Title: Re: 10 for 10: Martin Jacobson WSOP 2014 Main Event - Official Documentary Trailer Post by: cambridgealex on April 21, 2015, 01:47:52 AM By far? Greg Merson? Didn't necesarily mean ability wise, though he probs is. Just best champion. Most likeable, deserving? Memorable. All the rest are kinda forgetable imo, mostly by their own doing (disappearing post wsop I mean). Not blaming them, Id probably do the same. Just really liked Jacobsen Title: Re: 10 for 10: Martin Jacobson WSOP 2014 Main Event - Official Documentary Trailer Post by: pleno1 on April 21, 2015, 07:15:23 AM Recently begged him for coaching.
Thought about this a lot and it's definitely the best way to learn. He and 8'guus did 100+ simulations of the final table with varying stack sizes and progressions of the tournament and spoke about every spot and all of them were already hsmtt players. I would say this very likely makes them 9 of the best 20 or so players in the world at the moment it's really such a sick thing and I'm not sure why people don't study like this, maybe it's seen as geeky or something but it's probaby more enjoyable than watching a video or something. Really agree with alex and think he is the goat.

Really agree with alex and think he is the goat. In a way, this isn't completely novel. I recall reading a story about Doyle Brunson and another player (I can't remember who, but likely one of his mid-west travelling companions like Sailor Roberts or Amarillo Slim) spending nights in motel rooms playing out different hands. They would work out the odds for different scenarios by hand, essentially, as there was no other way of doing so. Given this would have been fifty years ago, it's hard to compare that to the depth of analysis in the modern day, but it was something others weren't doing and it gave them an edge. No different to chess, in that respect: fifty years ago, players kept notes upon notes upon notes in books and built a database over time to analyse lines, positions and tactics. Now, I can get an app on my smartphone that pretty much crushes anyone in the world.

Think his presence is incredible.

Really agree with alex and think he is the goat. I think JCarver did this one year with one of the main event guys. I can't recall who it was now (the guy didn't win), but I can't believe more don't take this aproach and just wing it. Also agree he is a likeable guy and very sick player. Excited to see the full release of this Title: Re: 10 for 10: Martin Jacobson WSOP 2014 Main Event - Official Documentary Trailer Post by: Doobs on April 22, 2015, 11:27:55 AM Why is it called 10 for 10 and why are they chanting it? I guess it must be something to do with $10m, but that only getsd me half way there.
Title: Re: 10 for 10: Martin Jacobson WSOP 2014 Main Event - Official Documentary Trailer Post by: degston77 on April 22, 2015, 04:45:51 PM pretty sure he won with pocket 10s. and may have even flopped another 10.
looking forward to this documentary. loved the nosebleed doc that was released last year too.

I guess it must be something to do with $10m, but that only getsd me half way there. Tens vs a8? Ftw all in pre and crowd chanted t for t. He hit a ten on the flop and the rest is history.

Now, I can get an app on my smartphone that pretty much crushes anyone in the world. It was Doyle and Amarillo Slim. You are totally right, for the time what they did was like what Jacobson did here. Lots and lots of November Niners have done these simulations, I know of at least three from last year's final table alone, but as Pleno said Jacobson probably had the best sparring partners. I'd been writing about Jacobson for years as the best player in the world without a title, deffo the best player to ever win the Main Event. Merson was also very good and worth noting he won POY and the Six Max in the same series. |
