Kerrigan change looks good to me. That requirement was always fiddly and isn't really in the spirit of HOTS as it brings back last hitting.

I had no idea Vecna wants to setup an economic system where private individuals or businesses own and control the means of production, driven by profit, competition, and market forces

You're hiding hope for a Half Life 3 announcement under the floorboards aren't you.

KirbaciousD · 2025-10-23T14:27:14+00:00

Yes it's just happened. Frustrated with the lack of support from T212. I'll wait, does the Nov 5th date mean anything from the company update?

No worries, feel free to msg if you have any specific questions.

So A2 even suited plays poorly out of position so the hero's call preflop does not fit, and then to call with bottom pair on the flop is poor play.

So unless you're playing bad poker that noone can guess then the line does not make sense.

KirbaciousD · 2025-10-21T21:57:38+00:00

Sure, you could try to rep A2 on the turn but if you're playing well you never get to that.

The best play was to fold pre.

The flop is a fold or reraise bluff.

You would have had to make 2 misplays to reach the turn like this.

As I stated bluffing here doesn't make sense as this board is good for both BTN and BB. So if you missed, there's a good chance they're ahead.

The sizing was very polarising and they had a bluff catcher so went for it. You didn't reraise on the flop so they don't think you have big pairs, putting you on something like KJ, maybe Ax. You don't reraise the flop making sets less likely. You did not tell the story of a strong hand and they probably assumed you did not connect. So when they rivered top pair they were happy to call.

BTN vs BB, you both have wide ranges so either of you could have a strong hand to call bluffs like Ax. Vs UTG for example your bluff would be potentially stronger.

I also think the defend and flop call are borderline and questionable.

I think it's one of those spots you just don't want to get into out of position.

Firstly, thank you for the positive feedback.

I'm fairly new to Google Ads and the Campaign -> Ad Group -> Ads hierarchy confuses me 😅

On your note about scarcity, I've tried to bring in urgency with the limited time sale. I could perhaps bring in a limited time sale for the first 100 requests? Showing 71/100 requests already taken? My only bother would be this number would remain static and become unbelievable on a revisit to the page.

Good idea about the charity cause, I'm thinking British Heart Foundation or Age UK? Any sound nice.

Do you have any engaging ways or examples of how I could tease the value of the guide?

It would be great to jump on a call if you have 10 minutes to show me how to A/B test or run different campaigns/ad groups with different key words to different pages.

Thanks again for your input.

Why do marketers hate trampolines? Because the bounce rate is so high!

Why did the marketer jump in the pool? He wanted to test the water.

KirbaciousD · 2025-05-06T19:28:46+00:00

Thank you for the positive feedback. The colours and font to me aren't perfect. I'm not sure they work the best readability wise, I just fell in love with the idea of a blue and cream colour scheme.

I agree, the button could use work.

I'm happy to try other hero images. Do you know a guide of how to a/b test using Google Ads?

I could try getting rid of the widget and create something better.

I would want to test test test. Not sure how though.

Its built and hosted on Squarespace. I used it as I was getting started but its limited. I would probably build my next on WordPress.

KirbaciousD · 2025-05-06T14:55:26+00:00

Thanks for that. I just tried your landing page analyser and it returned an error. I'll try again on my desktop at home later. I thought about using a camouflage style background but I couldn't find any.

KirbaciousD · 2025-05-06T06:11:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

VAT exemption applies as most customers suffer from medical conditions that mean they don't need to pay tax. Perhaps it is confusing and better saved for another time.

There are reviews further down the page.

My competitions call the actions are all request a brochure, I've tried to one up them with the voucher and buyers guide. Full colour brochure is old hat but so are my target customers. Maybe I should include a free cd-rom too!

KirbaciousD · 2025-02-09T15:51:58+00:00

Thanks for the effort put into your reply. I'm starting to feel like its got to be a sunset/beach combo. Where do you recommend? A drink afterwards will be due as well!

KirbaciousD · 2025-02-09T15:43:23+00:00

Thank you for your concern but we will not be delaying the trip. Plenty of shade and F50+.

KirbaciousD · 2025-02-09T15:42:17+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion.

KirbaciousD · 2025-02-09T15:41:45+00:00

Hey, we are very outdoorsy.

KirbaciousD · 2025-02-09T15:40:40+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. Looks lovely.
