Cheers and see you at tables!
Thanks mate, was actually super proud of that one
Gl with the 10ks, getting a garmin for sure increased my motivation and long distance running is a really good complement to poker imo, kind of active meditation

First question that comes to my mind: what are your thoughts on RNGs? How often do you use it in game (especially vs unkowns)?
Thanks mate
I actually haven't used an RNG for last few months since I got forced to use Aurora and lost starshelper, and know some of the best regs in the world never use them. That said I guess before this I had one for 3 years or so in all sessions
I think in general they are super overrated and stop you from thinking in depth about what the highest EV action is.
PIO will almost only mix when two actions are equal in EV.
In reality two actions will never be equal in EV, and your job as a professional poker player is to figure out the highest EV one and take it, especially at smaller stakes where the direction should be more obvious.
In some spots in the long run to play well I guess you need some form of randomisation (implementing polar cbet ranges) but can often use the card you are dealt first or your mood as a proxy, and only actually spin the wheel in the rare cases
I also think a lot of mixing in PIO occurs for reasons completely irrelevant in real life, EG if you pure cbet K8o and pure check K7o in a spot instead of having 50% of both it's completely impossible to imagine anyone will exploit it.
I think people use them as a crutch to avoid thinking about where EV really comes from and still feel like they are 'replicating PIO', and often see streamers spinning them even vs recs or weak regs which is clearly very illogical.
