Always been a fan man. You and your gf look great together, happy to see you crushing poker as always. Also glad that you are enjoying the new life with coding. Keep it up and be happy!

uhmm... I guess you could tell us your general pf strat on the sb kind sir

is this all 1/2 6max zoom on 888 ? does it run a lot ? did you play any other games ?

harassing turtles is not cool, other than keep going : )

Definitely want to see more pics of the car. How hard is it to find a shop that you trust to do a good job like that? What do you look for?

Nice car!

Anyway since you said we could ask about poker...
Would you recommend any book other than mathematics of poker and applications of nlhe?
What are the videos/coaches you would recommend watching that teach you how to practically win at poker? It seems there is a lot of misleading content from mediocre players even on runitonce.

Sweet blog. Thanks for the updates.

Also, I agree with Dozer regarding the turtle.

Can you tell me your general thoughts on over-betting? How're you personally incorporating it into your game, if at all?

Also, nice read. GL with future endeavours

living the dream man, GL!

thanks guys!

At 1/2 or any stakes with large player pool, it's important to play multiple strats for PF depending on your opponent. Below is a pf strat I'm using as a baseline.

vs CO I'm using 12% range. 56s+, QTs+, A9s+, AJo+, 77+
vs BU 22% 55+, 56s+, 75s+, A5s+, ATo+
SB vs BB - I started with a standard 48% steal. Now I'm comfortable stealing 60% as players aren't defending blinds as hard as they should. I would avoid limping strats with high rake.

I wouldn't recommend using the same PF strat and you may want to go little tighter especially vs BU. So far from my experience in 1/2, it seems like the biggest mistake regs are making is sizing bets in 3b pots geometrically on flops that shouldn't be bet this way. My range will not do well postflop if you are betting geometrically.

yup 888 zoom and it runs pretty frequently. Lot of times player pool is small and we have 3handed zoom going and I like this a lot.

I called around 8 places that does wrap jobs in the area and just went with the place offering the lowest price after seeing their gallery. I got a deal on the work as the owner of the shop was into gun scene and had a lot in common with me. He did the complete wrap job + sports red break pads/rotors for $1300 in return for me bringing my car to his shows if I'm free.








So I drove back thinking I'm hot shit with my new wrap job and my reserve parking neighbor had to one up me and get a lambo the same day.

To be honest, I haven't watched any video since cts days that had influence on my play. I kept up with watching videos but it was more so for entertainment or habit of going to sleep with Galfond's soothing voice. I heard Zaza is making videos again and I would definitely recommend watching him. He approaches poker completely differently than me but the way he's able to solve hands on the go and map a strategy is really cool. Definitely the best NL player producing videos right now

I have two different strategy when it comes to over betting. First is a theoretical approach when I have a range advantage on the river. Betting as much as you can when you have a range advantage is the way to go as you can fit more bluffs into your range. That way you steal more of the opponent's equity from the pot and treat the problem as opponent always folds. Keeping blockers in mind is very important when you are building a bluffing range as many theory oriented players use blockers to build a calling range.

Second approach is an exploitable approach where you have a player that has a history of hero calling with a hand that is out of 1-alpha. Over betting strong hands or betting pot can work well to these players because they don't put importance in pot odds and see the problem as nuts or nothing and call with hands they would've otherwise fold to a standard bet. I still can't get around why 2-1 pot odds is more attractive than 3-1 but a lot of these guys are regs.

8d 8h 9h is a good example and should be bet 1/3 ~ 1/4 on 3bet pots*
