Non-fiction tho
I don't wanna know that crazies actually do exist in real life

a new movie of it is coming out soon, ever read Murder on the Orient Express?

Yea true stories freak the **** out of me. Like there is literally no horror movie that can keep me awake but some standard 20/20 talking about a wife that poisoned her husband bc he wasnt home enough or whatever freaks me the hell out.

Also, No Country for Old Men, so ****ing good. Gas station coin toss scene is top 5 cinema scenes of all time imo.

Completely different than what you're asking but I really enjoyed Lethems "gun with occasional music". The best way to describe it is noir meets sci-fi

They're dead now though so it's OK.

One of the next books on my list is Blood Meridian which is supposed to be McCarthy's best work.

glgl!

Who's puttin' on their big boy pants???

C'mon, it's only like 2 BI amirite?

I don't live in a cave like you trollie Ty!

2) what makes u think he is unbalanced? This flop is much better for a SB cc range then yourself. Id actually rather raise IP more polarized, you have a good hand to just flat IP versus a very strong line from villain. Rather use J9ss with backdoors.

I actually think the line isn't that strong. Didn't mention that V was a non-reg. By unbalanced I meant non-regs' donking ranges tend to be super unbalanced (weak) and if they have a big hand there they usually go for the checkraise. My hand doesn't have any sdv so I'd rather try to make him fold (but I could be wrong cuz I haven't studied playing w donks yet).

That end of the year post

This was a vindicating year for poker. The first few years since I started this thread I ran extremely below ev and it wrecked havoc on me mentally. I ended last year on a big downswing also and didn't see how it would ever change. Even though I was winning overall, what feels like wasted effort and a sense of unfulfilled entitlement lead me to almost quitting a few times. (Totally okay with admitting entitlement btw) (also thank you for listening if I ever complained to you).

Anyway, I stuck it out and ended up doing really well this year. (Might put up a graph later.) Finally had good and great sessions but no bad ones playing bigger games. This year I played higher and sat with more money than I ever did before so that felt like a nice accomplishment - because I didn't randomly land there on a hot streak but step by small step through persistence and over time. Played online a bunch also and won a little.

So yeah, variance in live poker is real even over thousands of hours. Next year I'll be working on correcting the ev of those bad regs who have ran way above ev lifetime (and less of a bad reg myself ).
