Utg all-ins get stupid once stacks flatten
$5 to $25 mid-shoe is grim
Fair point, but on live dealer are you still covering zero?
"buddy" doesn't pause live dealer clocks either
Yeah, wanting the math is pretty normal. If a late audit changed it, what exact timestamp hit your cashier versus the lobby, and did support give anything more concrete than live dealer-grade canned lines?
Had it in live dealer once, chip sat on the betting layout and vanished
Live dealer hangs plenty too
ngl i've had dealers where i swear the ball lands in my favor way more, like every time olga’s dealing it feels like i’m on a heater. totally feels real in the moment, almost superstitious lol. but i know in theory it should all be random, and probably i just remember the good runs. does anyone else kinda chase specific dealers, or am i making patterns out of thin air here? does sticking with one ever actually help you, or just another gambler’s fallacy?
yeah i get why people say bluffing is a key part of poker. like, every movie ever makes it seem like you gotta be throwing chips in with nothing half the time. i get sucked into that mindset sometimes too, especially if i’m running cold or the table is all tight players. but honestly, the more i watch live games, most players don’t actually bluff as much as folks think. if anything, i see people overvaluing weak hands way more than the sneaky bluffs. it’s easy to justify one bad move if you call it a bluff but half the time it’s just plain hoping. i’m starting to think maybe it’s something new players lean on just to feel in control or unpredictable, when really the strength is in picking spots carefully. curious what feels "normal" for people who play at real tables versus online.
