I dont have much to say about today. I trained / played some poker / reviewed by session took some off time.

I have learned one thing from poker today: Determine villain's range and figure out what hes repping in that range + how would he play the range you want him to have, i.e. his range your getting value out of.

The specific hand that I reviewed today with yi :
KQos UTG rai 4x bb I cold call from MP, folds.

Flop comes K44 rb, he bets pot i call
turn comes blank he bets pot I call
river blanks he bets pot again I call he has AK

What I did not realize is that he never bets that way/those amounts with Kj Kt, hes more likely to bet ~60% pot on turn and its hard for him to bet river......also - hes never bluffing that spot. Except with AK KK he plays it exactly like that. He had AK

I was watching the matrix just 5 min ago and right when Neo is about to take the red pill from Morpheus, Morpheus describes what the matrix is. He basically says "the matrix is what you see when you look out the window, it is in this room right now, it is there when you pay your taxes"
I realized that he says stuff about the matrix that is true, I mean the information is correct....but he keeps that info so general you cannot pinpoint exactly what he means. I mean, if I want to describe the matrix I would probably say something like : the matrix is a simulation of your sense made for you to live in as if it was the real world...etc etc.

This is what I am thinking: Mb that is the way I will describe some "things" to women.....truthfull things but general enough so they cant pinpoint exactly what I mean......Ive done that numerous times in the past, theres nothing special there but I found the matrix metaphor to be quite elegant in demonstrating how I go about it...

Girl : what do you wanna do tonight?
Me(although im writting this at 2am, tired, not really inspired/in the mood): Well I wanna be suprised, I wanna do things that are going to make me smile for different reasons....I wanna go places I know we will both like...and I want to take you to places where I think your gonna wanna be..

Lol I just thought of another one : " I dont know...but standing is overated...mb I feel like doing something else tonight"

i dunno bout u but with the right tone of voice, mb some better inspiration that im having right now this could work - except now I have my own way of explainning it ;)
