lol sleepaments

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

This phenoma occurs when online players are very stuck. They have no idea how tired they are and are locked into a marathon session.

Sleep is the most important thing to play your A-game consistently.

It is that important. This is really easy to grasp.

Think about human evolution, the survival of the fittest and now think about the vulnerability of sleep.

Yep, it is that important.

hrmmmm

I was thinking about my daughter
and the infancy of the internet
and how she’ll likely have a job that doesnt exist at this moment.
and “how do I train her for that?”

but then again, I have that type of job and my parents sure didnt know this world I live in and work in would exist and I they did a great job.

This is exciting!  I love it!

When you are in the middle of a hand, usually a later street, and you are fairly sure of your opponents range given how the hand was played. You realize that you should probably fold, given this range.

Then you click on his stats using your Heads Up Display (HUD) and find a stat that leans toward making a call.

You quickly find that your first range was correct. See also: callvinced.

When you are multi-tabling and rushing over to type in a IM chat box and rushing back to play your games.
This often leads to chip-spewing.

Callvinced

When you have a marginal holding, the pot odds are slim, but some how at the last second you convince your self that you may have the best hand (say K-high) and call, only to realize that the folding was correct option.

When you take a beat, or miss play a hand, or just anything takes you of your A-game and you cannot clear it out of your mind.

And it feels like you are about to burst.

When you know you should quit a game online.
Where the game conditions have changed and are not in your favor.
Or that you are feeling stuck and cannot quit.

When you make a bet that puts you in a ‘sweat’, is a bet you probably should not have made.

When you steal w/Ax get called by one of the blinds, HU.
And the flop comes Middle-Middle-Middle uber-coordinated.  Like QT9 w/two tone.
If you “continue” you will be crucified.

Poker Slurm #1

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

It’s not really a term, it’s not really a slur, it’s a slurm:

Joe Tall poker-slurm term of the day:
Fuck-It-Call
We make our money by folding.
That’s the main difference between us and our opponents.
As soon as we start Fuck-It-Calling, we are off our game.
