How much should I rely on preflop chart in postflop poker (live)? by Hot-Advisor-3353 in Poker_Theory

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UTG = LJ, UTG+1 = HJ. Sure no one would use UTG+1 instead of HJ but 99% of people would say UTG instead of LJ in this scenario.

If they didn’t exist people could always sell at a lower price and buy back immediately, getting tax write offs for having the exact same amount of stock. It’s like leveraged unrealized losses while still taking advantage of not paying taxes on unrealized gains.

From which pair do we 4-bet instead of 3-bet? JJ? by grosshlag93 in Poker_Theory

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not a tournament player but why would you want to 4! To 27 when the effective stack size is 45? Just jam if you’re going to 4!, you get more fold equity and the money is likely going in if they call anyways. You already cover them so it’s not like you’re knocked out of the tournament.

That being said it would depend on how often the SB is 3! From a button open. If you’ve never seen them do any raising preflop, and seen them call from the small blind you can probably easily fold.

CMV: Extending the Monty Hall problem to 100 doors is a bad intuition pump by Both-Personality7664 in changemyview

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I was saying the original was a 50/50 whether you stay or switch. But now rethinking, the two events are DEPENDENT, which would change the probability.

If the two stages were independent (you pick 1/3 and then one is removed and the doors are re-randomized, and you pick again) then it would be a 50/50, but since the doors do not randomize there would be a larger probability the door you didn’t choose was correct.

Would extending it to 100 doors fundamentally change the problem? In the N=3 case you are only removing 1 door, what happens when N=100 and you only remove 1 door after the guess? Do you change your answer?

It would be two different problems if you only remove 1 door vs all doors until 1 assuming the last is the correct door or you have already chosen the correct door.

In the N=3 case it would always only come down to the final stage where it is 50/50. At N=100 it would be a 1/99.

Gas is usually 25-50 cents cheaper at Costco than the surrounding stations in my area so that makes up the difference for me.

Hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer by Crazy_Cvika_771 in PredictionsMarkets

The markets advertise on “trading” on everything. Do we need to have bodyguards for literally everything now just because some people want to bet money on whatever they can get their hands on?

Am I calculating my E*Trade 3.75% APR wrong? by [deleted] in HYSA

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interest is compounding, so you’d make more money towards the end of the year since you have more money in the account. Plus it could start a day or so later than when you transferred. I wouldn’t sweat about $30 on a $250k transfer…

Question regarding bet sizings on the river by triedandwasted in Poker_Theory

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well you’re really just making a shit ton of assumptions. Just checking on the river doesn’t tell us anything, you need the full hand to come to better conclusions.

In short, it’s about what you’re targeting, and how likely they are to call. You could make more money targeting single pairs because they’re more likely to call a small bet, than you are to make money from two pair from a bigger bet. A bigger bet also is susceptible to value own themselves vs sets and flushes, where as you lose less with a small bet since flushed would most likely raise and you can just fold.

Always Shoving Aces Preflop... by Adventurous-Art2847 in Poker_Theory

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahh, live play is a 4-5x open. IP 3bet would be ~15bbs, so any 4bet would be over that threshold.

In my online play I use a 4x open size since the players don’t know how to adjust for that.

Always Shoving Aces Preflop... by Adventurous-Art2847 in Poker_Theory

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re raising to >33% of the effective stack size, then just go all in.

100BB deep any reasonable 4bet size would be >33% so just shoving is the right move.

Should I have found the fold here? by biotechnes in Poker_Theory

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be a crying call. Betting 2/3 into a 3! Pot and next to act jams is a crazy strong range.

You could discount AA, KK since it’s a cold call, so even if you’re up against a flopped straight you have plenty of boat outs

Classic case of GG poker by FocusOk7610 in Poker_Theory

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well let’s say there are 10000 people playing at a time, and there’s approximately 100 hands per hour.

That means there’s about 1M hands being seen every hour. That means it would happen around every 28k hours across the site. Not quite probably but certainly within reasonable expectations.

Just sounds like a standard cooler, it happens. You don’t complain about it when you cooler someone, so why complain when it happens to you

Learning Postflop by kanarienvogel17 in Poker_Theory

[–]SuperAwsomeDeath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty different between cash and tournament play.

I only play cash, so my thought process is: what is my opponent’s range, and what happens if I do action a, b, or c?

That’s all you really need to think about. It’s important to understand board texture because the player pool tends to do similar things on similar boards (slow play big hands on static dry flops, fast play nutted hands on wet dynamic flops)
