  • You know as I've gotten older I've been having a harder and harder time disassociating myself from the cash/financial implications when I'm playing cash-games. When I was younger, I could put my entire bankroll on the felt, lose it, and get over it in a couple hours. Now-a-days, if I lose less than 1% of my bankroll, I get angry, anxious, disappointed, etc. And, I have WAY more money NOW then I did back then. It's just so odd. Hence, I can no longer play cash-games, because I can't have a balanced strategy for I can no longer pull the trigger on my pure or low equity bluffing spots.

    @daverogers4195@daverogers41953 жыл бұрын
    • There are many methods used. An old common one is to look at clock and use the second hand. Or another common one is before you play just use suits as randomized... Eg. If higher card is a diamond, randomized = 25, if both diamonds ~6%. Depending on how detail you want the estimate to be, of course the trick is to not change your mind/suits because of the run out.

  • I don't think I enjoy the fact that now poker is about figuring out why the solver is saying things instead of figuring out why something makes sense. With blockers and unblockers, you can justify pretty much anything. It's bad to have a 6 on AQ544 because you block 76 that purefolds, but it's good to have a 6 on AQ544 because you block 64 that traps! The offsuit hands on a rainbow board are bad to bluff because you don't have a backdoor flush draw to improve, but the offsuit hands on a rainbow board are good to bluff because you don't block your opponent calling with a backdoor flush draw and folding turn when they don't improve... Ultimately we're all there trying to pretend we're doing some facts and logic when we're just following instructions, and since we don't always know what the instructions will be, we're ready to justify anything and everything.
