Strategy with Kristy: Ryan D’Angelo Discusses Tourney Concepts

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.

GI Joe Assaults Online Poker, Refrigerated Beer, Noobs

GI Joe Assaults Online Poker, Refrigerated Beer, Noobs
published on 03/18/11 at 7:09 am Angel Valdez is working towards the American dream. By waking up at noon, cracking opening a PBR, and giving online poker a shot full-time. We talk to the recently unemployed McDonalds cashier, now full time poker player and owner of the Online Poker Team (OPT) to see what he is all about. Special interviewer, Street3, makes an appearance to ask a few of his own questions. What is the background on your twitter name, GI Joe Valdez? Big into kids and toys? Was Snake Eyes the coolest Joe? Why not the nickname, El Burro?I was in the Army for 8 years and was pretty crazy. One time one of the older guys said slow your roll gijoe and take it easy and it stuck since then some called me gijoe. After I got out of the Army I created an email with that name. Nothing glorious about it but it has stuck. Now most people that dont know my real name call me Joe. Why did you start the OPT?Other players and I used to be a part of another online poker team but they were jerks when it came time to play. If you lost they were all over you, and put a lot of pressure for you to finish out your allotment. Talked to a couple of other unhappy players and they suggested I start my own. I did and took it from there. I made it a lot of fun to be a part of this team with zero drama and been very lucky so far. Has this endeavor been profitable?The OPT: Yes, when we first started The OPT share were sold at $5 each. Now they are close to $6, and when we started I begged players to join we now have a waiting list and its not as easy to get in.Full time poker pro: Im on day 3 and if I continue min cashing in this fashion I will be broke sooner then 2 weeks. What are your plans if you do not find a job when your bankroll runs out next week?I been lucky to have made a lot of final tables in my online poker career so I paid close attention to all the rail beggars. Noted all their sappy questions and how they get players to ship them money. Its better then standing by the freeway with a sign. I can beg from home. Just open up a final table and go to work. If you were a pro who would you like to sponsor you?Some whale that doesnt care if they lose money. Mike Matusow is probably the biggest candidate. Ive seen him stake some really bad players in the Main event so I figured I cant do any worse. What is the square root of 9?There is a square in 9? Had to Google that. 3 it says. What is your favorite poker game? Cash/tourney? The most you have ever won and lost?Favorite game are Super Turbos MTT, 2nd favorite are Rush games, 3rd are deepstack/double stack MTTs. I dont play cash games at all, but when I have Ive done pretty well. The most I have won in an MTT has been $3300 on Pokerstars, and $2200 several times on Fulltilt. The most Ive lost in an MTT online was $110 and in cash game $77 I think. Live game I spent $125 to play a sat which I won. That gave me $1100 to play a wsopc event. I didnt cash so that sucked. Im a bankroll nit so Noob Was it a good or bad decision, on my part, to allow Street3 into this interview? Explain this.Its always good to let Street3 into any conversation with you. He will make you look good. You could be picking your nose live on TV and no one will notice anything but his big forehead. See attached pic space is available for advertisement on his forehead so he says Check/Call or Bet/Fold? Why?Both.Check/call: when using pot control. If you have top pair and weak kicker or fear other player flopped bigger hand.Bet/fold: is what I use when in agro mode and I use it vs any number of opponents. You get so much information by throwing out a bet. At best they all fold or 1 calls the rest fold, and at worse case scenario they all fold and 1 re-raises you, or they all call. What piece of advice would you give a first time online poker player?Dont get started. QUIT! Turn around and go play checkers. But if he really doesnt like that advice I suggest getting some proper training or a solid coach, read up on the game, have a nice bankroll to back you up, set your priorities, and stick to a routine. Ive seen a lot of players go on tilt in poker but it doesnt stop there. Usually that carries across there other parts of their life and they crash and burn. There are a lot of stories on the news about gamblers robbing some casino, held up another player, or held up a bank or convenience store. If you arent patient in life you will definitely not succeed in poker. While this game skill has 70% of chance the other 30% is lady lucks doing and shes a cold hart bitch. If you arent ready for the losses or cant handle it then dont get started. This game is filled with skilled and solid players, and it takes time for a noob to get there. This game can be a lot of fun just dont let it get you down. Related posts: Online Poker Player Plays His Cards Close To The Vest Black Friday Saves One Players Money & Relationship

Truth about Small Buy-in Poker Tournaments
Unlike many poker games, poker players can stride out of the casino as winners. That is because, unlike many casino games, poker players play against each other and not against the house. Despite this advantage, poker players should not immediately join small brick-and-mortar tournaments and purchase buy-ins. While you aim to win big, certain aspects [...]

Phil Hellmuth dodges 12th bracelet
After Richard Ashby was eliminated in 3rd place, Phil Hellmuth would go heads up with John Juanda for the bracelet. Juanda in my opinion, is the one of the most under rated poker pros. He slips under the radar with his humble tone contrasting the ostentatious Phil Hellmuth. All of [...]
