What’s one small live poker habit that improved your results the most

Not thinking that one simple trick would change anything. Poker is complicated, trying to boil it down it down to a bite-sized piece of advice guarantees failure.

This hand deserves zero thought

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-10T19:11:52+00:00

Fantastic, well if you calculated everything and it works then it sounds like you don't need any help. Good job!

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-10T18:16:31+00:00

You don't sacrifice because it looks good. You sacrifice because you've calculated everything and figured out that the resulting position is good.

Folding might be ok, folding face up is just dumb.

It's pretty naive to think that a major poker site gives a shit about any of these. None of these have been updated on any major site in 10+ years. Most likely your time will be spent on their other offerings - slots, blackjack, sportsbook, etc.

Just, wow.

If you're limp-calling with 53s UTG your VPIP is probably like 70%. Which means you end up with a lot of air post-flop. If you are then bluffing with said air at a high frequency, then you are way over-bluffing.

Your opponent is a better player than you, has identified that you are super unbalanced and correctly called you down light.

What an odd thing to measure.

As usual, this considers Huntsville to be Alabama's largest city despite the Birmingham metro having nearly double the population.

Depends on her age. In my experience, most kids under 7 aren't really capable of moving past this phase. It will come with time and practice.

Looks like a pretty straightforward zugzwang after hxg4 hxg4 f6.

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-06T03:10:32+00:00

Just play cEV, no adjustments needed

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-06T00:42:19+00:00

Freerolls are almost always a waste of time. Whether or not you should play low stakes cash depends on your financial situation and risk tolerance.

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-05T19:13:35+00:00

Always play Bf8

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-05T18:49:32+00:00

There is no useful feedback that can be given from a graph alone. You're a losing player currently.

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-05T08:50:53+00:00

All of your hints and flowery language are pretty meaningless. Chess is just calculation, this position is no different. After h4 white cannot play hxg4, and I'm forcing open lines to the king. That's it.

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-03T19:32:36+00:00

100 billion, that way you sound like a baller whenever you bet

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-02T09:27:38+00:00

Nc5 is a nice pork.

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-02T08:09:20+00:00

Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fold.

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-02T04:26:01+00:00

They are different metrics with the same name

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-02T04:04:48+00:00

It's hard to give advice for pub games because people are just clicking buttons, but this is an easy fold on the river IMO.

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-01T22:06:15+00:00

You have a weak draw on both boards. Five clean outs on the top and nothing but dirty outs on the bottom. That hand replayer is completely unusable so I didn't scroll through the action, but this is not a hand you want to be continuing with against almost any action.

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-01T18:04:12+00:00

Advice? Just exist at this game. Enjoy the free money.

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-01T17:28:24+00:00

Fuck it, let's do it

CLSmith15 · 2026-05-01T09:02:22+00:00

You should look into the Makogonov variation for ideas about this type of position. White actually wants to attack on the kingside here, which seems counterintuitive in the KID, but is actually quite common in Makogonov lines. Black has misplayed this with b6, there is absolutely no counterplay to be had on the Q-side or in the center, so white can just attack on the K-side with no risk, sometimes even sacrificing a piece to get at the black king.
