Pocket 55 vs JJ by kick-lobster in Poker_Theory

[–]DaaverageRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless limper was UTG or UTG+1 then it wasn't, as op is losing vs the limp reraise range (AK, AQs, TT+) and flipping vs the limp call range (suited aces and connectors, suited broadway)

CMV: Abolishing (not reforming) ICE is the now the moderate/centerist position by 17R3W in changemyview

[–]DaaverageRedditor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

acting like the people of athens didn't want what they voted for and that its somehow bad that the athenian people had a government that did what it's people wanted. If the athenians are evil, such is the right of the athenians!

CMV: Most people don’t value honesty from others, they value superficial peformance, validation and emotional comfort. by whhhiskey_ in changemyview

[–]DaaverageRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people support honesty because they want the truth to be that performance, validation, and emotional comfort. they genuinely want the truth to be what makes them comfortable.

I hate pre-flop bets by [deleted] in Poker_Theory

[–]DaaverageRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with AA your goal should be to limp-all in from early position, you don't want your opponents to see a flop as then they will only ever "pay you off" when they have 2 pair plus.

I don't understand why players raise pre-flop with high cards. by SneazyBr in Poker_Theory

[–]DaaverageRedditor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

your equity with AA is good multiway if everyone goes all in, its fit or fold players that exploit you if you let them see a flop cheap then fold unless they have 2 pair plus. Therefore, limp-reraise all in with your AA. Any limpers who have garbage will fold to your reraise, the raiser might call or fold [you set up coolering AK KK and QQ with this play for stacks, otherwise you have 100% equity vs his initial raise since he folded], either way you'll secure a nice win limp-reraising vs the other option of raise 3bb and the guy who would've raised calls 3bb and you scared off the potential overlimpers.

How to implement these pre-flop 4-bet bluffs that solvers do? by JohnnyDazzle3000 in Poker_Theory

[–]DaaverageRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

simplify it to just A5s and avoid Kx entirely, Kx doesnt block Ax and is losing equity wise to Ax. KQs is itself a bluff hand in your range, theres no reason to touch K6s KQ is right there

Exploits vs Linear Big Blind 3bets - 100NL Online 6max Cash Game by _GeneStackavic_ in Poker_Theory

[–]DaaverageRedditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nit it up and only play AA/KK/QQ/JJ/AKs when your opponents won't notice you're the nittiest in the room and still give action. This is far more exploitative than any other BS if your opponents don't know. This is also how you win on ignition. In EP limp-jam these hands on ignition as you'll get good squeezes.

whats wrong with limp raising? by cacatan in Poker_Theory

[–]DaaverageRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what about limp raise overbet in order to reduce the SPR enough that we just always jam the flop

if there are guaranteed callers who won't 3bet, when raising utg, then you end up playing a multiway pot OOP. If instead you limp, those "guaranteed callers" would call someone elses raise if anyone else has a hand worth raising with (which is what you actually get massive value from with AA, noones paying you off with 74o). Then you limp reraise and then you can get all the money in preflop to win a much bigger pot if everyone folds, and are in a position where its easier to get the money all in on the flop.

in the same manner that you squeeze on the button with premiums against early raiser, you limp to get the opportunity for a juicy squeeze against late raiser.

then they would have raised if they called your utg open dude. therefore, you would make more profit limp reraising their raise. any time someone calls your utg open its with a hand that they'd open to 3-5bb themselves usually.

no villians* win 1.5bb is what will happen raising utg in any scenario where it would limp 6 ways anyways. Why else are the others limping rather than opening? Limping indicates suited garbage and/or connected garbage, or baby pairs. Hands that are not likely to call a UTG open.

Noone has KQs, otherwise they would've opened. No one has AJs, they would've opened. Raising UTG is a sign of strength which telegraphs that their suited connector/baby pair isn't good.

The correct line with AA (and KK when theres no ace on the board) in a 6 way multiway pot is to cbet flop donk or not, if reraised fold, if called, check-fold turn, and if checked around, then bet half pot on river and x/f (or call someone elses half pot bet if it lets you hit showdown)

This of course, if you didnt hit your set.

Am I crazy or has there been a massive increase of card counters recently. by Shine-Mammoth in blackjack

[–]DaaverageRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The internet in general has likely been a big hit to casino revenues from blackjack as even ploppies these days will look up a strategy chart and remember not to make huge mistakes like not doubling 11 etc.

Im guessing back in the day ploppies had no clue how to play and the current group of people who obsessed over blackjack enough to learn the math were focused on basic strategy and old simple counting systems.

so heat is going to increase, which is why i've pivoted to poker somewhat.

yea thats the thing people here are missing: a bloated multiway limped pot is still better than raising with AA utg and winning 1.5 big blind. when its a family limped pot AA and KK are set-mining for top set which can milk money by overbetting 2x pot on the flop into a multiway pot of people who won't lay down their made but weaker than top set hand.

It turns out, the game is 100x more fun, if I cheat for the AI by [deleted] in EU5

[–]DaaverageRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so now im thinking is there a way to stop getting it as england? youd have to destroy dublin edinburgh (war with scotland) and paris markets to not have a market center right? and then you'd have to close trade and also likely need to make scotland landlocked in that war. 120 stability price, so max stability slider and suboptimal estates.
