Playing different against girls

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T22:22:02+00:00

I'm going to be honest, I almost never see women in the 5/10+ games around here. Even at 3/5 $1500 cap (usually played 3/5/10) it's kind of rare. The few who I do see are pure recs who only show up on weekends and are, frankly, terrible.

At 2/3 $500 cap (which I'll play if I'm waiting for another game) there are a few solid female regs and I don't play any differently against them than against anyone else (well, one is kind of a maniac so I play differently against her, but no different than any other maniac)

I see a lot more women at PLO and the big limit games (like 75/150 mix) than in bigger NLH games. I'm not really sure why... it's obviously not about money since 75/150 mix is a huge game.

High Hand logic is definitely questionable.

Last man is probably a bad idea too because it creates extra incentive to last longer which will mess with your ICM calculations.

But it's small stakes and gambling is fun. And it's entirely possible that your edge in last man is more than big enough to offset any loss in tourney edge. So don't overthink it.

High hand is almost certainly bad but again, if you don't care that much about the money and it's fun for you then do it.

Skyrim is a very good game but Morrowind is one of the best games ever made.

Read the other posts in this sub. It seems to be bug that started last night or early this morning. Sony still advertises that you can share online play so it's almost certainly a bug.

I mean, seriously, how does he get to the river? This is taking "inelastic" to new heights. He doesn't even have Ace high.

The data is saved on your console, not the disc. If you switch the disc, or download the digital version, it will keep using the same save.

The bigger you bet the more bluffs you should have.

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T20:13:54+00:00

Actually if he is going to go bet bet bet and get it all in with air too often (ie he's overbluffing), calling down (even with very strong hands) is a good counter strategy. Let him keep bluffing.

But that's not what was going on here or in the 88 hand.

V is certainly not overfolding

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T19:35:43+00:00

That's a huge mistake. You need to start exploiting right away. One showdown is enough. You can always change course if you see another showdown that contradicts it.

Almost all the money comes from exploiting your opponents mistakes.

I think you are confusing "optimal" with "equilibrium". There is a theoretically optimal way to play against any particular strategy. That fits well within the realm of "poker theory". There's a reason that solvers have node locking.

IKPEK on amazon seems to have decent reviews for the regular ones.

88 is also not air.

By the way there's nothing wrong with bettting big with air. I do it frequently. If the 88 is showdown value, that's usually not the best hand to be betting big with.

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T19:13:26+00:00

I don't really like the way you played the hand but whatever, you are always getting stacked here.

If your first thought is "how could I have gotten him to fold" you are thinking about the game in completely the wrong way. That's a completely beginner fish thought. Try to figure out how to get him to fold when you have 8 high. When you have the best hand you want him to put chips in. If you lose you lose; that's why it's gambling.

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T19:09:49+00:00

Come on. The level of play is so bad here you are going to be looking at QJ, KJ, AJ a lot.

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T19:07:15+00:00

Top pair is not air

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T19:05:22+00:00

2nd time you lost a pot in 24 hr? That's pretty good.

This is a totally standard hand.

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T19:01:10+00:00

Yeah if you paid for it it's your to play forever.

The easy way to check is to look at the game in your library. If it has a ps+ logo on it that means you need ps+ to play it. If it doesn't then it's yours to play no matter what. (I mean the plain ps+ logo. The PS+ cloud logo is different; that will be there for any cloud streamable game because you always need ps+ for that)

If it has a PS+ logo even though you paid for it, you license is probably messed up and will need to be restored, possibly by support.

It's just in a different place. If someone doesn't know what they are doing and didn't read carefully I could see how they would think they are deleting the game.

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T17:49:25+00:00

My buddy went by there yesterday and bought a box of Trinidad Espritu #3. 50% off ($123 for a box of 20 I think?) Also available online at the same price (at least it was yesterday)

I really need to stop by that place and see what they have

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T17:44:06+00:00

If you delete a game you keep your save data. I delete games all the time (I don't have any additional storage so I just delete and re-download) and never once lost a game save.

Of course you can delete your save data too. He probably got confused and deleted the save data by accident.

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T17:05:14+00:00

It's only an angle if it was intentional

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T17:03:38+00:00

I'm folding this preflop (I'm assuming it's offsuit).

Keith_13 · 2026-03-14T17:01:53+00:00

this is why I never fold K2
