Mickey Crimm on Gambling With an Edge - 25 APR 2019
Excellent interview Mickey. So when are you gonna start uploading videos to youtube? You don’t have to show your face if you want to stay incognito. Youtube gives you a share of the ad revenue. Bikeking19 was doing it for a while, for an example, but I think he ran into a down streak bigger than his bankroll, it happens. WizardofOdds does it. Gambling with an Edge but audio only. Of course Dan Bilzerian does it but that’s probably a hard act to follow. I don’t do it yet, so don’t know the details, but it must be easy with a smartphone, even tweakers do it (search tweaker nation).
Thanks, NOTI. I’m a dinasaur when it comes to electronics but I’m willing to try to learn. I just bought an iphone for the first time. Perhaps I can learn how to record video. Then I would have to learn how to upload it to youtube. I’ll work on it in my spare time maybe sending videos to my friends for practice.
A couple things about the interview. I said weather was not a factor then afterwards did remember one incident. One year it was December in Kalispell. The weather had been great, not one snowflake on the ground. I hadn’t seen a weather report in a few days. I wake up in the morning, get cleaned up and ready to attack the casinos. I opened the door and everything was covered in two feet of snow. That DID slow me down for a couple of days.
And Zone Poker on Bovada. Its fun because there is no down time. When you fold a hand or a hand is completed you are automatically moved to a new table and dealt another hand. So you are looking at about 250 hands per hour. To me it beats multi-tabling. Now as open raise stealing goes. On Bovada you don’t have a username at the table so no one knows who you are and no one can bum hunt. When you are moved to a new table and are on the button it’s pretty much raise with anything instead of folding. The players in the blinds have no clue who you and if you have a history of stealing.

I think I’d minraise everything and continuation bet the flop, you might need slightly more than a minraise to keep the blinds from autocalling and if the blinds are capable of bluff raising you probably need some initial folding range, maybe the bottom 15% or so.
