While we're on the subject, I think table selection is a super important aspect that many ignore. I dont care if you have a roll, bluffing and value betting considerations are paramount to your success as a player.

meh unfortunately that is probs true. the other day this whale dumped 8 buyins at .50/1. i B/E vs him (LOL) but that situation is way more profitable than playing with guys like spyu and Miami, even on their C game.

Deep State Deeper Throat


Globogym The Reopening TR

They shortened the hours to close early, normal late afternoons would still be mostly blue hairs, but yesterday was mostly bros. I was the only non-employee wearing a mask. No poseroebics classes so few females.

I just did two near empty sets on a full circuit. Strength down obv but -2 lbs from 6 weeks of 5 mile runs.

They taped off 2/3 of the treadmills to ensure social distancing. Fine. But they extended the logic to the locker room and taped off most of the sinks and lockers

Pool also closed, can covid survive chlorinated water?

On the plus side they replaced the missing hand sanitizer dispensers and actually kept them full, I hope it lasts.

empty barbell squats suck, right through the mask.

For those of you that have/have had clients in some capacity, how do you handle losing them? I'm mostly referring to situations where it's out of your control and there's not much to learn from it. Similarly to mega bad beats i guess.

If it isn't painful for you every time, how do you go about getting used to it?

I mean, this subject is worthy of a book, not a quick post

1. it's definitely worth finding the appropriate time and way to ask the client why they're leaving. this may be a month after it's happened when it's less raw - people often don't like giving negative feedback/the real reason initially

pitch it as 'I really care about my business and want to improve and I'm really interested in your feedback' or sth. would you recommend me to a friend? what can i do better?
what would you have wanted more of? and then listen and keep asking....it's usually the last reason they give that's the real reason.

2. at the end tell them how much you appreciated working with them, enjoyed it, valued their time would love to do it again in the future. would it be ok to get back in touch in a few months etc etc.

internalise and learn from it or work through if it was your fault or not.

potentially find a way to float this feedback with existing clients, see if they feel the same. adjust your approach if appropriate.


people move on from service providers all the time. it's part of any business. your role is to maximise the length of those relationships so that you minimise the amount of new business you have to do. the way to do that best is to listen to your clients, learn from it and adapt.

sometimes there's nothing to learn and it's their problem or it's out of your control. in which case it'll be far easier to brush it off. most of the time where they've moved on for a reason that was in your control, it's your responsibility to find out what that reason was and to learn from it.

great advice

having been on both sides, a lot of the time it was never meant to be a long term situation in the first place imo

Actually won, but I am so snakebit of late that I legit said to myself, if I flop a set I'll probably lose. Ran out K K but I'm guessing neither flopped a straight bc very few people full slowplay and I never saw any holding.

My point was twofold. First, settings allow you to see more than 25 posts/pg. Second, even without that change, 500 pages in this thread is nothing. The old thread, at your settings, would have been well over 12k.
