I've always thought the whole thing was silly, because I don't believe it matters whether or not one race is more intelligent than others, or better at certain things than others. Even if it were somehow scientifcally proven that black people were, on average, less intelligent than white people, that would not be a good reason for restricting their rights based on race, as there is clearly huge variations in intelligence in every race, with large overlap (ie, some black people are definitely mo
Man the issue is, are worse outcomed for the whole group caused by racism or not? That's the topic.
If there is even a small lower intelligence not caused by racism in a group, then average outcomes income wise will be worse for that group even at 0 racism.
The whole topic is about "why are some groups having worse outcomes, because society is bad, or because they can't do better", that's the topic.
There is no request to restrict any right by race, just the admission some groups fare worse because their talents aren't the same as other groups and in the current arrangement of society, some group talents are less useful

It's cool that we have a thinly-veiled Neo-Nazi just posting here like that's a completely normal thing to have in a politics board.

Here are my oversimplified thoughts regarding red line:
Red lines worse than around -8 to -10bb I consider basically always having leaks
Red lines somewhere in the -5 to -8 range likely have marginal leaks
Red lines slightly negative (~0 to -5) are going to be from players not overfolding and applying reasonable aggression
Positive red lines are indicative of over aggression/underfolding and if combined with positive overall win rate indicative of a strategy that is exploiting the population.
It's also possible for red lines to be more negative in weaker pools specifically where there are more multiway pots. Player pool/strategy will have an effect on this, so the above is just a simplified way of thinking about it. If you always folded your 0EV bluff catchers your frequencies will be messed up and you will be exploitable, but in a vacuum your green line shouldn't move and your blue line would go up and red line down. There are a ton of spots in poker where calling or betting is ~0EV, so choosing those actions at lower or higher frequencies can greatly influence your red/blue lines without really affecting your green one.
Sorry I thought was the trans visibility thread. 😆 Washoe quoted him in that thread and when replying I ended up here.
That's the problem, nobody's getting exploited by folding Q-high to an overbet, yes there is plenty of equity but (1) some of it is to improve to a bluffcatcher and (2) you're far from guaranteed to see two cards
Sorry, just saw that this guy shouldn't be bluffing here (misread/misunderstood OP), so I can get behind a fold on the turn.
Fold on the flop.
As you correctly noted, fish rarely fold rivers, especially blank ones. So I would avoid bluffing on this river.
As stated above .. yes, there's still 'opportunity' to play poker when a 4-bet comes out but you need two things IMO ..
1) You need to be deep enough so that the Flop doesn't force you to make a decision for your stack.
2) You need opponents that are 'capably' of understanding poker to those depths. If you are playing against 'Card Players' and range-less Gamblers then the horse just ain't drinking the water. Is your range wide enough in V's eyes that you can get some steals in there against unfavorable Flops for their narrow range?
In order for you to have a range for a spot, you need to establish a range for the opponent. If there's no window in their range then it's almost impossible to 'make a play' even though you may block a lot of their range .. it's still their range!
While you may want to 'play poker' it's really difficult to find a suitable 'partner' most of the time .. so you end up bottling those portions of your game up a lot of the time. GL
I can put myself exactly into your spot .. I've got 1-2 Players who will immediately ask for a table change if I get seated at their 1/2 table! I rarely limp, open and 3-bet from everywhere and am more than willing to isolate a short stack if there's 'enough' dead money already out there (with marginal holdings) at those stakes.
How many tables at this pub? Is it regulated or raked? Do you have any other poker outlets? What is your goal when sitting down at this table? What is the Pub's goal for hosting the game? How are the first set of Players decided? (ie .. can they keep you off the table?)
Since this is a 'public' game, not a home game, you should be able to play any way you want to .. but there are always other circumstances to consider for the long term (possibly).
I would start by saying "I'm just doing what I see on TV and YouTube." And then follow that up with "I'm getting you ready for those Big Boys in Vegas!"
I guess I would also ask if you are personable and provide a reasonable amount of table talk? You can typically 'get away' with aggressive play if you are 'part of the crew' so to speak.
How would I handle it? Bluntly and directly as I have for years. I 'teach' (perhaps 'preach' is better) at the table .. my strategies are no secret and I have no problem letting the Players know exactly what I'm doing and why. Once I got comfortable with poker I wanted to help others get comfortable so they would continue to play. My feeling is also that if everyone at the table gets 'better' then I will naturally improve my game as a biproduct.
What does that do for your spot? I have no clue without more information from the questions above. My guess is that everyone knows everyone and they very easily could be playing at somebody's house instead of the Pub.
I'm not saying you should downgrade your play, but I also think you need to treat this as a home game and perhaps downshift a little. This is one night .. 'their' night .. the Pub's night. If this was darts or pool what would happen?
I have a high school buddy who plays in a dime/quarter game and he said he'd can't have me there because I'd run the table over. I told him I just want to be there to socialize and can adjust my game to the Players (who don't want to lose more than $50 in one night). Finally got the invite and now I'm the #1 sub when the lineup needs filling.
Lot of babble here, but there are so many variables to consider. Even though it's a public game, you are still probably not considered a 'Reg' as of yet .. so figure out a way to act like a gracious guest while still playing your game as close as you find spots to do so. GL

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered...
Are there any easy ways or even cloud type HUDs that allow you to sync HHs across multiple devices? I'm specifically playing on ACR/WPN, and my desktop is Windows and my laptop is a Macbook.
I'd like to basically have my HHs sync across both devices to keep track of all my tournament histories and cash game win rates.
Is there anything on the market that handles this? I was thinking of just changing my default HH location on both devices to a cloud synced folder, say google drive or something, but unsure if there was an easier way.
Thanks for any tips!
It can't be a great day, my God, we have a current bankroll of $156.16. I just want to cry with happiness, my God, a lot of work and discomfort with myself, but we achieved it thanks to a 100k daily GG poker tournament. I can only scream and jump with happiness, yes sir. My God, I don't believe it yet, I think they're even going to take the money from my mother of God bank for good measure.
showing was def a blunder 😊 always feel a little pressure tanking for more than a bit so when its an all in decision I usually just flip em face up after 30 seconds or whatever, felt all in (but wasn't yet obvs)
Spoiler
plus it was 5am and I was 15 hours deep having laughs and trying to dig out of a hole, so p not peak mental state, but I dont wanna talk about that please 🤐
Preflop: Your reads of V, the stacks, the straddles. Everything is leaning towards a 3bet bluff.
People are much more narrow when they raise from EP after a double straddle, and all we know is he opened "A9 and QJ" but from what position? Those are standard opens from a lot of them. I would at least want a broadway card if I was even contemplating a light 3bet to a guy who we know is a "weak tight nit"; but that's just me.
Greetings!I am a fairly new poker player and decided to stream my way through my first 500k hands.I decided to do this firstly because I want to build a large enough hand sample to see how I fare against the competition and secondly to socialize and maybe help or get helped by other aspiring players.My question is the following,I really dont know when to move up in 5NL,I am currently at approximately 55k hands on NL2.I will enclose a PT4 graph so you can see.My roll is almost 390$,starting from 200$.Should I move up now or keep playing till I get more hands?Any ideas you would like to share are more than appreciated.You can also find me at twitch.tv/coco_otb.Below is my graph up until now.https://pasteboard.co/14SMs569oS6C.png
if you had hit your T OTT would you have raised? I feel like most people who call with overs on that flop would just call hitting a K OTT, so i sorta feel like the call with JJ is easy since you rep nothing.
I agree that people tend to not make multiple tough laydowns in a row, but im not sure thats why he called here.
I also dont know why youre 3 betting and calling wider vs the only good player. I tend to just avoid the other good players, i think you can just fold pre and play vs the fish next
Youre correct, if i hit the turn i dont raise. I wanted to think villain would think i would raise turn with a K too and not just trips+ here but thats totally not accurate. It was a bad play, but i do think i have a lot better chance at succeeding if he doesnt make the previous tough laydowns.
The way it was written it sounds like i was 3betting him wide, but i actually was just running really hot and he was too, so i was 3betting him quite often but with a tight range. Flatting this hand was done w the idea that I can bring the really bad players behind me and in the blinds along w a nut suited hand. I should have folded pre, but i definitely should have just folded flop.
Jumpin Jehoshaphat!
Dude, you're $700 deep with main V at 1/3, and smooth-calling with KK pre?
On a scale of one to odd, I can't even.
Go home, Banana, you're drunk.
Im check calling river all day. 3 bets tend to be higher pair than 99, or AK AQ, and the check back OTT smells like AK AQ and ill let him bluff into me.
As played im calling cuz your blocker bet mightve induced a bluff raise but i dont think its a super exciting call.
If drunk V has been 3 betting a lot preflop, i would be inclined to induce the river raise with the tiny bet, and id be snap calling. But my experience is drunk dudes dont 3 bet a lot.
