The last few days I haven't paid shit for attention to poker cause I got dragged into the hacking drama in the BW scene. A guy on my team was accused of hacking and so we needed to investigate to make sure they were right. At first it looked bad for him, then I checked the evidence closely and it suddenly looked good. They'd misrepresented some facts and all their shit was very disorganized. This lead me to spend like 2 days of hunting replays and analyzing em with a friend. At the end it was clear that the guy 100% hacked. Glad to know for sure and have that shit be over with. Now I gotta focus on poker again. I was having fun being a bnet Hercule Poirot but that's over now.

Poker has been ok though. Played a really bad mega donkey session 2 days ago and have just now recovered from it. I was stupid and jumped on 6-8 tables and spewed 4 buyins. Since then I've been good about 4 tables and a great mindset before playing. Spent a lot of time going over hands with snider and sweating him some too. It's been very helpful. I think I'm making a lot of good plays and have really adjusted to NL100 well. I'm also table selecting well too.

No need for screenshots cause I've played like 500 hands in the last 48 hours. Gotta start putting in more time at the tables. Keep getting nervous when I'm winning... guess it's cause my last big losing session I was up about 3 buyins and decided to stay cause I had some mega fish on the tables, and managed to lose it all really quickly after deciding to stay. That was bad for happiness EV. That's a concept that I heard in Raptors CR vid and I liked it a lot. Happiness EV is good cause then I play better and make better poker EV moves. So I've been playing really short sessions and leaving as soon as I feel myself getting tired, lazy, anxious or nervous. I try to fight it but if it doesn't go away easily then I'm out. Can always take a break and come back later right?

I'm also a total drama whore and curious as hell about what is gonna happen with soah. That was some weird shit. So I'll probably be whoring LP nonstop till I see the details come out, haha.

Oh yeah, going grocery shopping tonight cause we have some friends coming over tomorrow night for dinner. We're cooking tibetan/indian food and they're bringing the wine. Should be fun and I'll try to post some pics.

Now I gotta go pay bills!

wow yeah i havent touched starcraft in ages but i clicked some link to the iccup website and read a big ass paragraph on all these hackers, was pretty interesting.

i dont really understand what they meant about "no clicks" though... did it mean that the hack doesn't record it when you click on an enemy in darkness? or that the hackers were so scared of getting caught that they would never ever click on an enemy unit?

anyway seems good that they got caught, but just makes me think there are probably so many other hacks out there that people use.

also what happened to MistrZZZZ? he was so good back when i was still watching starcraft stuff, haha. is he still alive and playing?

full ring

No idea about mistrzzzz - I barely touch the BW scene these days, just pay attention to my team here and there.

the 0 click thing is that bwchart records suspicious clicks, which are basically when you click on enemy units/buildings. The old method of catching hackers was when you found a suspicious click that was also made under fog of war - so basically they couldn't have been able to see what they clicked so they had to have a hack on to make that click. The hackers saw that they were getting caught and made a new hack where at the end of the game the hack caused the replay to save with 0 suspicious clicks. It basically deleted all the suspicious clicks you made.

Some guy realized this and saw that since most legit players make suspicious clicks all the time, for someone to have 0 was really rare. So it likely meant they were hacking and the hack had deleted them all.

Of course now there's a new hack out which only deletes suspicious clicks made under fog of war and leaves the others. It only took them like 3 days to make a new one and adjust. Damn.
