Thought I'd try my hand at 6max. OMFG I run like God himself. Six max is Sexy, yet I always assumed it was like some vodoo. To be honest it doesn't play that much different to FR at all. Everyone is just more stationy.

Running at 40BB/100 atm NL25 :D totally unsustainable- all my hands keep holding up. This is so unfair to the fish. Please stop it Mr Poker God and his 2 deities (Velociraptor and Crow).

Moving up to NL50 now :O wish me luck

Hey,

I often forget this stuff and have to look it up. So am making a note here for myself.

Combinations are unordered giving the number of combinations for a prescribed size.

C(n,r) = n! / r! (n - r)!

An example would be a 2 card Poker hand from a pack of 52 cards:

C(52,2) = 52! / 2! 50!

Taking 2 letters from ABCD, we get 6. This is because AB = BA... Combinations are unordered.

Permutations are ordered remappings of a set.

P(n,r) = n! / (n - r)!
= r! C(n,r)

Given a 3 card flop, total orderings will be 3!/(3-3)! = 3!. This makes sense cos we have 3 positions for the first card (1st, 2nd, 3rd), then only 2 for the next card and 1 for the last... n(n-1)(n-2)...2x1x0

ABC
ACB
BAC
CAB
BCA
CBA

note:
With replacement, the combination formula becomes:

C(n,k) = (n + k - 1) / k! (n - 1)!

Multiple elements can be represented using 0's and 1's like:

11 0 111 0 111 0 1
A | B | C | D

where the 0's are separators for the slots (ABCD). Therefore the combinations will just be the total permutations of all 12 0's and 1's together. Or C(4,12). 4 choices but 12 samples.

hey,

Atm NL50 FR reg + $1.2k BR. here's my goals for next few months:
- next 2 weeks, cashout $500, move Amsterdam
- $2k BR and NL100, move UK
- £1.2k bank, move Tehran
- NL50 HU

When variances knocks me down I quickly get back up with no emotional marks. The competitiveness forges me across enemy territory. I think HU is the game for me.

Is there anything cooler than being a professional poker player? You play a psychological game where you must keep your emotions in balance otherwise if they're not in check... then a bad month means money lost. The only job, where doing bad means losing money.

I want to define a few things that have worked for me. Not for anyone else, but for me.

1) Having a good dose of skepticism when reading advice is paramount. Everything you will read will be contradictory and a wave of popular opinion will be against your own. Taking what you read and being _able_ to apply it based on your own experiences will allow you, like a scientist, to see what works and what doesn't.

As a teenage boxer at competitive level I had to travel to surrounding towns because my own town was too small. New clubs and new trainers, each teaching a different style and a new technique. A few times a trainer might say that *something* you did was wrong and this is the right way. Usually they were right, having more experience. But often enough there was no right or wrong and it was just a matter of style.

Being able to improve as a poker player means being able to take a new piece of advice and see how it works. Is this bad advice? What can I learn from this? Maybe it tells me more other regs and what they might do. Even great players I respect, say things that make me shake my head in disbelief. There's a lot of noise out there and diamonds among the ruff.

2) Imagining scenarios is a nice way to streamline your play. This other move may have caused a cascading alternate reality and have faarrr off consequences. The ability to make abstract reasoning and future predictions is what makes us so intelligent as humans. You using these tools better than your opponents is what makes you the better poker player.

The most elementary mathematics- use of weighted averages and probabilities is another tool.

You can use to formalise your thoughts into a solid representation. Having the solid form of your thoughts down allows you to move them, manipulate them and come up with new exciting possibilities. Not essential but a *powerful* tool in the poker players toolkit.

3) This last concept is the most useful IMO. Playing lower limits time to time. A lot of the guys here make fun of playing micro limits... somehow they're above small money (?).

If you're tilted and losing money, why not play a lower limit and lose *less* money? Or you're playing too loose bcos of that HU session you had earlier- a 5nl session will screw you in tight tight! You'll recede away from bad bluffs like a slug being burnt as you get called by Ace-hi.

Even trying out new moves- players are still trying to win at 10nl+ but they're just so bad that they can't! Players range from super nits playing JJ+ AK to super stations playing 75% hands A gold mine of player types to test against.

I see a lot of people talk about how compared to nl25, nl50 is more variance, lower variance, more aggressive, more nitty...

when i first moved to nl50 a 2 months ago i was getting beat when deep thinking regs was making a move against me and finally i TAKE MY STAND and they show up with a hand :/

Now it's obvious I was just spewing. I get a little dry spot or they get a little hot spell and then lose money. Or I make bad folds cos I'm looking at all the big money. It's not outright tilt but a slight off balance.

You might say ah no, that's not me but I guarantee it that you're probably just doing too much Fancy Play Syndrome.

> NL50 is no different to NL25, just with 1 or maybe 2 more regs who mostly just play super tight. Even seens guys at 9/5 before! <

Hello,

PS has offered me a real good deposit bonus for $600 since I never deposited and started from play money.

I will go travelling soon so can anyone accept $1.5k PS and deposit in my UK bank account? If you have online banking it's easy and you can just do it online without ever visiting a bank.
