| Following chat transcript is provided for your reading from the Ask A Pro session at Planet Poker last night featuring Roy Cooke and Grant Pittman. PP_TECH Hi all Grant_P hi RoyCooke Hi PP_TECH We will wait a few minutes for the other players PP_TECH to arrive and I will ask that black_jack ask the PP_TECH first question PP_TECH When your question has been answered, we would PP_TECH ask you leave your seat so another player can be PP_TECH summoned. black_jack ok black_jack guys what percentage of luck do you believe is black_jack used in online poker black_jack as opposed to live PP_TECH Roy, please go ahead RoyCooke the edge factor in online poker is lower than RoyCooke live because you cannot get as good of a feel as RoyCooke there are MUCH fewer tells in online poker...That RoyCooke said, the game is much faster online and so your RoyCooke ability to make money by the hour is higher than RoyCooke live......But swings are higher END black_jack ok thank you PP_TECH Grant, over to you Grant_P I don't think the percentage factor of luck Grant_P changes from game to game since we are still Grant_P playing the same game however as Roy said the Grant_P number of hands dealt is so much greater it can Grant_P appear that you need to be lucky since your Grant_P bankroll requirements will be so much Grant_P larger....END PP_TECH Thanks Grant, Hope that answers your question black_jack thanks guys that helps :-) black_jack bye bye Grant_P THANX....BYE PP_TECH pierre go ahead with your question pierre I'm curious to know the % of tourneys pros win $ pierre in and what you think the best tools are to pierre improve tourney performance in order to play in pierre bigger ones PP_TECH Grant, please go ahead Grant_P I think that tournament pros take much bigger Grant_P swings in bankroll than live action players Grant_P simply because the buyins for tournaments are Grant_P getting bigger and the fields larger creating a Grant_P situation where luck in the short term is a big Grant_P factor....that being said....Roy and I had a Grant_P chance to watch one of the best tournament and Grant_P live players alive today play at several final Grant_P tables at the Bellagio this week, Eric Seidel, Grant_P and I believe his success has to do with Grant_P intelligence hard work and extreme focus and Grant_P dedication to the game....END PP_TECH Roy, do you have anything to add? RoyCooke Erik Seidel is currently in 4th place at the $10k RoyCooke buy-in at the Bellagio! RoyCooke END PP_TECH thanks pierre PP_TECH crapdoctor please ask your question pierre doh...didn't get an answer to the real ? but thx pierre anyway crapdoctor what adjustments should I make, if any, if I'm crapdoctor playing in a limit Hold'em tourney which has crapdoctor 9-handed tables rather than 10? PP_TECH Roy, please go ahead RoyCooke With 9 handed tables you can play a little RoyCooke faster as there is slightly less chance of running RoyCooke into a hand...You also need to adjust to the fact RoyCooke the blinds come around faster...But there is RoyCooke little difference END PP_TECH Grant, do you have anything to add? Grant_P not much....the difference will be so small I Grant_P wouldn't make any drastic strategic changes as far Grant_P as hand selection....END PP_TECH T hanks crapdoctor crapdoctor tyvm PP_TECH Hi Nine55Dave, please go ahead with your question Nine55Dave hi guys Nine55Dave I am in a funk right now where I have lost a Nine55Dave significant part of my bankroll over a few days Nine55Dave My confidence has taken a hit as well. Nine55Dave I am wondering if you have any advice or Nine55Dave anecdotes on how to get out of this bad time. I Nine55Dave am a beginning player but smart enough to be a Nine55Dave pro like you some day ; ) PP_TECH Roy, your thoughts? RoyCooke Take a few days off and do things that will make RoyCooke you feel positive mentally....Go back and review RoyCooke notes or books and make sure your fundamentals RoyCooke are in order END PP_TECH Grant, would you care to add anything? Grant_P I think that when you are running poorly it is Grant_P important to play within your comfort zone Grant_P financially and perhaps tighten up a little with Grant_P hand selection until you can regain your Grant_P confidence....going broke in this situation will Grant_P make it much tougher to restart....END PP_TECH Hope that helps Nine55Dave Nine55Dave it does, thanks PP_TECH tonyo, please go ahead with your question tonyo first Roy.. my mom says you are sexier then bbq tonyo 2nd tonyo why am I having nightmares about this one bad beat tonyo on the weekend tonyo I walk out 1200 up tonyo and nailed a str8 flush tonyo but this bad beat is killing me tonyo that's it PP_TECH Roy, go ahead please RoyCooke Tell your Mom thanks :-) tonyo ok RoyCooke Bad beats are just part of poker...Put them RoyCooke behind you mentally and just play the next hand as RoyCooke best as you can! END tonyo ok tonyo ty PP_TECH Junior101 go ahead with your question please junior101 I have a question. Everyone we have played in our junior101 town we have dominated. However this one guy we junior101 play sometimes gets drunk and becomes the junior101 ultimate calling station. He will call pre-flop junior101 raises with hands like j2 off 9 3 off etc. and he junior101 is lucky and catches junior101 is there any advice to handling this player PP_TECH Roy, go ahead RoyCooke Just keep patient and if he keeps playing poor RoyCooke cards poorly you will win the money in the long RoyCooke run! END PP_TECH Your thoughts Grant? Grant_P let him keep playing!!! don't discourage him from Grant_P making this huge error....if he likes to bet and Grant_P bluff let him do this also.....he cant win Grant_P playing like this for long....if you don't believe Grant_P me try it some time!!! END junior101 it is just frustrating he always catches and he junior101 never bets junior101 just calls PP_TECH Hope that helps junior101 junior101 ty PP_TECH kitchguy, please go ahead with your question kitchguy what kind of strategy do you have when it comes kitchguy to playing pockets pairs and flush cards, where kitchguy do you draw the line at playing these cards loose, kitchguy or tight PP_TECH Grant, please go ahead Grant_P I always let the type of game dictate how loose I Grant_P will play pre-flop....if the game has lots of Grant_P limping then I will loosen up pre-flop and if the Grant_P game is tight I will look for a stronger hand to Grant_P start with or a weak opponent to isolate...END PP_TECH Roy, your thoughts? RoyCooke I agree 100% with Grant! END PP_TECH T hanks kitchguy kitchguy ty PP_TECH TE_AMO, please go ahead TE_AMO what are you thoughts on playing in 2 games at TE_AMO once can I win twice as much PP_TECH Roy, over to you first RoyCooke Because playing two games takes more energy and RoyCooke effort than one game, you lose some ability in RoyCooke each game.......You can make 1-1/2 times your win RoyCooke rate easily though and it can be VERY profitable RoyCooke to play two games at once if you are a winning RoyCooke player! END PP_TECH Grant, anything to add? Grant_P the second game you play should be a GREAT one to Grant_P justify playing in it.....you will have less Grant_P focusing both games and you will be more prone to Grant_P error the more games you play so your earn Grant_P potential better be juicy!!!! END PP_TECH Thanks TE_AMO TE_AMO thanks guys PP_TECH Cha_Ching, go ahead with your question please. Cha_Ching in live games, what is your number one poker tell Cha_Ching that allows you to put a player on a hand PP_TECH Grant, if you would care to go first Grant_P well....I was playing this week in a pot limit Grant_P game where my opponent wasn't protecting his hand Grant_P when he looked at it....that was a good tell!!!! RoyCooke LOL Grant_P aside from this....it is clearly how my opponent Grant_P has played their hands in the past against Grant_P me...specifically their hand selection and Grant_P betting patterns...END PP_TECH Roy, your thoughts? RoyCooke I feel if I can read my opponents emotions and RoyCooke minds then I can put them on a pretty accurate RoyCooke range of hands! END Cha_Ching excellent, thank you guys. We all appreciate Cha_Ching ty DrScott besides pocket aces or kings, what is your DrScott favorite hands? DrScott and One more Please> DrScott Do you ever show after losing? PP_TECH Roy, go ahead RoyCooke Aces is my favorite and is my license RoyCooke plate...that said QQ and AKs follow...I am not a RoyCooke sentimental player...Give me the hands that make RoyCooke the money :-)! END PP_TECH Grant, care to comment? DrScott ever show your cards after a loss and why? Grant_P well I agree with Roy...I like the big hands Grant_P since they have the best chance of winning...END PP_TECH Roy, thoughts on showing cards? RoyCooke I show my cards if I think it will influence my RoyCooke opponent to make a play I want him to make in the RoyCooke future...But I am careful not to drive players RoyCooke away from the game doing this! END PP_TECH Hope that helps DrScott DrScott ty PP_TECH Pseudolous, go ahead with your question please Pseudolous Mine is a two part Pseudolous question...firstly...Grant..did you ever play at Pseudolous FUNDTIME IN TORONTO Pseudolous and...do you think people who go on tilt Pseudolous are just inbred to do so...or is there a way to Pseudolous learn the proper discipline END PP_TECH Grant, go ahead please Grant_P yes I did as a matter of fact....as far as the Grant_P tilt issue goes I KNOW some people are not as Grant_P emotionally sound as others and it does affect Grant_P their results in poker....I believe that some Grant_P people are just not made to play the game Grant_P regardless of their level of intelligence...END PP_TECH Roy, anything to add? RoyCooke I believe that the human mind has varying degrees RoyCooke of chemical issues that affect things like tilt RoyCooke at the table...Some people seem to be unable to RoyCooke control themselves. END PP_TECH Thanks Pseudolous Pseudolous ty RoyCooke Good Question! Pseudolous I used to play with grant Grant_P HI Pseudolous hey Pseudolous see ya later Grant_P ok PP_TECH Z_Thomas54 go ahead with your question Z_Thomas54 do you think there is any way to truly ""read" an Z_Thomas54 opponent's "tells" at a table online? if so, any Z_Thomas54 pointers? Z_Thomas54 or is it just luck? PP_TECH Grant, over to you Grant_P well...there's not much to work with as far as Grant_P online tells so I fall back on my knowledge of Grant_P the player and more specifically his pre-flop Grant_P decisions and betting patterns...END PP_TECH Roy, anything to add? RoyCooke I agree with Grant...I try to read their mind RoyCooke based on what level I think their play knowledge RoyCooke is at! END PP_TECH Hope that helps Z_Thomas54 Z_Thomas54 thank you Roy, grant, and PP_tech!! Thx guys! Grant_P ur welcome PP_TECH Eagle Eyes go ahead Eagle~Eyes do you think that you have better odds if you Eagle~Eyes count the winning chances you have Eagle~Eyes how important is that Eagle~Eyes three players left PP_TECH "Roy, over to you" RoyCooke How big the pot is important in every poker RoyCooke decision.......The pot lays you a price and you RoyCooke should always keep that in mind particularly if RoyCooke you are drawing to hand...How much you expect to RoyCooke win when you make it vs. the chance of losing if RoyCooke you make your hand Vs the chance of making the RoyCooke hand all need to be factored into the equation! RoyCooke END PP_TECH Grant, anything to add? Eagle~Eyes thank you PP_TECH ALONZO21 go ahead, Eagle-Eyes was obviously happy ALONZO21 ok ALONZO21 the world series of poker....they show what the ALONZO21 guys are playing, u agree with it? ALONZO21 I wouldn't want the pros to know how I play in the ALONZO21 future PP_TECH Grant, your thoughts? Grant_P it's great for TV and is probably a must to boost Grant_P the number of viewers but it can create problems Grant_P for the players in that their opponents get a Grant_P great look at their decision making process and Grant_P hand reading skills....the best players will Grant_P adapt to all of this and counter it I'm sure....END PP_TECH Roy, any comment? RoyCooke It will help develop poker in a huge way and be RoyCooke good overall for the pro players! END ALONZO21 true...but if moneymaker ever met up with farha ALONZO21 again I think he would get killed PP_TECH Thanks ALONZO21 ALONZO21 thxs PP_TECH GAH, please go ahead with your question GAH Could you tell me what %age of online players GAH actually win in the long run? PP_TECH Roy, over to you RoyCooke We do not run queries on that statistic, but I RoyCooke would guess it is around 10%! END PP_TECH Grant, anything to add? Grant_P I THINK THAT NUMBER IS ABOUT RIGHT.....FEW WIN Grant_P ANYMONEY AND EVEN FEWER WIN ENOUGH TO SURVIVE ON Grant_P whoops....capitals RoyCooke LOL PP_TECH Thanks GAH. GAH ok. thank you very much. PP_TECH Cha_Ching, over to you Cha_Ching outside of the obvious (hand selection and Cha_Ching knowing how your opponent plays) what do you Cha_Ching feel is the top thing to know on poker PP_TECH Grant, your thoughts? Grant_P odds etc are important but knowledge of the game Grant_P is almost always the most important....it is Grant_P right up there with emotional control and game Grant_P selection in my opinion END PP_TECH Roy? RoyCooke I agree with Grant if you don't have good RoyCooke strategy knowledge you can't beat the game! END Cha_Ching excellent ty geirel Roy are you posting a transcript of geirel this? 3am here, some sites offer affiliates 20% or geirel so geirel will you consider giving that money to the geirel players instead of the leaches affiliates? PP_TECH Hi gierel, we have a referral program that does PP_TECH compensate the referring player to a similar PP_TECH degree as the affiliate type programs PP_TECH It is structured a little differently so there is PP_TECH a reasonable expectation of compensation to the PP_TECH referring player. geirel yes I know, a one time bonus will do the same geirel thing, and not take that money out of poker give geirel it to the players and it will be more beneficial geirel to all PP_TECH The player points program is also designed to PP_TECH give back value to the individual player as well PP_TECH comparable to an affiliate fee PP_TECH Does that help explain? geirel yes way less though geirel yes I understand, but the site who will let the geirel players be their own affiliate will get lot of geirel LOYAL players PP_TECH understood geirel so any transcript? PP_TECH We will post the transcript on UPF within 48 PP_TECH hours if that helps PP_TECH dscoot, final question dscoot in no limit Hold'em dscoot how do u feel about J/5 dscoot to other comparable hands? PP_TECH Roy, go ahead RoyCooke I fold it and all comparable hands...You need to RoyCooke tighten up your hand selection! END PP_TECH Grant final thoughts? Grant_P I love it if it comes 555 or JJJ Grant_P END PP_TECH Thanks everyone. Hope to do this again soon. dscoot tx RoyCooke CU all later RoyCooke Thanks for coming :-) Eagle~Eyes how do you develop a poker face?;-) chap05 one more question? Grant_P ok Eagle~Eyes chap was 1st chap05 in a live game most of the players I play with chap05 call the blinds chap05 would you open up your playing certain hands and chap05 bet to make some fold their hands? chap05 the winners seem to win on the flop with hands chap05 like 8 5 chap05 so do you think its wise to raise on a weaker hand chap05 just to knock those hands out Grant_P raising pre-flop with weak hands is exactly the Grant_P wrong strategy in this situation.....to beat this Grant_P type of opponent you will need to raise with Grant_P stronger hands since they will call you every Grant_P time...END chap05 thanks a lot Grant_P UR WELCOME PP_TECH Eagle_Eyes? Eagle~Eyes how do you develop a serious poker face? Grant_P think about all the bad beats you have Grant_P taken....if this doesn't put a frown on your face Grant_P you are too good for this game....play chess!!!! Eagle~Eyes then you look mad RoyCooke I try to create good habits...If I do it the same RoyCooke way every time...I don't think my opponents can RoyCooke read me! END RoyCooke CU all later Eagle~Eyes thank you very much I have a poker face the thank Eagle~Eyes you again RoyCooke Thanks All :-) PP_TECH Thx Grant, it was a pleasure Eagle~Eyes bye ty Grant_P thank u | ||
