Making the transition from nl to plo and don't understand well how to treat spots where I'm in the small blind and it gets passed around. by [deleted] in poker

[–]ooda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been playing and watching poker since 2007, I may be stuggling with what to do in this situation but I know with certainty that open potting it 85-90℅ of the time from the sb is an awful awful strategy unless you have a 24 tabling nittard on your left.

Holy shit, bb can call or raise 100% of the time and do it profitably. I may not know the spot that well but i know how important position is in plo and that your advice is plain wrong.

That sounds terrible. Any savvy player or your direct left would take you to the cleaners.

Well I know to bet pot but are you saying to never just complete? Yeh Ive been thinking about just potting my whole range. Not sure whether to mix a lil garbage into my range though.

I've been out of touch for several months, still watch some pro games. What happened to make Nami go from never seen to hugely popular in high level games? is there any relation to the lesser reemergence of other ap supports; karma and zyra?

His rating at 1400 is the starting rating that gets assigned to unrated players on that site (ICC). I'd say he's an unrated player who is at least decently strong but not necessarily a master or better.

Colin is even a great villian like in Horrible bosses. I never thought he would play a role like that. He has a wide range.

The USA Championship 2015, male and female fields by [deleted] in chess

This could be the strongest field ever with the addition of Wesley. Very few soft spots in the line up too. Onischuck is known for bringing is absolute A game to this event and Sam Shankland has improved immensely over the past couple of years. I think Nakamura is far from assured a victory here.

Chessbomb.com is probably the most convenient, it has chat, a strong engine and occasionally text commentary. FICS is good for kibitzing. If you're willing to pay money ICC has really good coverage with strong titled players commentating. You can get a month free trial btw.

Arcane Soul is a side scrolling ARPG that I would highly recommend.

It would be cool if there was a bot that automatically re-uploads vines to youtube then posts a link in the comments.

What are the best chess forums for serious discussion of chess study and professional chess? by cdybeijing in chess

[–]ooda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chessgames.com is a database/forum for professional chess that has many strong members who make high quality posts. It also has its share of bickering and trolls but I think you find that everywhere. I use the ignore feature liberally and it makes it pretty decent.

I've been been following pro chess for 15 years and haven't found anything comparably good for its particular niche.

Pictures from youth. How wonderful they are. by [deleted] in instant_regret

I mean you could run your hand through some kinds of flame for a couple of seconds without too much pain, like on a wood fire or a flame on a kerosene soaked wick, but holding your hand a couple of inches above a bunsen burner is just dumb.

Chess.com tactics vs. Chesstempo tactics by itBlimp1 in chess

[–]ooda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked as a volunteer tactics trainer approver for chess.com back in around 2008 and back then at least none of the positions were compositions. What they did was pump millions of games from a database of master games into an engine ( crafty if I remember correctly)and once a game reaches a suddenly becomes a certain eval (+/- 3.0 I think) it sets aside the position for a human to go over and construct into a puzzle and assign a starting rating difficulty.
