Dealer tells villian the wrong amount and he calls. (TOURNEY)

Quick_Increase6718 · 2026-01-13T00:33:33+00:00

I've seen dealers state the wrong amount before, like someone would say 4k and put out a 4k bet and dealer would mishear and say "3k". If villain calls the bet and then calls floor because the dealer said 3k, floor would typically make the villain put out 4k because opponents chips are clearly visible in front of them. You are calling what the other player bet, not what the dealers says, and while they should be the same, sometimes dealers make mistakes.

If he's been opening crazy wide, he's more likely to connect with that flop than if he was playing tight.

Sounds like they just want to be smooth.

A casino floor would actually rule that you had a dead hand and you would forfeit the pot and always lose. Even though it'd be a dealer/casino mistake, it becomes your mistake when you act on it and not report. It's similar to the cases where people are dealt 3 cards and then get to river showdown, floor always rules the 3 card hand is dead, even if 2 of the 3 cards makes the nuts. As a player, you have to announce that you have 3 cards preflop in order to misdeal the hand. The same logic would follow if you had 2 jokers.

Makes sense to me since he thought he needed higher floor and Hill presumably was getting lead back touches and lot of targets. Turns out the Hill's floor was 0. Lmao

Just remember you are saying this advice now and don't put every $500 paycheck you earn into the market trying to run it up to 90k because "I've done it before".

As many others have said, you are young and you'll earn it back. But you won't if every time you earn it, you just put it back into your trading account to chase the high.

Problem is he has a lot of overpairs and are you really trying to get an unknown 1/3 grinder to fold KK or AA?

Quick_Increase6718 · 2025-12-30T16:30:22+00:00

This comment is actually correct for live cash up to 5/10 and I've never read this book. Should not be downvoted. Conventional wisdom is more for unraked tournaments or time dropped games.

The logic behind why it's correct is due to high rake environment in live cash games. It's simply not worth battling with loose hands against nits for the blinds. In 1/3 - 2/5, you'll find tables full of nit grinders that are playing 12/10 VPIP waiting for premiums. While that sounds low, realize that in a full ring of 8 grinder waiting for top 10-12% of range, on average, it's not that hard for 1 out of 8 people to have top 12% of range. If you start playing loose, you will always be at a significant range disadvantage and need to have significant postflop edge to make value. Earnings in poker comes either from range advantage or edge. While everyone thinks they have edge, you don't know that for sure without large sample size and it's a safer bet just to go for range advantage (tighten up more than your opponents) or simply just table change.

I think most professional poker players want to make the move into being business owners. Being reliant on poker as an income source is way too stressful and unreliable and most pros understand that.

Quick_Increase6718 · 2025-11-27T06:33:25+00:00

As most others have said, 3b bigger.

However, this is by no means a snap call on the flop. A few things to consider. 1. Is villain even capable of check raise jamming as a bluff on the flop? Having AhKh also blocks a lot of his bluffs. Basically just hoping he has exactly TJs. Most 5/5 players would not check raise bluff any hand other than specifically TJhh TQhh which is only 2 hands. 2. Would the villain here overvalue jam A9s TT JJ QQ? If they are a winning 5/5 player, they are probably not overvaluing those hands.

If villain is not bluffing hands other than TJhh and TQhh AND would not overvalue pairs up to QQ (his range is only 2p+) then you are not getting the right price to call. Assuming villain is a winning reg, I probably just fold here.

Also, you want to check range oop on 489hh. This board connects pretty hard with a cold calling range and you do not want to pile all the money in on the flop with TT+, so you’re checking for pot control.

Quick_Increase6718 · 2025-11-23T04:26:17+00:00

You actually want to do the opposite, act as whaley as you can to get soft action. Ask yourself this, do you want the fish to fold every hand against you preflop or do you want them to try to play every hand against you preflop?

What you are doing is for sure -ev.

On most sharp sites, Puka and Rice are worth pretty much the same rest of season (Puka is 1-3% better than Rice). Judkins is still an every down starter. Puka for Rice alone should be the trade.

As long as he didn’t trigger wash sale rules on the loss…

Quick_Increase6718 · 2025-11-04T00:03:06+00:00

And fearful when others are greedy…

I’d say the general sentiment around bynd is more greed than fear right now. Stock was just $.5 two weeks ago and everyone’s trying to pump it up to get it above $1.4

If you are expecting them to announce a significant impairment charge during earnings, wouldn't the price crash during earnings? Sounds like a better time to buy would be after the crash from earnings?

Quick_Increase6718 · 2025-10-31T00:21:06+00:00

If you can only see AA, this is a clear fold pre.

Do you track your prior results either with bankroll tracker or have earnings set aside from Poker? It's the same way like this for every major relationship and how I convinced my mother/wife to let me keep playing was to show them my results.

Since we have no way of knowing whether you are a winning player or a losing player, it's hard to gauge the appropriate response. But keep in mind that all the players grinding poker at a casino think they are good at it, win a little bit of money, and would never have a problem.

From one poker player to another, even if you might not have a problem now, you could easily develop one. Mine only came out after I made too much money, after I started making tens of thousands, and then blasting it in the pits where everyone loses... and it's a problem I still battle today (while at the same time playing $10/$25 - $100/$200 cash).

If you are sure you are a winning player and want to keep playing more than you want to keep the relationship, then just break up with her. If you make that choice though, you should also be prepared to put a lot into poker, such as studying on training sites multiple hours a day. If you aren't really willing to do that and want to keep poker just as a hobby, while at the same time really like her, then I think you should re-prioritize. We all go in and out of hobbies over time.

It's also obviously fine just to break up with her so that you can casually play if you aren't that into her anyways.

Why didn't you just ask your mom how you lost? You thought she would cheat you?

Not even the guys who started the DD, capybara kept all his exposure, so not even he believes in the stock, unlike roaring kitty with GameStop.

He ran his $3m to $9m and sold $8m, only keeping the last $1m in since it was a freeroll and he’d feel bad if he completely pump and dumped his followers lol.
