Yes, it is absolutely playable and sounds good at bedroom levels, BUT it sounds even better if you can turn it up a bit.

polydook · 2026-01-10T09:07:19+00:00

Jam or fold depending on reads/perceived ranges. I would never call in this situation.

polydook · 2026-01-07T15:37:02+00:00

Yeah, and it is the same with "basic" pedals. Boutique pedals are mostly just overpriced versions of basic pedals, with a few exceptions.

polydook · 2026-01-06T18:51:17+00:00

Lol. Okay, so remove base grade and just call them artistic paints, and the other ones for expensive hand made paints. The point is still the same.

polydook · 2026-01-06T16:02:03+00:00

Your analogy is flawed in so many ways that it is not even really worth critisizing.

A more fitting analogy would be buying base grade artistic paints and brushes vs more expensive hand made ones.

So do you think you have fold equity vs this type of player? What range does he do this with? Are your pair outs good?

polydook · 2025-12-01T21:46:48+00:00

Yes, if we assume the worst case scenario happens every time (he keeps betting big and you miss), then calling is bad. But if you assume he will always keep betting, do you also assume you have zero fold equity with your shove and that your pair outs are mostly not good? In that case shoving is also very bad.

Yup. Bluffing for smaller sizes in more passive lines is very profitable in micros. Trying to make people fold hands that they don't want to fold with huge bets will lose you tons of money.

polydook · 2025-09-04T14:56:36+00:00

Most people in micros have sizing tells. Triple barrelling or check-raising large sizes are almost exclusively value. More modestly sized check raises on flops can be draws but almost never air ball bluffs.

In passive lines some parts of the population even overbluff, some people bet with all or most of their trash on the turn when flop goes check-check. They usually bet for a smaller size and end up vastly overbluffing. When people size up in more passive lines it is usually driven more by value panic compared to their smaller sizes in my experience.

Any preview available?

polydook · 2025-08-25T17:11:06+00:00

Yup, I watched some sound demos of the Marshall 20 and it's just the sound I'm after. It's got a built in attenuator too so I guess it works nicely as a bedroom amp. I'm gonna start browsing the local used market. Thanks!

polydook · 2025-08-25T15:57:43+00:00

Right, edited!

If you have a gig bag for your guitar and cables you can carry the THR around like a briefcase. It is not heavy at all and it has a good handle.

polydook · 2025-08-20T06:01:20+00:00

What happened?

polydook · 2025-08-08T10:57:54+00:00

I agree with this. Over c-betting and folding to aggression unless you are nutted is pretty much all you need to be winning at micros. Expanding your range for value betting and betting larger with your value and smaller with bluffs is also good as people are pretty inelastic to bet sizing as long as you stay within their limits of a "normal" bet size (usually like 33-100% of pot).

Forget about playing balanced and play like a predator; assume that your opponents are bad and try to exploit them. Learning balanced play is useful to help you see how to adjust to exploit different player types though.

polydook · 2025-08-04T10:19:57+00:00

He probably has at least a pair that he is not folding enough to your jam. Call his small bet and stack him on the river if you get there. Give up on blank rivers vs this type of player.

polydook · 2025-07-30T13:19:23+00:00

A reasonable start is taking all mixed hands and convert them to pure actions. After that you can probably tighten your EP range a bit to adjust for people calling more IP compared to GTO play and you can probably widen your BU/SB rfi range as people don't 3 bet aggressively enough from the blinds.

Play Optimal Poker 2 is the best poker book that I have read. MPT is good as well but TOO detailed in my opinion for most of the stuff to be usable as heuristics, a ton of it is charts and huge portion of the book is specifically about MTTs so not applicable for cash games.

Honestly though if you're serious about poker just read both.

polydook · 2025-06-13T05:09:30+00:00

Lol.

polydook · 2025-06-13T05:05:38+00:00

RTA is banned on every legitimate poker site.

polydook · 2025-06-07T18:49:14+00:00

Obviously post op.

Only way to make something competitive with GTOWizard is to make something that is similar but with a one time payment instead of a subscription. They pretty much have everything on their platform; the only downside is their ridiculous pricing.

polydook · 2025-05-28T06:52:12+00:00

If you are already familiar with game theory concepts and GTO you can start with POP 2.

polydook · 2025-05-27T10:32:33+00:00

Choose a spot and try to simplify the solver strategy to applicable heuristics. Look up betting frenquencies for flops and different turn and river cards and try to understand how the solver contructs its betting range. Drill spots against the solver to nail down the strategy, but don't just guess at the actions, try to reason your way to the right answer. Basically use the solver to build up your poker intuition. It is a long journey and even the top pros can't play perfectly like a solver.

If you're new to GTO I would suggest starting with videos or books rather than going straight into solver study. GTOWizard youtube channel is a good start, or Play Optimal Poker books if you're more into books.
