Someone wanted crystal reiki therapy today so I got +35β¬ ... so I got a gaming mouse and I am taking a gaming approach towards poker tables... "The Click" inspired by recent professional series from GGPoker where different pros take "gaming" approaches
I was so used to the laptop pad already with left hand... now attack-clicking like a pro with right hand
I don't know if to post these.. Preflop the limper is really weak player that called the flop and turn with any two basically. So I wanted to get value from him and kick out the reg on BB, so I raise pre with marginal J8s. On the flop I check deliberately to make my hand look weak and make him bluff vs me. It is like regs are super suspicious of bluffs or something. So I make it look like a bluffraise with sizing on the turn. The river I do a thing from Fixed Limit, like, betting is best of the 3 options. (check/fold vs bluff is horrible, check/call vs straight is horrible, bet could look like a bluff that worse hands could call).. He left immediately after seeing what he had done ♦

In No Limit it is not that common but in Fixed Limit it happens quite often that type of situation... Just played a hand against a very loose-passive opponent. On the river I am often beat, but check-call is horrible - he wouldn't bluff often, check/fold is horrible, he might bluff, but a bet could accomplish a call from a worse hand.

Played at KKpoker with Xiaomi or something. There was this idiot always potting, even pot/folding vs others... So I could pot him back with AA on T9x9 on turn getting a call from JJ π π i love KKpoker
So i give my first intoductory game development class to children, 10 or more people were participating. People were creating different games, 2player religious fight in heaven was most drawn i think, 2player pacman was getting popular. One child made a game with fake stargates that don't take the player to other room and a real stargate that makes this type of change in the game. One teacher went past the popular theme of fighting and shooting and a friendly trampoline jumping game was developed where love arrows are sent to the other character.
Was teaching NLHE HU to my 7-year old son. It was our second session. First session he won like 2x100bb stacks from me. This time I knew his strategy and took 1x100bb stack from him. Then I started losing again, the chip rate was again like equal, 1500 to 1500 (5/10 blinds). Wife said to me from shower: "Don't let him win! Play normally, correctly!" But it was like gameplay game development adventure. I gave my son the gameplay experience. I said: "I am not teaching the strategy yet. I showed him the hand values in our first session last time. This is our second session." She said: "Teach him the correct strategy!" Well, there's this thing FLHE HU I am expert vs "fish". But NLHE HU I have no clue what to do even myself. But NLHE HU it is so much more fun HU vs my own son. Well, first I have to learn the strategy myself. NLHE HU it looks like super complex to play correctly
Finally got NL2 results to +positive this year after 1,145 hands. Was losing -3stacks at the beginning.

So the second time I might introduce 'platformer making' in game development workshop for children. My child made the monster...
was making a small mistake sitting at NL5 table by accident. i have switched to BB view so i didn't notice ♦ other than that, trying some crazy repping stuff vs aggro-reggy-looking guy:

My style is pretty much not to 3bet pre much but to call a lot and use my FL postflop skills to target spots postflop.
Down -$1.20 in cashgame including the nl5 blunder (selecting wrong stakes by accident), but won a $0.5 SnG for +$1.40 so +$0.2 in total! There's this thing in Estonia if you find a plastic bottle or beer can with government sign you get $0.10 for it in any food shop.
Played the amazing huge KKpoker network again, someone decided to straddle 50bb deep. I open to 8bb from mp with K9o, he calls and i bet Axx flop for 10bb. he folds i win!
