You'll hardly believe what has just happened, VS...

I hovered the mouse to press the like on your post.

At that moment, the table of Winter Series event 23 (my only table right now) popped up.

The cursor happened to be over the raise button. So, instead of 'liking' the post, I minraised UTG with 85o :f_o:

Everyone else folded :coolface:

So thanks for winning a pot for me :f_thumbsup:

I then resized the browser and 'liked' the post correctly, of course.

Great to hear!
People don't believe it, but misclick equity is indeed a real thing...

Best of luck,

I've heard about misclick equity before, but "like equity"...?

Seriously, though, this might be a good moment to review your popup settings on Stars. It all went well now, but who knows what kind of situations may happen in the future.

Unless, of course, you prefer these settings for other reasons and you're willing to take any risk that might come from them.

This setting is in place intentionally because my screen is small and any tiling of >4 tables has to be with an overlap.

With <=9 tables, I have no issues (I don't browse forums when multitabling, of course).

With 10-12 tables, the misclick issue exists, but I've trained myself to hover the cursor over those points of the screen where there's no overlap, and anyway, I have too little time to make advance folds then anyway, I mostly just act at the table that needs my action right now, but just in case, I did preserve the 'send hotkeys to the table under the mouse' setting so that I can left-click on any table, move the cursor to a no-overlap point and send a hotkey (tied to an extra mouse button) to that table.

Yuck,
I have my ticket to the freeroll, but if it goes anything like the two tournaments I played, it's a waste of money.
I got it in good 4 times, and was beaten on the turn or river 4 times to bust out each time.

How you guys play this game w/o going nuts?

<sigh>

We're playing for the long term, of course.

The freeroll is the icing on the cake. To those who're decent at MTTs, the events themselves are the cake. The freeroll makes the affair profitable for those few players who'd otherwise have a breakeven EV at the events themselves.

But actually, I have to learn to use a table arrangement tool anyway because I want to be able to play at more than 12 tables to resist the temptation to have VPIP>20 at FR :f_biggrin:

Happy New Year everybody!!!

We had a really nice new years eve party but with cold wind!! We left at about 1 am cause we were frozen (was an outdoor-party). Today we start the new year with tennis training! Oh boy! :f_ugly:

Anybody made some (poker) resolutions for the new year? I only made resolutions in poker and those are:

*Play a bit less tables but play precisely
*Get into PLO
*Play more sattys

As for the formats: I decided to stick to PLO-CG and MTTs and small field MTTs (Unibet, RedKings, Titan, some tourneys on Partypoker, some SnG-MTTs on Stars).

I wish a happy new year to everybody. :f_thumbsup:
I will try to play a bit more this year, I think SNG, tournements and cash (all NLHE).

Was it Barry Carter who prompted this decision? :f_biggrin:

I know you're good at DONs and satties, though.

Thanks, folks, let us all crush in 2019!!

Homer, I assume your game choice will primarily depend on how much free time you have on a given day, right? On those days when you're free the whole evening, I think MTTs and MTSNGs must be the most fun because they provide a mix of the deepstack cash game mode with the shortstack ICM mode; they're really a universal poker format. It's too bad that I can't maintain perfect focus for 8 hours in a row :f_cry:

Ended the Year with a misclick. Thought i bought a cashgameticket on Unibet for PLO4, found out i bought a USD 12 ticket for NL :-( the good news is, that people play even worse than me at NL4, so halfway through the 900 flops, the ticket is worth USD 53 :-)

Good job :f_drink:

Thanks for this data point - I'm glad to see cash games still profitable at Unibet even in the Hexapro era :f_drink:

Maybe 1-euro HUSNGs aren't hopeless either (and neither is Hexapro itself despite the 7% rake)... I need to try asking the Unibet rep on 2+2 to revive my unused welcome bonus :f_confused:

You should give it a try. On the low stakes, both PLO and NL, there are a lot of horribel players:f_drink:

I don't just look for horrible players, I'm looking for 'cream of the crop' players :f_biggrin: I mean, all micros are soft, and €1 HUSNGs must be still more profitable than Stars $1.50 HU hypers, but €1 Hexapro must be at a whole new level of softness :f_drink:

It's more grindable than Stars $1 spins due to the ability to focus on 3x+ multiplier games that you'll have up all the time if you multitable. The rake is pretty much the only issue, so I'd been afraid of committing myself before the new quarter started today for bonus point purposes.

As for PLO cash, I have a long history of losing or breaking even there for the most part (incidentally, my positive PLO winrate episode happened when I was bumhunting at Unibet when it was still on the MPN), so I'm going to stick to more proven ways of making money this month :f_tongue:

I realise that I've been talking about way too many poker formats in the past fortnight, but I'm in a constant process of reassessing all the poker options that I realistically have in the short term given my current patchy skillset, sorry :f_tongue:
