Oh wait, it's on merge.
Found an old screenshot that kind of illustrates a major point. How often do you see a hh post that goes something like "villain is 15/11 over 300 hands, no reads." - WHAT? How can you not have player notes after 300 hands? I think this is a serious leak that people are underestimating. You don't need to be in a hand to take a player note. You don't even need a hand to go to showdown.

If you don't play FT: the green triangles indicate player notes. I'm not going to mention names, but there are three guys on this table that I play against purely based on history and notes - the stats are worthless except for their pf opening range, because they don't play against me like they do against anyone else, and they don't play against other regs the same way either. If you look at their stats and go: lol FR nit. Don't worry, I got this! You will spend a long time sitting there, looking at the cashier wondering where your money went.
color coding notes for different player types helps table selection fwiw
of course nino, anom, and redeye play different against you. You're different. Eastxlad will always play the same against you, me, etc
lol merge
whats your SN on cereus
Didn't mean red cos we don't really have much history ;)
About table selection: I don't really table select. I just get on all PL and deep tables and go from there. Table rejection is maybe more accurate. I'll just play there for a while and leave when it's not worth it.
Color coding should be a good idea, but on FT you can read the player notes from the lobby, plus HEM loads the stats as soon as you open a table, so that's really useful as well.
I also got my Black Card today, and omg is it sexy. Daven maybe you can report back how good it really is, and maybe I'll move back to tilt in January to keep it.
I don't play on cereus m2m.
lol i remember u showing me that pic before. i left ft for stars though (just hit supernova). how are the 50/100pl games on there now?
Nope. Oskar is a Boss guy imo.Quote:

I can't be bothered to look it up, but it went:
I open JTo in late mp, unnkown minraises IP, I call. flop is T8x mono giving me a flushdraw, villain bets 1/2P, I call. Turn bricks, I check and now he overbets pot slightly. about $35 into $32. He has $45 left.
I have him on KK+ at this point almost exclusively, and I kind of want to discount AA with the nfd (which as it turned out was what he had). If I can somewhat discount flushdraws it's an ldo call, and that's what my thought process was in the hand: I have 14 outs to beat KK+ without a flushdraw. I get slightly less than 2:1, I need slightly more than 2:1... Still the amount I have to make on the river to even it out should be around 1/10th pot. 9/44 I won't make anything and 5/44 I should make $45 pretty easily. And tbh I was going to jam flushes as well, which as it turned out would have been disastrous.
Anyway, I wanted to figure out how much I need to make on the river with 2pr or trips in the same situation if we were deep and his range is KK+ without weighting for or against flush cards in his range.
I'm not gonna type that out cos I figure I've already lost everyone, but it's about 125% pot on the river.
So remember this kids: if you equity split 9/45 and can vbet 5/45 against an overbet on the turn, you need to make 125% pot on the river to justify the turn call.
Sooo I guess I'll be smarter than that next time.. or put people on better ranges.
yea watching you play that hand I think my chin hit the desk when you called turn. I have 14 outs, uh.. mebbe. He shows AdAx. Stacking flushes ends up being breakeven since half time he has a better flush + thats assuming he always calls on 4 flush board which is probably safe to assume. Oh, wow, you already wrote what I'm trying to write.. damn.Quote:

I would be more likely to fold the turn if he bets 1/2 pot or something gay like that. I still don't think it's absolutely terrible. Even if I only get his stack when I make 2 pair, it's only about -10bb ish in EV. As soon as I can weight his range to non-flush overpairs it becomes +EV.

I like how it looks permanently worried and surprised.
but 90's to 00's budget to midrange cars were absolutely dreadful and only recently they've been picking up again. Too recently to find cheap used ones. - The Volvo XC70 for example looks amaaaaaaaaaaaazing[/vibrato]. What I'm really hoping to find is a used bottom-of-the-line Dacio Sandero. When I heard that you could get one without servo amplifier if you insisted I immediately fell in love. The first car I ever drove was my mom's Mitsubishi Colt without a servo. If you have never driven one without: ofc it's a lot harder to park, but once you get rolling the steering is lighter than in cars with servos... this gets worse when they add artificial resistance at speed for 'safety' reasons. That doesn't necessarily mean that I will get one without, but I will definitely try to get one to test drive.
Plus if you check ebay for spare part prices you will jizz your pants.
I think they are fairly good looking as well.

Are they fkin serious? What kind of sicko designed this?
Anyway I'm working on my own way of explaining poker to people with zero knowledge about the game. I'm driving to work with a friend every day. That gives me 15min. a day to try and explain poker to him. I started off by explaining coinflips, then coinflips with multi-sided coins (aka dice) and variable bet sizing. We're slowly working our way up to one-street poker games with a limited number of cards in the deck to make combinatorics accessible. I think it's working well. I don't really want to bother with any of that what cards to play from what position nonsense and just teach him how to think about the game.
I'll report back on that :)
He had a baby a couple of weeks back, so I guess I'll report back on that in 18 years or so.Quote:

Goal for this month is grinding around 5h a day.
And btw fuck the strategy nonsense. Who gives a shit. The people want results and brag posts, right?

9-bets on the flop are always bluffs, he knew that.
Well, you got there in the end...nh
Good news: I'm exactly on target with 30k hands and 50h on the month. Bad news: breaking even at lolNL. Good News: rakeback ftw
Play better. Run better (not vs me). Win 5pt. Kthx.Quote:

as for what 30k hands look like (32hrs), i'm also glad i'm clearing a big bonus
(clearing at almost 2ptBB/100!) that isn't affecting MGR + cashed the ironman tourney + etc. And lol-obviously i didn't stay 12bi up yesterday....

I'm bluffing you way less than you think. I've made some pretty redonculous laydowns against you cos I think the day tptk is good against your c/c, donk turn range when you have initiative, it's white christmas in hell. Plus I still don't believe you have a semi bluffing range on KJx rainbow when you call my mp2 open or whatever it was.
noted. You're probably right. no white xmas down here in nzQuote:
