  • @ShadowOfCicero

    When you mention "women in poker" and "aggression", two things came to mind.
    1. Gary Carson devoted an entire chapter of his 2001 "The Complete Guide to Hold 'Em" to women in poker, mostly focusing in on how women could best exploit the "underestimate me" side of the ball. He also did throw in a line that successful women in poker tended to play more aggressive than their male counterparts. So it's at least been discussed.
    2. Annette Obrestad, particularly the 2010 National Heads-up Poker Championship. While more aggression MIGHT be overcompensation, it might just also be pressing every possible advantage. She annihilated Phil Hellmuth, and though she lost to Doyle Brunson, Brunson stated that he'd felt outplayed. (Carson also warned in his book that if you played the way he told you to, the most likely reputation you'd get is that of a maniac.)

    I've watched Daniel for maybe a decade now... 10:59 Is one the the most accidently funny and brutally honest things I have ever heard from him; not that he isn't always honest. However, he is almost always a humble and nice guy until provoked. So, to hear him actually say, "This idiot just costed me big time and he has no shot.", was quite a pleasant surprise for me.

    Botez’s tell is that when she flopped two pair, her face changed from a laugh to a stern facial expression. Don’t forget she was contemplating a 3-bet post-flop which would indicate she had at least an ace in the hole. The few last hands she played, when she didn’t have anything, she checked nonchalantly.

    The live tell Daniel told us to comment about: She looks at the flop and the smile slowly fades off her face to reveal a more stoic nature. She then glances down, but I can’t really tell if it’s a chip glance or not, def could be. I play with a guy who’s always super talkative and laid back at the table but every time he has a big hand he shuts up and sits up in his chair, this reminded me of that tell.

    Thanks a lot, i'm a great fan since like ten years of DNegs, and think the best of Alex. You are the two players who changed my view on chess (ho yes and the Queen's Gambit series too :)
    What is really lacking, is a display of the stacks.Or at least please give sometimes a clear image of them and the chip color code at the beginning...
    That's like watching a film, but all the dialog from one of the main characters are missing, you really miss a point, i mean !
    Also, would be glad to know what are the stakes (the chip/$ ratio is not really important, my guess is that when you invite someone to create vidéo content, you wont take money from him in the filmed game. I think of a "keep what you won, but no loss" or maybe loss divided by some factor, but wins 1:1....
    Unsure if my curiosity will be understood (sorry for the spooky language, i'm french) but at least, SHOW US THE STACKS PLEASE ! ❤❤🤩
