Imagine a Saturday that starts with coffee and a leisurely stroll through a farmer's market selling fresh produce from the Chesapeake Bay region. Your day continues with drinks and a game of bocce at Vendetta Bocce Bar & Tavern, moves on to dinner at Smith Commons, followed by a dance performance at the Atlas Performing Arts Center before finishing up at Little Miss Whiskey's Golden Dollar. Imagine that's all near your doorstep.
The rest of the week, choose between hopping on your bike or boarding the DC Streetcar and connecting at Union Station on your way into work.

Great DMX controller
After watching the Under the Hood video on the site we decided to purchase this for our uplighting needs and it's just about perfect. It was a little complicated to figure out at first, but that's just to say that you can't open the box and run with it, you actually have to read up and watch a video to learn how to program. Once that's done though it's pretty simple. Very easy to adjust, switch between custom chases or built in and the fact that you can lock it is a huge bonus for us when we need to leave it somewhere and not worry about anyone messing with our settings.

Picture: FootLoose the musical photocall at the Playhouse Theatre on Nothumberland Avenue London, England - 22.08.07
Paramount's Footloose , which held a slim lead at the box office on Friday and Saturday, lost its footing on Sunday and wound up in second place for the weekend as Disney/DreamWorks's Real Steel made a comeback, thanks to Sunday's influx of family audiences at many theaters. Neither film had much to boast about, however. Real Steel 's domestic total in its second week came to just $16.29 million, a paltry amount given the film's reported $125-million budget. Footloose opened with just $15.57 million, but it reportedly cost less than $25 million to make. Two other newcomers had disappointing results. Universal's The Thing placed third with just $8.49 million while 20th Century Fox's The Big Year became one of the biggest flops of the year with $3.3 million. Altogether the weekend's crop of films grossed $77.03 million, representing a 36-percent drop from a year ago when Jackass 3D opened with $50.36 million and the total take came to $119.52 million.
The top ten films over the weekend, according to final figures compiled by Box Office Mojo (figures in parentheses represent total gross to date) 1. Real Steel, Disney, $16,291,655, 2 Wks. ($51,731,456); 2. Footloose, Paramount, $15,556,113, (New); 3. The Thing, Universal, $8,493,665, (New); 4. The Ides of March, Sony, $7,108,846, 2 Wks. ($21,763,235); 5. Dolphin Tale , Warner Bros., $6,233,185, 4 Wks. ($58,560,166); 6. Moneyball, Sony, $5,456,730, 4 Wks. ($57,668,988); 7. 50/50 , Summit, $4,260,087, 2 Wks. ($24,279,152); 8. Courageous, Sony/Tristar, $3,305,238, 3 Wks. ($21,282,828); 9. The Big Year, 20th Century Fox, $3,251,884, (New); 10. The Lion King, Disney, $2,792,403, 5 Wks. ($90,536,318).

Before reporting I just wanted to share this with you all and confirm. Working on Fedora 13. working with Word processor/writer. I was looking to open a file from my external Hard drive or from internal HDD but from a different partition, the OPEN DIALOG box wont show the drives available, it just displays the home dir. I tried the same with Open Office 3.2, the open dialog box shows all the drives available and other partitions. I have attached screen shots for verification.

We all know that email is easier, less time consuming, less expensive for sending information to our clients instead of using snail mail. I want you to think about something though. How many email newsletters are you signed up for? I know so many people that have an alternate email address that they use to sign up for things so that they don't bog down their inbox. You might be doing the same. If this is the case, then how many people are you really reaching with your emails?
Now think about this. How many letters or cards do you receive in your mailbox? Probably not as many as you used to years ago. When you do get one, what are the chances that you open it? Probably really high. So why not send your customers some snail mail? Chances are they are more likely to open it, and if you also send an email, you have increased your chances to be seen and to remind your clients to book their appointments. The only negative I really see with using direct mailings is the cost associated with it, but that can be minimal if you target your list as much as possible.
During the holidays, or other special events, I like to send out a snail mail piece to my clients as well as their email. I know that certain people don't even open my emails, but as soon as they have a flyer in their hand I get a call from them to book their appointment. I also know that some of my clients need that extra reminder. They may have seen the email, but as soon as they read it they became distracted at work and forgot about it until they get my information in the mail. Once they have a physical copy of my promotion, they book their appointment online, or call. The return on investment (ROI) of using a direct mail piece is so much higher than using email alone.
So tell me, how many times a year do you send out a snail mail piece to your clients? Let me know when in the comments below, and on the Massage Marketing Toolbox facebook group.

Being Thankful
2 Different Ways To Say Thank You To Your Clients
1. Sending thank you notes to your clients is a great way to stand out from your competition. Marketing is basically communicating to your clients and connecting with them. Take some time this week to send out some snail mail thank you notes to your best clients. It doesn't have to be long. You can keep it very simple by saying, "Just wanted to send a little note of thanks for your business." Sign your name and enclose a few business cards.
2. Pick a month (November for Thanksgiving or your business anniversary month) and for each client that has an appointment that month, give them a token of thanks at the end of their massage. It doesn't have to be anything expensive, just a small token of appreciation. It could be a piece of chocolate, or a promotional item like a stress ball, or lip balm, or lotion. If you decide to do this around the December holidays, maybe you hand them a candy cane with a bottle of water.
What are your thoughts? Let me know what you do in your massage practice to thank your clients for their business. Comment below or in the Massage Marketing Toolbox facebook group.

Welcome To The Neighborhood
Here is an easy way to market to a new homeowner in your neighborhood. Send them a letter or postcard and welcome them. Here is a sample that you may use, but make sure to make it your own and personalize it to what you specialize in.
Hello neighbor (insert name if you can),
Congratulations on your recent home purchase!
I hope you are settling in and feeling at home.
You can add a coupon if you wish to entice this person to come in sooner. Do make sure to enclose a business card at the very least so that they can keep your information on hand.
If you have a larger budget, or live in a smaller town, a welcome basket filled with items from multiple local businesses that you have partnered up with may have more impact than just a welcome letter.

Marketing Calendar Idea
A Way To Stay On Your Clients' Minds Throughout The Year
Do you own a paper calendar? Do your clients use paper calendars at home? I use one. Mine was given to me by my insurance agent. It has her information on the bottom visible each and every month. My mother uses two. One came from her insurance agent as well, and the other from a funeral home. these calendars are nothing special, and other than the banner business card on the bottom, they don't tell much about the business that provided them to us.
I happened upon an article in American Spa about the clever use of calendars for marketing your business. You can read the short article here: http://www.americanspa.com/spa-blog/model-calendar
This got my wheels turning in my brain of how I could come up with a calendar for my business that serves more purpose than the basic landscape scene with random quotes calendars we tend to receive. Instead of pictures of random scenes of red barns or snowy mountains, how about pictures of retail products with a coupon useable only in that particular month, or someone getting a massage in our place of business. Instead of random quotes, how about using interesting facts about the benefits of massage, or facts about the human body that relate to each particular month.
Giving away a calendar is nothing new in marketing, but it can be improved upon easily if you give it a bit of thought. What are your clients interests? What problem could you solve in February, August, or December. What reminders could you put in place throughout the year for your clients?
If you are going to give the calendar away, make sure you are the first business in the hands of your clients. I know that after I get a couple of calendars, the rest that follow end up in the recycling bin. I find that most companies send theirs out in December. How about sending yours out for Thanksgiving? It could double up as your November promotion giveaway as a way to say 'Thank You' to your clients.
What do you think of paper calendars? Do you use them? Let us know by commenting below, or at the Facebook Massage Marketing Toolbox group.

Step One To Getting Referrals
"Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends." - Walt Disney
The first step in getting referrals is to give people a good reason to talk about you.
Do you do anything that sets you apart from your competition?
Are you targeting a specific market so that when someone says, for example, "My back hurts so much from this pregnancy." You want their friend to say, "You should go see (insert your name) for a massage. She did wonders for my aches during pregnancy."
"My shins are killing me after that run yesterday." You want their friend to refer to you and possibly say,"You should go get a massage from (insert your name here). She runs in my running group and works on us all the time. Every since I started going to her, I've been able to run longer runs without feeling the soreness that I used to."
Do you have any events coming up where you encourage them to bring a friend? Open house, grand opening/reopening, sponsoring a sports event...the list could go on and on.
Think about what sets you apart. Why would someone choose you over the massage therapist down the street? What makes you the better choice?
Tell me what people are saying about you. If no one is talking about you yet, what would you want to to say? What do you want to be known for as a massage therapist? Share below in the comments, or in the Massage Marketing Toolbox Facebook group.

Introductory note from Jason Pratt: I am here appending in several parts some excerpts from an unpublished book of mine (not CoJ incidentally), originally composed late 99/early 2000, wherein I work out a progressive synthetic metaphysic.
The topic of this Section of chapters [beware!--long summary paragraph approaching! {g}] is ethical grounding; and in the first several entries I analyzed crippling problems along the three general lines of ethical explanation, including general theism. After this though, I returned to the argument I had already been developing for several hundred (currently unpublished) pages, and used those developed positions to begin solving the philosophical dilemmas I had covered in previous entries. Along the way, I ran into a potential problem last seen back in my (unpublished) Section Three; but slotting that problem into my developing argument allowed me to discover that I should believe that a 3rd Person of God exists. Having covered some introductory inferences regarding the 3rd Person's relationship to the other two Persons in the substantial unity of God, I proceeded to consider some preliminary issues in regard to requirements for personal interaction between the 3rd Person and each of us, as persons; and I inferred that an encouragement to avoid accepting what we perceive to be contradictory, would be the minimum communication we could expect from the Holy Spirit. After considering what an intention to foster contradictions would involve, first for God and then for myself, I reached the topic of enacted human sin; and I began considering the consequences of my sin. This allowed me to also spend some time, discussing anti-theistic arguments from evil and/or suffering, in context of my own developing argument; after which I returned again to considering the relationship of sin and death in me, raising the technical possibility of annihilation. My conclusion was that although the technical possibility would always remain (just as it does for God in a way), I can expect (if trinitarian theism is true) that God will never annihilate me or allow me to be annihilated. An insistence on my part to continue loving and enacting my sin would, however, lead to progressively worse results in me; with this continual degradation being, ironically, a perverted shadow of the death that God (in the Person of the Son) sacrificially undergoes in order for any creation at all to exist (including myself.) On the other hand, I cannot emulate (and share in) the highest death the Son Himself undergoes, without thereby being freed from my sinning: this is the death-into-life I should have always been sharing with the Son, but being a rebel I have been choosing to enact other deaths instead--deaths that do not lead back into life, for myself or for other people affected by my sinning. Those sinfuls deaths lead to effects other than an abundance of life: injustice for other people, sufferings that they did not deserve. Other results would be a critical hampering of my relationships with God, with God's created Nature (in which I live and of which I am partially constituted), and with other created persons. These results from enacting such a sinful death, not only appear to be a condition I was born in, but also appear to be endemic to the race of Man (and other races?) throughout known human history. Creation itself, and mankind in particular, has apparently Fallen; and the probabilities point (in mankind's case) to an original pair, male and female, of fallen humans. The story in my own religious tradition, of Adam and Eve, happens to illustrate the principles fairly well: the sin they enact is essentially the same as the sin I enact--they rebel against what light they can see, for no good reason at all. In doing so, they do receive the knowledge of good and evil, a knowledge that is good to have--but they receive it in the wrong and fatal way. Now their relationships with God, with the Nature created by God, and with each other, must change for the worse.
In my most recent entry, I ended by asking, "But, once they realize the penalties they have brought on themselves, can Adam and Eve choose to put the shape [of their lives] back exactly as they found it?"
This entry concludes chapter 40, "a history of the Fall", in my original text. Some side commentary I would otherwise relegate to footnotes, is included below in [Footnote] text. Where I thought a footnote would be too disruptive to represent in my main text, I have put it into the comments below instead; this will be marked where so.
.......[excerpt begins here]
They might want to [put that synthetic shape back to its original 'specifications', so to speak]; and that would be a good thing, as far as it goes. Indeed, love and justice on God's part would suggest that He will institute ways for them to know they have made a serious mistake that should be fixed.
It might be purely self-serving for Adam and Eve to want this; but the problem to be fixed is the result of their intentions to be purely self-serving. This cannot be fixed by being merely self-serving again. To truly want to fix it, must involve at least a partial negation of that intention. It is the first step, or one of the first, on the road of repentance.
But can they do it?
Basically the question is: once they have hampered their connection to the source of their knowledge and power, how can they have enough knowledge and power to put themselves back? [Footnote: If my Christian brethren here mutter something about 'gnosticism', let me preliminarily reassure them: I am perhaps the least gnostic Christian on the planet! Just bear with me a little longer.]
Either they can, or they can't. If it had been flatly impossible for them to be saved from this, God would have annihilated them. More to the point, God would not have designed them so that a rebellion was necessarily unfixable, precisely because He would not have wanted to annihilate them if they chose that choice.
God certainly would know how to help, and would certainly want to help them. But one of the things they have hampered is their communication ability with God--and they have hampered it from their own 'side' of the contact.
Let us say I take a razorblade to my own eyes, and slice them badly. Then I prudently say, "Opps! That was a bad idea... um... I need to fix this. Someone show me how." But it shall be rather difficult to 'show me how', with my eyes all sliced up!
The situation of the Fall, however, is far more fundamental than that. Although some change to the synthetic shape (which I think I can conclude would involve some type of subordinate change at the natural level) has been accomplished, it is not simply a matter of our ancestors 'wanting' to put that shape back right, if they could. The shape is already the result of their willful (not merely instinctive) wanting. [See first comment below for a longer footnote here.]
Okay, but can they not just sit down and transcendentally meditate, or something like that, and fix the problem?
I fully admit that this might help to fix the problem! But the problem, is that they have intentionally hampered their relationship with God. It might be somewhat helpful to meditate on how to re-achieve that relationship. But merely meditating on the abstract issue of the problem, won't solve the problem, even if they managed somehow to find the right answer. They have messed up their personal relationship to God as a Person, and to fix the problem that personal relationship is what they have to fully re-establish, not some intellectual theory or emotional feeling about the relationship. [See second comment below for another extended footnote here.]
So, to sum up: they need to get back in unity with God's character as a Person. But they have hampered their communication with God, so they have hampered their ability to discover or understand what that character is. Nearer is certainly better, but they should be right on the dot to achieve a full and proper unity. And remember, this is not like searching for a page in a book, or even quite like tuning a radio: what needs to be fixed is a personal relationship between active people (God and the individual). A magic codeword or passcard, or even knowledge about some metaphysical doctrine (do I know and accept the "Athanasian Creed" perfectly?--it says I will be hopelessly condemned if I don't!), won't fix the problem. A personal relationship isn't like that.
Will God help them? Of course! But, again, a magic codeword or passcard (or even some kind of forceful shifting of the synthetic shape by Him) cannot possibly accomplish the cure. God will work to help them, as people themselves, to understand and (even more importantly) to relate to Him as a Person again.
He will try to communicate with them.
But part of the problem is that they have messed up the 'radio' (so to speak) on their side. [Footnote: 'Tuning the radio' would not fix the problem by itself--but it is certainly part of fixing the problem.] His means of communication shall be more limited now, thanks to their own actions.
Yet God will still take every advantage He can of the newly limited channel of communication. He always has at least one foothold: He Himself continually acts to keep up their existence as active entities themselves. Whatever their own opinions or beliefs, He Himself still will relate to them as Person to persons. The Holy Spirit, the 3rd Person of the Divine Unity, still operates with the bare (yet still crucial) remnant of divine communication: find and accept truth, reject falsehoods. God would not have designed our predecessors so that any possible shifting of the synthetic shape could excise this contact of Person to persons--for this contact is what keeps the persons in existence.
No matter how far I try to harden my heart, to resolutely set my face against reality, reality still shall affect me. Reality is Personal; and I am a person. One way or another, that communication shall still continue, whether I recognize it as such or not.
So, if I choose to deal with truth to the best of my ability (however poor that ability of mine may be), then I am to that extent working with the Holy Spirit.
But remember that Truth is not itself abstract. Truth is Reality--more specifically, 'truth' is the relationship of a person to actual facts, and at the deepest level of reality this means that Truth is the actual relationship of God to God.
Our perceptions and communications of Truth may be abstract to one degree or another--I myself have had to use abstractions to try to communicate to you, my reader, what I have perceived to be true, even concerning the relationship of God to God.
But the foundational Truth itself is not abstract--it is actively real.
Consequently, while contemplation of truths (or even Truth) may be helpful in some ways, it is wasted without subsequent actions taken by us upon the truths we discern. [See third comment below for a footnote here.]
And those subsequent actions need to be taken with an intentive choice on our part, to remain true to 'the truth'--not necessarily to what we think is true; because our thoughts about what is true might be obstinate self-delusions, or they might simply be in error. Neither condition can possibly be healed unless we choose, as a goal, at every moment, even if beginning right now, even if we stumble and fall and pick ourselves up to try again--to be consistently for the Truth.
You, my reader, may not agree with me about the specific characteristics of ultimate Truth; but that is less important than whether you and I are actively committed, by our own choice, to pursue the objectively real truth--at the expense of our own preference-feelings, if necessary. [See fourth comment below for an extended footnote here.]
The first sinners would be in the same condition as I, in this respect. Would they, or would they not, as individuals, 'repent'? Would they change their willed intent back to embracing the truth?
Perhaps they would; perhaps they wouldn't. But even if they didn't, God still would be pursuing them, for the sake of fulfilling His love and His justice to them.
And the extent to which He would pursue them (and to which He does pursue you and I!) will be discussed throughout the remainder of this book.
Meanwhile, complications arise.
These first sinners, our human progenitors, do not exist in a vacuum. They exist within a vast and reactive Nature, which shall be busily going about its 'business' over time, even over mere moments of time. And they exist for some purpose; a purpose (or set of purposes) that must have been very important to God: for He let them do something quite astonishing, given their current rebellious condition.
He let them breed.
I will discuss the implications of this, in the next chapter.
[Next up: the children of the first sinners]

Introductory note from Jason Pratt: I am here appending in several parts some excerpts from an unpublished book of mine (not CoJ incidentally), originally composed late 99/early 2000, wherein I work out a progressive synthetic metaphysic.

Some of the footnotes were too unwieldy, I thought, to be reproduced in the main text above, so I'm porting them here. This is the first such footnote.
....... [footnote begins here]
Wants aren't always merely instinctive feelings, as I can personally testify. The Fall of our first ancestors would have been predicated not by instinctual wants, if any--I don't know whether God would have allowed them to have wants of that sort, although I suppose it is quite possible--but by choices on their part to intentively defy what they believe to be true. Actions tend to have feelings consequent to the actions, and so the action of wanting something tends to have consequent feelings of 'want' as well; but I am not speaking of mere feeling.
- Jason Pratt said...
The second unwieldy footnote.
.......[footnote begins here]
Many meditative operations are not about generating feelings or contemplating notions, of course--although I have found such meditations to be helpful as a tool, myself. In many cases, the meditations are a focusing operation designed to help get rid of 'clutter' in the mind. These can certainly be helpful, too. I am basically in favor of many different forms of meditation; but I question some of the goals. Any meditation that involves a depersonalizing goal, should be avoided--'personality', per se, is not the problem. The breach of a personal relationship with God is the problem.
- Jason Pratt said...
Third unwieldy footnote.
....... [footnote begins here]
There are subordinate truths, of course; just as there are subordinate facts, derivative of the Independent Fact--Who is, Himself, not merely a Fact but the Truth. This is why no merely created entity should ever claim to be the Truth. I am not the Way, the Truth or the Light. I serve the One Who is.
- Jason Pratt said...
Fourth unwieldy footnote here! (I had more than usual for this chapter. {g})
....... [footnote starts here]
'Less important' does not mean 'not important'. As I said in Section One [currently unpublished], if I thought differences of opinion about truth were unimportant, I wouldn't be writing this book. At the very least, differences about truth are important because what a person thinks is important--because persons are individually important, whomever they may be. But differences about truth cannot be considered important, unless we personally commit to pursue the truth.

I stude in the crowed of elfs and wolves I pushed my way thought to the frount ocasionly barking at people to move and hiting them on the head, with my walking stick.
most thought a walking stick was combersom but to me it was an exstention of my arm.
I was at the frount of the que now and stude beside Aven, liam, benjamin, and nieve, as Evelyn and Ander came thought the crowed towards us on one side of the crowed and sarya on the other side.
I pushed back my hair to show off my scare, my eyes darted around.
I couldent help but think of the last time I had been to see the elders and the painful memorys it held for me.
flash back
we were serounded by hunters. my mother and father trying to scare them off. one humen got me from behind my mother jumped at him and his kinfe went into her chest she turnd back into humen form as her blood spared down on me the hunters looked saprised and scared one of them got at my father I tryed to jump in the way and my eye got slashed... the last thing I remember was seeing my father trying to fight off the last of the hunters then darkniss.
when I wock blood was everywhere I jumped to my feet, my anckel hurt but I pushed away the pain.
`mother` I cryed and went to her she was cold and her eyes clouded... dead.
I turnd and saw my father laying on the ground in humen form he was panting trying to get some breath.
`daughter` he said as I aproched my ankel hurt like hell but I pushed it away.
`daughter` he said again wesing his eyes were clouding
`father... no not you too no` I say looking around I needed to find help I looked around... but no one else was there... and I had no knolige of the healing ways of the elves.
`I`m fadding daughter... I will be gone soon but do not worry... I she`ll always be with you... as a lest request... please tell the others of our fight...`
`but you said we were never to go back`
`go back daughter you will be safe there... tell them all of our batel` tears came to my eyes. `fahter` I wispered then his breath caught and fadded out and he was gone.
`father` I screamed
I pulled my parents dead bodys back to the village, my ankle hurt like hell and I couldent see out of my eye because it was pussed from blading. but I went along pulling there bodys back never stoping.
back at the village every one wached as I pulled there bodys to the elders cavern. people asked questions asked to help all that stuff but I ignored them groweling when someone came to close.
`this is what you have done` I yelled at them droping my parents dead bodys on the flour. the elders turnd to me they tryed to tend to my wonds I would not let them.
`dont tuch me` I groweled then I exslaned the story to them of what had happened off in the forest.
I tended to my wonds alone in my hallow under neath the tree.
end flash back
I shock myself I had not been back to see the elders since that day...
`are you okay` asked sarya
`fine` I say streching
`are you shere` she asked again
I nodded curtly `its nothing...`
`Mia` said benjamin
`what` I say angraly to benjamin
`no need to be hostil I was just going to say maybe you should cool it` he said I rolled my eyes and hit him over the head.
`there are resons for me not going to see the elders and you have no bussniss telling me to cool it when you know of the resons yourself benjamin so just leave it`
he said nothing more as he rubbed his head, his eyes daring to my walking stick, as if I might hit him again. whitch made me chuckel and I just might have if I was in a really agresough mood.
my thoughts then tunrd to the concel meating.... and I grouned closing my eyes, someone patted my sholder and I shoved them off in reflex standing streat tall and prowed. a stachew gard like.
the hand went back to my sholder and traveled down to the center of my back.
`it will all be fine...` said a grough voice my body relaxed by the sound of it, and a small smile was placed apone my lips.
the hand traveled down to the small of my back and then onto my oposit hip, the smile folterd and fell. the arm pulled me closer as I shifted unconfertably they removed there hand.

|This is a discussion on Facing 3bs OOP with semi-premiums within the online poker forums, in the Cash Games section; Calling 3bs is by far the biggest leak in my game. I believe I could massively improve my bottom line by making some serious adjustments
Facing 3bs OOP with semi-premiums
Calling 3bs is by far the biggest leak in my game. I believe I could massively improve my bottom line by making some serious adjustments in this department. I've been trying, but in reality it's really too hard to judge whether it's improving or not if that makes sense.
Okay so I used to call a ton of 3bs, fold to 3b was like ~40%. I know this is terrible. It's a bad habbit I picked up from 1c2c in order to play a ton of pots with fish (as well as the fact that you can set mine a lot more frequently at 2nl as stacks are deep). While I believe it worked great at low levels, I know it doesn't higher up. Definitely a big way to bleed at 25nl.
In order to try and fix this, I simply stopped calling 3bs, and now just 4b or fold religiously, but I'm not happy about it, as 4b ranges have to be so tight at this level that I'm easily exploited as I fold to 3bs a ton- which might I add happen every 2nd hand it seems.
Let's say I get 3b and for arguments sake, it's to an amount I cannot flat to setmine.... What's my line with something like AQo OOP vs 10% 3b range? I seriously have no idea. Say i opened CO and was raised by Bu. I hate folding it, because lets face it villain is showing up with shit like 97s here often, i hate calling it because I'm c/f a ton of the time as I miss the flop lots, and when I Bink the ace I'm winning a small pot or losing a big one, and I hate 4bing it because If he shoves I can't call, he rarely folds (people seem to feel super pot committed) and calls often, where I have to play a large pot OOP and therefore just kinda hope he folds to my flop Cbet, which is generally half the time imo
What else should I look at when considering whether to fold/call/4b in the above scenario apart from 10% 3b, fold to 4b and how often vil folds to Cbets/raises Cbets on the flop and turn in 3b pots (I realise pot will be 4b, but 3b stat will be relatively similar and converge quicker)
Really lost here, appreciate you reading that essay lol cheers
A useful stat when you have enough hands is called '3b vs steal'. For example your villain with 10% 3b overall might have a 15% 3b vs steal or a 10% 3b vs steal or a 5% vs steal.
15%= his 3b range increases vs steals
10%= his range remains the same
5%= he tightens up vs steals
so use that stat to deduce his game style and your play back at range.
most good players 3b vs steal range should increase.
oop its still better to 4b or fold unless you have some great reads on the guy like he cbets 99% in 3b pots or cbets 90% and turn cb 30% etc. That might give you justification to call. But more often than not just 4b or fold.
You might feel like youre getting exploited but its most likely not the case. Also remember that youre 3betting a lot too so its evening out. Let them make the mistake of calling your 3b oop while you stay solid and 4b or fold.
If at a table you feel like youre getting 3b every hand then leave unless theres a very good reason to stay. If certain regs 3b you a lot, use HM to filter them out and find their 3b range so you can play back at them a bit better.
Theres nothing wrong with folding to 3b a lot. Dont fold too much though like 70% but 50% if very very fine.
Still tend to fold to 3-bets more than you do. AQo is a standard fold to 3-bets in or out of position at 25 NL, IMO.
But it really depends on their 3-betting tendencies. I'll say it again: If they are 3-betting a polarized range, tend to flat. If they are 3-betting a merged range, tend to 4-bet. The reasons why should be obvious.
And while we should tend to 4-bet OOP and flat IP, if they are 3-betting a merged range we should still tend to flat OOP. This means sometimes flatting AA/KK to 3-bets. Because you'll need a stronger range to flat OOP and those are the strongest hands we can flat, and AA/KK are a lot easier to play OOP than any other hands.
If I raise from a steal spot and get 3b by a blind, I just look at their 3b from that position, it'd be relatively similar to 3b vs steal wouldn't it?
So what, 4b/fold to shove? Seems kinda spewy :s
Also, it's very common at 6max to have guys 3b between 15-20% ITB vs steals so you almost are literally getting 3b half the time lol.
Thanks for the in depth response too, appreciated
And ye I get the polarized/merged thing, real helpful cheers
re: Poker & Facing 3bs OOP with semi-premiums
folding to 70% of 3bets is a lot overall. I think more optimal would be around 60%. When you get higher and most players are well versed in 3betting and exploiting stats then it should be around 50%.
Strictly oop then i agree you should fold much more.
I do agree that the best strategy vs 3bets is the tight strategy where folding is your default.
Folding 70% to 3bets is definitely not optimal if we wanna look at it through making ourselves unexploitable to other regs. Regs can literally 3bet ATC if we fold 70% to 3bets and show a profit. This is something im working on too, my fold to 3bet when raise first in is 67%, so yeah a part of my game where i can be exploited. Thing is i don't think you need to worry that much about it, i'd like to get mine down to around 55% just so i don't have a target on my head all the time (this doesnt matter until you hit 50nl i'd say, maybe more so at 100 and 200 where regs are looking at stats to exploit you) But still i feel it's something to think about... One thing im sure really gets me 3bet a lot is people who use pokertracker fold to 3bet stat ,this doesnt count only the times you raised first in and folded to a 3bet, so for example, mine is about 82% and obviously regs who use this are just gonna 3bet me constantly. Not a big deal though as they're using the wrong stat and probably gonna exploit themselves.
At the micro's i think folding to 70%+ of 3bets is gonna be totally fine, it's working for me folding almost 70% at higher limits, i just wanna get mine lower to stop being as exploitable although people still arent exploiting me enough for it.
How to check whether you should be defending more or less to 3bets would be to filter for faced a 3bet after raised first in and look how much you lose when you fold... (probably around 300bb/100 depending on your opening size etc) Then look at faced 3bet and called, if this number is lower than the first number then your calling of 3bets strategy is actually making you money even if its -290 bb/100 compared to just folding outright to the 3bets) inb4 "but folding is always 0 EV!!!"
This is 6 max correct? I don't see how you could have problems with 3 bet pots here. That's one of the biggest reasons to play 6 max. 3bet rangers are way wider in 6 max than full ring.
Depending on how often the guy 3bets you adjust your range accordingly.
I'm assuming Baudib is talking full ring when saying one should fold AQ to a 3bet regardless of being IP or OOP. I'll only muck that to an extremely nitty player in 6 max.
Btw, I hope you take advantage of putting people in this awkward position as well and 3bet them just as often in 6 max games.
re: Poker & Facing 3bs OOP with semi-premiums
I just don't know people who play 6max tables because they like the blinds hitting them more often.
Yeh in 6max you do find people 3betting a bit more from co-btn, and will be more players with higher 3bets "standing up for their blinds" But it's not a huge difference when you start playing where people arent retarded. It's pretty irrelevant because the BTN is the BTN. The blinds are the blinds. A btn vs blinds spot in FR is exactly the same as in 6max. There are still plenty of people 3betting 12%+ vs btn steals in FR and people are still stealing from the button with the EXACT same range as the cool kids over at 6max with (40%,50% whatever, same position 3 less seats)
The biggest reason why its irrelevant is because just because you assume FR is full of people who don't 3bet, doesn't mean we can happily fold all the time when we get 3bet. At 6max and FR and HU, if you raise and get 3bet the chances are you are going to have to defend a almost identical percentage of your opening range to avoid being exploited.
Basically what your advice or statement was, was that OP shouldnt have any problems dealing with 3bets because its 6max? I just think people who don't play FR just assume because its not 6max that btn-blinds are a whole world apart, when they're pretty much identical, you play the two guys to your left and that is all... You dont NEED to steal more, you dont NEED to defend more or any of that bullshit people always go on about, a good player in either format will do both optimally.
I agree with what you're saying and although button blind battles are the same thing regardless, they happen more often in 6max situations. Which means you should be prepared for that type of thing, and become an avid 3better yourself isolating fish.
I just think for that type of format there's a certain playing style that differs from FR. Not entirely different. But for example if I have AJ on the BU in FR and the BB 3bets me i'll be less likely to call, if I have no information on the villain, but in 6max I will probably gladly make that call.
Obviously I agree this is all villain dependent regardless, if you have that type of information on a player.
ye i do play shorthanded, and well dw i 3b the shit out of everyone, my defend range is enormous lmao.
i still think folding 70% is optimal for like 10NL, where people dont even know what blind defense is. but again, vil dependent always
also acky cheers for that about fold to 3b stat, had no idea
Acky, your point is well-taken but I'll still tend to disagree. I think at higher levels, let's say NL100 and above, it is very true. The aggression tends to increase exponentially, and I'm sure people who would be nits at FR NL100 are more aggro than TAGs at NL25 6-max.
However, at NL25 and below I just don't see it as being true. Keep in mind I haven't played these games for more than a year so this is mostly talking out of my arse. But I see all sorts of stats and positional details on you guys and I just don't see solid players around here playing NL25 and opening the BTN 50% or something, which is very common at 6-max.
The last time I was playing 6-max, I got to the point of getting it in pre with 88-TT type hands BTN vs. Blinds and found myself generally in good shape. I think I was significantly on the aggro/loose side in doing that but I don't think you could dream of happily stacking TT-JJ/AQs type hands at any position at NL25 FR. There are all kinds of 3-bet monkeys at 6-max, at least there were on the big sites, who are 3-betting like 20% and higher from the SB.
re: Poker & Facing 3bs OOP with semi-premiums
also, do you mean that youd say open x3 BTN, get 3b to like 10BB and 4b shove TT or what?
This is not AIPF but it was Rush poker. I just don't think this type of spew happens at FR.

as for 99>A8 BvB im completely mindblown. are you just 4bing cos its BvB or what? are you makign this play readless? surely this cant be standard to get it in good there?
JJ hand, I felt he would call with A-high so he was at the top of his range.
99 hand was a totally standard AIPF for value against that guy.
Baudib you do have a hud tho right? Or some kind of read on these players habits?
Btw, love the shove with JJ but in all honestly what made you do that? To get 77 or 88 type hands to hero call? I figure if he had those types then he would continuation bet unless planning a crazy check raise..
Love it tho, makin a hero call with dueces is retarded to me
Looks to me like your shoving 77 at the absolute minimum. I would put you on A9 or tens. And even 87s is a favorite there lmao
re: Poker & Facing 3bs OOP with semi-premiums
Getting back on topic. Not folding to 3-bets was a leak of mine for a long time and still is really. But in general, folding TT/AQ and even some better hands OOP to a 3-bet from a nit or TAG (if you have a tight image) is generally going to be your best play. I'd be really surprised if you are profitable with those hands when facing a 3-bet at NL25 or lower.
Trust me when I say that for the most part, I have never had much trouble getting action when ahead and I have special talent for tilting people.
I was just saying folding to 70% is not theoretically close to optimal as even if you open 100% or 10% of hands, if you fold 70% of them you're exploitable to 3bets by ATC. I agree its probably optimal for multitabling 10nl though for sure, you arent gonna get exploited enough to want to get nit picky and defend like 50%. Its just not about tightness or looseness at all is what im trying to say, you get 3bet you have to defend a set % of your range in order to not be exploitable by ATC, this number does not depend on anything but the size of the 3bet they make.
Folding too often is a significant leak but calling a 3bet to play fit or fold on the flop is throwing money away. If you have a strong hand or feel confident you can steal the pot fairly often calling can be ok, especially in position. 4betting is often better than calling, especially out of position. Just pick your spots.
This kinda sucks too though....
As far as I can calculate, in a standard 10NL spot say I open to 3BB w/ AQo front the BTN, SB 3bs me to 9BB, I 4b to 22BB;
-I'm risking $2.20 to win $1.30
-Assuming I always fold to a 5b shove, i need to get him to fold 65%+ to show profit.
- I hate 4b shoving pre because I'm virtually always drawn dead if I get called here, it's always QQ+/AK
I will mainly be doing my 4b bluffing in BTNvInd spots, and therefore looking at positional 3b stats, ie I assume ones 3b in SB stat is going to as wide if not wider than indicated vs a BTN open. So if this stat is like ~10% its theoretically profitable, assuming vils 5b shove range is like JJ+, AK and he folds everything else, however this is not the case. From experience, I get called here by AK AQs, 77-JJ a lot, and consequently am not sure how to proceed on virtually Any board.
Obv any kind of equity on any flip I'm bet/shoving, maybe even open shoving if I like it more. Blank flops I'm prob doing the same.
Any thoughts on my aforementioned logic slash lack thereof? Lol
re: Poker & Facing 3bs OOP with semi-premiums
If you have trash and poor position, consider folding to the 3bet. Most players, especiall novice players and nits are 3betting strong hands.
4bet shoving is slightly higher ev than 2.5x 4bet/folding. Primarily because of the increased fold equity. Both options have their places and require an opponent who can fold a medium strength hand like TT or for you to have a good enough hand to play a big pot. Folding weak hands OOP is usually a good choice.
If your opponent has a tendency to 3bet bluff frequently, you can flat with a monster and lead out or check raise on the flop. Against some players you can bluff this line but it is a dangerous play. Applied against the right opponent, it can be profitable. Leading the flop can also be less expensive than 4betting as a bluff. Ususally just tightening up your raising requirements (so your range is strong enough to stand a 3bet) against this type of player will win their money. Be careful who you make moves against. If your opponent is like most low level NL players, their 3bet is usually real. They have a hand. Calling to to hit a mirical is costly; you need excellent implied odds.

About Marie & Lorenzo
The Farm Il Frantoio di Vicopisano came into being from Nicola Bovoli and his family's love for food, quality and the Tuscan landscape.
The adventure began in the Eighties when they bought a farmhouse, a mill and about ten hectares of olive trees in the beautiful medieval village of Vicopisano, on the lower slopes of the Monte Pisano.
Today the organic farm produces an award winning olive oil, a wonderful red wine from the Sangiovese grape, and various other organic produce which is available for purchase not only throughout Italy and at the farm's own shop but also in exclusive outlets in America.
Nicola and his wife Lucia are both from Tuscany and have 2 children; Simona their daughter lives on the farm and works in the office and is very much hands on in the business and she is also a qualified and professional olive oil taster, nephew Francesco and his wife Valentina also work at the farm. Francesco works the land, tends the olives and sometimes jumps off his tractor to offer guided tours round the mill and farm!
Valentina helps with bookings alongside Marie and Lorenzo who are English speaking booking agents who are based in the village, it is Marie and Lorenzo who will initially deal with your booking enquiries.
Marie & Lorenzo (pictured) are not Bovili family members but have come to know and love this idyllic place on the hill and the hospitality of the family. Marie is British and will be on hand for all English Language enquiries, although all the Bovili family do speak English and there will always be a family member close at hand during your stay. .
Marie & Lorenzo purchased this apartment in 1980
Why Marie & Lorenzo chose Pisa area
.The property was purchased initially with a view to starting the olive oil business, however it was the love of the Tuscan landscape and the favorable micro climate which swayed the decision for the Bovili family to settle in this area.The farm is surrounded by almost 3000 olive trees, a large vineyard, a rich orchard and a sweet smelling pine forest. At the heart of the estate stands an ancient olive oil mill (Frantoio) where all the freshly picked olives are turned into the golden oil .
What makes this apartment unique
The farm (Frantoio) is also ideally situated close to the village of Vicopisano and all its amenities.

Amazing location, owner, staff, and property!
Everything about this place was wonderful. The owner was extremely hospitable and gracious. The property was comfortable and had everything we needed. The farm is breath taking and the little town is charming. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We hope to go back and stay in the same property in the future. I would recommend this property to others.
A fabulous short break in a beautiful place.
We stayed the first week in April and the weather was glorious. The apartment was very pretty and the photographs and description of the property are very accurate.
The owners are really friendly and happy to help you with anything you may need. Marie and Lorenzo who will manage your bookings are there as much or as little as you need happy to answer any questions you may have and provide you with directions etc.
On our first evening we were made to feel so welcome met with some new friends in the village at a lovely wine bar called Borgo Maggiore. The owners were extremely welcoming even made my boyfriends his favourite Tiramisu desert for when we returned for dinner the Wednesday evening. This wine bar is a must for you to drop into delicious food and lovely wine. They also have some fun cocktails :-)
The village is a lovely place to relax with a wine or two and there a couple of wine bars, restaurants and Pizzeria's. We didn't hire a car instead explored on buses, trains and good old fashioned walking. We got to visit Florence, Pisa and Lucca in the 3 full days were stayed but would love to of stayed longer so we could explore further.
The Kiwi liqueur in the farm shop on site is delicious and an excellent night cap after a busy day site seeing.
If you chose this apartment and village I am sure you will have an amazing time as we did.
Lovely Holiday ... fabulous location ..
Enjoyed a wonderful week here in late August early September. The weather was great and the location amazing. 1 hour to Florence and Volterra,1/2 to Lucca and Pisa, all must visit places. We didn't make the beach but also within travelling distance
The apartment was clean and spacious , basic but comfy with a big Tuscan bed. the setting was idyllic on an organic olive farm with lovely views and a 5 minute walk into the little medieval village with handy supermarket .... one word of warning .. the shops are not open on Sundays ! Definitely recommend.

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 7:
Magic number: It might be harder to accomplish than it sounds, but there's a very simple formula for success for the Atlanta Falcons. In the three games they've won, the Falcons have scored at least 30 points. In the three games they've come up short of 30 points, they're 0-3. One wise move for the Falcons might be to establish the ground game. Detroit has allowed 100 rushing yards in each of its last five games. Atlanta is 22-3 when Michael Turner rushes for at least 100 yards.
Lucky charm? The Carolina Panthers might be catching a huge break with Washington's decision to bench quarterback Rex Grossman and replace him with John Beck. Grossman was having his problems, but there's no real evidence to indicate that Beck will be the solution. Beck's career record as a starter is 0-4. He hasn't started a game since Week 14 of the 2007 season.
Pressure's not the problem: Added pass-rushers haven't really been a problem for Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan. His numbers against the blitz have been better than when facing a standard defense. When facing four or fewer pass-rushers, Ryan has thrown five interceptions and been sacked 13 times, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The bad news is that the Lions blitz less than any team in the league. They've sent four or fewer pass-rushers on 83.3 percent of opponent dropbacks.
History in London? The last two meetings between the Buccaneers and Bears have gone to overtime. If that were to happen again Sunday, it would mark only the third time since overtime was instituted in 1974 that two teams have had three straight meetings go to overtime.
Going for five: New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees will be attempting to collect his fifth straight game with at least 350 passing yards. He would be breaking his own NFL record, which was set last week when his streak reached four games.

I have a Sony DSLR-300. I lost the separate battery charger and bought an AC adapter that plugs directly into the camera. When I plug it into the adapter a red light comes on for 1 second then shuts off. The camera turns on while plugged in but won't stay on when I unplug it after I've had it on charge for 30 minutes.

Our Head Office & Distribution Centre
Smart Distribution Services began operations in April 1999.
Based in Melbourne, with two directors who have a long history in property maintenance, Smart Distribution Services are proud to support and supply all Australian products.
We cater to our clients' need for non-hazardous, environmentally friendly graffiti removal and high cover graffiti products.
When Smart Distribution Services began we undertook extensive research and development with industrial chemical engineers and chemists.
Our flagship product SMART WIPE OUT was incredibly effective and through continued research is always being improved.
SMART WIPE OUT may be used on surfaces such as brick, mortar, blue stone, cement, concrete and asphalt whether painted or unpainted.
It may be used on outdoor park & gardens playground equipment.
In conjunction with the success of SMART WIPE OUT, six other graffiti removal products and coatings were engineered to tailor to more specific requirements.
These are:
To compliment our products, we offer a Graffiti Audit service, which makes a computerised record of all graffiti in a given area, which is a useful tool for local government, councils and other institutions.
Using these audits we can tailor a removal program to suit your requirements.
We train all our staff to Australian OH&S standards. We offer this training program to you which includes a safe handling course and usage of our chemicals and paints.
On completion of the course the trainee will receive a signed training certificate along with all Material Safety Data Sheets.
Our products are designed to be as simple to use as possible.
The top picture shows over five layers of graffiti which have been building up over the course of many years.
The second picture shows the start of the process, the application of SMART WIPE OUT to the surface with a paint roller.
Here we see the second part of the removal process.
After a period, during which the chemical acts, the wall is sprayed clean with a high pressure wash.
And here is the finished product - a total makeover.
The wall is returned to is original state.
(the blue rectangle was retained by request)
Chemical Manufacturing
Our manufacturing chemical plant,
based in Melbourne has the capacity of formulating

These superior paint products are used by local governments,
