Anyways, "other roommate" is now an assistant city manager for a prominent city in Texas.

When Shaq goes the line, we don't want him to fail. We just know that overweight 7 foot centers who don't care to practice free throws are likely to fail.

Really? lol I think it's funny. But the funnier thing is when people do it to me half the time I don't even know because I'm looking at another table.

Only played 6500 hands so far, but I noticed that as far as the labels go the most reliable ones are table hero, rock and loose cannon.

Rock/Folding Pro/Wannabe Pro seem to ebb and flow depending on card distribution. But no one is accidentally a rock so that's a pretty reliable one in that they're going to have a reasonable pf range.

A decent player can sometimes be a table sheriff if they get a run of cards so I reserve judgement when I see that one until I see more hands.

Only thing I dislike is you can't see the other persons cards at showdown even when they call or you call them. Like what is that?

So when people complain about bad beats they're just doing it to be relatable to the whales?

what am i missing

i'm pretty sure many people genuinely think that they run bad. and that it's rigged against them.

but mathematically speaking 90% of people can't run worse than the other 90%. unless the only thing they have in common is that they are losing players and don't understand basic statistics.

I pretty much agree with all of this, particularly the showdown part, albeit if we call them we always see their cards, no?

it's only if river goes check check that only the winners cards are shown

i used to be table hero almost exclusively (over 1-2 tables) until I started 4-tabling as a more/less default to increase volume over short/more focused sessions. Usually table sheriff now. Occasionally wannabe pro. I'm not sure the last time I've seen anything else.

At 1/2, where being in tune with the game flow/player tendencies is more important Wannabe seems to be more effective though so I tighten my RFI accordingly and very rarely cold call reducing VPIP. And 3-table max. but otherwise, I think 4 tabling is a sweet spot.

Does anybody have insight as to how "safe" the bigger games are? It seems a little risky. I've heard it's extremely easy to collude or even sit at the same table twice.

Want to prop bet? My hair might thin slightly when I get to 70s and beyond if I make it that far, but won't go bald.

My hair is actually quite long now since I haven't cut it in 2 months. It hasn't been this long since before I went to the Marines.

strat influx oops but people station rivers way too wide on paired boards on that app.

i.e. i overbet shoved 10s OOP on K-K-8-6-4 after turn went x/x and a wannabe pro snapped me off with worse. seems to be a very reliable pattern.

benefits of table sheriff/hero image lolz. yw

No, you only see their cards if they hold the winner. Regardless of if it's they're calling your bet or yore calling thers.

I would bet that table hero is not profitable over any reasonable sample.

Yeah that's the thing about wherever bigger games are. There's always incentive for cheaters so there's always going to be a risk there imo.

That's why I especially don't like that you can't see showdowns. That's really weird to me.

definitely not optimal but quite profitable in some of these lineups .50/1 and below.

In live poker, people raise way larger, and almost every SRP is multiway, at least in TX. So SPR is quite low.

On PokerBros, people raise to a more standard sizing and there is less l/c or limping in general. SPR's are significantly higher. So there is more maneuverability and incentive to try to play as many hands as you can profitably.

Plus rb is cool and makes being a whale a little less spewy.

but yeah i dont do that in tougher games with lots of wannabe pros. cut the VPIP in half.

also most importantly, the main benefit is that you get paid off huge when you have it/are going for thin value. People put way too much weight into your tag on the app from what I've seen. Or they're just super stations vs everyone.

sigh, just went onto the app to verify the 'can't see showdown thing' and got stacked first hand
