"Apologize so we said we both apologized for over doing it on twitter and mostly agree on bigger issues. He said that they had pretty constructive talks. So we're checking up. Podcast could be a good topic and it will probably go into a lot more than we had time for now. Here's the story. I clean really want to get into the mouth and it might be the one that you really don't and maybe carlos i'd like to hear your take as well or go. Even have to indulge me mostly on this one logo copyright claims okay so this actually does affect or strictly as a story. People might not be aware of why. Dr you know why because this is several months ago put pogo are bringing the hammer right now. On a number of content creators in the space who having their opinions violated copyright on their material. It's worth noting that two of our strategy videos going back. I think one of them was like three years. Old and one of them was a year old polls. I think it was actually three average. But we both Without using their footage out you're right they did poultry and we did decide to remake one because it was a particularly successful one florist. That's right. I remember that which indeed so we got three poles. We're also given a strike against us on our youtube channel. And when you get a strike against you it's kinda like three strikes and you're out so you don't really want to get a second strike because then you're on tender hooks as a content creator whether people have had that happen to them on. It's devastating again this. This is a minor point but my memory is that they only objected to one of our videos. But we were told we had a strike against us and we were afraid because the other two videos also used poker gold material that they would dent object to them and they will count as a second or third strike so we preemptively took took the decision to pull those other videos..

"It's just what everybody agrees is is cheating or not the one thing i would say on this kind of echoes. What what carter said is that. When i coach rosia beginners and i explained pre flop ranges to them and children various charts. They all just assumed they can use them online. And they don't see that as cheating am You know because it's relatively simple information. Yes they could memorize ish. That seems kind of pointless. Really to be honest on they. Don't you know the it gives them an edge But the games mostly post flop so certainly most gracious. I know don't see it as cheating 'em which is actually a lot of much dimmer review of hud's for example which us also mentioned a awesome do see hoses cheating so i think this is kind of a storm in a teacup really It's it's not something that a said Beginners would see cheating. So why are we focusing so much on much more concerned about post op or ta m people having complete solutions and that they can access quickly in real time That seems much concern. I mean the sites even january. Take a a fairly benevolent view towards prefab charts a Stars actually say dash. Certainly there's nothing wrong with arrays. I didn't chart where if would be folded to you. It's look it's okay to look at a chart and see what he's supposed to open your hand or not. One of the big problems is why would say that would be cheating. Is you you you basically trying to please something which can't be policed if people have charleston there wall. What are you going to be installed. Three hundred sixty two three camera to make sure that. Nobody's looking at charts while they're playing it. I cannot situation. Some people might then stop using charts but then there are dissenters to people who are using charts it seems better to just create a level playing pitch by saying. Look up charts. Fine yeah as you said to me once. Before i might be paraphrasing my example but like if you just had something written on your hand saying fold eighth grade pre flop. Don't be new. Technically brought in chichi as well. So you know you as you say. It's degrees of course..

"Which is actually going on right now. This minute thirty to five. Which i think is the mobile app because one hundred k. Only got like twenty runners or something like that at third place actually win the series trophy. I feel i feel so dirty mentioning these positive results right now but i do feel like you. I a lot of laughing at his expense during the losing streak. So it's probably only fair. Yeah yeah. I think that's when look we will move on carlos. I'm really keen to get your take on the next story because actually you might have a fresh take on this. Because i kinda kinda have spoken about this at different points over the last few months say even six months ago. Maybe we talked about what it's back in the news now alleviate busse gay sort of pointed some fingers on new and poke in trying to make his point a little while ago he jumped on twitter and he said not to make this personal but i was absolutely floored by polka-dot in agronomy even discussing the possibility of using pre flop charts. Not because it's cheating if they agree agree to whatever they want but because of how incredibly and profoundly lazy is he added. Imagine a chess match between two super. Gm's where they agreed. Use an engine for the first eight moves because they don't want to spend time memorizing openings. The entire idea is so preposterous to me. I suppose the story here. Before i give pokes reaction carlos is that charts are bad or charter cheating. Sort of i guess cheating bobi degree which is like most of the time when we're playing poker or not making special agreements with whoever's on the other side computer. I don't know man this this this this topic is always been a slippery slope I can remember in the sydney. Go days which is where i started. there were like it was very common for people to have light. You know prefab charts taped to the wall and don't recall the majority of people having a problem with baghdad back then i think the problem now is that with the advent of solvers. We get more than just push foale information where now you see okay. What ranges do you defend versus various three bets and You know squeezes and all that kind of stuff which like the charts are starting to improve to the point where they're starting to approach rta. So i understand where olivia's is coming from. But again it's a slippery slope like this conversation has revolved around the use of hers in the past as well and my take on it is like when he says it's lazy and compares it to Grandmaster chess players a kind of gets back to my take on the land. Entice story the reason. Everybody's you know piling on him is because he's trying to approach bag grandmaster level. Where if you have someone like me. Who just you know came up in poverty and they're trying to poke his money making tool. I don't think you would give that type of guy crap for using preform char so hut. But when you're but when you're trying to you know reach the sky ikea's people are waiting for your your wings. And so i think a little bit of that. Is here when you look at too high level players whitney granola and poke. I can understand that side of olivier's take as well. Yeah good point well. Polk replied a little feisty. Said why did you make such ridiculous. The statements like there's twitter. I don't get to do guys are friends and could've added and realize you're totally different person. Poker is difficult and you only so many to by having pre flop sheets. You can spend more of your time focusing on playing post flop. Is he right there. I mean this is one of those things you there's really no right or wrong..

"There is familiar show to people and i suppose it was his most popular show although i actually spoke to two nights ago and he was saying to me how he just really really doesn't want to do any hand breakdown anymore. He's preparing some hand material for his upswing lab which i think he's going to launch is going to have a lot of the new grand new match content in there and i guess that's monetize that's his business model so i suppose that's him getting back to work but when it comes to just like making those videos where i suppose by his own admission. It was like. How'd you play your misplayed jack all the time. He just has no low for that anymore. So i think maybe coming up the news. From a satirical point of view suits on the podcast. Maybe wear long form. He can flex in different directions and we wish him all the best with that. The winning i wanna point very leave. This is he did a very quick thumbnail. And what.

He's back to winning ways to e got second in an mtv not for twenty last night's bill perkins could not resist any good musically eight in there to say second landon. How l. heads off which i enjoyed. I know london. Enjoy this weli. Laughing along Yeah we obviously you wish. Well you want to see him. You know maybe get to a place where he's not backed in the near future and as you pointed is when you get to that place if that place you desire to you get a lot more freedom and more choice in you know maybe your career path as well so yeah best to him when final thing before we move on from that he. He's lucky that he was paying his bill perkins as well. 'cause perkins is one of the cast of people who Is is not gonna rub it in his face So you we have. We have seen other heads of beth. Let's get a lot more acrimonious odeon people throwing insults at each other perkins is not that kind of guy and so yeah shadowed perkins's all business the people who did joining the pylon. Obviously he was. One of the main. Instigators was jason mohan. Jason went off to dog. Poke is good friend to be on his first podcast back. I suppose you could put it that way. Don't focus back on the airwaves. And he is put into buckeyes which ason mo- with kevin rabbit joe. Who was the main coach. I think there was a few coaches in the mix. But i think you could call him his main coach and bill perkins himself so that was quite an interesting show. I did get a chance to watch it. See it from a few different angles. And but i suppose the big story around that way and we're gonna move maybe gentle segue over to the fact that do poke is back on the airwaves..

"Very unfair in my opinion Clearly the plugged on him by his backers. Which is there obstacle. Bigger within their rights to do but a lot of the speculation. Afterwards you know but what the reasons might have been beyond fatty fallen behind. The pace required seemed unnecessary. It seems to be one of those cases to me where the resentment or jealousy up towards Given how quickly. He had sort of entrusting to the line. Nice people were sort of waiting for an opportunity to you. Know kip is. Heels is where we in our under. Very familiar with dash That particular form of gregory as it's known 'em different cultures have different names for I think the the ozzy's referred to it as tall poppy syndrome. Where the top of the ones that got caught down the. I guess it's a human instinct but it's not particularly nice will in london is a young guy. I know from talking to people in his circle that he has always worked very very hard at his game. He's not all bluster and hype as along. People tried to suggest afterwards. So i thought it was unfair. I think he will come through this fine. Because he's the guy he's very resilient and this is essentially a car test dealing. I would say that jumps out for me is the whole culture poker's different now from when we started Back when we started staking was buried thing so everybody just kind of ground up themselves now. People are started going around looking to get back india's in staking and they kind. If only focus on the positives lajja thinking long on to be able to pay heights et cetera but the Obviously the problem is once you do. Get factor staked then you're essentially handing over control to to wherever the money's coming from w what happened here. I mean if london had been playing all in his own money. I have no doubt he would have gone mike the end but he he essentially had to pull the plug pulled Because he was backed yeah at one. Hundred percent actually had a quick chat with math burkey. who was one of his backers. I think actually on this challenge one of his minor backers and mask said he had most of his action in the outcome of the match sort of scenario so he was certain financially invested in a continuing because it was the only way he could win. Both he said thus landon absolutely would have gone on He actually feels like landon would have gone on even a hopeless cause just thinking it was a good character building exercise and you know he should learn an awful lot along the way at through. You know the the routine. The experience of maybe being down in brazil having to to to fight on. I also wanna push back on wound story. That kinda went around because there was a bit of a media..

"And somewhere along the line along the way i found poker and i found poker because like i said grown up poor i was always looking for ways out of poverty and i used to mess around with these get rich quick schemes that you see the late night.

So i i was out for like a year and then these rogue. Us site started the pup. You can play on as so. I kinda got back in and at that time the sitting does are kinda dead so that started me on the tournaments and So this is around two thousand twelve and in two thousand thirteen I was a member of tournament. Poker edge and andrew brokers is one of the pros on that site. And so that's how i met andrew and Met him for the first time in person in vegas in twenty thirteen to get on the pie. And i think you pretty much. The rest is history from beth. Wonderful story With i suppose you can say it's a happy ending but unique and of say happy endings. You choose to decide wending stop your life goes on. Maybe it'd be a second bracelet in a few weeks time. I wouldn't be surprised. And i could talk about this. Know you could do. But we have to move on to some far lesser stories. Frankly london teas quit his game against bill burr. Because i was going to go it actually happened just after we dropped the last episode but it still falls within the floor nice of stuff. We cover here landon through in the tail in his head after only forty nine hundred hands out of the twenty thousand hands playing hundred four hundred twice as team decided. I guess that he couldn't overcome the nine big blind handicapped given to perkins but what was kind of unusual eight or nine hundred hundred previously. He wasn't far off. Pace swings are pretty common. There's going to be variance in that format. Of course we saw lots of it in the granny poke match several months ago so it was strange for it to kind of have the plug pulled so quickly but obviously his backers and he was substantially backed decided. It just wasn't a profitable venture anymore on you know fan. Some ghetto close. I guess our. I suppose they always have the option to stop. Many in the community. Were very critical of london. I guess they should be critical of london on his team. Took the broom too. But i think and and i know was very downcast and posted that video to twitter that i'm sure a lot of people saw was very hard enough to feed a lot of sympathy for him. He was obviously finding it quite tough. Darrow you saw that video. What did you make of. yeah. I think he did. He did. He did. Take a quick guy on to be honest..

He's excitement was very real as well in the hours after the results. You tweeted the bracelets pretty cool. And the money's just gonna get thrown on the pile put staying on for twenty four hours to read all these great comments is priceless. What do you think it is about you that illicit such a genuine pure happy for you. Response everybody just loves the underdog story A lot of people who follow me. Kind of know my humble beginnings and how i got to this part to this point and how it wasn't you know a An easy grind for me. This is like you know a fifteen year overnight success so i think that's something that a lot of people can law Root for the ad certainly is darah. We are cynical pair of oldman put despite that. You have often made the point that w sap bracelets are a little bit special. They're not like an ordinary trophy. I think you've likened them to olympic medals at one point two can you expound on that yeah i think i mean the they the closest thing. We have to olympic medals. They're theory the best thing to have. It's it's still better than winning at. Wbz ernie p. t. m. it's just given the history of the event and you know it's the world series of poker. All the best carriers tend to go there. I mean there's been talk in recent years about how the number they give me out.

I'm andrew andrew the disturbing thinking poker time when you hear somebody Warn know something big even if you know them pretty well.

There's a famous story about a an irish lottery winner. Once who's asked is huge amount of money that you warn going to change you and he said no no one else you won't and they said well what about the begging because you know people who win authories the money sudden people start writing the big matters and he said. Don't worry keep the match in. Carol's don't really keep checking out of the rio. I think the price is too high. So this is this is just a feel. Good story all around everyb- everybody knows carlisle knows first of all he genuine deserves it. And secondly he won't be one of these sad cases that as it turns out to be the worst thing that ever happened to him. Turning back to you on bass i noticed.

After this a few days ago you took down the eight hundred as crazy through online event. Outlasting seven hundred eighty one other players to win yourself hundred twenty five grand on gold bracelets carlos you came into the final table relatively short stack you in a very big flip. I know quite early on with tens against as queen. Can you give us a quick summary of how things went from there That's actually a good question because my first thought was no 'cause every day has been a fall a brain fog since then. I do know that at some point. I wanna big hand calling Fifteen blind jammed from the small blind. And i'm the big blonde with a seven and i sucked out against as ten. So that gave me They kind of build my stake back up. I couldn't tell you of that was before the final table or not and then there was another wide open. Ace is under the gun and somewhat jab. Twenty twenty-five bigs only weighs king once again stated tournament. the money. I know it was pretty late but i don't know at what point of the final table that i built my stack backup from that. That small stack you saw. Are you still in the looking hotel room. I am in the same building different room but same building for sure figure room. I hope a room now. Actually smaller is actually smaller. Which which is owned brand for me. Yeah i mean. I listened to carlisle on the taking poker podcast on my on today and it was just afraid when the braces and he was still moving out of the rio for the weekend because You know the race up the weekend.

"Of spades five of hearts. So that's how you win a bracelet. That's definitely him all right. So we flop trips. This is certainly an above average flop far hand The big blind checks now Derek is any reason to not see that here. I mean We're gonna be betting this board a lot right. Yeah i can. I can sort of see some arguments. I guess for checking back the biggest being. It's really hard for him to have hit this board because we pretty much have it all of it But i think we're expected to see here so much that if we think that all competent we kind of expected to float these out with like two over or maybe like a pair of sixes or whatever So i think i still go ahead and bet. I'm trying to decide what i would do in terms of sizing because obviously we don't want to lose the guy. I guess the question is what do we do on the teheran. If we want to start thinking ahead. I would. I guess part of me is thinking like if we bet we can either check here and then at turn or we can kind of that here in check. Turn but i don't know if we can do both and get action get it all if you don't bet. Oh gee does of something. It's tough for to get at all. No you're right. Mark is probably going to be pretty hard to get it all anyway just because you know the s p r on this flop around five. It's pretty hard to get that many chips in under any circumstances especially on a flop of ten five rainbow i mean. How crazy is this guy going to go like even if he has like an as ten whatever like he's not gonna just be willing to put in like you know five times the pot without maybe as as ten he will be getting he would be getting all in at some point out. Yeah you may be right. You may be right about that carla. So many worst tens in his rains. That i think he'd have to get it in especially with nuts. But yeah you're right like that's. Vr is really high. But that's another reason. Why would bet. Because i over jam on the river. I mean depending on the turn a lot of times. I would check back other stomach. Full plan here is to get it all. But i definitely like betting for everything derek said i think he said a perfectly You agreed we're see betting everything here So yeah i wanna have a balance with air and stuff. Yeah sorry mark. I was just gonna say i think checking is actually more suspicious. Wait a minute why decarlo check that. I mean The flow right as queen loves the. You're going to bet most of your range on on a on a pear board like that. Kinda screams for a bet. The only reason check this back would be if like the guys turned. How do i remember this. I don't know if the guys turn What's it called to carlos. What's it called if you just leads us versus miss yvette. His if his lead versus mri is high using a hud. You you would want to check it back. In fact 'cause i he's assessed susceptible he's likely to punt right right. Yeah that's a good point. These are really aggressive player like that. That is something that Wrigley aggressive players will definitely do especially on boards..

"I'm just gonna open the same amount carlos to acts. I think that's fine especially because we do have to fold the small blind shove right mark. Yeah other option is limping. But i prefer open as well. Yeah i do i do. I was going to In fact like martin's wonder. I people that You know talked about this back in the day before salvors started to confirm it is that you can do a decent amount of limping When stacks start to get shallow but just in my study what solve over. The past couple of months is been is mostly wednesday tax saw round Fifteen bakes so even though the small bella and see how this could be a mistake making. I've never gotten a good answer to this question. I know if i have fifteen bakes i will have a pretty big limping range. Here as you know in terms of Gto but if i'm the big stack and there's a fifteen baked blind effective stack but then there's another guy who is also a biggest that my how do you decide lying Which stacks is you should open Relative to so one thing that i've just kinda done on my own. Which i again. I don't know if it's correct and i just kind of like take an average of the two players and so on average those guys have twenty bags so off a twenty big blind stacks neverland here. I'm just gonna go ahead and open but if both of those guys have fifteen. This is a hand. I wouldn't Interesting are jam if they both up fifteen jamming would be okay. Yes jamming might be scourged if they if they call too tight with most people do they guys especially knowing waddles like will reach. I'm like correct jamming. If they both had fifteen might be the plate. Whatever not in that situation limping kind of cool air because if the big blind does he's not he's not gonna it's like small blindfold. You can still call and be in position with a good. I mean overall. I'm going to be opening here. Same sizing so mark. You're saying if we limp here and the small blindfolds and the big blind decides to raise. You can call that raise in play six five in position because the big blind right. Yeah yeah i like that. Actually i i'm not. I don't hate limping here. Although i probably wouldn't do it I don't think he's a bad play Yeah especially for that reason. That markers mentioned all right cool but we make it Just the men raise here. We make it to k. and only the big blind call so the small blind whose name is waddles. Someone just mentioned big. Yeah he's been outed so you and the big blind call so we're going to be heads up. We have the six of diamonds five a diamond and with fifty five hundred in the middle. The the flop comes ten of clubs.

"Flush you mentioned maybe turning your hand into a bluff seduce case for for betting the river not betting. Because if i'm trying to bluff guy this point trying to bluff from off up and over pair and i don't think abet is going to be big enough to get that done. Even i guess i just like rip But i that seems a little bit suspicious to me also do still have a decent amount showdown value here. So i don't wanna i wanna preserve the equity of my Clean as king By checking here and benefit from the times it goes check check. And i win against king queen as queen as jack type hands Or even something like king queen off with the king of hearts like maybe that's a hand where the guy would better turn but basically. Yeah there's a lot of hands that i'm still ahead of So got a little equity preservation here. And i don't I still retain the option to blow off if i check because check raising his on the table. So you do check. He have pots it again. He's betting forty three fifty and eighty seven hundred. You have thirteen thousand seven hundred and sixty four binds so you've just a tad over three x his bat. I see here that you do decide. Turn the hand into into a bluff and shove it sounds like your objective. Here is to get him to fold. Like seventy eight or something. Yeah says as and Like those sorts of hands. I think if i were to just leave myself for like three three quarters pot or even pot i think they might find a call I think it's harder for people to find a call on a because you i mean. How many times have you said that on his podcast. People don't shake raise bluff. The river often enough. So i know. If i'm a villain shoes and i'm sitting there with like seventy eight i even if i have a hard my hand. I'll say this is probably supposed to be called hashtag. They always have it. And then i'm gonna fold in that spot where way more likely to bluff cats versus like three-quarters pilot or something. Now i will say this. The reason people don't check is bluff enough on the river is that people don't thought enough on true but this is a you know a two fifty on wwl dot com. Which honestly. I tried to play closer to theory on this site. Because you can actually look these people up in a lot of these people as opposed to Boulevard which is what i normally play on I can see if these players are reasonable. Not and i would say will be. Larger percentage of the players on wwlp dot com in the highest stakes are reasonable enough candidates where this becomes possible..
