i know im not supposed to call all Jx and a lot will be folds but i was certain any Jx with a spade is a call as to block KJ with a spade. (bad flop float without it) but apparently you really dont want to block fd's here.

A7 is def not how you win at decent stakes. Such a punt. QQ could be a punt in non solver land as I don't think people call or raise F+T with certain hands, so river range is likely very very different. And just one or two combos in 4b pots change so much. So its likely b/e at best. Owel. Feel cool when you're right though.

Bit of a long shot. Is there any software that exists where you can delay your hotkeys not being able to work for a certain amount of time when it's your decision?

The amount of times I tell myself this is an easy bet/fold and that's what I'm going to do and then when i get raised I just snap call is too high.

I don’t know of any software that does such a thing, but maybe as ridiculous as it seems, an egg timer or something like that could serve the same purpose?
I assume that you’re playing high enough where you’re not 6+ tables or something and you could easily just manually give yourself 10-15 seconds on the egg timer as a device to help yourself take the time to rationally think spots out?
I also have a tough time with this exact thing.
Hope this suggestion doesn’t seem completely idiotic to you. lol

Time mojo kind of does this but I'm not sure it's allowed on PS anymore. It adds a specified delay after pressing a hotkey to prevent timing tells, and during that delay you can decide to override the decision (by clicking the button in client instead). You could check it out.

QQ 4bp ott how many sizes do you play? This doesn't seem like a natural turn bet unless you're splitting, is it losing much ev to simplify into geometric size and just not bet QQ?

Otr blocking AQ seems pretty nice but I don't really have thoughts past that lol.

Yeah the only thing I've ever seen was time mojo too, really cool concept to delay your action a random amount of time (between say 1-3 seconds) before pushing it to the client. It also would tell you how quickly people took on certain actions and what it typically means when it falls within certain ranges. Think it might be banned now tho.

Hey, you can use Starscaption. It has an Action Blocking feature for every street, which also blocks hotkeys.

As Piraat said you can use starscaption for this. It is like starshelper (but much better imo) and works with aurora. I´ve disabled aurora and play on the old software, but have switched from starshelper to starscaption completely.

thanks guys for starscaption <3. legends. Lucky otherwise i would have had to buy 8 separate egg timers for each table.

so after reading some of PlasticElephant replies in his thread, and talking to 2 people in private i think im going to slightly change my approach to poker. but with that change, it means ive got to end this thread. I dont want to post hh's anymore. I think theres some type of hands in this thread which i think i do better than the pool at but then theres some hhs which are just tragic which then if you tie into my poor mental game posts, isnt great for everyone to see if i plan to play hsnl on stars. (not that i think a lot of 1k+ guys are checking this thread to exploit or whatever, but it can only be -ev with very little upside) and a thread with just graphs and not much other content due to corona will be a very boring one. So im going to ask a mod to lock it up until next year when corona ends as i suspect ill be doing quite a bit of travelling and IRL mental fixing, which i was doing well at and making some progress before corona hit.

i posted my year results before but as its my last poker post will just post strs + iggy results to end the thread, its only 100k hands extra but whatever. 55k hands are iggy, rest are stars :











Thanks for everyone for all the replies. really do appreciate that. And to those that sent many dms trying to help me with things. Thanks Even though 2p2 is not like what it used to be, still a lot of people trying to help each other so ill try to give back to others in their pgcs in future.

Peace <3
