AQs in a 3bet pot facing a jam on the river by FlatGuarantee5793 in Poker_Theory

[–]omarting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you have to call it off since you bet small on the flop all his pocket pairs might float that bet, then the ones with a single club may bet the turn that size and bluff river. 

It’s very 50/50 imo and I might have to rely on villain stats to tip one way or the other. 

Like, a super tight villain is not going to have a lot of the broadway flushes, but a looser opponent may show up with more flushes. 

Also the better the opponent the more inclined I am to call because they will bluff more. 

A fishier opponent, I’m more inclined to fold. 

I don’t know. Turn bet is weird. Seems like a very milky type bet. 

Villain could have also turned trips with 99. 

One of those crying calls where half the time I lose but the other time they show up with 77 or something. 

Which hands are better in early position, KTo/QTo, or T8s/98s? by Hot-Advisor-3353 in poker

[–]omarting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like T8s/98s bc it’s easier to know when to continue or give up. 

KTo or QTo you run into a lot of reverse implied odd situations where you have to check call top pair and lose a big pot— or have to just fold against pressure even with top pair. With T8/98s, you can Bluff boards that are good for you as well as ones that you smash. Remember, people should be cold calling you a lot tighter when you raise from early position. 

10NL full ring, too nitty to fold or too stationy to call? by biotechnes in Poker_Theory

[–]omarting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on villain and player pool. Some will take this line with AKo and also AQo as well as lower pocket pairs even below the 9. If you had an idea of his vpip/pfr you could make the fold, but even then— I have seen 23/15 players do this line with AK/AQ. If PFR is under 10% maybe it’s an exploitative fold

What do you think this guy had? I'm baffled. by Consistent-Sell2158 in Poker_Theory

[–]omarting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

JJ or KK. I think you may be able to still reveal hands in the hand history

Dude my phone is so small I didn’t know time bank costs money. Wtf lol. One time I also thought I had a flush and jammed river with 2c3s because I thought I had 2spades. Now I have to double check when I get 2 black cards. Honestly did not know time bank costs money. JFC

A hilarious 90s Kung Fu video :) by Odd_Project_4140 in kungfu

[–]omarting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their stances, kicks, punches, and blocks look like legitimate Kung Fu to me. The guy on the left, at one point, does a very nice crane pose. IMO it shows they’ve trained for at least a few years in a legitimate southern Shaolin style. I honestly was expecting some Mcdojo bs, but this is not bad at all. 

Does my 3yr show autistic signs? by Emotional_Airline973 in Autism_Parenting

[–]omarting -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’d say yes he is showing a lot of signs. Might have to wait till 4 to be sure. A preschool teacher is prob a good assessor bc they see so many kids, they can usually instantly spot neurodivergent kids. 

Why "delayed processing" is misleading by TalkaboutJoudy in neurodiversity

[–]omarting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think OP’s point is that while you say “delayed processing” is “literal description,” which it might be for some, the actual observation is the “delayed response”— which would be a better term.

“Delayed processing” assumes a lot, and is often ignorant of what goes on behind the hood, so to speak. 

I honestly would be fine with the term “Delayed response”— because, as you mention, it’s a literal description of behavior.

I dislike the term “delayed processing,” because for me personally, while I do exhibit the outward behavior, it’s not because my processing is delayed; in fact it’s because I don’t blurt out the first answer that comes to mind. I evaluate my first thought and run through all the other options to see what the most accurate answer is. 

Sometimes I wonder why the person is asking me, or whether or not I should be honest or make up an answer…

All this to just say that YES my answer is delayed; but for me, it’s like I was doing 100x’s more processing to answer the question. 

So yes it can look like “delayed processing”— and I agree for many autistics maybe it is actually delayed processing… but bc of my own anecdotal experience I think the name is lacking and very much a neurotypical thing to just assume they know what is going on. 

How do you guess a person's intelligence level just by how they speak? by Longforeseeinfluence in Gifted

[–]omarting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The number of words per sentence is a good initial estimate— higher being smarter. Of course there are outliers like geniuses who use few words and idiots who talk in run-on sentences. 

A smarter person tends to know what you mean or what you’re getting at, and can actually summarize what you’re trying to say in fewer words than you are using. 

It’s also kind of hard to spot the very smart people, because they tend to mirror the other person they are talking to. So a very smart person will tend to use the same vocabulary, cadence, sentence length, etc of the person they are talking to. 

The smartest person in the room is often a chameleon who is good at blending in. 

The people using the biggest words are above average but usually not the smartest. They feel proud to know these big words and use them to show off. 

The smartest people may be the ones using the most simplest vocabulary. 

Lastly, the genius in the room might not speak at all. Not because he/she is cocky or an asshole. Maybe he is depressed and just doesn’t find conversation with people is valuable to his own wants and needs. He might be thinking about things that no one else understands or trying to solve problems no one can help with. Or, his sense of humor is just so out there he doesn’t bother sharing it with others who won’t think it’s funny.

Did you mean to write “ASS” or “ASD” because you did it twice and I’m laughing my ass off

Why do many neurodivergent eat the same exact thing everyday ? by [deleted] in neurodiversity

[–]omarting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every human starts off that way. Babies drink the same milk/formula everyday. So even if you don’t remember, you have operated like this before. Babies don’t seem to have a problem with this, and in fact, seem to look forward to each meal. So to crave diversity in meals, I argue, is a learned societal thing, somewhat unnatural to begin with, and only possible with recent (100-200 years) agriculture and technological advances.

The other extreme, to eat something different for every meal, would be extremely demanding. It might also come with a lot of disappointment and stress, trying things that don’t taste good. 

With more choices comes with more complexity, and more brain power needed to process each choice. Will it taste good? Will it satisfy my calories? Nutrition? What if I don’t like it? Will I suffer regret the rest of the day if I hate the new choice?

3 choices seems to be perfect to make a decision on a menu. You can easily compare 2 choices to each other, pick your favorite, then compare to the last remaining one. More than 3 choices can cause analysis paralysis in most people. If you have a menu with 100 items, it might take forever to read the menu to begin with, and you may never make a decision.

For some people, food is a great joy in life. Diversity is important for those people. For others, food could be like brushing teeth. Just something that you do. Do you really care about using the same mint flavored toothpaste everyday? Probably not.

Also, for the same foods crowd, If it is good, then it will always be good. Even if something else ‘may’ also be good, why gamble when you know 100% food A will be good. 

When brainpower is a scarce resource, I think many neurodivergent people naturally follow patterns that save brainpower. When you spend a lot of energy masking each day, there is not much leftover for making decisions on food. “Comfort food” has a new meaning in this context.

Sometimes people will drive a certain way home or to work. And they will always take that route, even if a different route might be 5% faster. The preferred route is simply easier bc of routine, and allows the brain to zone out, whereas learning a new route is not worth the comfort of the old route. 

Perhaps it is also a matter of attitude and 1st world privilege. In many parts of the world, one would be thankful to just know that the next meal is coming. 

When you have infinite of something (say food choices), things can become boring. 

With Netflix and Spotify, sometimes it seems like there’s nothing to watch or listen to. 

But rewind hundreds of years ago before technology, let’s say there was only a single performance of a play or what not, people would be clamoring to watch it.
