I mean you could be right in that this is a spot where people underbluff at these stakes. I dont play a lot of cash so I'm not sure

I will admit that hiems is right as far as no reads. It's possible he shows up with the 5d6d or Td9d or even the KdTd. He may also never bluff this spot.

You have no read there so I would say he can bluff sometimes there. I would call, what does GTO says?

Sad thing is that I learned that people actually do underbluff alot and I made alot of wrong calls. I would pretty much not fold in a 3b pot tho(I think there are slightly more bluff), if it's a setup I think they get my monies.

Result?

Lol @ "I will admit"

U need ppl to hold ur hand like a baby to even get on ignition...u don't even know pot odds lol y do u think u r some poker champ

I am not convinced it was a good idea to put money on Ignition.

I know pot odds I just made a mistake.

I don't think I am some poker champ. I am grinding 10 NL.

Hey at least you didn't move to Pennsylvania to come to the same conclusion right?

Also, $25-$35/hr isn't the same as $25-$35 a hour 10-15 years ago now too...

Me and rikd have a history kind of like skeletor vs he-man. While u r probably aware of some of it its hard to be immersed in this saga as the ppl in it.

Rikd and his cronie "the dumb loco" has long thrown shade at my poker so yea when rikd comes in here not knowing pot odds and leading with "i will admit hiems" i thought i would add some heat 2 my response and that makes sense to me whether it's fair or not

LoCo!!! Locolo!!

No, I like the cash games. More fun for me.

Poker is immersive and there is something on the line. As much as I enjoyed Limbo and Inside it's kind of trial and die but there isn't anything really on the line unless I am going for a no death speed run. I am going to die in poker (make -ev plays). The crazy thing is at the table I won't even really know unless I do work away from the table which I also find fun. Going into the lab and finding optimal plays at each decision. No limit is fun because the betting is capped only by the limitations of your stack at the table. It's a fascinating game and I am someone who enjoys games.

I would be more excited about poker if I lived in PA and had access to PokerStars. Ignition has a lot of issues.

Not that it is that difficult for me to admit if you are right I thought I would add that in there to be a little spicy I guess.

I never watched Heman. You are He-man or Skeletor?

Now, that I have put some money online and have been playing some hands I realize how easy it is to catch a poker bug. I don't know if it is the best for you or me to be toiling away playing all these hands piecing them in whenever we can. But, I also wouldn't necessarily classify it as toiling. Just playing when I feel like it is pretty fun. That is something I missed when I was very anti-poker. I am not happy with Ignition but if I were on PokerStars I have a feeling that I would have a better feeling playing. There is also the fact that we will lose probably at least 40% of the time. That is not as fun but if I manage it correctly I'm not really sad about most losing days.

When you make a poker blog you open yourself up to different ideas. I don't think my opinion has changed that much. There are obviously better things we could be doing? But, sometimes there is not much I'd realistically rather be doing than playing poker and I can understand that. My opinion still is that it's very difficult to be a 5ptbb/100 winner at say 200 NL Zoom or 500 NL Zoom with enough hands and that will put you in that $70k - $140k range which is pretty good. I don't want to say it is a pipe dream because with the advent of solvers a lot of hard work away from the tables can reap large rewards but if everyone is proficient at this with the high rake only the poker site wins. It is impossible to study every spot. Mathematically, I don't know what win-rates are possible these days. I know Sauce had a 50k hand sample at 10 BB/100 at 500 NL Zoom in 2021 which I'm not sure if that is different than 10ptbb/100. I am not Sauce though. He was always much better than me at poker.

i guess im skeletor cause u r the obv white guy lol.
