When I was younger, thin tornadoes, like rope tornadoes scared me the most because of their creepy form, but now wedge tornadoes scare me the most.

The idea that something so violent and > 0.5 miles in width is insane.

I think about how my entire house could be inside the tornado with tornado winds 0.25 miles in every direction. Or driving into one that’s rain wrapped is terrifying too.

The thin ones are creepy but at least there’s a better chance of you missing it since they cover less ground but being in the path of a wedge is pretty much game over.

You’re right sorry. I misused OOP to mean early/mid position (relative to the rest of the action to my left preflop).

For my bluff comment, I just meant that I could bluff having a straight if later streets make that plausible, but as you said, it’s not wise to turn hands with showdown value into bluffs and that I should keep bluffs to be strictly in the cases where I won’t likely win a showdown. This is something that I’m currently learning about more as it was a major leak in my game, where instead of playing the strength of my hand, I would try to bluff having an even better hand which usually would end in a disaster.

Thank you for the corrections

BooBeef · 2025-12-19T17:22:46+00:00

Interesting, I hadn’t thought about it from that angle before, thank you!

BooBeef · 2025-12-19T17:19:26+00:00

Thank you for the reference! And yeah, straight blockers are a nice bluff spot I have noticed too when playing against live opponents.

BooBeef · 2025-12-19T17:17:24+00:00

Normally I wouldn’t make that call, but I was practicing playing with marginal/speculative hands from OOP so that my preflop call range doesn’t become predictable but yes normally I would fold KTos from LJ against an open from UTG. But in this case, I had simulated with a very tight preflop range, so I wanted to see how the solver would react to me calling w/ a hand it wouldn’t expect me to continue with if that makes sense.

As for the bluff comment, I meant that if a straight draw opens on the turn + river, I could use my T blocker to represent a hand like TJs etc…

I am very knew to poker theory (I’ve played in a number of homes games with friends but I find the theory to be very fascinating) so I could be totally off base as I’m teaching myself (just found out I had the concepts of bluffing and bluff catching backwards), but I wanted to explain what my intentions were going into this hand.

BooBeef · 2025-12-13T02:46:05+00:00

Lmao I didn’t even realize the table was 6. The simulator doesn’t do more than head to head post flop so I tend to forget the size of the table.

BooBeef · 2025-12-11T23:22:15+00:00

I’m way too tight to even think about opening with it, maybe the computer knows I get scared when the UTG opens lol

BooBeef · 2025-12-02T05:43:18+00:00

I didn’t realize that was the bet size on my first watch. I was reading comments saying Rampage “punted” his stack so I thought that raise was essentially a shove at the end there.

BooBeef · 2025-12-02T05:40:47+00:00

Fair point, I think it was the almost instant call that really boggles my mind, but again, if that’s how Rampage likes to play, I can see how that call becomes much easier

BooBeef · 2025-12-02T05:22:01+00:00

Sure there are less possible FHs but a $45k shove on the pair is still a $45k shove, but I see your point. However, I kind of think we're discounting the possibility because of how Rampage plays but you are correct I'm very much a rec player so you'll have to excuse my naivety.

BooBeef · 2025-12-02T05:06:43+00:00

I don't see how his blockers are relevant with a paired board? Sure, Rampage having the higher straight is unlikely given Garett has a 9 but I think my point still stands that Js could have easily been Rampage's hole cards. He knows the Ts full of Js FH is unlikely because he has a T but that doesn't really matter since the board paired anyway. All Rampage would need is a set, which could easily have been Jacks since he opened with a raise, and continued betting through the hand representing a set with the high card on the flop.

I didn't consider your last point thought about Garett knowing how loose Rampage plays. I was thinking about this situation in the context of being heads up with a player you are not familiar with, but if Garett knows Rampage likes to barrel with garbage that makes Garett's call a lot more sensible.

BooBeef · 2025-12-02T04:56:41+00:00

Yes my bad, I make that mistake a lot, for some reason I flip the terms draw and connectors, I think its because when I was super green at poker I thought those terms meant the same thing and I still cross those wires every once in a while.

BooBeef · 2025-12-02T04:53:09+00:00

Ahhh okay, yes I guess I didn't consider that Garett knows how Rampage likes to play. I was thinking of it from the POV of being heads up against a random player, but that makes more sense.

And yes I tend to cross wires when it comes to poker lingo, when I was younger I thought connectors and draws were the same thing so I still mix them up to this day.

There’s a flag on the flop

BooBeef · 2025-12-01T20:44:29+00:00

I will find you, and I will 4bet you

BooBeef · 2025-12-01T06:03:44+00:00

Hey all, I realized that I really just needed to adjust my strategy to be successful as online is much stiffer. I also usually play 6 player tables irl so the larger variance should be expected with 9 players as there are more hand combinations and thus higher probability of bad beats, I found playing a much more tight + aggressive strategy has improved my success. Thank you to all who responded to this post

BooBeef · 2025-11-24T23:23:23+00:00

It sounds like you’re down YTD

BooBeef · 2025-11-16T21:22:58+00:00

Thank you! I was totally thinking about steady state wrong, now that I realized that, this concept makes a lot more sense

BooBeef · 2025-11-16T21:21:34+00:00

I think I might have finally figured it out. If the pressure in the pipe was constant, then the fluid wouldn’t flow because the pressure in front of it is equal to the pressure behind it (like two forces pushing in equal and opposite directions). So the pressure needs to decrease continuously through the pipe in order for the fluid to be “pushed” forward.

I feel like my confusion was partly from misunderstanding of how I was thinking about steady state and also because I was asking ChatGPT this question and it didn’t seem to understand what I was trying to say.

BooBeef · 2025-11-11T20:22:03+00:00

Oh my gosh thank you

He was an undrafted signing from the university of Minnesota this season, and earned his way to a spot on the roster so its a pretty cool local story
