Tgiggity's kekkei genkai is playing well on weed lol. Such a legend.

Imagine how he plays without weed, otb and linus would have to be really careful lol! Most people on weed have their IQ reduced by more than 40, most people I know become brain dead and can't even handle a normal conversation haha. I tried playing world of warcraft on weed once and I had a really hard time in getting out of the city, was totally lost lol.

And I know all cities in there by heart (but the undead and blood elf ones, quite easy to get lost there) lol

Not going to go into too much detail - but stuff NH advocates falls down pretty quickly vs competent people who can counter adjust.

Hard to counter adjust if you don't know who you are playing, he knows this himself which is why he encourages them to go to anon sites so hard. Equilibrium is also kind of weird/ doesn't actually exist in multi way spots and you can deviate pretty hard to exploit people following 'GTO' strategies, monker ranges etc with little downside if they can't counteradjust.

I'm not saying anon games are harder by any means, just that I would dramatically alter my own gameplan if I was playing there.

A lot of NHs exploits are aready countered by the same strats that maximize EV vs aggro whales/fish. For sure you would under realize vs nits/passive guys, but if the pool is filled with regs playing like that you will be right more often than not. As an example: cbet and x/j with AA in 3bp on J538ssh is just gold vs whales and all NH bots, even if you lose some EV vs passive guys, if a good amount of the pool plays NH strats, they will make your exploit way more money than you will lose vs passive people.

But playing in games where your ranges aren't put on check could be very dangerous for your overall game, it's easy to get addicted to that crap and forget how to play well vs tough regs who know what they are doing. I think this bovada thing will end soon anyways, lots of regs trying to play those games because they think it's soft, but rake is quite high and with a lot of regs playing there it doesn't take much for the EV of the games become similar to stars.

Rake at 200 zone is 2bb/100 higher than at 200z on stars and both have 0 rakeback.

I almost sat the 25/50 game on natural8 last night. 2 whales, 2 bumhunters and a good reg. figured I would easily be +ev vs everyone but the reg, but I pussied out


agree with all of this


lol I actually play much worse sober. think it has to do with state-dependent memory - all of my poker play and study to this point has been done while high/smoking weed. when I'm sober I have to think a lot more about my decisions, I second guess myself constantly, I feel a little lost tbh.

I've cut back quite a bit recently though. I was going through 3-4 grams a day for a stretch there, but I've got it down to 1 gram a day for the last week, almost entirely vaporized through the volcano, very little smoking. feels good. though right now I'm craving a fat ass joint

there are def some weird exploits that go on that are not standard at all and take a bit of adjustment.

idk about that man, but I really hope not. the garbage software tends to keep most serious regs away. and hey man, I get rakeback! 0.5% baby! some days that's a whole $5!

Not sure if you've answered this, but how's life in Rosarito since the caravan stuff started happening?

I live in San Diego and loved my visit there right before it happened. Looking to go back but don't want to get stuck at the border for some reason, heh.

I barely notice it tbh besides the increased border security. Some days there's like 30-40 dudes with machine guns posted along a 100ft strip of road at the border. but the wait hasn't been much worse though imo, but I don't cross often.

yeah the border being closed would reaaaaally suck. only reason I care is that I get all my weed in the states. tough to find good weed down here for a reasonable price

Is it not really risky to take weed across the border?

Lol @ 0.5% rakeback, ignition should be ashamed of offering that crap haha!

On stars it looks like you only get rakeback during downswings or when you take long breaks.

I've done it a dozen times now. going into mexico is pretty safe, but I obviously would never try to take anything into the states though. they don't stop very many cars going into mexico, and if you do get stopped there's not much that the gringo $100 can't solve I was pretty nervous the first few times. kinda just consider it an occupational hazard at this point lmao

just smoked weed for the first time today and I realized what this post meant

so yeah, if you guys were wondering: that's how ******ed I am sober



is there any interest in a stream? I won't do cash games, but I've been thinking about doing a sunday MTT stream for fun

You're one of the more interesting people on this forum so yes please

+1

alright I'm gunna look into how to set this **** up. I've heard you can't smoke weed on twitch tho? that would be a huge problem lol

he had QQ

I'm so good

only 15 min till I can check the KJ hand....

What about the KTo hand?

I called down and lost, he had TT. it's in the hh itt

What are your thoughts on polarising your river sizing a bit more in this spot? It's pretty abundantly clear villain has an ace him, given this turn is so frequently overbluff. When the draws brick do you think he still calls with A2o if we pot river?

ya know, you're 100% right. in game I knew he had Ax or nothing, so I was trying to induce a bluff from air and always get called by Ax, but I think going with something like 1-1.5x pot is a lot better. he still heros Ax a lot and it allows us to bluff, whereas the size I used I would basically never bluff with because I'll never get a pair to fold

can't tell you guys how excited I am to hop into the 500nl streets tomorrow. ****in' love this game man

make sure you have a feet cam set up for sunday

what? lol


KJ hand confirmed bad read/nit fold. he turned Ah6d into a bluff. I actually didn't think BB would be defending any weak offsuit Ax vs cutoff open - expected that A2o-A7o is just folding pre but I guess not. I figured at most he had Ah8x, Ah9x, AhJx to turn into bluffs. but given that he's defending every offsuit ace vs cutoff then he's gunna have a tough time balancing bluffs with value if he's bluff shoving every AhX combo otr.

guess I should just be happy BB is calling A6o vs cutoff open

I'm such a nit at heart. I really wanted to let this one go

Rekt . I doubt he is bluffing every Ahx combo on the river though. I expect most regs at these stakes to be using some rng but I could be wrong

deservedly punished for being a nit tbh. can't be folding everything but flushes there. had my best non flush call down and I nit folded

I kinda doubt it, but maybe. I don't use one but I should

yeah agree he's not bluffing all, it's more just I don't think people recognise how easy it is to over bluff when their density of potential bluffs far outweighs their value range, so even rng can go wrong.

villain did squeeze JTo from SB though, would be surprised if he randomized anything
