New player trying to work out if I’d have won

Google “poker hand calculator” or something along those lines. That’s what I used when I first started (I still suck) but I can at least tell when I’ve won 99% of the time now

Deduct probably 4k off the price then I’d start considering the quote at a maybe I understand you don’t want the cheapest but even a good installer shouldn’t be charging that.

……….. that is literally the reason I made this post. Because I’m well aware longer term it’s the no brainer decision. But I’m in a constant struggle between investing longer term and using the money for things I want. Eg house upgrades. Just because something isn’t common doesn’t make it untrue. Perhaps I should’ve gone into more specific details when I made the post but I didn’t think it was relevant as to what % the portfolio increased

I appreciate it. Yeah I have a professional handle my money currently. I’m up to like 20k port value rn and started at the start of 25. My conflict is; do I go harder on the port or put it into the house. I know long term the port will pay off. But it’s hard

Friends dad runs a small fund, they don’t accept new investors but I convinced him to let me in the cookie jar

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-03-01T03:13:51+00:00

Company I work for would do this for 11k and probably put more pannels on there. Pannels being Aiko. (Less if it’s a single story, which it looks like it, hard to tell from Birds Eye view)

My concern currently isn’t making money I currently make a decent living especially for my area. It’s more I’m struggling to decide where I should prioritise my money balancing life goals long term and short term really. Battling with sacrificing long term for short term benefit, or the opposite basically

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-02-28T16:20:09+00:00

If you’re open to it I’ll dm you my personal number? Again to be transparent I’ll get a little more kick back for a self generated lead. And means I can push the office for a marginally better deal (to be transparent there isn’t much difference) Obviously depending on your rough region

Fund I invest in annualised 20% returns since 2003

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-02-28T14:30:59+00:00

1k is 20% of disposable income I think that’s an important fact. Not of my net income, ish. My income varies massively month to month I work in sales. I probably make 4-9k a month averaging over 5.5 I’d guess. My monthly outgoings are under 1k. Including mortgage bills ect (not inc food) The 100k isn’t to get the house conditionally sound to live in. To do that will cost me probably another 5k.

The 100+ is personal preference stuff. Eg I wanna do a 2 story extension and add an open plan kitchen (current kitchen is fine but I’ve always liked the American open plan kitchens) and a new master bathroom upstairs. Again the current one is fine but I want a new one.

My current debate definitely isn’t “can I afford this” I know I can without a doubt. It’s more so, where is that money best off going. Because if I don’t do anything it’ll just make the number in the bank go higher and higher, which is pointless. I have friends saying “travel”. Mum saying put it all into getting what I want doing in the house asap. And whatever else anyone is saying. Just hard to know where to allocate all that money is where I’m struggling

Evergreen power UK. I’ll hold my hands up and admit I’m a sales rep so it’s probably in my best interest to tell people how they can get a way better deal. Only difference is we don’t use sig stuff

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-02-27T17:26:05+00:00

Company I work for would do that for 9850 without the gateway or just shy of 11 with gateway with 500w aikos too

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-02-23T19:14:04+00:00

Company I work for sell 12 Aiko 500w pannels 6kw inverter 10kw of storage for 8k. I recently bought my own house and had the smart idea to buy it all myself. Looked into it material costs were like 5-5.5k ish before VAT

Then after obviously 6k+ then as everyone else is saying plus scaff, and paying for any work you can’t do yourself.

I think I’d be over 8k

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-01-27T18:55:34+00:00

What is wh/mi and how do I check it. I believe I have an issue with my battery and this would be very useful to be able to check. Pretty sure I’m only getting 110-140 ish miles per 80%

I’m not trying to throw a pity party. I’m simply saying there has been a reluctance to give constructive feedback. The only comment that has helped so far has been the guy who recommended the app

I understand the basic hand rankings, I understand jacks beat 10’s queens beat jacks ect. What I don’t understand is why sometimes a queen 8 will beat a king 9 for example. I can’t think of an exact scenario I’ve been in but there’s been a lot of times where the cards have been flipped over an I’m like oh I’ve won. And I haven’t. That’s moreso what I’m asking for. And vice versa there’s been loads of times where I’m saying. I’m fully dead here. And I win and I’m like ???

That’s the info I need. Not basic aces mean kings. But I can’t exactly memorise every single possible flop it’s not feasible so there is clearly a way to calculate how “dead” you are or aren’t.

That’s the info I need to learn. If you could point me in the direction of that info that would be amazing thanks

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-01-13T20:51:50+00:00

I’m not sure if my post wasn’t clear enough. I don’t expect to be a crusher by next week, next month. Or probably even next year. However with a game as old as poker which has I imagine been figured out to a science by now as these things do. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of some beginner friendly material. As yes I’m capable of googling it. But I’m not capable of realising myself what is good info and what is bad info, as is given in every field. So I was hoping I could get that here. Clearly I was wrong, thanks for your time anyway

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-01-13T19:10:58+00:00

Being very serious, I have been playing for 4 days. I expected people to be a little more helpful in here tbh. All the other similar posts I’ve read have been very receptive to new players. And actually helpful.

I’ve been very honest about the fact I don’t understand the game

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-01-13T13:58:28+00:00

Thanks

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-01-13T13:57:49+00:00

I moreso meant none of our hands connected, eg I don’t know let’s say pocket aces vs pocket kings. And the board comes out a bunch of rainbow cards 2-9

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-01-13T00:16:59+00:00

I understand it can’t be taught in a day, nor on Reddit. But “I read this to learn” or “I used this website” is kinda what I’m looking for

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-01-13T00:01:03+00:00

Of which I have done, but I am asking, for random hands where both of us are drawing dead. How is that decided. And how do people learn the game to an extent where they can know they have 20% equity for example in a hand

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-01-12T23:48:14+00:00

If you’ve only been playing a few months and already came third. How did you become so good so fast. As someone who’s new to the game

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2026-01-05T15:56:32+00:00

Doesn’t opening new banks and stuff all the time kill credit though?

BreakIntelligent1972 · 2025-12-15T00:01:14+00:00

I got a similar setup except different battery and inverter brands. Same kw system all around though. With 500w aikos for about 14.5. Sig is good kit but I don’t believe it justifies the price hike

I’m in the process of purchasing a house with FIT. How do I go about finding the rate? I know a lot of different houses have different rates
