I always display stacks in BB online and would recommend the same to anyone taking poker seriously (and especially multi-table grinding).
On rare occasions when your decision is very close, you may want, for the sake of getting a valuable read, choose the one which makes your opponent reveal his hole cards to you.
If he's betting on the river, you call, and if you're considering betting or checking back yourself, you go to showdown.
this reminds me of a recent hand of phatpots who considered betting KT and opponent revealed A9. That read is worth so much more than if we bet and he folds or every once in a blue moon calls.
Always limp from sb (23o, 72o too) if there are 2 limpers before and BB is above 10 bb (not likely to shove), even if you are short as your dikc. You pay 0, 5bb to see the flop with insane odds and if you hit top or second par or a str8 draw (but open ended, not a gut shot) or flush draw (4 cards), or a mix of gut shot and runner runner fd, you are first to decide and can come OTF and steal the pot or double (+a lot of side blinds) up if called. The same goes for being on BB (and your hand is too weak to squeeze) by calling an open raise and a flatter or more that one flatter especially. You pay 1bb to see a flop with a pot that is already 6-7bb, but you act only if you hit like two pairs with your 72o or trips or a strong draw
Piss jar, minimum 0.5L, tho 1L is better. Not a bottle, must be wide on the top, otherwise you’ll struggle to transfer. Online only obv
And auto time bank. You don’t want to “sit out” with aces when you still have a bank but didn’t manage to click the time bank button it time. That’s absurd
