, weeks and month?
chris
i did not mean the 58 hours/week... but
Deletehow many off days per week, per month?
what did the days look like.
mondays: 8 hours, 3,000 hands
something like that would be really interesting.
thanks for sharing
chris
I didn't take a single day off the six months I was in Costa Rica though there were a few days where I only played 3-4 hours instead of a more typical 8-9.
ReplyDeleteHi, Tony. Great results, congrats!
ReplyDeleteDo you offer private coaching btw?
Thanks, I don't at the moment though I may at some point in the future. If I ever do, I will post it here.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever think about how much you could have won if playing like this 5 years ago? :)
ReplyDeleteI do actually, it's kind of a depressing thought though. I also wonder if I'll be thinking the same thing five years from now.
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's impossible I think. I mean this game is not THAT complicated. There just isn't much else you can do to drastically improve.
ReplyDelete>Thanks, I don't at the moment though I may at some point in the future. If I ever do, I will post it here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the answer. I'm $10/20 regular player and I want to improve my skill, so if you start offer coaching, don't forget to write about it please. Ty and good luck!
