I played one of the tournaments and didn't do so well. I have been playing in PLO at cash games too, and that's been a little more successful. It's a fun game. I always tell myself, after every World Series, that I want to learn mixed games, so I can play in them. Maybe, this will be the year.
We'll see. Carl C.: Good deal. "A 500 Pound Gorrilla" asked; "Which one skill or technique do you think you possess over your standard opposition?". Max Steinberg: One technique ... I would just say, I understand strategy better than most people that I play with. I just think that at any given table I'll be the most strategically sound player there. That can go a long way. Someone can have more talent and ability to read someone, but if my strategy is just superior to theirs than it's about playing better. Carl C.: Hello. Can you hear me check this website? It keeps locking up here every once in a while. Just a couple more questions, here. You talked about this earlier, but "FoulMan" asked; "Approximately, how often a physical tell a factor when you make a decision?" Max Steinberg: Sometimes, I think, it's too much of a factor for me. It, sort of, overwhelms me; taking in so much information. Sometimes, I get lost in the hand thinking about ranges and I, sort of, get infatuated with whether someone is physically doing something that makes me think they're strong or weak. It can be really big. I would say, it changes my decision 25-30% of the time, when I'm playing. Carl C.: That is a pretty big percentage. Max Steinberg: I thought about it a lot and I've read books on psychology. I really think it's incredibly important and I value it a lot. Here's one live read that I used, which I think is a really, really good read-especially, in a tournament. If you're in position on a pre-flop raiser and he sees that you called the flop and the turn comes some card, doesn't matter what card. He thinks for a while and then checks. I would say, that that, usually, pretty big weakness because I would assume that if he's thinking about it and then checking he's thinking about bluffing and deciding not to, and checking. A quick check there would mean he has a plan. Usually, a [inaudible 00:29:06.11] Carl C.: Cool, that's good advice, then. I guess that goes without saying. It's so important to take time, 5,10 seconds before your actions. Max Steinberg: Yeah. Well, everyone I tell that to says; "All right, next time I play with you, I'm going to [the turn 00:29:27.03], I'm going to barrel off Yeah, but most people just don't do it. Carl C.: "FoulMan" also asked; "Who the number 1 in the world is?" Max Steinberg: That would be Danny, my twin brother. Carl C.: Yeah, so you were born second, then? Max Steinberg: Yeah, I was born second. That's part of a joke. Carl C.: "KingNat" wants to know what your drink of choice is at the table. Max Steinberg: BV and water. Carl C.: I thought this one, here, was interesting. "KingNat" asked; "What is your breakdown of political leanings among professional poker players?" So, like, Democratic, Republican, or liberal, or conservative? Max Steinberg: I would say ... I don't know. I know a lot of players who are extremely liberal. I would say most of the players are conservative or, sort of, in the Ron Paul conservative wing of conservatism, which is extremely right-wing, and extremely libertarian. I would say, I don't know. I guess it would be half and half, half liberal and half are libertarian-conservative. Carl C.: Interview with us, and this is "givememyleg" from Flop Turn River.com and if you visit Flop Turn River, you can talk to the one and only-Max Steinberg whenever he's on. Max Steinberg: Yeah, so we might have to change my screen name, though, Numbr1intheworld, now. Carl C.: You got the Bracelet, so you're Number 1? Is that how it goes? Max Steinberg: Possibly, possibly. We'll see. Carl C.: I hope you have a good main event and rest of the Series.
