Shipping KTs 25bb deep is way too wide. Really shouldn't be open shoving above 20bb and I usually raise/call or raise/fold all the way down to 12-15bb sometimes depends on hand like obviously it's better to just ship 44 in 15bb deep than to raise/call it whereas with AA raise/call will be better. And since no one has any idea what you're doing they're never going to exploit you. But yeah just raise/fold or raise/ship if you think he's 3-bet/folding enough.

i think 'gut feelings' and being 'emotional' is independent of each other. you can be not affected by emotions (i.e. no tilt, winning or losing) but have an excellent 'gut feeling'. i would equate this to having a sixth sense where you just know whether your opponent has it or not and this sixth sense is in no way affected by winning / losing tilt. obviously, the sixth sense does not happen all the time and not everyone has it. but sometimes you just know it and it's good to go with it if you are certain that it's not a feeling from tilt.

gut feeling to me = a read of some sort and is more prevalent in live poker where you have more info compared to online...

That is sensational, thanks for posting- made my day

I don't follow my gut. My gut has sh*t for brains.

i'd wager my gut couldn't beat 25nl

lol

Very nice use of the GIFs , maybe the best one yet.

Check your PMs.

TY.

i completely agree. the kramer is perfect.

Don't write off the gut so quickly though - it has its place (limited).

Tangent, and I apologize if I mentioned this before:

Is part 1 of a 3 part lecture. ~23 minutes total length. Titled "The Science of Happiness and Potential" by Shawn Achor. Would really like some thoughts about the videos from another poker player.

Shawn Achor is founder and CEO of Aspirant, an applied research consulting firm that works with organizations seeking to create a more positive, productive workplace. After spending nearly a decade teaching and researching at Harvard University, Shawn now applies the latest scientific research in positive psychology to deliver lectures and trainings. At the core of Shawn's work is the recent finding that individual happiness and organizational success are inextricably linked. Shawn's highly interactive workshops capitalize on this "Happiness Advantage" by providing practical guidance that enhances employee engagement and ultimately improves the bottom line

I hope you're not too skeptical on science/art/sport/etc outside of poker having applicable skills/strategy to the game of poker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2KKfOGaR_w is a 2 minute Q&A with Gary Kasparov (chess guy). If you think there might be something to what he's saying... you'll love his book "How Life Imitates Chess."


What is this endurance record exactly? Is it trying to see who can endure being at Laak's table the longest without going on life tilt?

nm, google is my friend. 78hours of poker.

Anyone else have an opinion on this? (ty badger)

i guess the 2nd one is my fault for trying to induce. i almost called anyway , he bet 5/6 times.

type "FML" and just fold he just do that with an ace for sure dont level yourself and think "if he have an ace he would try to trap me and not just donk bet "

fwiw i'd fold. i've seen Ax a lot from this line (please don't ask me to explain why they do that) - and you're drawing ~dead against that.

Well I wasn't thinking that he couldn't have Ax, because I know they do play Ax that way, but I was thinking more that he COULD have other stuff, or is it crazy for me to expect TT-JJ here sometimes?

screwed once more

fwiw ATC preflop was a little different but had random fish donk jam after flatting a squeeze with Q7 on AQ5r. Of course it was a 1k pot and he got there, but that's not important.
