This has got to be you. I didn't even watch the video beyond the introduction, but basically everything matches up

Yeah.... I’m not watching that.

Please leave.

Spoiler:
I actually watched three seconds and turned it off when you couldn’t even find someone the same age as me. I’m not 21 yet.

Trust me, I couldn't care less about how well you succeed/fail at poker. I just thought it was a coincidence that this video popped up on my YouTube.

I mean I didn’t watch the interview but it looks like you literally just linked a vid of some random guy who plays poker and said everything matches up to me.

I looked up this guy in a chess database and he’s rated 700. For reference, that’s like 5nl in poker. He doesn’t really play it nor was he ever good at it.

I was rated higher than that when I was 5.

So I saw your post as trolling, which is not appreciated in here.

What have you guys been doing to get your exercise in?

I’ve always played pickup basketball as my main source of cardio so have struggled to find a good replacement these past five months.

Running, pull-ups, pushups and yoga videos

Pushups, situps, and walking.

Thanks for the recs guys.

Apart from walking, I don’t do any of the above really so could be a good change.

S&P 500 is made up from the top 500 publicly traded companies that are all extremely well positioned with their current assets and investors. These are the top top companies who will be buying up mid and low end chains/brands on the cheap now as the latter can't sustain themselves or don't have available investors.

The only thing that the S&P500 going up right now shows is that the mega rich are getting richer. And they are doing it by buying smaller companies for pennies. It's not an accurate representation of the local economy.

Top 8 S&P500 listed companies by Google just now:
Microsoft Corp (MSFT)
Apple Inc. ...
Amazon.com Inc (AMZN)
Facebook Inc (FB)
Berkshire Hathaway (BBRK.B)
Alphabet Inc- A shares (GOOGL) and Alphabet Inc- C shares (GOOG)
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM)


EDIT:

And in case you were wondering which type of serial you want to buy- they are all owned by the same mega corp. I've worked for Unilever before and they own 1000s of main brand products. You like Coka Cola or Pepsi it dont matter cuz it's the same company

Good points. I’m aware.

My poast was actually just a needle at anyone who shifted their asset allocation drastically out of equities because they were scared.

Random Hands from recently.

Feel free to share your thoughts.

HH1: Rate my Spew

I have Main Villain tagged as a weaker player from a previous session but no notes on him… Weird.

I’m new to the table.

60NL 6-max
Trululaso (BB): $60
Smallmonkey (UTG): $75
Hero (MP): $60
Bad_Alibi (CO): $50
Limp_call (BTN): $60

I open Kd10c $1.80. CO calls. Everyone else folds.

Flop ($4.20): 8d-9c-4d. I bet $2.80. V calls.

Turn ($9.80): 8d-9c-4d-Js. I bet $7.73. V calls.

River ($25.25): 8d-9c-4d-Js-Ac. I bet $17. Thoughts?

HH2: Overplaying TPTK

MP has a 50%+ VPIP (can't see exact or any other stats except PFR) and is a weaker player.

BTN is new to the table. No reads/notes.

60NL 6-max
Trululaso (SB): $70
Smallmonkey (BB): $75
Hero (UTG): $60
------ (MP): $70
Limp_call (CO): $70
Floplife (BTN): $50

I open $2.10 with AcKd. MP calls. BTN calls.

Flop ($7.20): Ah-8h-Jc. I $4.80. MP calls. BTN calls.

Turn ($21.60): Ah-8h-Jc-Qs. I $14.40 (?) MP AI. BTN AI. Hero? I have <$40 behind. I need about 25% equity to call, if I’m not mistaken.

Should I be betting this turn multiway OOP in the first place?

HH 3: Everybody likes a Hero...

BB has a 33-50% VPIP and lowish PFR and 3! But no relevant reads.

UTG has a 50%+ VPIP and I have him tagged as an “aggro donk”.

60NL 6-max
AntiHero901: $60
vivito444 (BB): $140
pokerdreams3 (UTG): $200
Dubleezy (MP): $40
Lucifer1 (CO): $120
Hero (BTN): $140

UTG opens $1.20. I cold call 10d10s. Have been experimenting with both 3betting and calling here. BB 3-bets $5.60.UTG calls. I call.

Flop ($17.10): 7h-7d-5s. BB c-bets $8. UTG folds. I call..

Turn ($33.10): 7h-7d-5s-8d. BB bets $28. I fold?

Thoughts?

HH4: Max Value with one pear


According to the app, Main Villain had a VPIP 33-50 and PFR above 25 at the time of this hand.

60NL 6-max
sportfisher (SB): $115
Hero (BB): $95
BobLA (UTG): $85
rAt28 (MP): $70
YungGuav (CO): $120
IchaseDREAMS (BTN): $60

UTG limps $0.60. MP opens $2.10. I 3-bet $7.80. MP calls.

Flop ($17.70): 10s-6c-5d. I bet $6. V calls.

Turn ($29.70): 10s-6c-5d-9c. I bet $18. V calls.

River ($65.70): 10s-6c-5d-9c-10h. I put V AI for $36.

I got called by worse but not sure what the best line is vs. this player type. Thoughts?

HH5: A-high deep vs. good reg

According to the app, Main Villain had a VPIP 20-32 and PFR 15-32 at the time of this hand. Good reg ime. Notes on him: “Tripled 8-7-7-7-5 with KJo. 33%, 50%, 100% sizing scheme”

60NL 5-handed
YungGuav (SB): $225
PopTart6907 (BB): $55
Hero (UTG): $160
DaddyJune (CO): $50
Whodini (BTN): $135

I open $2.40 AdKc, presumably because of weaker player in the BB. SB 3-bets to $9.30. I call, in part not wanting to get 5-bet this deep.

Flop ($19.80): 10s-4s-4h. SB bets $6.90. I call.

Turn ($33.60): 10s-4s-4h-6c. SB bets $10.80.

River ($55.20): 10s-4s-4h-6c-8s. SB bets $55.20. I fold.

Not unsure about anything in particular but seems kinda meh all around. Thoughts?

hey RTP,

Hope all is well.

H1 is wp
H2 I prefer at bet OTT ~12-15 as played it’s a tough spot..seems like you are calling to chop at best most of the time, but given vs stats don’t think you can fold
H3 bet flop. As played fold OTT
H4 personally would like a small bet there OTR ~10.

thanks for the feedback man. Doing well, hope you are too. glgl

Betting flop is probably best but also If I’m x/range OTF in H3 multi-way I think I’m protected enough to just fold this combo vs. this sizing. I’ll have AA, QQ, KK, JJ, 109s and sometimes 88s and 67s as well.

HH1:
100NL 99s facing triple on 10-6-6-3-4

According to the app, V currently has a 20-32 VPIP and PFR >15. Notes on him from previous session: 3-bet me CO vs. BTN twice. C-bet 554hh 50% pot and then shut down on 6x-2x. Down 1-3 buyins.

DeadBeatDead (SB): $50
UJogoo (BB): $135
Hero (UTG): $110
Poker338212 (CO): $105
solyros5 (BTN): $100

I RFI $3 UTG w/ 9h9c. CO raises $9. Folds back to me. I call.

Flop ($19.50): 10s-6d-6s. I check. V bets $9.75. I call.

Turn ($39.00): 10s-6d-6s-3s. I check. V bets $19.50. I call.

River ($78.00): 10s-6d-6s-3s-4h. I check. V piles $68. Hero?


HH2: 60NL AsKh 3-bet pot multi-way Line Check

According to the app, CO currently has a 20-32 VPIP and PFR >15. Notes on him: capable of thin value bets. Snap dbl barreled K-6-4-6 as PFR IP and gave up blank river. Up 1-3 buyins at the time of this hand.

According to the app, BTN currently has a >50 VPIP. No other info.

MP is new to the table. No info.

Hero (SB): $120
Dubleezy (BB): $40
PokerWorm1 (UTG): $40
JGold713 (MP): $60
Pavito (CO): $85
littleshrimp (BTN): $105

MP RFI $1.80. CO raises $5.70. BTN cold calls. I overcall AsKh SB trying to play a pot underrepped with BTN. BB folds. MP folds.

Flop ($19.50): 10h-10s-5d. I check. CO bets $6.60. BTN calls. I call, because BTN did and pot odds.

Turn ($39.30): 10h-10s-5d-Kc. I check. CO bets $26.20. BTN folds. I call..

River ($89.00): 10h-10s-5d-Kc-4d. I check. CO shoves $45.16. I call.

I think every street is meh, so just wanted to provide justification. Turn seems like it could be a really nitty fold once CO continues into two players for that sizing?


HH3: 100NL 8d8s Line Check

According to the app, UTG currently has a 33-50 VPIP and PFR >25. Notes on him: spewy & high VPIP but Tag-ish. Down 1-3 buyins at the time of this hand.

Turn ($89.00): Kd-6d-2c-5d. UTG checks. I check.

River ($89.00): Kd-6d-2c-5d-4s. UTG checks. I check.

Thoughts?

According to the app, CO currently has a 33-50 VPIP. Notes on him: cold called 3-bet with QQs and then called PFRs 100 BB shove. Up 1-3 buyins at the time of this hand.

According to the app, UTG also had a 33-50 VPIP. Notes on him: passive.

MillerTime (BB): $195
