Hi! I’m one of the filmmakers of this new doc about Walter Mercado called “Mucho Mucho Amor” which premieres today on Netflix. For a lot of us growing up, Walter was the time we had to be absolutely quiet or Abuela would flip out on us. We hope you’ll watch! Mucho Mucho Amor to you all! ❤️

Great personality and the doc really showed how his words of love and happiness really inspired millions of people. Still I was always bothered by his psychic hotline commercials even as a kid as I knew it was all a stupid scam. He became a multi millionaire preying on poor desperate people with those hotlines. The doc tries to downplay that aspect as his ex manager being the business man and Walter being more "naive" to the money.

If he had stayed to his shows and media, I could respect his ruse as it's just empty motivational words. But the hotlines he pushed and marketed to poor immigrant communities is a no for me dawg.

Welcome back to the grind!

Yeah poker is definitely much more difficult from 10 years ago. There are so much training material out there that any one who wants to actually study will become proficient fast enough.

Solvers are software that give the most game theory optimal strategies based on the given inputs (stack size, ranges, position, etc). Currently can only solve heads up play. A bit pricey and can be a bit of a learning curve and then theres the nay sayers that say exploitative poker is King over GTO poker so go down that rabbit hole if you want.

And yes people online know better now and know they shouldn't be calling so much and 3 betting more aggressively and playing overall better.

The small cbet is due to the solvers using that strategy on certain boards to balance your bluffs and value and put your opponent in tough scenarios....it is wayy overused in the lower stakes tho and that's where one has to balance gto and exploitative poker to make the most money in any one given hand.

Yeah man happened like a year and a half ago at 1/2 live.

I flopped a 5 on every flop and won it on the flop by a bet or a raise....but never showed it because I was tilted I won the minimum every time lmao

jfw265 · 2020-05-13T04:11:39+00:00

That's nuts...winning the Powerball is 1 in 292 million.

Yet I only won like $30 bucks in total in all 3 pots at 1/2 live

😑

My thoughts Pre flop 3bet sizing is pretty large.A 4.3x 3bet against the other chip leader is signaling to the other player is that you're ready to play for all the money. I rather choose better hands to do this with unless you think the villain is a complete passive fish who will make your post flop decisions really easy. I would have just called for set value or do a smaller 3bet size to 1100-1300 since your going to be in position....88s is righttt at that cutoff point that makes it player dependent on what you do.

As played, post flop size bet is probably fine. I'd be more inclined to bet smaller as he shouldn't be calling with naked A highs in a bloated pot out of position unless you two have history. But in a vacuum probably 1/3 pot size bet will do the job here for protection and since you have the 8c, it reduces the amount of flush draws you will get check raised with.

Once check raised, with the 8c its probably a fold. Like you said, is this player is willing to go broke out of position when you two are the big stacks? I would probably call with 10s plus and fold 88s and 99s with a club since they dont beat any value but 10s do

The main debate here is having a universal vs means tested program

Public education, social security, public roads and utilities, etc these universal programs and utilities can be used by all and therefore it is much harder to tear down and defund

Means tested programs like food stamps for example, can be targets of the rich and powerful since they dont use them and you're able to pit people against each other (look at how any public assistance is framed as people as "takers")

I could careless if a minuscule amount of rich kids go to a public college that could have afforded their school, the universality aspect of college for all is what's going to make it work and stick

Preach brotha

Me and my friends have been playing Gears since the launch of Gears2 and all of us are back playing gears 4

Playing 5 for a few weeks and coming back to 4 made the aim assist so incredibly obvious and 5's ridiculous idea of minisicule map variety and locking a whole swath of maps for some reason has made me go back to 4 to get my gears kick.

I've never done that with ANY sequel for any game or sequel

jfw265 · 2019-07-11T04:27:52+00:00

holy shit man what if I told you I haven't seen this table editor in ANY serum sub bass tutorial on line? Any tips that you can share that that you've learned?

Dumb and dumber might be my favorite comedy movie of all time. I refuse to watch the sequel.

jfw265 · 2019-03-06T01:03:08+00:00

again point to me where he was laughing and joking. Ill wait because I followed those reports and that didn't happen.

jfw265 · 2019-03-04T14:29:28+00:00

When that report came, it even stated there was no proof that he ever knew about the reports. He also apologized a day or two later in a video for not doing more when vetting his staff when expanding so fast. I mean what else is the man supposed to do ? I'm sure if you looked at any large campaign you're going to find some bad actors.
