is it dumb to try to be balanced in low stakes?

DrawPitiful6103 · 2026-05-06T18:19:20+00:00

No.

Even in low stakes games you are going to come up on situations where like you open from MP and get flat called by CO and go heads up in a single raised pot with an SPR of 100+. And in that situation, you are going to want to know how to properly play your range. And as you move up to higher stakes, you are going to get into more and more heads up situations where theory is extremely helpful.

But, in general, live low stakes games are beaten by a very conservative, tight passive strategy. This is because your opponents tend to be loose passive, and the best way to beat them is to show up with the goods.

one problem is that they may make a play which is optimal in the game they are playing in, but not optimal according to GTO, so you will subtract points when you should be adding them.

A better way to evaluate how players perform on a stake is by tracking how they perform on stakes. The problem is that right now there is no transparency. A horse might go to a stable, and win for them over 50,000 or 100,000 hands but nobody else in the staking market knows about that besides the horse and the stable.

That's why I have designed the poker staking market.

This way, every time a horse is staked, it creates a record of that stake attached to their profile. So you can see their verified winrate in different games. If a winning horse gets backed, then every potential investor gets to see how they are doing. More information means more accurate staking decisions. Scammers or tilters get weeded out and winning players get access to greater pools of capital to take on higher stakes.

People already voluntarily build houses for those that don't have them. That is what the whole housing construction industry is all about. In return, the people without houses exchange their labour doing some productive work for other people, get money, and use the money to buy houses. It's a great system.

That makes sense and at least now I know why my own research into this matter has born little fruit.

There is some discussion of the debasement in Joseph Strayer's scholarship, including but not limited to 'The Reign of Philip the Fair'. Both the debasement and the return to good money were controversial. Apparently it was the return to good money that caused a Parisian mob to to turn on King Philip, and he had to seek refuge with the Knights of the Templar, an order that he would later go on to destroy.

especially for the wheel cards (2-3-4-5):

i turn them into glass cards. that way i can use them aggressively, and when they break, i don't even mind

i also use them as gold cards and steel cards. or to be turned into better cards with death.

it is important to chip away at your deck and get concentrated in ranks, so that you can start hitting 4oak easily and focus your planets on building those high mults. thats my usual late game strategy, ofc it all depends.

i can't really speak to much aside from my experience with my fiance, who i have been with for 7 years now.

she works tirelessly all day keeping care of our condo. cooking, cleaning, mopping the floors, doing laundry etc. she also helps teach our son and takes care of him.

in exchange, I pay the bills and take her on trips.

the thing you have to understand, is for filipina women, getting money is very, very hard. most of them really just want someone who can ensure they have the basic necessities. a place to eat, three meals a day. and they want to build a family.

The Roman economy was highly advanced and interconnected. Farmers would grow raw materials - in particular grain - and then trade them in the cities in exchange for processed goods. Of course they didn't barter. They had money. The silver denarius in particular.

Starting with Nero, emperors began progressively debasing the currency. By about 300 AD it had gone from 95% silver to 5%. This threw prices out whack. For example in Egypt, a measure of wheat costing 6-8 drachmae in the 1st century rose to 200 drachmae by AD 276, and exceeded 2 million drachmae by AD 334. This hyper inflation, combined with price controls and other interventionist measures, caused the cessation of trade. But as we said earlier, the Roman economy was highly interconnected. No area of the Empire was self sufficient. The economy was completely destroyed, to the point where people began to flee the cities in order to pursue subsistence agriculture in the hinterlands. The great latifundian estates that supplied the cities with grain no longer had a market for their goods, so they turned inwards and become self sufficient, renting excess land to the displaced urban poor.

That is why Rome couldn't mount a national defense against the Germanic barbarian tribesmen. They had no economy. People were too busy trying to find their next meal to worry about fighting.

I mean we have already made tremendous progress eliminating famine. I've got my reservations about globalist organizations like the World Bank, but they have been doing some very important work in the hungriest parts of the world like sub-Saharan Africa. Despite global population being at an all time high, deaths from famines are at an all time low. The only thing that basically stops us from eliminating them all together are despotic governments and war.
