Andrew hi! My pal and I are debating set-mining. I feel like you wrote a piece about it, but can't put my hands on it. I know you did discuss it, I believe in a chat with Tommy at one point. Is there an article link? Thanks! @thinkingpoker.bsky.social

If you're in countless hands across a live cash session, you're effectively in no hands.

Hi Gary, such a beautiful space! I had a date there years ago. Memories are alive and well. I also love Fanelli's as a symbol of all things old(er) NYC. Though can't rate their martinis.

I wrote about @templebarnyc in my New Yorker martini crawl. God, how I love their use of olive oil in their martinis, which could become a disaster in the wrong hands.

BEWARE NOT THE BLUFF "People don't bluff nearly as much as you think they do. Tourney and cash pros win because they play big pots with the best hand. Not because they use advanced bluff strategies. They simply depend on the fact that you won't believe them." -- h/t Power Hold'em Strategy

Consider and evaluate your entire cash session as a package. It's never just one interesting or complex hand.

It takes mindful practice to grow indifferent to starting hands, especially AA and KK. We see these hands and expect to win with them. I love Doyle's quote in SuperSystems: "I'd rather have A/K than either aces or kings. You win more when you make a hand, and lose less when you miss."

Poker is information warfare. When you give less than you get, you control the info balance and it shows in your confidence. The longer you tank, say, in any given hand, the more information you give up about your range. Equilibrium is fed by strong hand planning and fast action.
