OT meaning off table? If so, then nothing really mate, bar the amount of time I'm dedicating. I make sure to do at least 3ish hours of study work each day, ranging from hand reviews with friends, VOD reviews, sweats, stuff in Excel etc. I did this all before, just less of it all.



And "shortey-word-say" is the stupidest way I've seen someone say abbreviate

Thank you kindly

Slept for a solid 15hrs last night after being up for 35 hrs, was absolute bliss

I've been thinking about getting PIO. Does anyone have any recommendations for which version I should be getting?

My buddy got the basic version a couple ago but cannot to get it working with 3bet pots, is that enabled for the basic version? Also, if I got the basic version and then wanted to upgrade it to the pro version a few months down the line, would I have to pay the full price of $475, or just an upgrade price of $226?

Any feedback is very much appreciated

I think it's one of those things where you should only get Pro if you already know exactly how you'd use the scripting feature, or have a beefy enough CPU to where you want the 12 core support. Edge would be awesome for preflop solving but too 'spensive off course.

Basic is good is basically (huehue) what I'm saying.

Haha, 12 core support, one can dream

I think I will get it sometime soon!

Have you gotten the free version? It does everything the basic version does, only it's limited to one flop. So it's not helpful for improving your game but will show you exactly what it's capable of.

I don't see how it could struggle with 3bet pots - doesn't make any sense to me, they theoretically aren't different to solve right? Does he mean postflop 3bets?

I do not have it, although I will prob download it sometime soon, even if it is just to help get my head around it.

He told me that there was a box missing that needed to be ticked in order for it to be a 3bp. His words not mine, I've never used the program before.

Yeah not relevant for me either lol. But! AMD is rolling out 8 core CPU's at a nice price point in a few days so if one were to update an old computer to run PIO more smoothly in 2017 that would undoubtably be the way to go, and thus you'd want the Pro version.

But it's just $20 more expensive to upgrade after the fact than getting Pro immediately so it's not like you have to torment over such considerations, just get basic now and start solving

I'm pretty sure you and your friend just have some miss in the communication and that he means that he can't get preflop solving to work. For postflop you just input different stacks, available actions, pot and bet sizes and off you go. Doesn't matter if it's a 2/3/4/5bet pot. There's no 3bet feature to activate or anything.

As far as I know the only realistic difference between getting basic and pro is that you can't script in basic.

You 100% can do 3bet pots in the basic version

Haha nice, personally I like Intel but know of AMD being pretty good/not so expensive. 12-core seems extreme, I don't know anyone who has it. I remember watching an unboxing video on YouTube of a $5k gaming pc which was i7(insert mumbo jumbo) 10-core.

Right now I'm using an 8gb Quad-core i7, how do you think that'll manage with PIO?

Gotcha thanks a lot! I'm definitely going to be getting it within a month.

What is scripting exactly? I've seen a few people mention this... is it setting a script to solve more than one hand?

---

So I took the 26th-28th of last month off to relax and spend some time away from the game. For the 26 & 27th I reinstalled League of Legends (a PC game) and degen'd pretty hard on it with a few friends + spent some time doing other non-productive activities. For the 28th I uninstalled it again as planned and did my weekly reviews like I'd usually do each Monday.

It was really nice to get away from Poker for a bit, even if I still spent 20 mins 1 tabling 100z each day out of sheer addiction . Also, the amount of time being unproductive over the break has now given me the urge to be productive .

I've set myself some goals for this month. They are as follows:
1. 46k hands - ~1.7k hands per day, as I take Monday's off
2. 150 hrs of logged playtime in PT4
3. Get healthier - daily walks/pushups/situps, I already eat/drink well
4. Happy with my play

Other than that, everything is good. Time to get on the grind for this month! GL all!

    He probably has you crushed with at least a flush, maybe a set and is hoping you call with the exact hand you hold. Good fold.

    Yeah definitely a bigger raise in theory. I've seen so many lead-folds for 1bb in zoom to the point where I just deem it as FOS, so now I tend to raise smaller vs them when I have it to let them catch up. Idk what they are thinking when they donk the 1bb. Clearly this guy is a bit diff and uses it as some sort of trap - genius

    But how does PIO know who has the betting lead? For example: if we're BB vs BTN in a non3bp we should be checking all of our hands, whereas if we 3b pre then we're going to be betting a lot of the time as well as checking.

    You just delete the flop bet size for BB in that instance, then PIO acts as if BB can't bet.

    You can also node lock. Not the most convenient method in this case, but make sure to find the youtube tutorial and grasp how the feature works asap. In a lot of spots PIO plays nothing like an SSNL population, so you want to adjust the strategy to solve against when you have the info required to do so.

    You got it. It's basically equity driven. He who has the equity lead takes the betting lead.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for meditation? I haven't done anything meditation-related before, but I know a lot of good players practise it religiously. I'm not even sure how long it would take?

    Anyway, the month is going pretty well so far. Volume hasn't been great so far down to me reinstalling (now re-unnistalled lol) League of Legends. I swear my discipline for some things is fantastic, yet for others it's just non-existent. But it's unnistalled again, so hopefully I can pick up on the volume a bit and also do the reviews/random Poker tasks that I've been putting off recently...

              I recommend headspace for getting into meditation mate. It's all guided so it's a nice progression from complete beginner to guru. PM me your skype if you want I might be able to save you some $$$ It's also definitely worth doing whichever way you approach it. I'm certainly noticing the benefits after only a month in. You realise how much you need it when you first start and it's impossible to not think of anything for longer than 10 seconds.

              And regarding how long it takes it starts off at 10 minutes per day and slowly increases to 20 minutes after the first few weeks. If you mean how long it takes to see the benefits it differs massively from person to person. It's kind of like going to the gym in that you wont see immediate results but if you stick at it and do it every day then within a month or 2 you'll for sure notice a clearer mind.
