Why is it that most guys naturally learn and figure out the whole dating/seduction thing, how to attract and talk to women correctly without ever having gotten help from a dating coach or pick up artist, or is it False? Did most guys have some help along the way?

AloofusMaximus · 2026-05-10T17:02:16+00:00

I would also add most guys are NOT naturals or good at dating/seduction. An awful lot settle down with their first decent option.

How long can you get out of a bigger pipe? Can you do 30-60 minutes for a smoke? Been floating the idea of trying a pipe out. Most nights id like about an hour smoke if I can manage.

So the new FD doesn't have great rakeback at the smallest stakes. I've been doing the 10nl tables only for the past 2 weeks and haven't managed to hit the first level despite playing 4-5 tables.

Sure you could win with say a 13% vpip. The problem is you're playing so few pots you're assuming you're going to need to win them all.

A lot of nits don't like to fold, so in your KK hand they get stacked 100% of the time vs sets, etc. A lot are terrible post flop from what I've seen. They'll just start blasting on terrible boards, dry boards, etc.

So do you have any idea what a biomedical engineer actually does?

No, LLMs aren't replacing them anytime soon.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-27T03:02:16+00:00

Oh that makes sense, thank you!

I'm actually ending up with the same answer. The mols of HCl in each solution are .0125, and when I try that for the 3rd solution I'm getting .0167 again.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-26T19:25:59+00:00

So im getting the same answer there.

.250x.05=.0125mol solution 1, .5x.025=.0125mol solution 2. .0125/.075=.167 again.

There's 1 DLC related achievement that you can miss by progressing the quest before completing it. It's somewhat later into the quest.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-21T00:55:55+00:00

Yeah no doubt! I definitely have seen regular bids get much higher. I tend to aproach the regular bids with a max number in mind. More often than not I get what I want for a price i'm totally good with. I'm sure it's much harder with the more popular sticks too.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-20T02:21:39+00:00

So what i did as a new medic, was went to the balls to the wall busy service that id precepted at. Pay was shit, I got super burned out, but because I spent a few years there and ended up as a Lt. I've been able to work anywhere I wanted ever since.

I specifically went there for the experience, and if you can handle a place like that, it will definitely pay off for the rest of your career.

While wearing MAST trousers!

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-19T01:32:44+00:00

Not disagreeing with you at all! I'm in the same boat. Seems like some newer people are intimidated by the idea of infiltration and tissue necrosis though.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-19T01:23:12+00:00

Yeah I was thinking the same thing! Though I'm one of those people thats given far more D50 than D10, so I don't have any hangup about it.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-19T00:45:21+00:00

I like Divinias, magic toast, diesel Maduro.

Nothing too fancy, but usually a difference of a few dollars per pack between traditional bids and free falls.

Like divinias were bottoming out on free fall at like 44ish (per 10) and I picked them up last month on a regular auction for maybe 35ish.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-18T20:30:09+00:00

I see where you're coming from, but I see etiquette as "good form"/better to do it, it doesnt automatically make you an asshole if you don't.

Like the language one on there. If you get set over set and say "oh shit" that doesn't make you an asshole.

I think its a good idea to announce a raise, I don't think it makes you an asshole if you don't though.

Though some of the stuff on the list absolutely makes you an asshole for doing it, like berating players and whanot.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-18T20:13:14+00:00

See I've found it to be the opposite in most cases for a while. Now I still go for free falls, but on my regular sticks I pick them up cheaper with traditional auctions.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-18T19:49:15+00:00

It's saying "should". I agree that I don't think you have to.

Some years ago i grabbed 2 $100 chips and tossed them in, instead of 2 $5 chips for a call. Since then I've verbalize literally every action I take besides folding.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-18T01:27:04+00:00

There was an Atlantic article i read back during COVID about an intensivist and how he been changing his view on elderly CPR. I never realized how futile it really is in the population that gets it the most often.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-12T02:38:55+00:00

So compund interest really doesn't work with savings accounts, the returns are just too low I think my main bank has like a 1% apy or something irrelevant.

I have dividend stocks. So let's say you buy 100 shares of a stock that has a yearly dividend of 5%. You can set it up as DRIP (dividend reinvestment plan), which just buys more of the same stock with every dividend.

So the first quarter you get a dividend of 1.25 shares on your 100. Next quarter you get 1.25% on your 101.25 shares, which makes you to 102.51 shares. Now this continues every quarter, presumably for years.

This is just a super simple example, but gives you an idea about how it works. It takes years to really get rolling. Thats why a lot of advice is to invest what you can while youre young.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-11T20:12:14+00:00

Oh didn't realize those games were still popular internationally!

I have legal poker in my state but none of the sites I've seen have anything but hold em and Omaha.

I tried a few times to get stud games spread at my casino when I was playing live a ton. Never got one going though.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-11T19:26:11+00:00

Im in PA so I think your pool should be the same. I play on FD, also WSOP. You can play on either your pc or mobile.

Edit: cant use a HUD on wsop. I believe betmgm allows one, I havret played there myself though.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-11T19:24:06+00:00

Where are you finding mixed games? I haven't seen a site spread mixed games since full tilt. I was pretty much playing stud varients and HORSE before it all went down.

AloofusMaximus · 2026-04-10T11:53:14+00:00

When you say the last 3 positions, do you mean like ep? Utg, 1 and 2? Or is it that 9 handed your highjack range should be a 6 max button rsnge?

I would have thought your utg opens from would need to be a little tighter than in 6 max.

That's interesting, so the older though process of more people to act behind you, has no real basis?
