Hopefully he'll spend some of his winnings on a multi-monitor setup. What he is doing makes no sense on 1 monitor.

 

[Mo0o]

wow go buy some more monitors w/ that money

 

[EPCrew]

I'm sure he can afford to have a large setup. I suppose that it does have it's advantages being that the active window continues to come to the top whenever it's his turn. If he had a larger setup he would have to scan across himself.

 

[EPCrew]

Poker stars accused him of being a bot so he decided to make a video of himself playing. LOL!

 

[Capt Caveman]

Impressive but using only one monitor is stupid. I could do six ring games at once but found it exhausting after a short time on dual monitors.

Perhaps. I guess he's playing so many tables that a multi-monitor setup becomes detrimental.

could it be a more boring video?

because he probably makes enough that he doesn't have to work.

He can rain dance too, can't wait until ESPN start showing the main event and his celebrations.

So his tables pop up when it's his turn, and he clicks either Fold Check or Bet... not... that.... impressive.

It is because he wins money.

 

[sygyzy]

What are sit and go's?

 

[tasmanian]

Tournaments if i remember correctly.

He must get so many of his hands auto folded for lack of response. Playing that many at one time is just stupid. You cant gauge how other people at the table are playing, and its just way too many to play with any sense of normalcy.

BTW, sit n gos are tournaments with a pre determined number of seats. Once those seats fill up, the tournament starts. (As opposed to a tourney starting at a fixed time with as many seats as people sit in before it starts)

One table with a set number of players, and thats it. Not like a tourney that has hundreds and it keeps narrowing down.

Sit and goes are only 10 players I think.

Well, I don't know if he plays that many tables regularly but it's obvious that he is using a strategy which does not take into account the play of others. It makes sense if you can win more money overall by playing more tables.

For instance, he may only be able to play 8 tables (still extremely hard to do) while actually concentrating on the actual table play. Let's say he averages 1.4x his buy-in this way. If he could then move to 24 tables while only playing his cards and average 1.15x his buy-in, it is becomes more profitable for him to play this way. Of course, the counter to this is that he could always move up in stakes, which seems more reasonable to me but then again, I'm not sitting at the WSOP final table.

Is the strategy here to only play hands that are high-percentage winners, then just let the statistics sort it all out? It would make sense then to play as many as you possibly could, fold when you don't have an obvious winner hand, take the losses, and assume you'll more than you lose.

 

[Capt Caveman]

He's playing limit sit-n-go's which are completely odds based. All the pros when they're not playing in tournaments play limit to make their money. The majority of them are math wizs.

 

[TallBill]

I'm curious how he signs up for tournament #26 while madly clicking through the other 25 windows.

 

[Capt Caveman]

The sit-n-go's don't start til the table is full. Probably just sits down on a bunch of empty tables.
