BJ - I don't know how SC accounts get hacked, but if any of your email accounts were compromised then you should also change those passwords (from a known to be clean PC).


Gmail has a relatively new security feature ("2-step verification") similar to an RSA token that you can activate from Account Settings | Security | 2-step verification). You install a passcode generator on your phone (iPhone or Android) and enter that key in addition to your regular password.

i have a little tier system of pw's hehe. sc2 was at the bottom of the list.

I use two-step verification on my gmail. It's not much hassle and makes you essentially hack proof. I recommend!

I had issues configuring it with my iphone though :/
08-02-2012 , 12:04 PM
what was the problem? I switched to an iphone a few weeks ago and setting up 2-step verification was more confusing than I remembered it being when I had an android but it should work.
08-02-2012 , 12:38 PM
well I made an "iphone" pw in gmail and got that special pw, but it never worked on my iphone.
08-02-2012 , 02:07 PM
Oh, I'm not sure. You made an application-specific password and used that as your password for gmail in the iphone? Or did you try to use the RSA 6 digit number thing as the password?

Are you trying to access gmail on your iphone through a browser? i.e., going to gmail.com in Safari? I think you need to use the standard email app or download a gmail app if that exists.

meh, just google around and I'm sure you can figure it out. http://productforums.google.com/foru...il/O0zmKHPkvRs

nah I use the standard email app which always worked, but with the 2 step thing you have to generate some "bypass" password so it works. You can generate these through gmail options but it didn't work for me at the time which is quite annoying.

i thought of something about balance in poker and I'm wondering if there's a good counter-argument.

let's use a common situation where balance is considered to be pretty important. I'm playing 5-10nl online (I know I don't play that high, it's a hypothetical get off my back) and I 3bet a reg's button open from the BB with QQ. Flop is T62r and I cbet. The turn is a king. Most would say that this is a standard bet with QQ because I would bet all of my air on this turn which means I need to bet some non-top pair made hands as well. right?

If instead I check-call and this hand gets to showdown it would be argued that in the future my profit in this situation will be lessened because my range for betting that turn becomes too air heavy which means I could be exploited.

But what if the next time I have QQ there against the same villain I decide to bet the turn?

fairly basic but I think you get my point
08-03-2012 , 11:23 PM
Wait a minute, are you suggesting that you may not play the same situation identical and you might mix up your play here and there? Crazy :-P

Fill out your banking info for guys getting wires and money will probably be there 2-4 weeks after that. Seems pretty likely we see money before Christmas, maybe even Thanksgiving.

pretty interesting. from NVG thread. I'm considering calling the DoJ myself just to see what they say.. nothing to lose i suppose

lol I realize it sounds kind of dumb and obvious but I would think the simple fact that people can and do mix up their play makes trying to be balanced/exploiting unbalanced villains completely futile. Is there a good rebuttal?

*congratulations*
u have leveled up
u have now learned the skill "adjusting"
goodluck on your travels

I think KK/AA is a better check call hand. I always seem lost with the nuts.. but when I have 5 high, I know the only way I can win is by bet/raise/check raise lol
08-04-2012 , 01:35 AM
lol geez it's not like I just discovered that you're allowed to vary to play. I'm just interested in hearing how a GTO guy (shipit2kg? janda?) would respond to that point
08-04-2012 , 01:57 AM
oh crap i almost forgot. in the tradition of the ftp regs thread i've gotta snap post a graph brag now

1. There are more ways to achieve balance than by betting the correct number of hands. For example, checking all hands some percentage of the time and betting all hands the rest of the time in the spot you described would be another way of balancing. In this sense, mixing up your play can still be exploited when you misappropriate the frequencies.

2. Just because you change your action in the two identical scenarios doesn't mean that you can't be exploited if villain is thinking a level ahead of you. It sounded like you were assuming he would think you bet QQ again the second time in the spot because you did it the first time when he might actually recognize and anticipate your adjustment.

3. My point, then, is that you can exploit someone when their range IS imbalanced, note present tense. I think the problem you're identifying is the issue of how you know they have not correctly adjusted their ranges and are not now exploiting you instead.
