Someone wanted crystal reiki therapy today so I got +35€ ... 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 :f_biggrin: I was so used to the laptop pad already with left hand... now attack-clicking like a pro with right hand :f_biggrin:

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

Love this simple line of thought... I'm going to copy that in my game

:f_thumbsup: 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.

9man $0.50 SnG where 3 players win (between the stakes of FL.04 and NL2).. a disgusting way to exit. I should start giving credit maybe to people :f_biggrin:

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 πŸ˜…πŸ‘ 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 :f_biggrin:

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:

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players

MP: 112.5 BB
CO: 43.5 BB
Hero (BTN): 100 BB
SB: 93 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♠ J♣

fold, MP raises to 2.5 BB, fold, Hero calls 2.5 BB, SB calls 2 BB, fold

Flop: (8.5 BB, 3 players) 8♠ 2♣ 5♠
SB checks, MP bets 2 BB, Hero calls 2 BB, fold

Turn: (12.5 BB, 2 players) 9♦
MP bets 3 BB, Hero raises to 12 BB, fold

Hero wins 17.5 BB

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.
