So I just found out that the poker player I most want to be like, Nanonoko, started making videos on http://strategy.pokernews.com.  I'm not referring to style of play, but just the fact that he makes $100K practically every month playing similar to slightly higher stakes as I play.  That is basically a graph of like 90+% of his hands.  He plays up to 24 tables at a time and so over the same time span, he's played twice as many hands as I have and his win rate is twice as high as mine.  But I think I can get here.  Or at least somewhere close.

I definitely don't think I can play as many hands as he does.  I used to play up to 16 full ring tables at a time, but I can't play more than 10-12 6 max tables at a time.  I have no idea how he can play 20-24 6 max tables at a time.  Such fast hands - he must be a hit with the ladies.  Ummm... Don't want to go further - let's move on.  He has a web site, if you guys are bored:  www.randylew.com

It looks like the site just opened up this month, as there are no videos before June 1.  I don't know all the big names in the other poker disciplines, like HU, PLO, Limit, and MTTs, but the other bios seem decent.  Anyway, in case you are super bored, check it out.  I would say Nano's videos were decent, but not great.  But it's hard to say, after watching only 1.5 hours of live play video footage.  Live video only lets you discuss a topic for a short period of time (because you're playing other hands), so it's hard to get too in-depth.

  1. DC's Deuce Plays podcast had a pretty interesting interview with him. You might want to check it out if you haven't already. Interesting (or maybe not) that he went to college not too far from where I live.

    On the mass multitabling thing...I don't get how any of you guys do it and expect to be able to have any kind of reads =). The sweet spot for me would be crushing slightly higher stakes and getting in maybe 20 hours a week. Maybe I'm too lazy for this?

  2. I'll address my thoughts on multitabling in a future post. 20 hours a week is being a workaholic compared to some of the SSFR guys. :-)

  3. "I'll address my thoughts on multitabling in a future post." this, please. I can comfortably play 6-7 tables, but 9+ = disaster with my non-sd winnings = bye-bye profit

  4. I'm currently at 6-8 as a comfort level. Tableninja helps a ton tho, you don't even need to touch the mouse unless your changing your bet ammount for a specific situation.
