****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
Hello uNL:
In times past, the uNL mods banded together and made a thread where questions could be asked of said moderators. And it's that time again.
So, we invite you to ask away and we will try to help in any way we can. Ask any poker related question here. General questions, theory questions, whatever; there are no dumb questions and we're here to answer. Also, feel free to ask any uNL forum related questions or 2p2 related questions. But remember, this isn't a "well" so we're not looking for personal questions asked of specific moderators.
Many times threads are locked for being too general or too whacky or too theoretical or a million other reasons. Well, here's a place to ask those burning questions. Between the 5 of us, we have a wealth of knowledge and experience playing all different levels. So go ahead and fire away.
As in the previous editions, the moderators will be the only people answering questions and this thread will be heavily moderated so don't get banned for being stupid.
Sincerely, the moderators:

Re: Get ur n00b out Volume 3
Playing 25nl and 50nl, at what rate is a decent winrate here in terms of ptbb/100??? and what should one who takes the game seriously, playing 10k hands per week at a 23/20/4.5 be achieving?
Anything over 0ptbb/100 is good, but it is a hard question to answer ... +10ptbb/100 is this superhero winrate that for the very best is sustainable, but without kidding, it isn't something to judge yourself by ... if you're doing +2ptbb then I'd personally would say you shouldn't be sad .. and if you're doing +5ptbb there is reason to be very satisfied. Also poker is a cruel mistress and statistics are uncertain, hot and cold runs of 20.000 hands are not uncommon and most that do large winrates move up and never really find out if they just where running hot usually.
Also if you like to play many tables it will dig into your winrate, tho not necesarry your hourly, whether this is a good idea is another debate altogether
All in all imo, just have fun and enjoy yourself, winrates usually take care of themselves if you play well.
I think 5ptbb is still the benchmark for successful players. If you are in that area at uNL, give or take a few fractions, you are doing fine. Once you are up in the 7-10 range, you are doing fantastically great. And tbh, 3-5 ptbb is OK in this poker climate. If you are less than 3ptbb, yes you are a winner; but you definitely can improve and do better when playing uNL--aj
Like Gelford said, as long as you're winning, it's very good. I personally think 8ptbb is achievable but anyone who wins at that rate should be moving up before they find out a longterm winrate. I'd focus on playing solid poker and constantly improving. As long as you're in a state of constant improvement, the winrate will come.

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
100bb stacks:
what's your default play against an unknown UTG raise with AJo?
Call 60% 3bet 40%, as I get closer to the button ill probably 3bet a little more and call a little less
I don't mind folding it from MP. Call or fold sometime from CO or the blinds. Call usually from OTB.--aj
AJo is not a hand that will show a lot of profit. I don't 3bet it preferring something like 78s tbh, but sometimes I might call with the intent of taking a stab on a flop I like with just two overs or ... if I hit ... usually take a passive call downesque stance, which really shows that AJo isn't an awesome hand.
Folding is fine
Calling an UTG's raise UTG+1 with AJ is just bleeding money slowly, because of the chances of getting squeezed. I also fold it from the blinds 100%. I'll call about half the time in the CO and all the OTB. Postflop, just play passively with one pair, you generally don't wanna get a lot of money in, and you can control the size of the pot easily IP.

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
At 10-25NL 6-max, against a vilan around 25/20, what's the usual pre-flop 3-bet calling (i mean, we raise, and get a pot or 3/4 pot re-raise) range with and without position?
Also, what range against same vilan to do a 3-bet with or without position?
EDIT: You get re-raised pre-flop, what are the hands you call to see a flop with position and what are the hands you call to see a flop without position on the guy.
2nd part is the inverse, hands which we 3-bet (specially with position)
depends on their ranges
Might want to re-phrase this, I do not understand what you are asking

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
what seperates great micro stakes players from good ones??
The great microstakes players have the confidence, consistency of play and the bankroll to move up to SSNL and are no longer uNL'ers.--aj
The great uNL players have been succesfull at higher stakes and have moved down due to roll issues, income inssues or just to have fun.
Seriously, there is no reason to not move up and instead try to become a 'great' uNL players, as the challenges are at higher stakes and that is where you develop.
The ability to get actual reads to help narrow a range versus using a HUD to get a read. Also a lot of what it will take to make a good uNL player great is an extender heater that will get him/her confident in their game and away from rake killing games.
Those who break out of microstakes the fastest do so because they are patient, mentally balanced and humble enough to learn from their mistakes. Thats why not many people make it

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
I've heard limping UTG with aces can be more profitable than raising... any merit to that?
Well, there's many different (profitable) ways to play this game. In the 100's of thousands of hands I've played in my career, I've never limped AA from UTG because their never seemed to be a good situation for it. I'll let you know if I run across one in the next few years, heh.
Seriously, limping AA would have to be done within an overall style of play for it to be any good. Meaning, the way you played other hands would need to be consistent with openlimping AA. And most uNL'ers are just learning the tried and true ways of ABC poker, which is when you have a good hand pre and it's unopened to you, raise it up like you got AA, which in this case you actually hold--aj
Maybe fullring with a few more limpers then an aggro BTN and boom you reraise, but theoretically in a shorthanded game, where aggression is king and you just pound pound pound on players with all sorts of hands, it is very hard to balance limping AA
Of course there will always be game conditions where this is the case in a vaccum, but in the real world you are just losing so much value by not raising aces, and making it so easy for everyone to outflop you, that it just cant ever be a winning play. given that you shouldnt really be limping in general anyway, just makes it more incorrect

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
Could you explain a little bit about range-merging and whether or not it is useful at uNL?
Could I explain? No, not really. Do I find it useful? No, not really. I mean, I might do it, whatever it is, over the course of sessions without naming it; but, I don't have much use for it tbh. --aj
It is based on the fact that there is uncertainty in this game, namely different opponent do different things, so statistically if there is a chance that some opponents will fold a better hands and some might call with a bluffcatcher on a board texture, on average you make the most profit by betting for bluff/value in the longrun.
This also works vs a single opponents how some of the time will call with a bluffcatcher and some of the time will fold a better hands (while at other times do the opposite)
If you can pinpoint your opponent to never fold a better hand or never call with worse, then you can't merge off course
Is it usefull at uNL .. that is up for debate
I know this is a bit of a muted answer, but its just a buzzword and means nothing to almost all players. Ive heard really good HSNL players call it rubbish, so its not some big secret key. As far as uNL goes, forget it, dont even waste a moment on it.

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
do you think it would be beneficial for one's game to grind micro's for a long time in order to iron out a lot of theoretical and emotional mistakes (emotional being: tilt/fps/focus problems), when the mistakes are cheap
or would you advocate to move up more quickly when beating the game for let's say >5ptbb over >20k hands even if the player is still making a lot of these mistakes? learning while progressing? (also since the games will change a lot while moving up)
don't want to get beeched is bru!
You should always remember that often your BR will grow much faster than your skill. However, in uNL its also important to move up to the 25 or 50nl level quick enough that rake will not pwnsauce you. When you are ready to move up, you will know. Do not let your bankroll be that judge. If you feel your skill set is ready for the next level, then so be it. If it is not, learn/read/ play more until it is
If you're uncomfortable playing with a small roll or just simply scared or at least scared money, then you definately should not move up, playing uNL for a while in order to get a better feel for the game and variance is fine. But playing uNL for ages in order to 'perfect' it, isn't admirable on the other hand, if you understand what I mean.

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
Thanks for this. I have a question related to the (edit: what was) above post on 3betting.
When defending against a light 3-bet, what are the merits between 4betting light, and flatting with a wider part of our range. I guess IP, flatting becomes superior as it makes the best use of our position (we can float a cbet on the flop for roughly the same amount as we would put in by 4betting). While OOP a light 4bet every now and then seems better. But recently I've been reading about people flatting with SCs, and check shoving any piece of the board. Should we be flatting some of our strongest hands (AA, KK etc) to balance our range a bit? And what hands should we call a 3bet (IP or OOP) if we're going to start calling a bit lighter. The worst of our good hands (like KQ, AJ) or the best of our bad hands (like 87s)?
Four betting will take it down or you will have to flip for rollz, so while fourbetting absolute trash is ok occasionally, usually hand that do well vs villians range are choosen, like 77 or AQ, while hands like SC do not welcome a pf flip, but they are ok to flat oop since villian is likely to cbet a very big part of his range and then you can either go nuts on boards that miss his range or on boards where you have a draw, since then in a RRs pots, you're basically are doing it for free and don't really mind a call, but the FE is your profit. Just note, that if you only fight back on boards where you have a piece, you might be bleeding money by making a pf call, so you need to fight other spots as well.
This is not of much use in uNL, since wide threebettors are not that common. Btw note if you play an exploititive game, then showing down a few bluffs in a row where you flat and fight against a villian that pays attention actually might make you flip your strategy and start flatting AA and other strong hands vs him, just too stay in shape. But this is a big subject

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
Would you advocate 4 betting light at 25nl against 22/20 regs?
Short answer no with a but, long answer yes, with an if. Worry about other parts of your game and not about the 1 or 2 light 3 bettors at 25 nl
A very important skill for a player to have is the discipline to fold a marginal hand to a 3b when it seems you are getting 3b preflop every other hand. So, instead of light 4betting, work on that skill. And that's not even a throwaway answer. Work on it because you need it in this climate.
When people are 3betting you all the time, they are the ones that have to be right in guessing that you are weak and have to fold. When they are wrong, you are the one that rakes in the profit. When you enter the realm of light 4betting all of a sudden the onus is on you to be right all the time and you are the one who takes it in the shorts when you are wrong. Light 4betting is will just lead you to Tagfish Central, down Swong Boulevard, over past the 0.5ptBB/100 Highway--aj

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
how to avoid fancy play syndrome?
Haha .. it is an ego thing, if you can't control it, then you might want to see a shrink or similar ... holla ! (semi joke, but with some truth in it)
Try to limit your FPS to value spots only, if you must do it. There you just gain or lose a little profit? FPS that involves multistreet bluffing with 4 high is a recipe for disaster.
It's mostly a function of ego. Just realize that most of the time, poker is won with ABC tactics and solid play. Sure you see all the sweet hands in MSNL and SSNL where people do something silly and win the pot, but that's because people don't post the other 18/20 times they fold in that spot.

What do you do with big cards (say KQo), suited connectors (say 78s), suited aces (say A4s), medium pairs (say 77) and small pairs (say 33)?
How does this change if the button who is 'stealing' is a 10/8 nit? a 20/15 TAG or a 30/20 LAG?
How does it change if the effective stack is 20BB, 50BB or 100BB?
How do you proceed on the flop when you're called? What are you looking for to cbet/not cbet?
If anyone has some good example hands I'd love to see them. I know this question is very general but someone must have some useful thoughts to help me get started re-working this part of my game.
sorry to hijack his post but i am interested in what the mods have to say on this subject
A 10/8 nit can have my blinds if he throws out a rare PFR. I'll play for set value with the pp's and fold the rest. A 20/15 is getting 3b from me from the blinds usually if I want to play a hand although I'll call some with the pp's. A LAG is getting the full arsenal of folds/calls/and 3b's.
A 20bb stack is getting jammed on if I want to play a hand. Often times too the 50 bb stack if I feel I am ahead of his raising range. If I have premium, he gets a normal 3b. 100 bb stacks get the above. And then your last set of Q's doesn't make sense when calling out of the blinds.
Don't be leary of being tight in the blinds. You don't have to expand there to be increase your success. Tight is right is an old cliche but it's truthful. I'll usually expand there when it's going to be 3 or 4 way to the flop and try to hit a Bingo hand with a connector; but generally HU OOP from the blinds is a win a little here, lose a little bit more there battle that's often left better unfought at uNL imo.
You're not missing out a lot of profit by folding pf when faced with the prospect of playing oop. It is a difficult task, where you need to be ready to get it in with slim edges blind, which can lead to bigger swings. It comes down to a matter of handreading, if you're good at it, then go ahead and go nuts, just remember that oop is a difficult place to be
The shorter stacks are, the more inclined are you to just flip sng style - note 20bb stacks have a tendency to shove ATC if you check it to them on flop

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
How do you generally react to someone playing an unconventional loose/aggressive manner? They seem to make bets according to where they 'feel' they are in a hand - this is generally a pain in the arse to play against, though there's plenty of money to be had.
This is uNL, so we assume that all players are bad, but tbh ... the above sounds like a good player and lots of money might actually not be had.
Perhaps villians is just a lagtard that overplayes his hands, but poker is a game of handreading (putting people on ranges) and if you read well, then you can play more hands making you look loose and dumb, but in reallity good loose players just outplay their opponents.
But that being said, as a generel rule, you just need to lower your standards and gamble it up with less than tptk+

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
How would you say is the best way in which to get better at handreading??? Are there any articles on it? or is the best way just to go through and try and guess peoples hands as you are playing???
If you have Pokertracker, you can replay hands in their replayer hiding villains cards. Then based upon the action, try to put them on a range of hands and then expose their cards to see how you did. Works best with older sessions so you don't remember the particulars of hands played.--aj
I also feel many players 3 bet a lot from the blinds from BTN opens. But not enough people 3 bet on the button to CO raises. Should you be 3betting more from the button because you have position, or should you be 3 betting more from blinds because their button range is wider?
Also on the button, what hands would you 3 bet a:
a) Solid regular
b) Loose Passive Fish
c) Tight Nit
d) Maniac Donkey
This is my last reply for today (monday) but here is the deal
You opponent has a range attached to each of his actions, so you job is to get a feel what parts of his ranges he does what with. There is the recent Baluga post where he points out the know fact, that if a villian is just calling flop, then turn, then a river bet might well be in order, because he is calling with just a wide part of his range and might have 2nd pair or a draw or TPNK or ... so unlike what we call in Baluga theorem situations, going broke with TPTK is actually good.
Now if he raises turn, then his range (not everyones range), but manys ranges will be very tight and caution is called for.
So all in all it is a question of what they do when, which leads us to your question about 3betting ... tbh, the main factor is not how tight/loose they are pf, but how they will play after your 3bet .. if the nit fold all but AA/KK, but opens 12% then you can profitably 3bet ATC. If you opponent will always call but play fit/fold post flop, then you can 3bet a very wide range and let the cbet do its magic. Some opponents like to 4bet like crazy or call and shove anyflop or other shenigans ... it depends, but you really need to stop thinking in boxes like donkey, nit, turd and start thinking
1. What are his pf tendencies
2 What are his postflop tendencies
What does that mean to me ... ???
Oh and may I recommend poker stove and either poker razor or stox combo

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
I made a post like this in the brew, but because I don't post in there often or read it, I guess I misunderstood the purpose of that thread. I'll repost it here.
I'm a winning lag player over about a 30k sample size at 25NL averaging about 8.5bb/100 (I have the "Treat 'BB' For NL/PL as Big Blind Amt." unchecked in pt, if it is checked it is around 16bb, I'm kind of PT retarded so I don't understand this so well, i assume 8 is closer to my true WR obv). Anyway, I'm moving up in stakes to 50nl and noticed the deep tables. Traditionally I have kept a bankroll of 30bi. So for this level $1500. How much risk am I assuming if I play mostly deep tables (200bb) on the same $1500 roll.
Should I play on a 3k roll for the deep tables? I'm kind of unsure about how the play is here. If I'm opening myself up to much more variance. My small encounters at APs deepstacked tables showed me that you will play short stacks and bad deepstacked regulars but I'd still appreciate you guys to weigh in. Thanks a bunch.
Statistically it is a function of WR and SD .. in other words I have no idea as such and not really interested in doing any work to find out
(I suspect your SD is larger on those tables making swings bigger)
Well, I too don't know the math; but, I would say intuitively that you need a bigger roll to play the deep tables. Just chiming in to mention that playing with a 100bb stack at the deep tables is fine and I do it all the time at FTP. The bad deepstacks are still going to play bad for you and the shorties aren't going to be as short as they are on a normal table. Win/win--aj

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
When is open minraising or 2.5x-ing the BTN optimal w/ 100+ effective stacks?
I haven't done 2.5x. But, I will do 3x when my normal PFR is 4x. The theory behind it is you do it when there is a high possibility of getting 3b from the blinds. It allows you to fold and lose less on your steal attempt with, imo, a real similar steal success as with your normal pfr size. Also, it allows you to call a 3b and play a pot in position that's not as relatively huge as a normal 3b pot (when they 3b to like 8x instead of a more normal 12x+)--aj
I minraise or 2.5x OTB on two occasions. One, and most often, when there are shortstacks in the blinds. Usually professional shortstacks, but just anyone with 20bb or less when it hinders the ability to play postflop.
The second situation in which I'll raise small is when there are two nitty players (like 15/12 types) in the blinds that will generally just play robotically and will either 3bet or fold. Raising small allows me to defend 3bets more often (I generally still don't defend too much), and it also allows me to steal cheaper. They're pretty much never gonna just call and when they do, it's gonna be with a really weak hand that you can almost assuredly barrel them off of.

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
i get tired of playing pf roulette with 3bet monkey spazmos that are continually pushing envelope and playing for stacks pretty light. while i feel that i have an edge over most of these guys, since their ranges are typically wide enough that i can exploit them by opening tigher, bluffing at a higher frequency, and stacking lighter, the variance is soul crushing. do you think that its better to play their retarded pissing games if you can do so with an edge, or do you think its better just to hop tables until you have more passive players behind you? it gets harder to avoid them as you move up.
I've been in that boat before. I don't have an ego about it. When I get in the pissing contests my tilt probability increases, so I avoid them. I table hop until I find tables where I can play in my comfort zone (the game I'm most comfortable playing). I change tables constantly tbh. *shrug*
I had originally intended a long answer, but I'll just keep it short. Noone is forcing you to 3bet a lot. This is a mechanic used to exploit people who fold too much pf or play fit or fold on the flop. Just calling especially IP and playing poker is perfectly fine. I personally play with a small 3betting range.
Also now that you have established a pissing contest with villian, you might want to stop felting light vs him for a while and see if he catches up or just continues to stack of light vs you

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
How can I stop being weak tight? Raise my flush draws more often?
Is cbetting 100% of the time in heads up pots too much? Any thoughts on how often I should be firing the second barrel? At 25 NL I had great success firing the second barrel most of the time. At 50 NL I haven't had much success and I am now probably not firing it enough.
stop being weak tight? You're just going to have to evolve out of it slowly. Post hands, post advice, go over your sessions, play alot, stop seeing monsters under every rock.
No, CB'ing 100% is def not std. You can do it but it's probably not wise. Something in the 80%'s is probably optimal. When you have a feel for your opponent in a HU pot, you can just give up sometimes and not sweat it. Don't try to put a square peg in a round hole. If a guy folds 20% to CB's, don't rack your brain about him calling all your cb's. Just take him to value town when you got the goods. (someone else will have to tacklt the 2nd barrel % question, cuz I don't know)
Being weaktight is essentially either putting villians on too tight ranges or more likely overvalueing how often their ranges connect with boards. - Work with trying to figure out what parts of their range they do what with and then use poker stove and poker razor to evaluate how often they hit and what is your equity

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
One thing that isn't really a huge part of my thinking right now is game selection, which is unfortunate. After reading Fees, I got a general idea of how to game select optimally, but I have trouble applying it specifically.
Do you guys have any advice for game selecting at uNL? How will it affect your game in the long run?
Thanks for doing this!
I would suggest reading pokeys post on table selection. Generally speaking i try to find tables with high average pots and high VPIP, and then look for people I have on my buddy list. This can significantly increase your winrate
Game selection is HUGE. I color code players on FTP according to whether or not I want to play with them (red=avoid, blue=play all day, for example). That has been a good help for me when looking thru the lobby. I too look for High VPIP and avg pots. I avoid tables with more than one shortstack. And if I like a table, but don't like the seat that's open, I move on. I also don't sit at a table forever once I sit. I'm constantly looking at my 6 tables that I'm playing and if I have a klunker in there, I'm getting up and sitting at another. Also, use the waiting lists alot if you don't already. Get on them to start the day. Get on them while you are playing.--aj
It depends on what your goal is, if you just want to make the most money at the level you're playing at, then game selection is king, if you're looking to improve, then I wouldn't worry too much. This is uNL and games are never going to be truly tough.

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
how do I reduce the amount I spew on bad bluffs without decreasing my winnings from good ones?
unpossible. you take the wheat with the chaff. you'll hit some, you'll miss some. the more experience you have, hopefully the percentage of good bluffs slides slightly more and more in your favor. but, you're always going to miss when you bluff a decent amount.--aj

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
After like 20k hands over my first month returning to the game, I feel like people are really adjusting. What am I do to if my pf raises are being called by everyone? I lose my position on so many hands, and it becomes impossible to outplay opponents.
Also, I have tried to open myself up from a 20/15 to a 26/21 type player in the last few weeks. I went from 8 ptbb/100 after 16k hands, to 4 ptbb/100 after 18k-19k hands. I essentially dropped 10 bi's..twice in the matter of a week (first time I got it all back). Is this kind of variance a product of my attempts to open my game up, adjustment from opponents (as stated above); basically, is that kind of a swing completely standard, or am I probably spewing? I know I'm running horribly, but I know I've also donked off 3-4 bi's during this prolonged downswing.
Sounds like you are sitting at great tables if people are constantly calling your PFR's. Tighten up in EP and enter with premiums. Take 'em to ValueTown when you got the goods. I mean, what do you want them to do with their Q9 pf? Fold it? That's where you make most your profits. Bad players, loose preflop, playing bad cards.
Why do you want to become a 26/21? Don't fall in love with numbers. Don't open up just for the sake of opening up. Not many people can pull off the laggier numbers. When you get to SSNL and see 2p2'ers at the table, you'll find a ton more 18/15's than you will find 26/21's. Same thing when you look at winners lists. Same thing when you get to high stakes.
Swings are swingier the laggier you play. Variance happens when you are playing your normal game and go up and down off of that baseline. Sounds like you were playing a different game then you were used to and experienced some swings combined probably with bad play.

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
Why does thac have to post in unreadable-yellow? Did he draw the short straw or do you mods just think his advice isn't actually worth reading?
At what point in a poker player's career is it worth the money to:
1. Buy a subscription to DC or CR?
2. Pay for a few lessons from a coach?
What is/are the best new poker book(s) that have come out in the last six months, and why?
These days, how do online play and live play line up in terms of stakes? (In other words, $25NL online plays about the same as ???NL live, etc.)
Boxers or briefs?
If you buy a FT bonus with medals is it an instabonus or do you have to clear it? Does getting the bonus hurt your RB?
Is there a free all-in luck-o-meter that works with PT3 databases?
Thac uses a 2p2 theme where the yellow shows up well for him. It probably doesn't show up well for most and he said, if he ever posts in this thread again, WHERE IS HE?, he said he'll use a different color.
Coaching is pretty lol for most imo. Alot of coaches are in it to make some change. Get some friends, talk on AIM imo, fully utilize 2p2. Subscription sites can be an entertainment expense I suppose. Watch a vid here and there, get a different perspective. I would say you can do the vid subscription anytime in your career. Coaching when you are already versed in SSNL ways and want to make the move onto greatness (and higher stakes). Books: I've gotten about 3 poker books in the last year, read none of them, so IDK. I don't play live so idk. boxer's/briefs: this is not a well to ask mod's personal questions; don't make me infract you,
FT bonuses bought with medals are worked off like a regular bonus by playing hands. And it is deducted from MGR. And I use Hold 'em Manager now and have stopped using PT so you'll have to ask someone else about that all-in crutch thingy--aj
I fixed my color just for you Pokey.
Regarding a coaching site, I'd say it's worth the money when you get to 25nl. It'll save you or earn you a buyin per month at least, and as soon as you earn an extra buyin, that month is paid for. Regarding actual coaching, I'd wait until you hit a brick wall and can't move any higher. Like AJ said, a lot of people are just in it for the $$$ and you won't really get a whole lot out of it, maybe a few ideas you never thought of, but you can get the same thing by having friends that play a level or two higher than you and it won't cost anything.
New best poker book would have to be Elements of Poker. The mental part of it is just stunning and he explains everything so well with regards to quitting games when you're playing bad and always staying in the right mindset. Also I feel as though most poker books that teach you actual poker content are generally more suited towards a live full-ring game, but the mental part of EoP is just outstanding.
Can't answer the live -> online question as I've never really played live.
Definitely boxers, gotta get that airflow.
The FTP bonus I think you have to release by playing.
Don't worry about luck, it's just something you can blame bad results on and hinders your ability to focus on improvement and playing well.
In no particular order
Boxers for sure
Good books are rarely published, but Tommys book is one of the better
Doesn't PT3 have buildt in luck-o-meter ???? (I use HEM)
thac nailed the coaching thing

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
wut stuff should i know regarding my trip to vegas next week with pjo, wade, bevil, and possibly jony?
this includes playin live which i plan on doing as well as the other fun stuff vegas has to offer
I think 42it and I are the only ones with experience here, IDK if 42it will even see this thread. Anyway, just be prepared for the excess heat, get the numbers of a lot of 2p2ers, be prepared to have fun and be flexible. Dont spend all your time there grinding, its just not enjoyable. The casinos offer free drinks to those that are gambling, thats always a benefit. If you are gonna be a like a craps table or Blackjack table for a while, tip her well and tell her to keep them coming. The strip clubs are nice experience for one night, just even to hang out. If you plan on going to any club try to find a fair amount of people going with you to make it worthwhile and reasonable to get bottle service. Stick with me kid and youll be fine
all i can tell you is that bally's is FULL of fish. might have just been a one time thing but the games there were just sick.

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
I'm getting killed in non-showdown pots. Basically I'm not very good at hand reading. Basic scenario goes like this. I have AK in the CO. I raise PF, get called by a blind. Flop comes T62r. I c-bet and get c'rd. Sometimes I call, sometimes I fold. I
very rarely
3bet with "air", aka overcards. Here is an example of what I'm talking about
Powered By DeucesCracked.com
Hero (CO): $35.45
Pre Flop:
Hero is CO with K
UTG raises to $0.85
Hero raises to $2.90
3 folds
, UTG calls $2.05
($6.15) 4
(2 players)
UTG checks,
Hero bets $4
UTG raises to $18.15
Now multiply the above hand by like 1000 and that's what my month of june has been like. A whole lot of folding.
So my questions is: How do you identify when someone is playing back at you vs someone having a hand? Are you just going by stats like flop agg? Also, any other advice about how to win in non-showdown pots would be appreciated.
Your opening paragraph and your hand example are two completely different scenarios. The first is a normal PFR'd pot and the second is 3b pot. These are different things and need to be treated completely differently.
So my questions is: How do you identify when someone is playing back at you vs someone having a hand?
Look, the eternal question of poker is that Hero has a marginal made hand and gets played back at, what does Hero do? You just can't answer that. In the other scenarios, if you have a big made hand, you click it right back to him and put some more money in the middle. When you have air and get played back at, you fold.
I think alot of times you guys have real selective memory ie. I'm getting played back at. I'm getting 3b all the time light. Poker can be real simple if you make it simple and are disciplined enough to keep it simple. I've played an easy game for a long, long time and supported myself with poker winnings. I enter with a good hand. When I make a big hand, I play it hard and fast. When I make a mediocre hand, I try to get to showdown. When I got nothing, I don't put much money in the middle. I try to find a few situations, without going overboard, during a session to "outplay" my opponents with one-shot moves. Otherwise, it's old, it's true, it works: ABC wins the monies.--aj

Re: ****Get ur n00b out Volume 3 ****
assume you're headsup on the river with about a 1.5x psb left in the effective stack when the action is on you.
you also have a stone-cold read on your opponent that he's sitting on exactly one pair, and that one pair has you beaten. He's also not a complete calling station fish, but he's no Phil Ivey either.
what specific factors go into the bluff/don't bluff decision, and how do you weight them?
The most important thing is can Hero rep a legit hand given the betting action. Next would be has Hero been showing down winners and not caught in a bluff during the session or in the near history of orbits. But, at uNL trying to make people fold a better hand is a losing proposition so I wouldn't be doing it too often.--aj
aj's right there. You have to ask yourself - what does he have, what can i have, have i represented a better hand effectively, and will he fold his pair given all the above. usually at uNL the answer is.... no.
What is your range and what are you repping ... and have you seen him call down before, which just terminates the deal. It is a very difficult move, you need that weaktight 2+2 uNL that is very into big hand big pot small hand small pot to pull it of and you will have to shove the river is my guess.

If you are
looking for a good international prepaid phone card that is value for money and
very easy to use, you should consider purchasing Nobel phone cards.
There are
several benefits to be gained if you choose to get one of their prepaid
phone cards.
A Little Bit About Nobel
The company
was founded by Thomas Knobel in 1998 and it has worked very hard to become the
market leader in the area of global telecommunications. There are many branches within the company
and they deal with different aspects of telecommunication. They have a lot of experience within the
world of online prepaid phone card services and have created a simple,
straightforward and efficient way for people to purchase their international
prepaid phone cards online.
Reasons To Choose Nobel Phone Cards
If you are
looking for ways to cut down on your monthly home telephone bills you need to
look at the type of telephone calls you make.
Certain phone providers can offer very good and competitive deals but
the majority of people tend to forget that the telephone industry is big
business and that there is a possibility of getting a much better range of
services and offers if you are willing to do a little research to compare and
contrast prices.
The beauty
of using Nobel phone cards is that you will be offered great telephone rates
when you make long distance or overseas calls. If you know that these types of
calls make up the majority of your phone usage, it is definitely worth taking a
look at what they offer to see if you can make some financial savings.
A Rechargeable Phone Card Service Available
Nobel offer
you the opportunity to not only use a cheaper prepaid tariff but you can also
top up your account whenever you need to.
This can be done by going online, entering your ID details and adding
funds to your card by using a credit card. It is all very straightforward and
convenient. However if you do have any
problems you will find that there is online customer support available to help
you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Nobel phone
cards originated from a small company and they have now become an
internationally renowned business so it is definitely worth taking a lot at
what they offer. There are lots of
international prepaid international phone card companies to choose from so you
need to look at where you want to make your savings. If you know that you make the majority of
your long distance telephone calls to one country in particular, it would be a
good idea to look for prepaid call cards that deal specifically with that
country. This could work out to be incredibly
cheaper to make your phone calls in the future.
Whether you
opt for Nobel prepaid phone cards or not, always compare and contrast all
offers so that you can make the best choice for you.

The Sri Lankan military is denying a British newspaper report that says more than 20,000 civilians were killed in the final push against Tamil Tiger rebels.
The Times says Friday an independent investigation found most of the civilians were killed by government forces. The newspaper says it arrived at the death toll after reviewing aerial photographs, official documents, witness accounts and expert testimony.
Sri Lankan officials said The Times death toll is inaccurate. The government has blamed rebels for civilian deaths.
U.N. officials have estimated at least 7,000 civilians were killed in the bloody final assault, which ended a 25-year civil war this month.
The United Nations Human Rights Council on Wednesday rejected calls for a war crimes investigation. It praised the Sri Lankan government for liberating hundreds of thousands of civilians and accused Tamil rebels of using civilians as human shields.
The Tamil Tiger rebels began their fight for a separate homeland for the ethnic Tamil minority in 1983. The U.N. estimates that as many as 100,000 people died in the more than two decades of conflict.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP.

Purpose Overcrowded cities in developing countries present challenging environments for health, where zoonoses and food safety are difficult to control. Whilst animal source foods (ASF) have a well-recognized role in nutrition of vulnerable populations, their availability, safety and quality are often compromised, and nutrition outcomes are rarely considered in livestock studies. We developed and tested a framework to study the association between consumers' access to and use of different ASF and livestock value chains, and poor nutritional status, to inform decisions on interventions and policies. Methods This multidisciplinary study combined quantitative and qualitative methodologies to address unexplored linkages between value chain and nutrition. 205 households and 222 retailers in two Nairobi slums were surveyed to 1) measure consumption and undernutrition; 2) examine ASF role in adequate diets using linear programming; and 3) investigate value chain links with nutrition. For each ASF, consumption patterns, acceptability factors of products and retailers, demand variation with price and availability (expansion potential of value chain) were combined to provide a holistic picture and identify target chains. Results and conclusions 74% of the children and 26% of the women were anaemic, and had low intakes of several micronutrients. Linear programing analysis indicated that food-based interventions could ensure women's dietary adequacy for women, for all of these nutrients except iron, as long as intakes of milk and other ASF could be increased from median intakes. Milk was the most consumed ASF (98.5% of the households, 5.5 times/wk). Demand for beef was least sensitive to changes in its price and its supply chain had limited expansion potential. Demand for chicken was more responsive to price changes while its supply chains could be expanded quickly. Consumption was often based on 'taste' and 'nutrition', indicating a potential role for nutrition education. Relevance Nutrition sensitive agriculture being key to fight malnutrition, we will show the importance of the value chain approach to assess feasibility and upscaling of safe ASF food system-based interventions.

Police have received the green light to explore adding red light cameras at as many as 25 intersections over time.
"The police department didn't drive this program, but now that it is here, it has proven to be effective in reducing accidents," said Police Chief Daniel Oates. "We think there's a value to taking the program to the next step."
City records show the injury-accident rate dropped by 60 percent at one location from 2005 to 2006.
However, rear-end accidents skyrocketed at three intersections, including Mississippi and Potomac (up 175 percent) and Alameda and Abilene (up 100 percent), from 2005 to 2006.
Critics say that red light camera enforcement is being abused by cities to "shake down" drivers for revenue. Aurora is among 334 cities and towns nationwide using red light cameras.
So exactly how has this program been effective when it has increased rear end accidents? The city can find one intersection where accidents were reduced (probably due to an external factor and not due to these cameras), and can find 3 where accidents increased. The only thing these have accomplished is generating more revenue for the city. This is a total shakedown. The majority of evidence shows that cameras have little effect on traffic safety and one prominent study shows an increase in accidents at intersections that have red light cameras. Several cities have been caught intentionally making the intersections less safe by reducing yellow light time as a way of increasing revenue. I don't know if Aurora has been guilty of this, but it probably only a matter of time. They will not want to see increased compliance as that would mean a loss of revenue.

Daughter-in-law has the shower curtain, which she loves, and thought I'd get the hand towel to go with it. Didn't give it to her. The photo shows the entire towel, not what it looks like folded. When folded you only see some of the "splatters" on the bottom. If you turn it around the zebra's head is upside down. The way it's currently being produced, it isn't a suitable image for a hand towel.

This is the female Siberian Tiger that resides at the Cleveland Zoo. I used my own photos for reference and pieced her together like a true Frankenstein. You know how it is.. this pose is great but that expression is better but the color on that one is outstanding... it was fun. Presently in a private collection.
05-19-17: Due to the injury of my index finger I can no longer work the hours I used to so I'm working on very short timelines. What that means is that it's going to take me a lot longer to get anything done. You never realize how important a thing like a finger is until you damage it!!! Bear with me, I will post anything new as I finish them. Also, I would like to let all the groups that I belong to know that I'm trying to catch up on everything - considering I lost about a year in total where I really couldn't do much. Sorry for the influx. 07-07-16: Will be absent again due to a torn tendon in my right hand (index finger). Will be gone for at least 8 weeks 04-09-16: I just want to let every one know that I will probably be absent...

Choosing a major in college can be stressful. Having to make that one decision that defines your next four years and future career is overwhelming! However, the decision to major in public relations is one I will never regret.
As a freshman at Auburn University, I had never heard of public relations. I only knew what I was good at… writing, editing, event planning, and all things social! My college career began in marketing (not creative enough) and then interior design (too creative). My advisor finally suggested public relations, and I couldn't be more thankful for that guidance.
While there are several required courses, the public relations major gives a variety of classes and elective to choose from. For example, I am able to take a Business Marketing class as well as a Writing for Television and Film class! Some of the required public relations courses include Journalism Fundamentals, Multimedia Writing for PR, Case Studies, PR Research and Style & Design.
The coursework at Auburn University made me a better writer, stronger communicator, and a more effective event-planner. Through projects and presentations, I have learned how to work in a group setting and become comfortable speaking in front of an audience. Many classes have real-world clients involved, where you have the opportunity to conduct research or develop a campaign from start to finish for them. This class experience has given me great confidence in my public relations abilities, whether I'm in an internship or office position.
Auburn University requires every PR major to complete an internship before graduating. This requirement makes you more attractive to companies and helps broaden your horizons before a job search. The internship program must also prove that it actively strengthens a student's PR skills. Therefore, the day to day intern work isn't the typical coffee run and office work! Instead, PR students can learn and contribute to the workings of the organization.
The internship opportunities are truly endless, as every company needs an intermediary between the organization and its audience. It can be helpful to network with clients and begin building those relationships early. Internships can also help you to discover more about your interests. Through my own summer internship at a creative agency, I had the opportunity to work with multiple clients on event planning, press releases, websites, graphic design, and so much more. It helped me realize just how much I loved working with social media and digital content strategy!
One of the best things about the public relations major are the endless job opportunities available. Public relations is a versatile major, with skills that benefit in a variety of industries. Entertainment, athletics, fashion, healthcare, politics and non-profit organizations all utilize PR practitioners. A career in PR definitely doesn't put you in a box!
Public relations is for the creative, the entrepreneur, the leader, the innovator, the writer, the communicator, the social media savvy, the designer, the problem-solver, the analyst, the researcher, the curious, and the driven.
Many public relations graduates choose to work with either a firm (such as an advertising agency) or go into corporate or "in-house," which is investing in one client over time. Both avenues of work have their own pros and cons, and I'm still not 100% certain which course I will take in the future.
Public relations practitioners can easily become event planners, media relations experts, marketers or social media managers. Any job that requires strong writing skills and relationship-building would fit perfectly. From an advertising agency to a Fortune 500 company, your PR major is what you make of it!

Is one of our problems today that when we talk of Growth – we get Cancer – a type of growth that feeds on the host rather than allows the host to grow?
Here Stuart shows us the difference and how to set up the pathway for "True" Growth. He sets us up to see that the ideal conditions for True Growth is a balance of values – that an over focus on one value leads to the Cancer type.
It is the environment that affects the kind of growth we have. For most things that means an optimal physical environment. But for humans it means an optimal Cultural environment.
Let's see the difference.
An acorn, in its ideal environment, will grow into not only a tree but over time into a huge forest that offers a home for a huge ecosystem. Inside this system is a vast network of intangibles and unseen connections. As the system grows it get more complex and the intangibles interact in ever more complex ways. As a real growth happens, the "effort" is less and less and the ROI gets higher.
But we as humans tend to think that we can ignore the environment and use force and physical leverage to get nature to work harder for us. For a while this works but then it fails.
So in farming we strip out nearly element and add ever more outside energy. There is a huge early return but over time the ROI goes down. Finally there is collapse. We choose not to work with nature and so make our work hard and in the end futile.
In organizations the model is the same as it is for farming and in the end so are the results. We tend to try and use force and physical leverage to get results.
This leads to a type of Cancer Growth that destroys the host. This POV is a values construct. It is not because we are stupid or evil. We have been captured by a meme of dominance and of "Winning" – the word "Win" will mean more to you as we reveal more of the patterns that make up culture.
If we can see the natural model for growth as a starting point, then we can then move onto seeing how we can make it easier to use this better way. This will imply a balance between the 3 main sets of values that make up the system of human values.
In the next video we will introduce you to the whole picture/map.

Nigeria and Senegal played an entertaining 1 – 1 draw at the Hive Stadium in London in an international friendly game.
Victor Moses and Carl Ikeme missed the match through injury while Liverpool's Saido Mane started on the bench for the Teranga Lions. Senegal were the better side in the first half with Idrissa Gueye 'bossing' the midfield until the introduction of John Ogu in the place of Ogenyi Onazi who was injured mid-way first half.
Senegal took the lead in the second half through Moussa Sow but the Super Eagles equalized through Kelechi Iheanacho who scored a penalty with 10 minutes left to play.
Nigeria's next game will also be played at the Hive against Burkina Faso.

"What Do I Deserve" in this world? This is a question that I've been keeping my head busy with for a long time and hasn't left it without finding an answer. I've been thinking about this recently and have been trying to find answers to it. Actually the answer to this question is quite simple but at the same time also hard. Why simple? Or why hard? Because the answer is "everything" and I cannot own/have everything. Why would I even ask for something like that?
There's a lot of people in this world, and if all these people don't want "everything" they at least want "most of the things". This question has also a simple answer because I deserve this. Because me and you, we are valuable. Because we deserve; seeing places that garnish our dreams, hearing what we want to hear, eating what we want to eat, scenting what we want to scent and doing whatever comes to our mind. I can't tell that we didn't come to this world to have fun, but I can tell that we didn't come here to feel pain…and I'm sure on that. So what is the answer? Why aren't we living the way we want to? Or is someone able or if it isnt able to live like that?
Is it the thing that we werent owning? What goes through our mind? Could it be money?
That time these things are messing with my mind. Do people have to love money? Or do they have to hate it? In conclusion I can say that if I hate money, the hate is because I don't have it. Or if I love money it's because I have money. From this comes a conclusion: the questions "how do I have money?" and "how do I get what I deserve?" are equal questions. And this questioning causes that the most unvaluable thing in this world becomes valuable.
@Anila has translated my another old blog post "Neyi Hak Ediyorum?". I really appreciate her for this gift.

I have 9 weeks to go until my "guess date," but I will be full term in 6 weeks. It's hard to believe that she could actually be arriving in 6 weeks. WOW. Everything isn't ready for her, but I am. I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable these days. I am still sleeping, but I toss and turn all night from my left to my right side. I snore like a bear as well. (Or so Rob claims.) I get up quite a bit in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. My bladder feels like it's about the size of a pea right now. My heartburn is back with a vengeance regardless of whether I eat small and frequent meals, steer clear of spicy foods, or all those other things they tell you to do to avoid it. I drank a glass of water the other day and got heartburn. How is that even possible? My favorite "new" pregnancy side effect however is that my boobs now touch my stomach. Yep, you read that right. If I don't have a bra on, MY BOOBS LAY ON MY STOMACH. (That one is not in the What to Expect When You're Expecting book, ladies, but it happens.) It grosses me out more than I can tell you, so I try and keep a bra on at all times, which isn't really my idea of a good time either. Pregnancy is full of tough choices and the "let my boobs touch my stomach or wear a bra 24/7" decision is a real doozy. Sacrifices must be made.
And here's the email for week 31...
How Your Baby is Growing:
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.
Really? Four navel oranges? That's the best they could come up with? I think it's totally cheating that they are throwing multiple vegetables into the pool now. I want to see some crazy hybrid cantaloupe/watermelon picture. It's the least they can do really.
And here is a belly pic that was taken a couple days ago. Okay, so I'm not officially 31 weeks here, but pretty darn close.
Have a happy week,

I was hoping you all would get a laugh out of my goofy demolition story. The saga of the deck just continues. Here is part two of "the project."
So, my daughter and I went to City hall and applied for the building permit. The chief inspector was there. He shook our hands. Took a very long look at each of us, and repeated our names a couple of times - as if preparing himself to be able to recognize our obituaries in the newspaper after we dug the postholes. He almost had a look on his face of "You poor fools. You have no idea what's in store for you!" But he kept his comment to himself.
Once I picked up the auger, I realized that in spite of her can do/never say die attitude, there was no way my tiny little daughter and I were going to be able to handle that auger. So, I prepped the holes - dug all six of them about 18 inches to 2 feet deep. All my son-in-law and I had to do was to plop the auger in the hole and dig down another 18 to 24 inches. Piece of cake! Right?!?
...or not. We got the auger started and it dug like crazy. It pulled itself into the earth like there was no tomorrow. Then we tried to lift it out. Uh, I said LIFT. Um, no go. I said, LIFT!!! Nothing happened. The auger had dug itself into the earth, and it seemed like there was little or no chance of our freeing it from its self-dug grave. But the devilish thing cost me $90 to rent, and I knew I had to get it back to the rental store. So, my son-in-law got out a tiny plastic trowel, and we took turns reaching into the hole and digging out what seemed like tiny spoonfuls of dirt. We eventually got down to the auger blade, and once we did, it was somewhat easier to pull it out of the hole. When we got it fully extracted, with its extension still on it, I realized that the handlebars were nearly up to my armpits.
By this point, both my son-in-law and I were tired, but we rested up and got ready to take a stab at digging posthole #2. Then the digger wouldn't start. We pulled. We adjusted the choke. We pulled and pulled again. Nada! Zip. Not even a burp out of the stupid machine. By this point, my arms were already aching and my son-in-laws back was, too. We agreed we'll try a smaller machine and dig down from there to the official 42" frost level. So, tomorrow is another day. Maybe we'll get this deck built. Miniatures are looking better and better every moment as we go further into the holes!!!

Archbishop Tenison's
"Welcome! It is my privilege to be the chair of governors of Archbishop Tenison's Church of England High School where we aim to achieve academic excellence for each person as part of a Christian community. I am proud to be able to say that the school has a truly distinctive Christian ethos which permeates through everything we do as a school community. We are also fortunate to have a highly committed and capable staff team along with warm support from our families and local churches."
The Governing Board is appointed in line with the Department for Education guidance for school governing boards to oversee the management of the school, and to set in place the framework for its effective operation. The Governors help to bring perspectives from ordinary life and work with the staff, the Local Authority and the Church of England to seek to secure the best possible education for the children in the school.
The Governors are a group of committed local people representing the Church of England, the Local Authority, the staff (teaching and non-teaching) and the school's parents. The main governing Board is led by an elected Chair of Governors and meets termly. To fulfil the strategic role of the Governors; Governor Committees meet regularly to monitor, challenge and evaluate progress towards achievement of the aims and policies of the school and regularly review the framework for the school in the light of that progress.
The Full Governing Board and its committees keep under regular review progress with the seven themes of the School Development Plan (see this report).
Ensure that the school's Christian tradition and Christian ethos are at the centre of all that the school does.
Help to set out the school's vision and strategic aims and agree plans and policies to realise these.
Monitor and evaluate performance and act as a critical friend to the head teacher to support and challenge him in managing the school;
Participate in the appointment of senior staff, including the head teacher, and regulate staff conduct and discipline;
Ensure that the school is accountable to the children and parents it serves, to the Church of England (through the Diocese of Southwark), to the Local Authority, the Department for Education and to the staff it employs.
Promote high standards of educational achievement.
Set targets for pupil attainment and attendance.
Take general responsibility for the conduct of the school.
Manage the school's budget including decisions on staff numbers and pay.
Ensure that the curriculum is balanced and broadly based (in particular that the school focuses on the National Curriculum and Religious Education) and reporting on pupil achievement in National Curriculum assessments and examinations.
Guide and monitor the school through three main committees: Ethos & Pastoral Care
Curriculum Teaching & Learning (CTL) and Staff, Finance & Premises (SFP). The minutes of these committees are publically available.
EPC - is responsible for the pastoral care of pupils, internal and external communications, public relations and promotion of the school;
CTL - is responsible for helping to monitor and set policy for all matters connected with the curriculum and the specialist status of the school (i.e., Archbishop Tenison's as a maths and computing specialist school) as well as all matters concerning the policy and practice of teaching and learning.
SFP - is responsible for all matters relating to staff appointments their welfare and development. As well as all matters relating to the school premises and finance.

ARC Review: Phoenix by Elizabeth Richards
Goodreads summary:
Weeks after his crucifixion and rebirth as Phoenix, Ash Fisher believes his troubles are far behind him. He and Natalie are engaged and life seems good. But his happiness is short-lived when he receives a threatening visit from Purian Rose, who gives Ash an ultimatum: vote in favor of Rose's Law permanently relegating Darklings to the wrong side of the wall or Natalie will be killed.
The decision seems obvious to Ash; he must save Natalie. But when Ash learns about The Tenth, a new and deadly concentration camp where the Darklings would be sent, the choice doesn't seem so simple. Unable to ignore his conscience, Ash votes against Rose's Law, signing Natalie's death warrant and putting a troubled nation back into the throes of bloody battle.
My review:
While I enjoyed the first book in this series, Black City, I still had some issues with it - specifically, the insta-love. I still didn't care for the romance in Phoenix, but this sequel makes up for it with plenty of action, some amazing twists, and lots more world-building.
I'm impressed with the way Elizabeth Richards has written the villain, Purian Rose. He's so twisted and will stop at nothing to get rid of Ash and Natalie. He's a deliciously creepy villain. And I love the way Richards holds nothing back - Natalie and Ash both suffer a lot in this sequel. They lose people who are dear to them, and are betrayed by people they thought they could trust.
The plot is full of twists and turns. I was excited to find that there's lots of action in Phoenix, probably even more so than in Black City. Natalie and Ash spend lots of time fighting for their lives and on the run. When there's not action, there's plenty of political intrigue. I enjoyed this aspect of the story; it really added to the world-building. There's also an excellent twist at the end that I didn't see coming at all.
What ruined the story for me was the romance. It's not exactly a love triangle, per se...but there is another guy who complicates the relationship between Natalie and Ash. I got frustrated with Natalie and Ash because they kept acting so jealous and immature. If they're really as desperately in love with each other as they claim to be, why don't they actually be honest with each other?
But despite not liking the romance, I really did enjoy Phoenix. It's a strong sequel plot-wise, and I think fans of the first book will love the tense action and surprising twists. I'm looking forward to seeing how the story ends in the final book.
* Thanks to Steph at Cuddlebuggery for sending me her ARC!
My rating: 7 out of 10 (3.5 stars)

Director of the Office of Emergency Management
This statement covers Flash Floods.
Since 1996...Flash Floods have accounted for 12 deaths and more than 52 million dollars in property damage across the tri state area.
Flash Floods can occur anywhere from within a few minutes to a few hours of excessive rainfall. The two key elements contributing to Flash Flooding are rainfall intensity and duration.
Slow moving thunderstorms moving over the same area can produce rainfall rates in excess of 1 to 2 inches per hour for several hours. These storms...which climatologically occur from spring
through fall...can produce flash flooding of street and poor drainage areas...small streams and rivers.
When there is a potential for flooding beyond 36 hours...our National Weather Service office in Long Island NY will provide this information in our Hazardous Weather Outlook text product.
Flood Watches are issued by our National Weather Service office when there is a potential
for any type of flooding...except tidal flooding...within 36 hours.
We will issue a Flood Warning headlined as...Urban Flood Warning when moderate or greater flooding is expected in poor drainage areas...low-lying areas and on roads in highly urbanized areas.
Flash Flood Warnings will be issued when any type of flooding... except tidal flooding...will create an immediate threat to life and property within 6 hours. Last year...we correctly forecast 89
percent of 29 Flash Flood events with an average lead time of 68 minutes. Our office uses a combination of weather radar...rain gages and volunteer skywarn spotter observations to issue warnings.
These outlooks...Watches and Warnings will be issued for people living in...11 counties in Southeast NY covering the Lower Hudson Valley...New York City and Long Island...5 counties in Northeast New
Jersey and 4 counties in Southern Connecticut.
