Yeah the part about brewer running good having a backer. That's one thing that's crucial to play big - I've beat 5 10 10 20 and 25 50 for several years in Vegas and never been able to obtain a backer for tournaments played 25000+ Mtts post black friday but without a backer I don't play a full schedule , which is needed to overcome variance in mtts. @gtolab @joeingram1
Thank you thank you, this is awesome, Nick is one of the most thoughtful and articulate guys who are playing at the highest levels of the game. And something that sets him apart from a lot of the other top players as far as the rest of us are concerned is that he is such a fantastic teacher of reasonably high level poker concepts. I call him the Poker Professor ♦️♠️
Good stuff. I used to think I was carefree but I do dwell on punts too much too. Surprised the dolphin trainer doesn't like tool. Leaving for Vegas tomorrow, gonna win a bracelet this year! Gg n gl out there!

I think the player I admire the most is Chris Brewer because I saw how many bad beats he took and still kept going. Also he got his start playing at my home casino.
At 45:41 , Nick says "hands that are now indifferent between F & R vs b25" At 45:52 , Nick says "indifferent between C & R" vs b25 It's the latter what he meant to say at the former, right?
This may be a noob comment, but why was there no discussion about his KJ river call? Is it that obv a call? He has one pair bad kicker on straighty board. Not even a thought of a fold? I see that Nick thinks it is a bad bluff holding 66, but a little discussion on why it was an EZ call for KJ would have been helpful.
First, K isn't a bad kicker. Even though it's a "straighty" board, the only straight combo that's flatting LJ pre would be KQ, so it's a tiny part of his range, and sets would likely want to be getting more money in on earlier streets (specifically turn) with such a high SPR. Kj is still a really strong hand on this node
Play more til it evens out. If you play mtts and cant handle it switch to cash. I did as mtts are nutty as your yearly comes down t flips way too often.

Good stuff guys! Crazy how the high roller fields have changed in just a few years. I wonder how much card up livestreams contributed to that.
Nice podcast, I really liked the questions
Great discussion here!
Shocked at the NIMBY thing.
We need an episode with Michael Addamo
Thats gonna be great 80 min of insights
Great podcast!

He coolered Kulev's aces with kings

Thank you 🙏
At 45:41 , Nick says "hands that are now indifferent between F & R vs b25"
At 45:52 , Nick says "indifferent between C & R" vs b25
It's the latter what he meant to say at the former, right?
Right
Trying to find the j 8 ike hand with no luck. Any links?
We don’t have it in this podcast. It was in a Triton, but don’t recall which one on the fly.
Separate video with Ike breaking it down coming out in about a week
Yupp this is the real deal type talk.
Sober is such an amazing Tool song
What novel is 'All Friends'? I can't find it, thanks to anyone who can help
It is “all the king's men” by Robert Warren
