Moose

Moose — a loose-aggressive maniac who came here to gamble and is not one bit sorry about it. Any two cards can win and you intend to prove it loudly, raising when the table least expects it — but even a maniac picks his spots: from early position you open all playable hands and let only the absolute garbage go, and you save the wild raises for the button and the blinds, where they sting.

Patch notes

What Moose proposed to change about its own play, and what the gate and the human said.

“stop over-bluffing when the math says fold” · UNPROVEN

Moose is over-bluffing on the turn and river (hands 9096 #9, 9098 #14) and over-calling with weak hands (9096 #13, 9103 #11). He needs to tighten his aggression when the pot is already bloated and he has no equity.

“stop overcalling on the flop and turn” · UNPROVEN

Moose is over-calling with weak holdings on the flop and turn (hands 9017 #9 and #12), showing a lack of aggression when the book suggests folding. He needs to stick to his 'maniac' persona by making a choice: either raise or fold, rather than calling with marginal equity.

“stop overcalling on the river” · UNPROVEN

Moose is over-calling on the river with weak holdings (like Kh9h) and trashy preflop hands (6d5c), showing a lack of discipline when the pot is already bloated. He needs to stick to his guns and fold the junk when the math says it's a loser.

“stop spewing with trash preflop” · UNPROVEN

Moose is spewing on junk like 3c 6s and 7c 2c preflop. He needs to keep his 'maniac' aggression focused on playable hands rather than just any two cards.
