Yes I normally do. I like the stability and I have back problems as it is and used to have chronic sciatica so anything that helps is a big plus. Had no idea about the research stuff just was told since highschool when I lifted for the athletic teams that it prevented injury.



I miss playing with chips though. Yeah I'm sure I'd be over it by day 2. Just a bit of fear of missing out I think. Got invited to LA and Macau to meet up with friends and play and obviously can't with the dog and such.

Just caught up with the thread, great stuff. Your success is definitely inspiring.

Best advice I can give on the dog front is to find a close friend/ business associate/ family member and get the dog used to them and their house. When you need to go out of town to play or vacation have them take care of the dog and compensate accordingly.

I have a family friend watch my dog when I'm out of town and it's great. My dog loves it there so I don't feel guilty about leaving her.

Gl in 2018, check out my much smaller PGC thread if you get the chance.

Red light for computer is another good sleep inducer. It's auto installed on windows 10, but xflux works too.

Conventional or sumo for deadlift? I've found it's easier to keep good form with sumo as compared to conventional, although I've never used a belt. I've also found that doing bridges helps alleviating back soreness as it works much of the spine but in the opposite direction of what deadlift works on.

Also, this https://www.youtube.com/user/Calisthenicmovement channel is pretty awesome if you want to try some difficult bodyweight exercises.

Yeah good advice. Haven't gotten close enough with any of the other residents nearby to ask yet, so have been using my parents when I take trips.

Just sub'd gl on your 2018 as well.

I will def check that out, thanks I've tried sumo in college and actually found it harder, def felt it in my quads though. I usually do conventional, I did a ton of lifting through college and had a few good friends on the rugby team that helped with my form.

I really like what I saw from that channel, thanks so much for pointing it out!

I think raise is the best option here, but calling has to be better than folding too. Think you picked the worst of the 3, might wanna run it by PIO though.

Sometimes you just get that feeling...

Can you explain your logic behind the fold in the A7ss hand? I'm with redsox, prob leaning more towards raise > call > fold?

Metagame? Amirite

Obviously he timed out or misclicked. Not sure if srs.

im trying to find the meme of the kid with the ****ed up face with the caption something like "when people make see you next year jokes on december 31"



Confirmed not a feel player

I think we can fold at a very low frequency, gotta be balanced in these situations

Villain will never know what to expect now

Ya they're trolling. In reality, I had used my timebank in a silly hand before. I had typed my raise to 700 something and then was waiting for 0. I usually do this with most of my actions so I don't give off timing tells. Unfortunately, I forgot I had no reserve time bank left... was quite frustrating

-----------------------------------------------------------

Didn't do too much yesterday as we got hit by a snowstorm so my girlfriend had a rare day off so I mostly hung out with her. She found Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on my computer and proceeded to kick me off my own computer for the next 3 hours.

It's ok because I played my best session of the year and month is quite nice (mostly due to running 15 buyins over EV).

As I get better at this silly little game, I realize how much more mistakes I'm making (in all honesty I probably make 10-15 mistakes every 1k hands) whereas when I was playing 20 NL I was thinking wow I played perfect today.

The month is about to get hectic as I'm finishing up getting coached and have quite a few coaching hours next week so excited about that.

First HH's of the new year

Nice job in 2017! I see you regging 5/10 An 10/20 now, very impressive. Haven't played much lately as I've caught the crypto bug really hard, makes poker seem kind of boring which is so strange because while I never worked as hard as you do, I was obsessed/addicted for like past 12 years...anyway best of luck in 2018!

I bet anything looks boring when you're printing with crypto I can only imagine you had a great 2017 then. Thanks! Yeah still find poker very interesting.

Yeah feel fairly comfortable at the higher stakes now, although I haven't had a doomsday sesh where I've lost over 7-10k yet (which will inevitably come) so I guess we'll see how I feel after that!

I continue to win despite playing not that great, it's not a great feeling but I suppose it's better than playing bad and losing!

Volume is solid as well but going forward I'm looking to drop my table count to 6-7 going forward. I'm just a much better player at that count compared to the 9 I usually do, and despite less hands I feel pretty confident that my hourly will be higher.

I've done a good amount of off table work, I spent a good bit of time working on open raise/limp strategy from the SB, but in hindsight probably not worth the time since I'm only implementing it at 5/10+.

I've also struggled getting up at 9AM like I planned to and it's costing me valuable productivity time. Tips or anything would be appreciated!

I also have my last coaching session with Mixgrill tomorrow, so bittersweet to end but hopefully can pick his brain a bit more before Vegas.


Lots of button clicking lately, but not too may interesting hands so nothing worst posting. Hope everyone's having a good start to the new year

Great thread. Amazing results in such a short period of time. Keep it up and gl.

Thanks a lot man, always nice to have another NJ'er follow along.

Have I asked you my live poker exploit toy game question? I need to start a tracker.

Toy game. 9 handed.

2 stacks 50bb.
2 stacks 80bb
3 stacks 100bb
2 stacks 200bb



Average villain vpip/pfr/3b is 30%/15%/3%.

Villains are inelastic to sizing up to 6bbs. If you open 3bbs or 6bbs, they call and/or 3bet at same frequency.

Sizing tells are not a factor.

What size do you open UTG with AA, AKo, QJs, and 88?

BIG with all but I think it's okay to limp 88 on some tables

I'm curious what bb's answer is with the constraints of the game (no "well people notice when you open 6x...or 3bet more 3x" type stuff)

I also am curious what happens if effective stacks are all reduced. Notably less 100bb stacks and the 50bb stacks are 30-50 and their jamming range increases with each additional caller.

I also left out...we are one of the 100bb stacks.

I like this question a lot, I probably sat in my chair a good 5 mins just thinking

Ok well I think AA is an easy 6bb opens given constraints, I assume I don't need an explanation there.

AKo gave me various thoughts but I would open 6bb here. We can reluctantly GII against 50bb here and I don't think it'd be too much of a mistake. We can fold vs the 3bets of the other bigger stacks and when they call we often have their range dominated and we can easily get 3 streets in with our hands given SPR. I did consider opening smaller here at first

Assuming I have to open QJs/88 I would min open, for a multitude of reasons but mostly we don't want to pile a lot of money OOP with hands that don't do great vs a CC range


Very thought provoking toy game!

You are the second person to give that very similar answer. And I consider the first to be one of the best strat posters on teh forum.

I agree, AK seems to be the trickiest one for me as well.

Curious on your QJ/88. Are you saying you would consider open limping if allowed?

This toy game is all that I've thought about for the last 2 years. I try to tell people that studying max exploitative lines in a full ring high vpip game is as just daunting as studying solvers.

"Show me an AI that plays perfectly balanced and I'll be impressed. Show me an AI that limps AA UTG vs MP 100% PFR 0%ft3b and co/btn 100%/0% vpip/pfr and I'll fall out of my chair"

I think having an open limp strategy can absolutely be successful in a current live climate, I also do open limp sometimes when I play even though it's complete heresy in an online game.

Yeah live is a different animal, although good online players will always do well IMO (since they are usually good at exploiting players to begin with).

All this talk makes me have the itch to play some to be honest!


------------------------------------------

Past Few Days

It's been a hectic week. I played the 8th, played absolutely atrocious and made one of the worst punts ever. Took 2 years but I finally broke something when I slammed my fist on the desk after the play, extremely frustrated with myself. My girlfriend chastised me for being a child, I embarrassingly finish my session playing solid C game.

The 9th and 10th were much better, I particularly spent a lot on the 9th working on my game, although I think I'm trying to work on a few too many things at once which leads to me spazzing out a bit.

On the 10th, I had my highschool friends reach out to me about a Spartan race in June. After a short discussion, we all agreed to do it. Being the degenerates we are, we of course took odds on who will win. I was given the worst odds (side note: if anyone has done one of these before any advice would be super helpful)

On the 11th, I coached for about 4 hours...than proceeded to sun run and book my biggest winning day ever. Wee

Today, I coached another 3 hours so I'm quite tired of hearing myself talk, month is fabulous and I finally have some decent hands to post....away we go.

Issue with min-raising is that you will largely be going 5+ handed fairly often. This is excellent IMO if you're holding 88 because that's the perfect scenario - I've often thought about just min-raising ONLY pocket pairs from EP because we literally want a large multiway pot, but then if I'm doing that regs DO pick up on it and can attack you.

Not certain we want to be going 5+ handed with QJs type hands but I'd be happy about it with my A2s-A9s as well. I'd be happy to say that min-opening A2s-A9s + all pocket pairs in a passive 2/5 full ring game could be a really really good strat. I'd prob not do it at a homegame where the player pool is smaller but in a casino with large turnover, less likely people will cotton on.

Keep in mind my answer was in regards to Avarita's condition, calling ranges are inelastic so we would get same amount of callers regardless. I chose the small sizing because we don't do great against CC range but with the SPR wider we have a little bit more postflop playability. I'm certain I'd never min open in a live casino game

I think hand 4 is #pio.

Do you fold to river leads at different sizings? How should he be playing his overpairs?
