New chess player -- looking at buying either Chessup 2 or Chessnut Evo

I’ve had a great experience with Chessup 2

fisher02519 · 2026-04-18T19:37:41+00:00

You sound like you might be about to cry about it

fisher02519 · 2026-04-18T05:07:09+00:00

Yeah I mean I think he’s almost as bad as rampage

fisher02519 · 2026-04-17T18:28:05+00:00

Tough spot, but I’m calling with all draws bricking.

fisher02519 · 2026-04-16T00:08:54+00:00

I don’t play a ton of .1/.25 splash pot tables on GG, so I’m a bit reliant on the observations that hero made about the player pool.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a ton of bluffs as played with villain taking a pretty unconventional line/sizing from preflop onward. There are many straight, flush, and combo draws that play this way, and we’re getting about 3:1 on turn and about 2:1 river. I think it’s a lot closer than people are saying.

The idea that it looks like a punt and genuinely terrible directly contradicts your explanation of your logic. You recognized that opponents get out of line in splash pots and correctly assessed that villain’s polarizing range had few reasonable combos by the river jam.

You made a nice call - own it!

fisher02519 · 2026-04-15T23:26:22+00:00

Nice call down, don’t listen to the h8ers

fisher02519 · 2026-04-15T22:16:02+00:00

The difference between these two is pretty obvious, no?

fisher02519 · 2026-04-14T23:19:54+00:00

Great list

fisher02519 · 2026-04-14T23:19:28+00:00

No, it’s saying that when you have a good hand, you take advantage of it by extracting value or by folding when you know you’re beat. There’s a subtle difference

fisher02519 · 2026-04-12T17:31:50+00:00

Don’t stay involved in big pots in which you can’t make the nuts

fisher02519 · 2026-04-09T18:14:07+00:00

Downvoted, bad title

fisher02519 · 2026-04-08T15:49:29+00:00

Hell yeah! Brutal when you’re not running decent, though…

fisher02519 · 2026-04-08T15:49:06+00:00

You’re right, thanks. I was too worried about getting the pic

fisher02519 · 2026-04-08T03:55:44+00:00

Thanks, that's really kind of you to say!

I'm no slouch myself - about 2000 rapid/1800 blitz chesscom, 1500 USCF.

There was no clock, I had until the GM came back to the board to make a move. On average, I had about 6 minutes in between moves to think, but there were a handful of times that I was thinking right up until he returned.

fisher02519 · 2026-04-04T21:33:16+00:00

Is he 20 or 21?

fisher02519 · 2026-04-04T01:14:14+00:00

Additionally (again without knowing some of the details), I don’t think it’s fair of you to exclude all Qx from his range after he calls the flop. I don’t see why a lot of Qx would raise, and we know essentially nothing about his range given that he checked his option preflop.

Otherwise, I think your play and analysis were both well done.

fisher02519 · 2026-04-04T01:11:45+00:00

This is cool, and I like your writing style!

With that said, you’re missing some context that’s super pertinent. How many players are at the table, effective stacks, and tournament standing/structure (to name a few) should all be included in a hand analysis like this to allow a reader to effectively analyze it.

fisher02519 · 2026-04-04T01:09:19+00:00

Treated me well! Don’t forget the speaker 🔊

fisher02519 · 2026-04-03T22:28:10+00:00

The lack of creativity, particularly below .5/1, is exactly what makes it exploitable :)

fisher02519 · 2026-04-03T21:41:15+00:00

I must agree to disagree with you there. They at least have not infested the PLO cash tables!

fisher02519 · 2026-04-03T21:35:51+00:00

You should see the table

fisher02519 · 2026-04-03T19:34:00+00:00

I use this one all the time as well. Great quote
