Nice talking guys, tks a lot!
Nice pod ep
They simply don't miss
Great podcast Mr. Dutchman and Carmichael and Clanty! I really feel you guys when you talk about it being frustrating when opponents do things they shouldn't. Many keyboards now sleep at the bottom of my trash can. Jared Tendler talks about that tilt in his book. But knowing that doesn't make me happier. FUCK ME!!!
Great stuff 🔥🔥🔥
Great podcast! Thanks !
Where is the video are talking on 2:28:20 ?
JUST 🤯👍 SO GOOD
thanks for the best podcast available for the hs comunity now that joey is gone :)
Anyone else thinks Luke sound a little like Spraggy? Great content btw thanks!
Wakko with the Sklansky knowledge 💰
anyone know what nodes in a 4bet pot the solver prefers 5% pot sized bet?
Great show! Sounds like Clanty despises the thing that makes poker great and keeps the recreationals coming back
He doesnt really profit from recs though. Mainly being better than good players in a pool.
Wow my tilt type is the same as clantys. Bad regs getting rewarded for stupidity really drives me insane.
Clanty coming to you live, from a messy closet 😂

1000% same tilting issue.... that auto cB is a disgrace

Great interview but what always hits me is how many pro players are completely unaware how bad variance can get in cash games. I dont blame them because part of becoming a pro is running reasonably well most of the time and players who run bad for hundreds of thousands (or even 1m +) hands never (or rarely) become pros.
lol
His office is a mess I have no idea how he can focus in there. Good podcast though
Poker pro's hating on playing videogames. Wow.
