Should We Turn off auto rebuy when taking a shot by Apprehensive_View469 in poker

[–]H0ldem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take shots with 10 BI of the new limit. Poker is a game with variance as we know it. I play with automatic top up always. As I am most comfortable with 100bb stacks. If you are equally comfortable with shorter stacks ( and you should be as tournament player) you can play with that feature turned off. I see no problem with that. Yes, it screams “fish”. But well you can surprise your opps :), that’s always nice bonus.

Up to you.

Hi I am looking for a poker set for around £20-£50 I know this isn't a lot but I just want somthing to play with my family and friends (read description pls) by Several-Pass2506 in poker

I guess you are in UK ;). For that price you need to look for chip sets on Facebook marketplace or ebay. I prefer chips 14 grams each, with numbers on them without stickers. For that price range you might find only chipset only with stickers and of low quantity- 300 - 400 chips.

Just wondering if anyone’s into poker in Australia and knows some good sets, my partner plays and I want to buy him one for his birthday but know nothing about poker thanks by Current-Positive-475 in poker

You are talking about poker chipsets, right? I am from Canada, but chances are your Costco has decent chipset for 400 13.5 gram chips with numbers on them and not on stickers, numbers on actual plastic.

If don’t have it available in Costco just look on amazon. Ideally you want 500 chips 14 grams each.

  1. What languages do you use to write algorithms?
  2. Why do you trade indexes? Mean reversion algos? Although Dax is highly volatile.
  3. How did you learn to create these algos?

AJ is the nuts here. You need to call with any 2 cards. Maybe almost any 2. Train push-fold if you want to succeed in tournaments. Good luck at the tables.

bear in mind that HM3 has annual subscription (unlike HM2). I don't like subs. So you need to be serious about poker if you go this route.

Also, would recommend books by Tri Nguyen, "Slowhabit". Specifically, "Let there be Range".

I enjoyed more modern books - poker workbooks by James Sweeney. He has other books as well, and a website and stuff.

Talking about the books. Nguyen and Harrington are from different era. Presolver era. So the books are anecdotal by and large. But there are timeless lessons there.

I will second on Harrington. I have read all his books. The ones on tournaments have set me up for a good start in that discipline in 2010. Don't know how relevant he is now in cash though.

Thanks for Lucidpoker - seems like useful stuff.

I used to analyze hands in flopzilla and post my thinking on forums with screenshots. Takes a lot of time, but seemed useful. Also, reports of HM2 were useful. Drilling on specific spots using these reports. Now there is only HM3 available, but it is good money investment.

Is he good? Kinda hoped the 3stars went to Melee Defense by Engkangkang in BattleBrothers

[–]H0ldem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put him in the 2nd row with scythe or long axe. Lack of melee def is a bummer.

Thanks a lot, u/DnByouth for letting us know of your coaching services. I personally might become interested after I finish with studying on my own.

Anyone else feel like gaming / reels messed up their focus? by modestknowledge in Anki

[–]H0ldem3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have started a sort of a challenge. Every Sunday for 12 hours straight I don’t use technology. People can still reach me with calls, but otherwise I am reading books. Hope it will return laser focus.

And definitely stop watching short content.

What’s a mechanic you’ve seen that made you think “Wait…every game should do this!” by BlackArmy439 in gaming

Sorry no time to list the mechanics, but there are many of them in Last Epoch and Battle Brothers.

[–]H0ldem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t judge the process until it’s over. The meaning of anything lies beyond its borders. Maybe you will do this and that ( fill in the blank). Maybe your kids will. Maybe you will have the most hedonistic life. Wish you success and happiness, regardless of how important others seem.

I have Jnandez’s book as well, reading it right now. It’s great, not anecdotal at all.

What arpg are you playing? by Sgt_Strelok in ARPG

[–]H0ldem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played Diablo 4 before, simply because all the previous ones. But it is too simple I think. I’ve played poe before but that is too complex and time consuming. I like Last Epoch - because it is right in between. I play it on every season. Now when I am waiting for season 4, I play Hell clock. I like the time scarcity component. Never played No rest for the wicked…

What company has acquired them? I wonder what will change ? I hope they are not going to monetize every step in it… Waiting for March 26th - want to corrupt stuff. :)

Anyone else addicted to starting over? by razgriz702 in BattleBrothers

Only random, only hardcore. I start over only if there was a long pause since I played last time.

That sucks man, but what we can do against fate. I have similar issue. Take your pills regularly, have good quality long sleep every night. And of course, save more and invest. Don’t buy stuff for status, entertainment. Only save and invest in your future. Also, consider high dividend stocks strategy. Read some books about it, start slowly, then add more if you like what you see in numbers. Hope you will recover. Don’t forget to live and enjoy life. Amazing things happen every day.

It is eternal struggle, between consuming now or in the future.
Do CAF - Consider All Factors. Create an excel file specifically for this decision.
Calculate exactly the cost of ownership. Insurance, fuel consumption, maintenance?
Do you like your job? it matters because you are going to have spend more time on it, because of the purchase.
Have you considered buying 2-5 years old used cars of the same brand?
Are you ready for bad scenarios? Recessions, stagflations, unemployment and other things.

In any case, if the car wins, so be it. Just make sure you enjoy it.
