Oh, yeah, I wasn't meaning to imply that you were still like limping Q10s with 9 players after you an' shit (extreme example). It was correct to play the way we did then, and I'm sure you've grown even proportionately better than I have. I was just contextualizing the area in which I last knew you.
watch out, i did that today, and got 6 more limpers as predicted :club:.

God I miss 2005. Sometimes I think back to how horribly I saw the game back then and wonder how I won, and then I remember all the 60BB pots I could win with the Q-J-10-9-8.

In general, is AP softer than Cake, in your experience?

in general, i'd say cake is softer, esp at mid limits. ap is really random--sometimes the games are horrifically terrible, sometimes they're hilariously good. today it's the latter. yay.

How hard is it to get games with bad players in HULHE on either site?(Low limit, that is)

hmm, well first, you don't generally wanna play lower than 2/4 hulhe unless you've got a hilariously bad fish on the line. that said, i've literally never played anyone on cake that is any good, although my sample there is very limited. on ap, i'd say that if you don't waste your time playing good players at 2/4 and 3/6, even if you have a slight edge on them, you can be playing people that you shoudl beat for 4BB/100 for about 20-30 hands an hour on avg.i game select pretty heavy at hulhe and i'm at just under 7.5BB/100 on ap this year, fwiw. i'd imagine navy is running better than that.

I haven't played a hand of poker today, but I feel like I'm having a really productive day, thanks to a brief conversation with NB that's got me fired up about becoming the world's greatest, and somewhat angry with my father because he never played catch with me.(I'm also building a "field of fantasy" or something like that, based on his recommendation.)Anyway, I'm looking to go nuts on shit. I just watched a bunch of Bryce classroom stuff. First of all, is anyone else terrified of him? I wake up in cold sweats, imagining I have to play him. I have vivid nightmares about him bending me over my poker desk and raping me, ejaculating maple syrup all over the back of my thighs. Second, "Good poker is the ability to accurately quantify the likelihood of your opponents' actions and potential future actions, and to then use mathematics to find the line with the highest average rate of return" now hangs above my rape/poker desk. Finally, a while back I was trying to add some new mathematical tools to my arsenal, mainly Combinatrics, and I kind of understood it, but after watching a video on it, I think I have a better handle, and in fact, it might be helpful if anyone knows of like a worksheet of Combinatrics problems or scenarios we could work through, or could easily put one together; I feel like it would be pretty useful to get comfortable enough to do this in real time.

Looks good. If you call and raise the turn it's pretty obvious you have an ace, he's going to pay you off with tons of shit (99-QQ, at least, plus any K), and if he has a worse Ace he's going to 3-bet it, and you can just call and lead the turn. Pre-flop is good, particularly with the limper ahead of you.

Seems justifiable. I think I'd need to know the recent history and the meta game a little better to know about the your turn cap, but it's hard to put him on a set if he really thinks you're out of line. But I would need to feel like I knew what was going through his head beyond "taf who hates you."

Which two are the tags, positionally? I think if a TAG's in the BB, I love a raise here.

in general what he did here is petty dumb. against me its actually perfect. (if he plays this like i think he does)against me on this flop - bet/folding with any ace short of aj is good - betting into me with ak or kk is the way to make me lose the most bets here - he can probably just fold a king or small pairs as he is so far behind my capping range and doesn't have the odds to call down+ wont get enough from me when hes ahead. he might want to call down with kq the thing is, he doesn't know me from a hole in the wall, and my stats and play at this table so far make me look slightly maniacal. so given that, if he is going to be bet/folding hands like ax here i think i found a fun game to play with him in the future. however, looking at this, i am slightly worried about my own exportability in this situation (given that i could easily come up with the perfect counter strategy). maybe i need to start capping more in position, especially in a three way pot with a bad player between me and a tag.

Wait, you think he's folding an A?

i think its thin, especially given that i need to lead the river and call a raise. i wouldn't know how to put my read exactly into words, but against this guy this was good.
