We all know that 90% of an instruction manual is foreign language translations but you still panic when you see the size of the manual.

Never thought of it like that. But you're right.
Back in the day japanese motorcycle manuals had english translations, but they were next to useless apart from entertainmentvalue. Is it racist to laugh at a foreigner's attempt at English? Hmmm.

The Chinese are by far the worst. They have some of the best IT/software technicians in the world. Why they can't write the instructions in Chinese and give them to a competent person to translate them.

The most annoying phrase is when they tell you your device will memory your input or pressing a button will start it or not!

It's dd and great what piques our interest.. A friend sent me a video of birdies twittering in a hedge. Given the lack ok birds round here it was a bit of a joy.
Glad you enjoy the alignment of the planets. That's pretty solid compared to chaos created by (some) humans.

You mean laughing is natural but what provokes the laughter maybe a racist mentality?

Ok. Agreed. However, Jim Davidson, Stan Boardman, Bernard Manning et al made a living from pandering to racist views. The racists laughed, I cringed.

I think the problem is people can't see the difference between a comment said as a joke and the same comment said with intent. Back in the 70's there were many jokes about 'white honkys' ... I never got upset and would laugh when funny. The British have a reputation they can laugh at themselves does that mean the British are racist about the British?!

I agree to an extent. But I think there is a difference when a majority makes jokes about a minority.
I too paid no attention to minority comics making jokes about my colour or culture, but I was pretty invulnerable from their opinions. My bosses were ALL white.
It changes your future if you have a racist boss. Whether due to your skin colour or cultural background. And believe me I've seen it operate on other colleagues.

A member of the South Korean government got a hero's reception from the opposition when he turned up for the impeachment vote ... until they discovered he voted in support of his leader.

Didn’t know where to post this. I may even upset the people running the forum but it might be relevant on other issues regarding tilt and variance.

I built a poker profile bot. Yes I know, while not illegal, if they find out then all funds will be seized. I not worried about that. Jim knows

However, I am smashing $1 to $20 SNG and MTTs. But moving to $30, I’m getting killed.

Is that due to one or more of the following at that $ level:

- Higher variance
- More professional players
- More sophisticated bots
- Player collusion
- Just unlucky after 1,000 games
- My profile needs adapting at higher levels

Any help, appreciated.

Thanks,

Good on you )

Been a while since I messed about with poker..

Can only guess but how about:

More "real" players at higher levels?
Been an influx of newbs in the runup to xmas at lower levels?
Are you losing to same players / groups of players?
1000 hands way too low to draw definite conclusions...

I remember reading a Dolyle Brunson book years ago and he told a story about how, in general, people started to play a lot looser in the run up to xmas & NY but come the NY bells it all tightened up immediately... Was against live players mind you...

I've thought about online poker using a bot but always put off by the 'lose all your money if caught' issue. Is it not possible to run the play simulated on a fake table on your computer and then play your hand in the real game manually. If playing manually the game must expect delayed playing with random time intervals and maybe if winning well the odd cock-up to confuse the casino's police bots?

So a couple of points:

- block iesnare using you windows host file
- randomise clicks
- randomise bet size and raises
- rename your poker bot exe file to svhost.exe
- don’t have a directory called poker or automation or bot
- block your camera while playing
- don’t play for more than 8 hours without taking a timeout
- hide your bot so it doesn’t appear open on your screen
- withdraw any profits frequently
- you can’t play at American Card Room (ACR) as they don’t use pixels for buttons etc

I figured it out by entering my playing stats into a well known poker analysis tool.

- VPIP was way too high for tables above $20 buy-in
- PFR was way too high for tables above $20 buy-in

Both mine were above 26%



But now I know how to fix.



Apparently, the key when moving up to higher buy-ins is keeping your VPIP/PFR ratio gap consistent.

VPIP-PFR Gap: Around 3-5%, indicating a tight-aggressive (TAG) style, which is best when >= $20 buy-in.

That's interesting..

I thought it would already very tight at the $5 level and perhaps loosening up at higher levels if anything...
