Using ngrok for remote SSH and web to MacBook plus Cursor CLI on macOS

I was on tilt last night had a bad night I don’t usually play that bad. I agree this was a super dumb hand. I don’t use AI to help me play. No one would need AI to know this was a dumb hand though.

I like reading BlackRain79 and watching his YouTube videos. Nothing beats experience though. Start playing without money for a long time first to learn the rules of the game. I actually downloaded a Game Boy emulator for iOS and the ROM for GBA World Poker Tour (2005). After playing that for a long time I finally got the basics like muscle memory of knowing what hand beats what and what possible combinations could be out there based on the board cards, stuff like that. Then from there if you live in a legalized state like I do you could start playing the lowest stakes online like .01/.02 NL.

Yeah I used PokerTracker 4 to cross reference and kept working with Cursor until it got very close like within 1% of accuracy but there are still some edge cases I might not have found yet. In the beginning it was hallucinating a bit by “estimating” what the percentages “should be” etc but I kept working it until it was doing things right.

I didn’t build a poker playing bot only a poker hand history analyzer

I love it! This is what I was trying to say but you said it much better.

You’re probably right, I am just sharing what I have been studying and from my experience playing but I’m a losing player so it should be taken with that context.

Thanks! Can I use Lovable to design and then bring that back and have Cursor implement it?

I'm curious if it's possible to make a profitable GPT Poker bot, I have seen a few GitHub repos but not experimented with it. Obviously legal/ethical concerns there aside. In my experience you see a lot of the same names when playing and they could be bots. But you can interact with people in the game by chat or "throwing" objects at them in the game like a horseshoe or cards. And when they react back maybe that's a sign they're not bots. Regardless you want to avoid playing with the good people and seek out the bad players aka fish so you can play against them instead. Table selection is key.

No idea, obviously you can see I'm a n00b and not a profitable poker player but on the strategy side, and this is very oversimplified, but you should be folding a lot of the time other than when you get AA-22, AK, AQ, AJ, AT, KQ, KJ, QJ, JTs, T9s, 87s you call or 3 bet pre-flop because you have good odds. When you're up against tight players you can make a small bluff on the flop and scare them away most of the time, if they raise you fold though. Position is very important in the game, when you're on the button you have odds in your favor because everyone else has to check or bet before you so you play more loose and aggressive in that position and more tight and passive in early position. There is no one single strategy to memorize and apply, that's why it's great. 5 minutes to learn the game, a lifetime to master.

Oversimplifying for sure but if you're loose and aggressive against a tight aggressive player, you're going to make them fold most of the time and win a small amount by applying pressure on bluffs but every once in a while if you get too aggressive and they call you because they have a monster hand then you get wrecked

Good take

This is true, when I played live poker with full ring I got destroyed, you can be much more loose with 6 or less

Yes this was going to be my reply lol

I still think that might be oversimplifying what software creation is which is being able to explain to a computer what it is you want. I think of Cursor as Python was to C. It's a higher level language but you still have to be able to think like a hacker, which will always be a rare skill.

Nice! It's legal here in Michigan and a few other states, where are you from?

An open source project with a mission of ending SMS spam by wasting spammers time and money.

For reference my micro-SaaS is $1.7M ARR. B2B. Not marketing tools or analytics related. Large market share % of a tiny market rather than 1% of a large market.

Lots do it actually, mine took 3 years to go from $0-$1M ARR

HostiFi was for sure funded by technical debt. I hacked the MVP together on WordPress plugins and Python scripts. That got us to over $1M in ARR then we spent about $100K to rewrite the entire thing and migrate to Laravel PHP and (better) Python scripts.

I think IPv4 pricing going up will be the financial incentive for IPv6 adoption, however, I think IPv4 will hold their value forever and continue to go up in value in the same way new TLDs didn't erode the value of .com.

Yes, - 5 years. The only exception would be if the business was acquired https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/ipv4/waiting_list/ https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/nrpm/#8-2-mergers-ac...

Thanks for sharing! If anyone has any questions lmk

My bad, (it's WordPress) we're working on building faster landing pages with Webflow

The newsletter looks suspicious but I confirmed with a Ubiquiti employee that it is legit

Probably not, I really wouldn't recommend for anyone to actually use the code in their next project, I just wanted to try to inspire anyone who might be thinking they're not a good enough programmer to start a SaaS business because I felt that way and almost never launched because of it.

Thanks for sharing!
