I suck at HU poker but wanted to play some for fun so I did a $5.25 HU SnG. I suck badly, playing some combo of weak/tight LAG (if you can make ANY sense of that). However, this guy was way worse and open folded about 3 flops and 1 river. To boot, we built up a decent sized pot on a AKKAA board (2 hearts on the first A and K), and by the river, I shoved (with something like Q8o) and he folded. Obviously he put me on the 4th ace...

Wow, this must be what it's like to play 5NL.

from wikipedia:

Reverse Breathing is a choking technique associated with yoga and qigong. It consists of expanding the abdomen while breathing out through the nose, and then compressing it while inhaling via the mouth

correct it keeps tension in your stomach so your always able to take a hit in your stomach, I learned it in kung fu, when you breath in think about it coming in from your nose and down the front of your body and at the peak of your breath think about it sitting in your Dan Tien wich is bascially where your taint is, then when you breath out think of your breath going up your spine through your brain and then down and out of your nose...this is also how you have tantric sex/multiple orgasms

more wikipedia. i find it interesting


In martial arts, a practitioner would deliver a technique on an in breath so an attack would be absorbed by an empty chest or lungs. This makes the martial artist more resilient to attacks.
