20 days as a commuting weekend warrior with a 9-5 aint bad at all imo. Rest yer ass up and lets git sum turns in before they shut it all down

Gonna need the youtube link, sir. I will be providing a break down of every hand played free of charge. Most break downs will consist of, “That’s not how GG would have played that.”

you think alan eating and other hustler live guys are folding top pair there to a bomb?

I don't have any issues with David, although we're not friends either.

Based on what I've seen, I think between us my style is more balanced and harder to exploit.

I am a little bit at the moment, my apologies if I'm coming off as harsh.

I disagree with this in theory. Sure bad players are probably super unbalanced and mostly have spew in their overbets, but good players should be fairly balanced with them if they are studied in these lines. My worst value hand for a shove is 55 here, but once I see that you call me down with a hand you "shouldn't," I will adjust by putting A9/A7/A5 into my jam range as well. Sure I will value cut myself sometimes, but I'm going to win most of the time vs a call if you're calling too light thinking I have nuts or nothing.

I don't have any problem with you, but admittedly I was surprised that you went with the "maybe this is why you are in a big downswing" angle. Even as a joke, that seemed overly personal.

And you also wrote how in your own experience with DFS you realized you had stopped improving for a while which was responsible for your own "downswing," and you kind of projected that experience onto me and assumed that I stopped working on my game as well. Which is an incorrect assumption, but I'm sure you meant no harm by it. Anyway, I don't have any problem with you. It's done.

Not necessarily, but I still do think one pair is more likely to fold to 2x pot than just pot. And it's still important to have some bluffs in our range, it forces them to defend vs our value.

And yes I agree that vs some extreme calling stations it's perfectly fine to have 0% bluff and 100% value, but most of the time it's not so black and white and we should be bluffing at some frequency.

It’s all getting a little homoerotic. Who bums who when the inevitable Union happens?

this was just meant to show that I've been through similar and that while i stand by that most of it was variance, i definitely overlooked some leaks that i should have buttoned up earlier but didn't because for so long i'd been so successful and figured there was a non zero chance something similar was going on with you and if not, then it makes for a good bad beat story and everyone loves telling badbeat stories

Seems like you didn't read any of the posts I was responding to cause your responses are kind of random.

No one asked "where arethe best affordable places to live in Cali?" I was just naming places where 100k would go further. And Sacramento isn't that bad.

And the ATsai thing is weird. Someone mentioned a very good Chinese pro that plays at the Gardens named David and I guessed ATsai.

Is that considered an insult these days?
It's like you're reaching for some type of argument that isn't there.

Here's a boring hand:

$5/5. UTG limps. CO raises to $25. Hero raises to $60 otb with KK. UTG raises to $160. CO folds. Hero calls.

Flop QJ3 (pot $355)

UTG bets $130. Hero folds.

I'm simply not going to pay off some 70 year old man who limps and 4-bets. Honestly folding pre-flop is probably fine.

I think he’s referring to 5+ years ago when ATSai was a semi reg in here and was a charmless, graceless w anker

He is by all accounts, a very good poker coach and a decent guy irl so it was prolly just his online persona and some tonal translation issues from real life to online

I still have blisters on the roof of my mouth

And all of these monster hands checked around the flop. GTO has hit the fan.

I was responding to Turtle. I only quoted yours randomly because you named him.

Most of my multi-quote post was sarcasm/jokes/rando banter. I don’t think we’ve interacted enough for you to know that. Most everyone else here does.

I apologize for making fun of your home in Modesto.

FWIW, it doesn't sound like this ATsai guy and this Chinese pro David in my local games are the same person.

Regarding the SABR42 K6s hand history, I like how SABR42 played it on all streets. Well played sir.

I think that most LA 5/5 players will fold enough to the river OVERBET for it to be profitable.

ATsai is David. He used to post here long ago.

This was what I was driving at. Maybe it's just what he teaches on CLP and what I've seen on youtube, but my understanding of his style is that it is based heavily on exploits. Fewer imbalances lead to fewer exploits, and you probably get the money over time.

All good. Modesto too uppity I live in Stockton which is why I took offense.

Straight outta Stockton, crazy motherfkcer named Spy-u
From a 2+2 thread named The Pen, fool
When he calls off, you get stacked off
Squeeze the raise and a call, chips get hauled off
You too, small blind, if ya fkc with me
The floor dudes are gonna have to come and get me
Shovin' all-in, that's how you goin' out
For the punk motherfkcers that be callin' out

Donatello,

To my knowledge, his old CLP content and live stream footage of him playing are from 8-10 years ago.

I highly doubt that he plays anything close to the same style nowadays. How can you know what style he has?

Maybe SABR has played with him more recently than that, or SABR knows regs who have played with him more recently than that...

I dont, though there are videos from only 6 years ago. I'm gambling in my assertion that it hasn't evolved to a theory-driven approach, if he still plays at all. Theory was plenty available 6 years ago, and he still leaned into exploitative. I could be wrong, but I'd still bet on sabr.

Breck today went from skiddy at 9AM to slushy at 11AM. Bring yer wet suit if you're skiing past noon. The upper reaches were probably the same with an adjustment of time frame. The ungroomed trails were uncomfortable all morning. You have Ikon (Copper) option?

Plenty of bare spots on Peak 7 and 8. They closed 9 and 10 today.

Storm tonight might dump 5-10" of the moderately wet variety.

Question: Would SPC like a training buddy? I have a neighbor that is a Serious biker and has been in county for many years and probably has several routes that might interest her. Working stiff but can ride before or after. Let me know and I will reach out to him.

Chez Spew can still put the lamp out......

Now I can't tell the difference between 100,000 and 1,000,000, but it is almost a relief to be talking about skiing again. Getting a little too snippy. ELE, please.

boooooo

make let's make chat grate again!
