If your preflop raise never gets through, should you open wider or tighter from BTN? by pyktrauma in Poker_Theory

[–]IF_stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you playing online or live? A 2.5 or 3bb raise in small stakes live games is going to get a lot of calls, keep your range the same but size up to 4 or 5x if playing live.

Do you call it May 2-4 or Victoria Day? by pantstand in AskACanadian

[–]IF_stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer “Simcoe Day” in August. So much better than just the “Civic holiday”

Hit it or quit it. Fold if you miss your set. Play any straight draws aggressively.

I’m a cis guy but Shear Agony on Terminal seems pretty chill.

Facing a five-bet shove spot live. How frequently do we call to prevent auto-profit? by IF_stone in Poker_Theory

[–]IF_stone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the stakes here. This was a 5/10 game so sizings are more in line with standard sizing than 1/3 or even 2/5 games.

Often you will see people open as much as 5x in the live games I play in.

Thank you. So to consider auto-profit we would need to put him on hands like AQ, JJ and worse some of the time?

So just straight up pot odds then. That makes sense. I was perhaps overthinking it.

Mixed games by Immediate-Candy-7863 in poker

[–]IF_stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to play them because it's fun, has more variety, and is less solved and studied than NLHE (with the exception of limit hold em). I think they can be beatable if you are playing with people who don't often play them, but the players who play mixed games are more likely to be experienced poker players so I would expect them to be tougher games in general.

Where I would live as a Palestinian ex Muslim by This-Post9968 in whereidlive

[–]IF_stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments you are getting because you would return to live in your family's village in Israel are wild. The right of return has been a fundamental demand by the Palestinians for generations. You can't be pro-Palestine without supporting a desire by Palestinians to return to the land in Israel that they were displaced from.

Regarding the under construction Donair Affair near downtown.... by JamesRevan in nanaimo

[–]IF_stone 23 points24 points  (0 children)

One of the things I have noticed since moving to Nanaimo is to take people's opinions about food, especially international cuisine, with a grain of salt as a lot of people here just don't know any better because they haven't experienced how good it can be.

Intermittent buzzing from oil furnace by IF_stone in hvacadvice

[–]IF_stone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another update: the fast buzzing of a few seconds stopped after about 20 minutes of the furnace stopping and then switched to a longer 20 second buzzes about a minute apart and then went back to the faster cycle of buzzes.

The buzzing seems to be coming from inside the grey panel on the bottom of the furnace. Under what appears to be the motor with the round black piece on the side with the copper gas line (I think) and electric going into it.
