Agree that losing at chess is miserable.

Disagree that the luck factor makes losing at poker worse. That creates incredible plausible deniability that keep my delusions of grandeur entirely intact.

You do you, stick to your tried-and-true approach of giving boilerplate advice you learned in the beginner's circle 10 years ago and you should be able to bang through some responses in short order!

Hi everyone. I discussed actual poker strategy quite a bit on this forum today, which feels a little bit in poor taste. Back to shitposting to me, sorry everyone!

Tournament survival is a little overrated except for some brief phases and situations around the bubble and when there are big pay jumps and you have a vulnerable stack.

From the time that late...

BTN should be opening 50-100% wider than you suggest, and your BB defense should be enormously wider against a reasonable raise size, even in a high rake game.

From the BB, you should aim for...

I'm glad you were able to get this off your chest, but I think you already knew what the right answer was.

Sims can't make up their goddamn minds when it comes to flops with broadway straights. They'll range bet half of them and then bet low frequency on some you'd think are quite good for you. Sizes are...

You just gotta call while fighting back a yawn in these spots, particularly with these sizes.

Your ranges for a 3b from SB are way off, at least in theory. They should be playing (basically) 3b or...

So a full-house that unblocks Tx is going to go in our most aggressive bucket, and if there's any board where we're playing a merged strat on it's TT3r IP BUvCO (there are literally no draws here)....

Hand's played well, but maybe not reasoned super well. In a vacuum, this particular combo prefers a check but JJ4r is just so good for the aggressor that we just depolarize, even for this large of a...

Pre and flop are good, though flop is a bit large (see my other posts on this).

Turn is too thin. 3 bet pots are all about that ace, bout that ace, and how good your kicker is determines how many...

I'm going cold 4b or fold when OOP to the 3!er, and JJ is around the bottom of that range HJvCOvBB. (Although this is dependent on players' exact frequencies; this is where specific HUD numbers would...

TT is the bottom of my 100% 3b range BTN vs BB. In the small blind I have to think it's pretty much a mandatory 3b.

Flop is fine at some percentage. You should be flatting close to 50% of the time...

There's no clear answer in theory. You call some, you fold some.

Against a fish, I think when they check a card that makes the board heavier and then bet hard on a dry card that skews a little...

Pocket pairs play the most differentially depending on stack sizes, especially baby pocket pairs.

They are among the most likely hand to fold as the best hand to postflop aggression (ie: not...

In theory, you should bluff catch some percent of the time and blocking AQ and KQ makes this hand as good as any.

Whether you actually have to pay players off in this spot in your games is another...

There's some merit in raising some percent of the time here, but this hand overwhelmingly prefers to call and realize its equity. You can think about turning it into a bluff in some spots OTR, but...

Heeey, a poster I recognize! Welcome back, Vinland!

TP2K is right on the borderline for going for 3 streets of value in a 3bp BTNvBB. It should be some and x/{bluff catch} some. (Same goes for the...

any tips on how to casually bring up the fact that you're the current "stop bumping old threads" record holder in everyday conversation?

damn, blast from the past. glhf! hmu if you want to chat poker.

I was reading this thread from the bottom up, so I thought all this talk about fire drills was just a really over-drawn, tortured metaphor.

Also: hi, folks.

Just saw this on /r/poker:

Please tell me this isn't true.
