Strategy with Kristy: Ryan D’Angelo Discusses Tourney Concepts
January 19 2012, PokerNews Staff Related Articles Strategy with Kristy: Jared Tendler on the Mental Game of Poker Pt 1 Strategy with Kristy Podcast: Jared Bleznick Strategy with Kristy: Mike Watson Discusses Playing Big Stacks Share It Tags PokerNews Podcast, South Point, Poker Strategy Print Ryan D’Angelo, better known as “g0lfa” to the online poker community, has accumulated nearly $2 million in winnings. His biggest cash to date came when he finished fifth in the 2010 PokerStars.net Caribbean Adventure Main Event for $700,000. For this edition of the Strategy with Kristy podcast, brought to you by South Point, D’Angelo talks about the concepts “way ahead or way behind” and “slightly ahead or way behind.” Here is a snippet from the interview: Let’s talk about the “slightly ahead or way behind” concept. Can you explain what it is? Its big for no-limit holdem tournaments, I think. There are lots of times when youre trying to decide whether or not to call an all-in or when youre faced with a big raise on the flop and you put them on either a flush draw or two pair and you have an over pair. Thats a situation where if they have a flush draw or a pair and a flush draw, youre flipping. If they have two pair or a set, then youre way behind. I see a lot of people who just put their opponents on the hand that theyre flipping with, instead of really evaluating the other persons range. You should realize youre not doing too well against this range. Youre flipping or youre behind. So in spots like that, you want to make a little bit tighter folds. Its really tough to do when you have a really strong hand deeper in a tournament. But, sometimes you want to take the low road, and let your hand go if you dont think you ever have your opponent dominated. Like on a nine-nine-six board with two clubs and you have two red jacks. Sure they might have some bluffs in their range when they check-raise you or when you raise a bet in a three-way pot and the third guy goes all-in for three times your bet, but you have to think about your equity against their range of hands. If the guy has seven-eight, obviously youre doing great, but if he has a nine, then youre dead. You need to factor in, and correctly weigh those different situations where people could have you drawing dead. That will kill you long term. You have to make a bit tighter folds if you think that person has trips enough of the time or your equity is that low enough of the time.

Black Friday Saves One Player’s Money & Relationship

Black Friday Saves One Players Money & Relationship
published on 04/23/11 at 8:54 am One person who will be saving money after Black Friday, is Steve Street3 Carse. Known to have wasted thousands of dollars on online poker sites, the recent federal take over of Full Tilt Poker will have a positive effect on Mr. Carses financial statements. Angel Valdez, of the Online Poker Team, fires some questions at Oklahomas number one degenerate. How much money have you saved since Online poker got shut down?I transferred my last $80 on FTP to Angel to bet on black at the casino. He informed me that I lost. So, I would have naturally deposited another $50 and in turn, ran that up to around $55, then lost it all. Then I would have reloaded again. I would guess since Friday, I have saved around $450. But, since I dont have online poker anymore, i am extremely bored and have since spent over $1500 on various illegal endeavors. Those intruders in their homes have names? Some call them Kids, and others call them Mom/Dad/HoneyHonestly I am scared to death about what this question means and wonder how much meth the interviewer has inhaled to come up with such a psycho question. I live with my girlfriend Kelly and I have not seen any intruders in my home. When they stepped outside did the sun melt off their skin? Did they get the vampire effect?Again, another scary question that makes about as much sense as a gaggle of coked up geese selling cookies to gimps. Is their ability to make money playing online poker myopia equal to lets say Charlie Sheen thinking hes normal?I dont know what myopia means and Im too fucking lazy to google it. Charlie Sheen has Goddesses, cocaine, no teeth and millions of dollars. I have Kelly, teeth and tens of dollars. You tell me. Why is chicke nmeth so addictive, especially among online poker players?A bit of history, Chicken meth was introduced in Arkansas by Jeremy Allen. Its a combination of meth, chicken shit and feathers. It gives one the ability to 5bet shove 73o into AA and see a 773 flop. Or at least thats what chicken meth benders will trick your mind into seeing. On the evolutionary poker scale, where would you place IBGPN?I would place him at the bottom of the scale. Somewhere between a single celled organism and tadpole. While he can swim with the sharks, hes often overlooked as his bank roll rarely goes above the $1 mark. His most frequent sightings have the word (OBSERVER) after his name. I just had a cup of tea and a grilled cheese sandwich. Comments?You must be gay or British.

Reflections on the Full Tilt Poker Smear Campaign

Reflections on the Full Tilt Poker Smear Campaign
published on 09/21/11 at 4:18 pm With all the news coming out about Full Tilt Poker and a so-called Ponzi scheme, I felt the need to say something. First, let me start by saying that Full Tilt Poker is a class organization that has treated this organization and overseas bank accounts fairly throughout the years. Howard Lederer and Jesus Ferguson are honest, trust worthy individuals. Not to mention, Rafe Furst, although he did move to Mexico, I can only say his work with charities and the Bad Beat on Cancer have garnered the utmost respect from me. Second, it is a shame to see the U.S. government stick their noses into something that was good for the poker industry, the nations economy, and an individuals self esteem. The majority of players online are terrible and just give money to the lucky few. But these players kept depositing funds into their accounts, helping my lifestyle with a variety of extravagant needs. So what a player did not know about the inner processes of Full Tilt, did not hurt them. They would never have withdrawn funds in the first place. Third, all these dopes posting about a 400 million dollar hole in Full Tilt Pokers finances, do not know one thing about international finance. 99% of their money is in overseas accounts. To get their money into U.S. accredited bank accounts takes several months, due to the Patriot Act. I believe Mr. Lederer and Mr. Ferguson are just waiting for the funds to go through the proper channels and everyone will be promptly paid. So let us stop slinging the proverbial mud at Full Tilt Poker. We need to let this show trial run its course and in the end, you shall all see that they are innocent of all charges.
