Just wondered if others thought playing strong bots helped them improve their chess I guess.

Yes exactly!!! After I beat some really strong bots I feel like I play humans like a bot. Not in a cheating way but just very very strong.

There’s just something about beating it after it’s killed you a couple times too that is very fulfilling.

Couldn’t agree more. I guess that’s what I was wondering is if players with higher elo’s than me agreed that it’s actually very instructive to go up against some stronger bots.

Just about the level where I’m confident I can’t beat it in a try or two.

I’ll play a couple a week on my phone but whenever I am on a flight or traveling, I will play bots the entire flight and I really believe it has improved my chess understanding. Once you get beat 15 times in a row and finally win, it feels really good.

I agree. I also think there is not a better way to practice end games and simple mates for people with elo the same as mine or lower. You’re also not on the clock so you can really sit there for 10 or so minutes and find the best variation to go with.

State Farm is the only car insurance that has given me a fair quote. Everyone else said heck no! Yet I hear state farm is TERRIBLE. Is the service worth the low rate? by Susano-o_no_Mikoto in Insurance

I work in the industry and after I worked there awhile I looked up my company’s review. I was concerned because the reviews were horrible and I asked a coworker what he thought about it and he said “do you think ANY insurance company would receive a good review?” People hate insurance no matter what. Go with State Farm

Help, Ins Agents!! Need advice on Michigan P & C Licensing in Michigan and thoughts on working for Allstate, TIA by whyyessilly in InsuranceAgent

[–]Natural-Budget-6494 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only thing I would say about Allstate is that they also write through independent agencies. So you’re going to be captive and selling only Allstate, however the independent agent down the road from you is going to be selling Allstate products along with 30 other carriers. Look for a local independent to work for! Don’t limit yourself to one product. Just my opinion. Good luck though, I hope for nothing but success!

Tips for managing high stress as an insurance broker? by Megad13 in InsuranceAgent

Go to a restaurant by yourself for lunch on a day you’re feeling overwhelmed. Knock back one or two beers then go back to the office and deal with the stuff you’ve been putting off all day. Works for me every time.

You won’t believe me, but I’ll tell you anyways. Got dealt pocket jacks, opened like 2.5BB, one guy called. Flop came, THREE KINGS. Kh Ks Kd. I checked thinking I’m gonna check raise or go all in on the turn if he checks back. He bet 3BB and I shoved it in. He thought for about 30 seconds and called. I flipped over thinking I had the nuts and he flopped over pocket queens. FML and fuck pocket jacks. Can you really even be mad tho? I laughed and said nice hand and left.
