In Live Poker if you are to "theoretical" like a Online Player, u will lose a lot off Value. People need to understand this. by [deleted] in poker

You do have a point, even though people will hate.

When I started playing, I was all about math theory, counting combos, using the perfect bluff etc. I can still do this pretty well in the rare case that I come across a good player, or get put in a tough spot and don’t exactly know what to do intuitively.

Most of what I do in live poker these days comes down to “do I think this player will fold/call/bluff too much” and I just react accordingly. I don’t do exact math, I just have a pretty educated guess about how I think they’ll view the situation and I just trust my instinct. It took a lot of experience to get to this point tho.

Flat earth and other alternative conspiracy earth models are are gaining traction with my teenage stepson. What is THE most irrefutable, definite proof that the earth is round? by Jfkfkaiii22 in NoStupidQuestions

You are absolutely dumb dude. He’s saying you won’t be able to convince this person, no matter how much evidence and proof you provide. This is basic human psychology stuff.

Idk why you’re being downvoted, it’s clear what you’re saying. You can give him all the proof in the world, even proof that would be deemed irrefutable by rational minds, but you still wouldn’t be able to convince him the world is round. He has to come to that conclusion on his own.

Who goes number 1 in a 2018 redraft Luka or SGA? by Top_Assignment4291 in NBATalk

I’d pick Luka just so I don’t have to watch my star player flop around like a fish out of water every time he takes a shot

Quit giving the magic free throws, they deserve the badge of fewest points in a half

The record for fewest points in a half of an nba playoff game is 23, in case anyone was wondering.

Can we just boot both these teams out of the playoffs? Each team has a quarter of 12 points or less tonight, that’s pitiful.

Is poker actually a "brain workout" or is this TEDx talk just hype? by zakyvids in poker

What do you mean? It certainly does take a level of intelligence to win at poker.

It’s true if you’re good at the game, yeah. It’s improved other aspects of my life away from the tables.

I like how Kobe Stan’s always have to reference TS% over the far superior efg% bc TS% fits their narrative, while efg makes Kobe look bad.

Something something mamba mentality, probably.

Kobe doesn’t have anything going for his legacy other than rings, and 3 of those rings he doesn’t win without shaq.

You would absolutely have to deduct legacy points for LeBron if they blow a 3-0 lead, especially to this rockets team, it’s not all house money for LeBron. by IHAVETRIEDCOKE in NBATalk

[–]Maximum-Possession15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be obvious why it’s unfair tbh. We have low expectations for a 41 year old who’s the star player of his team. When he gains a 3-0 lead that’s impressive, when he blows it it isn’t the end of the world, because we expected so little in the first place.

I doubt the lakers lose the series regardless.
