This probably won't last too long, as it's been pulled from youtube a bunch, but until then a little Bob James: Nautilus

EP 2 & 3 and my theorem

Since last update, episode two and three of In a Nutshell have come out and I'm generally happy with both. Both have some great content, two focuses on full ring and three focuses on 6 max. Overall I'd say three is better than two due to my level of comfort, as episode three was originally episode four.

We recorded half of a blackboard video for ep two, with plans to pull up some hand histories to discuss. We ended up narrating the live play video for episode four, but it then got pretty late and it was a long trip home, so we didn't get back to finishing episode three because danzasmack caught a nasty cold. I hope to still be able to reuse the recorded material from the original ep three as I think there was some great content.

My Theorem

I've been thinking about this for quite some time, but wasn't sure whether I wanted to post it, but then decided I didn't care, so here goes. It's similar in principle to Zeebo's Theorem, but it relates to O8 and it's two parts.

Part one: Bad players will never fold a nut low, ever. This part is pretty obvious imo, but sort of leads into part two.

Part two: Nobody will ever fold a nut low that isn't A2. A lot of good players will fold A2. Almost none will fold 23, A4, etc. I'll give a couple of examples. 357h flop, a good player will often fold bare A2. Make that flop A27h, they won't fold bare 34.

That's it. Nothing crazy, but pretty static imo.
