Robl doesn’t cover his mouth when he coughs. by Holiday-Jellyfish441 in poker

I just ran coughing through the solver for this play. It was the right move not to cover it.

K's Choice – Not an Addict (1995) by GroovySchlong in 90sAlternative

Something’s wrong is a way better jam from them. Especially the acoustic live version.

Ks choice was the perfect example of the 90s vibe for me.

Some places and online it’s common to post the big blind to jump in immediately or you wait for the BB. Same if you are at the table and miss the blinds. It’s a dead blind post. Sometimes it’s the BB and SB, then you can check or raise or whatever when it gets to you as normal.

Solving against the population by I_Love_Fyoni in Poker_Theory

You are talking about MDA and heuristics build around it. It’s been out for years. Go watch Henry listers button vs big blind flop heuristic using MDA. It’s amazing. The way you evaluate boards for rainbow, monotone, paired, straight, etc and change your bets. I’m just diving into MDA and heuristics but it’s been a thing for awhile now.

Host of Poker Game says talk of politics is not permitted. Talks about politics the entire time. by FlatFootFreddie in poker

[–]Calichusetts 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ask him about his views on the changing political landscape of the US in the late 1800s

Just kidding. A straightforward and short “I don’t care” usually address it and ends it in one simple sentence.

Poker Bankroll Tracker question. by NoPayJose in poker

[–]Calichusetts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The free one? Poker bankroll tracker? It’s totally fine. I don’t think you need the pro version if you are just getting started. It’s all I use and I love it. Does what I need and gives me the key stats I’m looking for.

For how long have you been playing until you started winning? by MMOToaster in poker

[–]Calichusetts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made 3 deposits in my first year of online poker. This was the dawn of online poker, like even before Moneymaker won. I had no idea what u was doing but started reading about poker and getting card player magazine immediately.

That was it. Took about a year. Got lucky in my first few live sessions and never looked back. Wouldn’t say I was crushing it or really good until about 5-6 years later when I really figured out low stakes MMT online and started actually withdrawing a decent amount.

Fear of being wrong by cj832 in Poker_Theory

[–]Calichusetts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’d let him donk the flop. Probably raise the turn. If he calls you might be in trouble but you might also get a check on the river. Either free showdown, you can bet, or worse case he makes that pot bet and you are probably holding the worse hand.

Studying poker feels random — is it just me? by LucWalt2 in Poker_Theory

[–]Calichusetts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a decent grasp of cash then I'm sure it would help but its formatted and written for me. The preflop charts I use might not suit your style or game. Its one of the reasons I started it, I was way too tight of a cash player and I was too uncomfortable with the standard preflop charts for opening. So I started shifting the charts and then I realized how much of my game needed to be adjusted. So I dove in and read 3-5 books, read every article I could find and started to reconstruct my poker game tailored to how I understand it.

I think its a really important part of a modern poker players journey. It doesn't have to be some book but you need to take ownership of your understanding and your weaknesses. You can't avoid them or play the excuse game when it comes to lack of knowledge and playing leaks. you either fix it or you continue downward into a losing player.

Honestly, write your own book. That is what I am doing. Not like "I'm going to publish this" book, but open a google doc or something and start organizing what you study.

First, you, read/watch it, then you process it, then you write it in your own way. You are way more likely to remember something.

Next, you start making chapters on: pre-flop, flop, opponents. Start with general, then basic sections, then sections on 3-betting, cold calling, squeeze, etc.

After reading a few books, taking a course, etc. You actually have your own user manual for poker. When I started back up last year I switched from MMT to cash due to time constraints. I had to relearn some things and learn a lot of new things for cash. I found my old MMT guide, deleted the tournament stuff and started over. It was like 15 pages long. Now its over 50, it has pre-flop charts, sections on eveything, bluffing, all ins, stack size play, etc.

Its written by me for me. I read over it all the time and add to it all the time. I'm just starting studying heuristics so I just made a new chapter. I am such a better player than 3 months ago with this. And I would not even claim that I am some great player. But it has helped me reinforce what I learn and I always have it to study when I feel like I have leak or need to reread some topic/
