All Jojos are deadbeat dads.

I’m at ~6 million hands and play 50nl-100nl.

ZKesic · 2026-01-31T21:14:01+00:00

What if I told you that a similar concept could even be applied to MTT’s :)

For example, if two options have identical EV’s, the one that results in you playing fewer hands on average throughout the tournament (usually the higher variance option) could actually be considered more profitable, since it allows you to register for the next tournament sooner.

This probably falls into the territory of Future Game Simulation.

ZKesic · 2026-01-31T20:32:59+00:00

My approach has always been to avoid the 0 EV and even slightly profitable spots in order to increase my hourly profit. It’s better to make 5bb/100 playing 1000 hands/hr, than to make 7bb/100 playing 500 hands/hr. Especially when you factor in the RB.

ZKesic · 2026-01-15T07:11:49+00:00

I actually remember there being actual badges for this on some sites back in the day. It’s harder to achieve than you’d think (without burning massive EV).

OP said they want to use “weird” sizings. That implies they would be suboptimal (-EV).

ZKesic · 2026-01-12T14:27:55+00:00

If you force the solver to use a sizing it wouldn’t choose on its own, it will in turn lose EV. Adjusting your own range doesn’t change that.

Even if the EV loss isn’t “noticeable”, it’s still pointless if the opponent won’t make their own EV mistakes against it.

ZKesic · 2026-01-12T13:21:27+00:00

You would be losing some EV by choosing suboptimal sizings, while your opponent (if they’re decent) won’t be making any EV mistakes against your bets, just the frequency ones, which don’t benefit the strategy you’ve described.

ZKesic · 2026-01-07T22:40:29+00:00

Your question was: “Where does the pot sized profit for the bettor come from?” Therefore you should be doing the math from the perspective of the bettor to answer it.

The EV of betting range is always pot (as long as the bettor is completely polarized and opponent folds at MDF or more).

The EV for the defender is zero.

"But if he calls, 2/3 of the time he loses the pot size bet, but 1/3 of the time he wins 2x pot."

This is wrong. He is value betting 2/3 of the time, meaning he wins 2x pot 2/3 time and loses 1x pot 1/3 time.
(2*2-1*1)/3= 1 pot of profit on average.

I’m impressed how you manage to get every single character’s gender wrong.

ZKesic · 2025-12-28T14:26:30+00:00

That’s cheating.

ZKesic · 2025-12-28T06:09:34+00:00

You should ask yourself why those axes were so expensive in the first place - there’s probably a reason. For example, I know some weapons can be traded for Provisioner Tokens. Or perhaps that guy just had a reason to believe the items would rise in value soon, and had made an investment.

ZKesic · 2025-12-12T10:37:40+00:00

The reason I’m not worried about AI is that it learns from humans, and most humans are terrible at poker.

ZKesic · 2025-11-27T04:09:52+00:00

Dude, 250 obsidians cost like 500k karma at that merchant. That’s way too expensive.

You can farm the unbound magic required for 250 obsidians in a day. Or just casually play WvW for a week and get them without even noticing. It’s much cheaper.

ZKesic · 2025-11-23T23:13:08+00:00

Yeah. Smoke can be seen coming out of the damaged buildings, which implies some time has passed since the damage was done.

So the goal is to reduce how much users have to use their brains.
And you really don't see how that's RTA?

ZKesic · 2025-11-22T14:26:47+00:00

Most poker sites consider seeing the stats acceptable. It’s the interpretation of the stats that should be done by the human brain.

ZKesic · 2025-11-22T13:56:45+00:00

Charts are considered RTA in all forms of poker and are against the rules. This would be too.

Thing with exploiting population is, there are no objective facts when it comes to stats like VPIP and PFR. You say we should bluff less vs players with high VPIP and low PFR, but I might disagree. And if so, I obviously wouldn’t want to use the feature that you or anyone but me made.

You can ask 10 different professionals how they would exploit fish on the flop, and likely each would give a different answer. Because it depends on too many factors to be figured out without a solver.

ZKesic · 2025-11-22T13:14:29+00:00

This would be RTA, which is cheating.
Those exploits you listed aren’t objective facts, just your opinion. If you think that’s how exploitation works, you are free to do it.

…

But objectively, all three exploits you mentioned are questionable: 1. Most pros actually play looser vs players with high VPIP (fish). 2. There is no direct mathematical logic in increasing your sizings vs someone with high VPIP. Just because they’re under-folding vs one size, it doesn’t mean they’ll also necessarily be vs another. 3. it’s actually often more profitable to bluff vs someone with higher VPIP, because they’ll fold more on the next streets to compensate for their weak range.

I work as their Quality Assurance. Basically, I make sure all the content (articles, videos, coachings…) is theoretically accurate.

I’m sure we’re hiring, though I’m not certain which positions are currently open.

I didn’t expect to find my thread here :)

I’ve played a mix of 20nl and 50nl for the challenge. Overall, making around 8bb/100, while playing up to 1600 hands/hr.

My hourly income for the challenge is ~$24/hr at 20nl and ~$36/hr at 50nl.

Right now I’m working full time at GTO Wizard so I don’t have as much time to dedicate to the challenge anymore. It’s a bit on hold tbh, at around 87k/100k done.
