Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy to you and Emilia Jeff, it's an amazing feeling I was lucky enough to experience twice, cherish the time you all spend together, they grow up far too quickly!

Yes! Thank you so much. I can imagine & already I see him growing!

[Jeff Gross]

wow and back here already, amazing dedication sir
that makes for a great daddy too, wishing you and yours a great life.

: ) Thank you again for the kind words!

happy to hear that advice as I've been considering adding that to my range for a long time.
I get beat by it so often even with premium hands that it started to look better.
of course, I play it in the right circumstances but won't be ramping that up now

: ) Thank you again for the kind words!

Hey! Thank you for the support; That must be a tournament! I do play for real money; those are chips not cash though!

Hi Jeff,
Im a beginning player just starting to improve. Ive been playing online since the end of January. Im studying a lot. I am about to win $100 tournament money at pokerstars School for the monthly Initiation Tournament Leaderboard. I do ok but not great in small field tournaments, but not so good in large field or ring games. What would be your suggestion on how I should play my T$100.
Ive never deposited and dont plan to so I need to pick my stakes and games carefully. I have $105 spread between 3 other sites from freerolls. So I will use your suggestions with that money too. So far Ive just been playing freerolls and $.10 ..360 player SnGs. Ive had limited success with those.
Any suggestions will be welcomed as to what stakes and games as well as any information as to the best places for info to further my studies.
Thanks in advance.

Congrats! Babies give us a new and different outlook on the world, at least mine has for me. Congrats!

In what way could we change the game of poker, to consequently remove some of the variance without hurting the game itself?

Consequently remove variance?
Grab a dictionary- or use the internet- cause books with pages ...
They're heavy.
Dry.
Wet? jeez!

What are the consequences of less variance.

If you had to summarize your question... how would you do it?

Peas are yellow- but really green and...... I want them blue. cause that tastes better? Yes!

Or do superfluous, serendipitous, words stung amuse?

Play live. And/Or on a non-WPN site. And play lots of hands.
Poker's way better when played for real

Hahaha. up late and kinda high.... but man.

Jeff-you could have fun with this? huh.
How to change the game?

hmmm.
let's c.
heard of variations besides NLH?
IDK-
Omaha.
Stud.
Razz
baseball
midnight baseball
pineapple
grapefruit
monopoly
hungry hungry hippos (gotta smash!)
...Sorry (that's a game too - popper in the middle)
what's that other game???
oh yeah- LIFE!
let's rework that too.



congrats on the baby.

i'm a guy too
i've made a few babies... soooo easy. and fun

totally painless.

thing that shocked me the most. The doc hands ya the surgical sharp scissors to cut the cord..
I think. Cool easy- ... but dam. it's like cutting a pinky finger off.
stiff, tough. crunch.

IDK- I've snipped a few now. But first time I did. I was surprised how tough they are.
So-- change poker to have less variance- and tenderize umbilical cords.
Please.
:smokin:

Fulltime Schedule

Hi Jeff!

Don't know if you are going to read this post but its worth a shot.

What kind of work/poker schedule do you use? I am trying out different full-time grinding schedules and was wondering what you would suggest? I have a lot of spare time at the moment and am looking to make the most of it.

I am talking about the entire week here, with working out and leaving enough time for activities like housekeeping.


Looking forward to the stream!

Hi Jeff...

Best poker book ever?

 

[Jay Pee]

Stone bubbling the Alpha 8 100k buy in tournament in South Africa.. The turn out was small, only 10 total entrants w/ some of the games best. I was 1/4 and 3 paid. I took 3rd when the local amateur was super short 4 handed. Jungleman, Mercier & I were basically locked in to cash w/ min cash $200,000 and winner $500,000. I ended up shoving on Jungleman's open w/ A8o 4 handed because I knew he would just be opening any spot as the current leader.. he ended up calling off w/ 88 and I was at risk and took 4th for $0. The crazy part was mercier had A9o in the BB and would have shoved and busted he had less chips then me as well. This was an ICM suicide and I got punished for it. Throw in that at the time, Atlanta to Joburg was the longest flight in the World! It was not a fun trip home but valuable lessons learned!

First off, congratualtions on becoming a father
Wishing you, your wife and baby boy all the best!

Yeah there is no such thing as mistakes, only lessons to be learned.

I really enjoy watching your vlogs.

But one thing crossed my mind everytime Emilia was on it.
I know this is very personal stuff, but how do you talk to your wife ?

She doesn't seem to speak fluent english, and I think you don't speak fluent portuguese.

sorry for being nosey (not really that sorry

Doubt

Good afternoon, my name is Jorge and I've been playing poker for 8 months, I'm very interested in joining or getting into a poker game.
As I do to join a poker team, my goal is to acquire knowledge.
I'm from the City of Rio de Janeiro.
What is your tip, for me to read a poker book, which explains MTTs?

Hello! Yes I am connected here of course! I have been playing since I was 15 years old; 32 years old now. Discipline, bank roll management are most important to me. I would suggest RYE to study poker; I have banners on my website. JeffGrossPoker.com/affiliaton for this program.
