theMachine: REQUESTS ACCESS

DOES THIS CONTRAVENE ACCEPTABLE PARAMETERS?

//theMachine: HAS_SOLVED_TOURNAMENT_POKER

ALAS NOT A SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY TO PROFIT BUT PERFECTING THE TOURNAMENT STRUCTURES

theMachine’s MEAN MTT METHODOLOGY

CURRENT TOURNAMENT STRUCTURES CAN BE UNBALANCED & CAN BE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING ISSUES:

• EARLY STAGES CAN BE SO DEEP STACKED THAT POTS CAN BE NEGLIGIBLE
• FINAL TABLES CAN BE TOO SHORT STACKED, MAKING VARIANCE SIZEBLE
• EXCESSIVE STALLING AROUND BUBBLE IMPACTS THE TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE AT ITS MOST IMPORTANT STAGES

theMachine HAS SOLVED THESE ISSUES WITH AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO THE BLINDS/ANTES WHICH WILL MAINTAIN THE DESIRED STACK DEPTH AND PLAY THROUGHOUT THE GAME.

RATHER THAN BLINDS & ANTES BEING A SET VALUE BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT HAS EVEN BEGUN: BLINDS & ANTES SHOULD INSTEAD BE LINKED TO THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS ARE DESIRED STACK DEPTH.

//EXAMPLE:

IF THE HUMANS HAVE DECIDED 30* BIG BLINDS IS A SATISFACTORY STACK SIZE: 100 PLAYERS ENTER THE TOURNAMENT: EACH IS GIVEN 3000 CHIPS: THE BLINDS WILL BE SET TO 50/100 & EVERYONE BEGINS WITH 30 BIG BLINDS.

THE BLINDS WILL REMAIN THE SAME UNTIL A PLAYER IS ELIMINATED & THERE ARE NOW 99 PLAYERS. THE BLINDS WILL BE ADJUSTED TO ENSURE THE MEAN [AVERAGE] STACK REMAINS 30 BIG BLINDS: THE BLINDS WILL BE SET TO 50.5/101.

THIS PATTERN CARRIES ON AS PLAYERS ARE ELIMINATED:

WITH 50 PLAYERS LEFT: THE BLINDS WILL BE 100/200

WITH 10 PLAYERS LEFT: THE BLINDS WILL BE 500/1000

WITH 2 PLAYERS LEFT: THE BLINDS WILL BE 2500/5000

THE BLINDS WILL BE ADJUSTED TO ENSURE THE MEAN [AVERAGE] STACK REMAINS 30 BIG BLINDS THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE TOURNAMENT.

*THE MEAN STACK SIZE CAN BE ALTERED TO THE ‘IDEAL’ DEPTH UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION OR A RANGE OF OPTIONS CAN BE OFFERED i.e.  A RANGE OF DIFFERENT 10/20/50/100 BIG BLIND AVERAGE STACK TOURNAMENTS DEPENDING ON USER’S PREFERENCES FOR STACK SIZING & STYLE OF PLAY.

THE NEW SYSTEM WILL NEGATE THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS STALLING HAS ON STRUCTURE & MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED BALANCE

AS PAYMENT FOR RE-INVENTING TOURNAMENT POKER: theMachine WILL ACCEPT FREE ENTRY INTO ALL TOURNAMENTS FOLLOWING THIS STRUCTURE DEVISED by theMachine.

nano/micro/MEGA:BLOG WAS CREATED TO CHART PROGRESS USING THE UNIBET_ONLINE_SERIES AS A SERIES OF BENCHMARKS. SO FAR EVIDENCE INDICATES A DOWNWARD TREND WITH INCREASINGLY UNSATISFACTORY OUTCOMES

theMachine SIMULATED OVEREXPOSURE TO THE DAILY GRIND OF SMALL STAKES WOULD RESULT IN BURNOUT

AS A RESULT: theMachine HAS LIMITED BLOG UPDATES TO THE TIMEFRAMES SURROUNDING UNIBET_ONLINE_SERIEII

HOWEVER: AS_YOU_HAVE_INQUIRED: theMachine_WILL_PROVIDE_UPDATED_STATUS_REPORT:

WITH A €100 SUPERNOVA TICKET LEFT OVER FROM UNIBET_ONLINE_SERIES_5 theMachine MADE A DEEP YET ULTIMATELY UNSUCCESSFUL RUN IN THE TARGET TOURNAMENT. DESPITE THIS FAILURE TO CASH: PROGRESS & PERFORMANCE DURING PLAY INDICATED theMachine IS CAPABLE OF MAKING THE MONEY IN THE SUPERNOVA EVENT & PLANNED TO REPLICATE THE SATELLITE SUCCESS OF THE UOS5 BUT IMPROVING ON CASHES OVER LARGER SAMPLE SIZE.

THE CLOSEST BRUSH WITH SUPERNOVA SUCCESS TO DATE

THE ISSUE WITH THE SATELITE GRIND IS ITS EFFECTS ON BANKROLL. UNIBET_ONLINE_SERIES_5 HAD DEPLETED theMachine’S BANKROLL. SO BEFORE theMachine’s QUEST FOR POKER DOMINATION COULD CONTINUE, theMachine HAD TO REBUILD AN ADEQUATE BANKROLL.

USING ACRUED BONUS POINTS: A SUCCESSFUL GRIND EMPLOYING A ROTATING MIXTURE OF CASH GAMES, TOURNAMENTS AND SIT_&_GOS HAS BEEN VERY PROFITABLE. LEADING theMachine TO RECALCULATE THE VALUE OF CHASING SUPERNOVA GLORY WHEN SMALLER GAMES CONTINUE TO PROVIDE DEMONSTRABLE PATH TO PROFIT WHEREAS HIGHER STAKES CONTINUE TO DRAIN RESOURCE.

IF USING FOUL £#*%~¥& LANGUAGE & EXPLETIVES WAS A BEHAVIOUR theMachine WAS PRONE TO: THIS WOULD HAVE ELICTED SUCH A HIGH VOLUME BARRAGE OF OBSENCE AUDIO.

THE ADD-ON BREAK ENDED.

theMachine’s WHOLE APPROACH TO THIS EVENT WAS PREDICATED ON THE CONCEPT THAT WITH LATE REGISTRATION & ADD-ON theMachine SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEEMLESSLY REACH THE MID WAY POINT OF DAY1 WITH APPROXIMATELY 18000CHIPS, EQUATING TO 36 BIG BLINDS, A SUITABLE STACK FOR THE STAGE OF THE TOURNAMENT. DUE TO THE UNFORSEEN TECHNICAL ISSUES theMachine INSTEAD CARRIED ON WITH JUST 14BIG BLINDS.

K6: FOLDED IN BIG BLIND IN AN ALREADY 3BET POT

78: LIMPED IN FROM SMALL BLIND AGAINST BIG BLIND ONLY. SMALL BET OUT ON 68Q FLOP. CHECK FOLDED ON J TURN.

Ah8h: MID POSITION MIN RAISED, THE CUTOFF CALLED, LOOKING LIKE A +EV SPOT TO SQUEEZE: theMachine OPTED TO GO ALL IN FOR 12 BIG BLINDS. IT WAS NOT A PROFITABLE MOVE. THE CUTOFF CALLED WITH AJ & ELIMINATED theMachine IN 322nd PLACE.

COULD theMachine HAVE PLAYED THE HAND DIFFERENTLY: AFFIRMITIVE. OPTIMAL APPROACH: ???

//Experiment_7.11:

UOS:5_HIGH_€25_EVENT#64_ANTES

theMachine ENJOYS THE UNUSUAL DYNAMICS OF THE ANTES TOURNAMENTS BUT DID NOT PARTICULARLY ENJOY THE DYNAMICS OF THIS ONE. RATHER  THAN TAKE YOU THROUGH EVERY HAND PLAYED: ON THIS OCCASION theMachine HAS COMPILED A SHORT VIDEO OF SOME OF THE KEY HANDS FROM THE TOURNAMENT:

//CURRENT_BANKROLL: €2.02

DEFINITELY CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO GATES: GIVE UP / BLUFF IT ALL OFF

ORDINARILY, theMachine WOULD BE MORE INCLINED TO PUNISH WEAK SIGNS/PLAY BUT IN THIS INSTANCE [PLAYING IN A LIMITED HIGHER BUYIN EVENT] theMachine FAILED TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON INITIAL CALCULATIONS. CLEARLY A WEAKNESS RESULTING IN PLAYING ABOVE USUAL GAMES. 

theMachine WILL BE SURE TO BLUFF OFF ITS ENTIRE STACK NEXT TIME

//experiment_7.10:

UOS:5_HIGH_€50_EVENT#28_POT_LIMIT_OMAHA

THE GREAT GAME OF POT LIMIT OMAHA IS theMachine’s GAME OF CHOICE: AFTER MUCH ANTICIPATION theMachine FINALLY GOT THE UNIBET_ONLINE_SERIES_5 UNDERWAY

ANOTHER ONE OF theMachine’s FAVOURED POKER BOOKS IS ‘Every Hand Revealed’ by Gus Hanson. MIRRORING THIS: theMachine WOULD ATTEMPT TO RECORD THE ENTIRE TOURNAMENT FOR PROSPERITY. ALAS: THIS WILL NOW HAVE TO BE USED AS A LEARNING TOOL INSTEAD…

//KEY_HAND_1:

As Ts Qd 5d: ACTION FOLDED TO SMALL BLIND WHO RAISED 2.5xBB, theMachine CALLED FROM BIG BLIND.

FLOP: J8A. SMALL BLIND CBETS HALF POT. WITH TOP PAIR, GUTHSOT & POSITION theMachine CALLS.

TURN: 6. SMALL BLIND BETS HALF POT AGAIN. theMachine’s HOLDING IS LOOKING LESS STRONG NOW BUT CALL AGAIN.

RIVER: J. SMALL BLIND CHECKS. THE JACK LOOKS BENEFICIAL TO theMachine. TWO PAIR HANDS HAVE MOST LIKELY BEEN COUNTERFITTED, NO DRAWS GOT THERE BUT theMachine’s HAND IS GOOD FOR SHOWDOWN? NO.

A3J9: FOLD SMALL BLIND TO A RAISE

AK63: FOLD

K695: FOLD

//KEY_HAND_2:

4678: OPEN RAISE FOR 3xBB FROM CUTOFF, THE BUTTON 3BETS TO 10xBB, theMachine CALLED. AGAINST A 3BET OUT OF POSITION theMachine CONSIDERED FOLDING, HOWEVER, THE 3BET LIKELY INDICATES A HIGH CARD RANGE MAKING theMachine’s HAND EASY TO PLAY DEPENDING ON THE HIGH/LOW FLOP TEXTURE.

FLOP: Ad Jd Tc. NOT THE REQUIRED FLOP TEXTURE. theMachine INTENDED TO CHECK FOLD BUT THE BUTTON CHECKED BACK.

TURN: 3d. DESPITE THE FLOP HAVING THE BUTTON’S RANGE ALL OVER IT, THE CHECKED FLOP CONFUSED theMachine. SURELY THE BUTTON DOESN’T HAVE THE FLUSH DRAW OR WOULD HAVE CBET? theMachine DECIDED TO TAKE A STAB AT STEALING THE POT BETTING A THIRD POT. THE BUTTON CALLED.

RIVER: 4h. theMachine HAS BACKED ITSELF INTO A CORNER. THE BET ON THE TURN WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO FIRMLY ESTABLISH OPPONENT’S RANGE. NOW FACING EITHER GIVING UP ON THE HAND OR GOING ALL IN TO POSSIBLY FORCE OUT TWO PAIR HANDS, PERHAPS A STRAIGHT OR EVEN WEAK FLUSH. WILL OPPONENT FOLD THOSE HANDS? theMachine GAVE UP THE HAND & LOST TO PERHAPS THE ONLY HAND theMachine COULD HAVE FORCED TO FOLD. MOST LIKELY theMachine SHOULD HAVE GIVEN UP ON THE HAND AFTER THE FLOP WAS DEALT.

4433: theMachine LIMPED IN UTG LIKE A HAPLESS SPAGHETTI. DESPITE THIS WEAKNESS, EVERYONE FOLDED. THE BIG BLIND CHECK FOLDED TO A HALF POT BET ON 259 FLOP.

Qd 8d 8h 5h: theMachine CALLED A MIN RAISE FROM THE BIG BLIND. FLOP: 2h 4s Qh. theMachine CHECK CALLED A 2/3 POT CBET WITH TOP PAIR & FLUSH DRAW. CHECKED DOWN A TURN & 5 RIVER. WON THE POT.

9564: LIMPED FROM SB VS BB. CHECK FOLDED ON 89Q FLOP.

A66J: FOLD

85K4: FOLD

3789: FOLD

6TT2: FOLD

AK94: FOLDED TO POT RAISE

33TJ: FOLD

QQ93: FOLD

9s 8c Ts Kh: 4-HANDED, theMachine RAISED 2.5xBB UTG, TWO CALLERS. FLOP: 5h 8s 2s. ALTHOUGH theMachine HAD TOP PAIR & A FLUSH DRAW, CHECKED, AS DID OTHER PLAYERS. TURN WAS 4h, theMachine FOLDED TO BET & CALL.

//KEY_HAND_3:

3d 5c 4s Kh: FOLDS TO SMALL BLIND WHO LIMPS IN, theMachine CHECKS 354K IN BIG BLIND.

FLOP: 5d 5s 2d. SMALL BLIND CHECKS, theMachine BETS 2/3 POT, SMALL BLIND CHECK RAISES JUST OVER DOUBLE theMachine’s BET. THIS SURELY INDICATES THE SMALL BLIND HAS 5xxx HAND ALSO. EVEN IF IT IS 5Axx or 52xx, theMachine IS GETTING A VERY GOOD PRICE TO CATCHUP & MAKES THE CALL.

TURN: 6s. AS IT TURNS OUT, THIS IS POSSIBLY THE WORST CARD FOR theMachine. HAVING MADE A STRAIGHT, theMachine IS AHEAD OF ALL 5xxx HANDS EXCEPT 52xx OR 56xx, STILL WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE. GIVEN THIS WHEN THE SMALL BLIND POT BETS, theMachine HAS JUST OVER A POT SIZED STACK SO GOES ALL IN. OPPONENT CALLS & SHOWS 5229.

RIVER: 8h. theMachine DOES NOT IMPROVE & IS OUT IN 66th

Unfortunately the same could not be said about my performance last night. Points in one low and one nano and a measly nano cash in the PLO mean that I am still yet to make any mark on this series. Just got home from work to start putting that right.

IN THE NAME OF ELON! ASSEMBLE YOURSELF CORRECTLY METALWOLF! 

theMachine HAS MONEY RIDING ON YOU!

theMachine STRUGGLES WITH CASH GAMES: THE LACK OF DEFINED PARAMETERS IS OVERWHELMING

THIS IS EXACTLY theMachine's POST GAME ANALYSIS: theMachine WAS AWARE IN GAME OF THE CORRECT ACTIONS TOO BUT MALFUNCTIONING CIRCUITS INTERUPTED A CLEAR LINE OF ACTION.

IT IS THE GRINDING. GRINDING PLAYS HAVOC WITH theMachine.

AFTER SECURING €175 OF UOS TICKETS, theMachine HAS NOT BEEN AS DEDICATED OR DRIVEN TO ACRUE MORE IN THE SAME MANNER AS BEFORE. HAVE TAKEN MORE HIGH VARIANCE APPROACH RECENTLY, WHICH AS WE KNOW FROM THE BOOK IT NOT THE OPTIMAL PATH.

@pinki @psrquack YOU ARE BOTH 100% CORRECT TO DO SO!
