In episode 4 of the MOPP we chat with all round NLH crusher Steffen ‘Go0se.core’ Sontheimer who shares with us his journey to the highest stakes in both cash-games and tournaments. We will learn how being competitive from a young age and always looking to play in games where he has an edge has increased the chances of him succeeding in poker. But maybe even more important, he shares with us valuable knowledge on value based decision making so you can succeed in life based on your definition of success. We also talk about his approach to the current games he is playing, his coaching philosophy, and why players get stuck at mid-stakes.

Thank god we couldn't see Rene's pants when Steffen said he's been experimenting w/ the 10% river donk...wouldn't be able to watch this video anymore unless you were 18+
Humble to play 200 zoom and be ranked No 20 in the world by me. Negreanu and hellmut play high stakes live and not even top 100 000.
The bad regs in My 100 games are way better.
HU probably top 5
Nice
Feel very bad for him that he had to fly to the Bahamas :/
Love goose
hi, do you believe poker is an ethical game to play?
Absolutely. Because everybody is free to play and is playing against other humans. Most addicts are sitting in front of slot maschines - not poker tables. So, what do you think would be unethical about that? :)
@southernfriedchicken92 you can reduce the impact of rake playing more agressive pre flop (there is no rake on pre flop pots).
So 3 bet more and 4 bet more for value and bluff.
You can reduce the impact of rake tightening your ranges and playing less speculative hands.
Stop setmining with médium and low pocket pairs helps.
You can play high volume for rakeback too.
@southernfriedchicken92 I see where you are coming from, if you have some problems with addiction ... but most of your argument has nothing to do with ethical things - just saying that bad players loose more money. But bad players in football loose more matches, in chess it's the same. Also there are edges to be gained. It isn't as black and white as you say.
About all the unethical stuff sites or casinos are doing - you do have a point. But that doesn't mean that "Poker" is unethical (as you said).
@southernfriedchicken92 yes in live games specially in Brasil there is gambling addicts at the plo tables for sure and 5% un cap rake is Also sick but I beat it playing 500bb deep and mega nitty pre ranges.
@@Auktioneronline out of curiosity, what are the typical stakes there running? And whats the buyin cap?
You euros are literally robots
This interview sounds really cool but in todays world who has time to listen to 2 hours of content about peoples opinions on life?. It would be an epic podcast if it had some actual learning in it. Like reviewing why and how he played specific hands etc...
That's not the idea of these podcasts. Aren't there already enough channels reviewing hands and theory? I really like the kind of content coming from these podcasts.
