Someone came into this thread guns blaring acting like an emotional clown of a prick towards others ranting about theory in a thread about exploits. Then had to back track. And has written at least 4 different narratives since then. The latest attempt is to hold on for dear life to the word "sticky" and disregard the other 200 words in original post describing Hero's full ha

Mate, as kindly as I can put it, the reason you don't get many replies on your lengthy SPR-focussed responses is that they're not very good. It's like you've found the hammer of stack-pot ratios and think everything is a stack-pot ratio nail. You started your beef with me before you did with Echemondo, whose attitude is more than made up for by the quality of his posts. Your posts are garbage, and you're starting fights in every thread and throwing a hissy fit when people don't agree with you.

Start by cutting down your post length by about 80%. Or stop posting. Or carry on starting beef with everyone. You choose.

Can someone just quote this guy who's obviously been hurt by someone somewhere, tell him he's right and I'm a huge *******, and make fun of me so he can move on and feel validated

I'd say you're a small-medium *******. That's okay, I am sometimes too.

I don't see how we can exploit someone who is too sticky, by betting smaller.

I agree, against someone sticky we should be betting bigger but less frequently, imo


I'll back up Echemondo in that it's fine to occasionally be a jerk on the internet. However, once you realize the person you're arguing with is dumber than dirt, it's best to just make your case once then ignore.


I'm just potting flop and putting max pressure on whatever his "too loose" 3b range is. Even when we have hands like AKQTds with 2 bdfd we're gonna have equity to call it off vs tons of hands if we bet $200 and he jams so we might as well just pot it with our whole range that wants to continue

Also players like this will often call pot bets on flop and if they whiff will fold turn getting 4:1 when they often should be calling it off. Betting small and having a pot turn bet actually probably gives him the best chance to not make a mistake as he's gonna usually peel with good equity getting great odds and fold all his whiffs on the turn correctly or call it off when he improves correctly
