I like H1

You sound like those live whales that call off their stacks pre with 4s because they put you on AK. AQ is not even a 4bet there. GTO folds AQcc 100% of the time there. Nice call.

I know you're likely a troll, but if you see a guy 3b call 47s, maybe you just give benefit of the doubt to the 4b. Its not like AQs becomes a -ev 4b if playing gto ranges. You only likely have to add a couple of combo & conditions for it to 4b some %. Isnt hard to find regs which have more bluffs than A5s in their 5b ranges.

If its -ev b/c otf wth gto ranges, it can never be losing chunks and nowhere near the worst call rapi has ever done.

Yeah this. 4betting AQ some percentage of the time is obviously fine. And the flop call isn't horrible even though it's thin, at best.

90% lol

more like most regs will have some flush draws and a lot of pairs

This

Nyu is actually on point in there, some guys will never ship a pair and will always ship their draws, they think it's better to call and keep our bluffs in than to deny equity.

sure thing guys.


88-1010 always always calling and only draws stuff it i mean 90% of the time not always.


learnt something today.

Yea it's easy to sound confident and sure of everything when you say "this" everytime someone agrees with you. Then you remember you've been stuck at the micros since black Friday.





This.

bump

Yeah but Rapidesh knows PIO inside out mate.

I just need more volume and better mental game, that's all. If I'm playing in a good state of mind there's no way I can"t beat 200z on stars. My technical understanding of the game is probably higher than 90% of the regs that play that stake (and I was generous in that statement).

You guys also underestimate variance(and spew) combined with low volume: it could take a lot of time for someone to move up winning at 3bb/100 and playing 30k hands/month, specially if running badly and even worse if running badly in the highest stakes.

And tbh, I've been spending too much of my winnings on things I shouldn't (if my only goal would be to move up on stakes and become a pro). It wasn't insane amounts, just not optimal, but totally within of what could be considered responsible.

You guys are so fascinated by success that it blinds you, just as an example: most of you guys think limitless is the GOAT when he isn't much better than your average 100z spazz reg.

Lol, who thinks limitless is the goat?

the ego lol

There's a pretty huge difference between some quadriplegic savant with autism who can recite the score of every game 7 in NBA history, and someone who can actually dunk a basketball.

Rapi is the rain man confirmed

I'd like to thank Goliath for bumping the thread. A+ response by Rapid.

If you are going to have an ego like that, surely you would have the clout, technical ability and judgement to back it no?

Why are you not crushing high stakes then?

You don't even have the technical understanding of the avg 5z Ukraine grinder. You have the amazing ability to get more delusional the more you get beat down. I'm sure every zoom reg who reads this thread is licking their lips after reading that. This is why poker will never be dead as long as they can stop the bots. No shortage of drooling idiots.

Rapi has had a slightly positive WR over the last ~1.5mil hands, which pretty much proves that he's in the top 10% tbh.

HS players underestimate the rake at micros quite a bit.

You might think something like: "If OTB is able to beat 5knl for 5bb/100+, it's deffinitely possible to beat 50nl at 10bb/100+". But you're forgetting that the rake for OTB is like 0.3bb/100, while the rake for 50nl regs is ~7bb/100.

If you're beating 5knl for 3bb/100, your "true" WR is ~3.3bb/100.
If you're beating 50nl for 3bb/100, your "true" WR is ~10bb/100.

Don't think anyone is dispute results, except for mirage for some reason.

His ego is the reason that he isn't succeeding as well as he would to.

this made me laugh

And youre underestimating the skill difference between the limits. He would still beat 50nl for 10bb+.

I too could beat 200z but I don't want to.

Most people overestimate them in 2019 imo. The edge between the best and a typical solid reg grinder is very small imo, much smaller than the rake.. I know you guys have this romantic notion of crushers but its all fantasy, and thats before we even consider if they are cheating or not with dream machines which most are imo. So much misconception with poker. At the end of the day most of it is simply how well you run. Even whales like tigitty are able to win under the right circumstances.

If Rapid had any brains he should get into twitch streaming. I think he would entertain a good audience with his comedy poker skills. Def make more money than legit beating the games which is obviously never going to happen.
