11/21/2023 0 Comments Pokertracker vs holdem managerAgainst a passive player we can consider folding here, but this particular opponent can bet just as easily second or third pair, or simply two overcards. He didn’t raise pre-flop, so a big overpair is unlikely probably he caught something on the flop. He obviously plays a lot of trash hands, so his flop aggression percentage of 64 is borderline crazy. The opponent is definitely a loose-aggressive player (LAG). Now what? Well, let’s look at his stats (we’ll assume a decent hand sample is available).Ī) VPIP=27 / PFR=15 / Agg Pct=55 (Agg Pct Flop=64). The big blind bets half of the pot and the early position player folds. Flop comes 2 5 9 rainbow (of different suits). A player in EP (early position) limps in, you limp in, and the BB (big blind) checks. For sake of simplicity we’ll assume all opponents have stacks of about 100BB/įR (full ring) table, you are in middle position with a pair of 6s. These ranges depend heavily on the limit and the type of table – lower limits usually have more timid players compared to the higher limits and shorter tables see more aggression than full ring tables.Īs always, remember to look at the stats for the individual streets – often players are very aggressive on the flop but proceed differently on the turn and the river. The slight difference occurs because checks are neutral in AFq and not counted as passive. AFq range is similar – too passive when less than 35% and too aggressive over 65%. As far as ranges go, an Agg Pct less than 30% is extremely passive and more than 60% extremely aggressive. Knowing these stats allows you to clearly identify overly passive and aggressive players. The probability of a Check-Raise can (and should) be analyzed using the separate Check-Raise statistic, but more on that later on.īoth Agg Pct and AFq start to become useful for the different streets after about 300 hands. Some players say that counting checks as neutral is OK as the player could intend to check-raise, but I personally prefer the Holdem Manager Agg Pct statistic – it’s more straight-forward. There is a slight difference in the way Agg Pct and AFq are calculated, as Agg Pct sees checking as passive and AFq as neutral. So if I bet the flop but check the turn and river I would have 33% Agg Pct because I made 1 out of 3 aggressive actions.Īggression frequency /AFq/ is used in Poker Tracker and is calculated as (total bet + total raise) / (total bet + total raise + total call + total fold) * 100, the idea being to include all possible actions in the divisor of the equation. In order to see a nuanced picture, you need different indicator – and which one you’ll use depends on your poker HUD program of choice.Īggression percentage /Agg Pct/ is used in Holdem Manager and represents the frequency a player takes an aggressive action on a given street. I myself don’t rely much on this indicator, but it’s a part of the so called Holy Trinity of Poker HUD stats (VPIP, PFR, AF) so you have to know what it does. Basically, all a high AF tells you is that the player doesn’t like to call. The drawback of this indicator is that due to its formula it can’t differentiate between a hyper-aggressive player raising any two cards and a fit-or-fold player throwing away everything but the pure nuts. Tradition requires that we mention the classic Aggression Factor /AF/ calculated as (Bet + Raise) / Call, checking or folding with no effect. It can be measured in several ways – aggression factor (AF), aggression percentage (Agg Pct) or aggression frequency (AFq). The Packers’ 28-point loss is tied for the third-worst in the regular season with Rodgers as the starting quarterback. While you’re only as good as your record, Matt Ryan versus Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback matchup. Of course, he now has three pick-sixes, with two in Tampa Bay.

If you do some research, you’ll find out that the emperor received the titles Germanicus and Dacicus in 97 and 102, and his sixth consulship in 112. However, you can further narrow the dating, based on Trajan’s titles. So, you immediately know that your coin was made during the reign of Trajan, who was an emperor from 98 to 117. When you solve the abbreviations it reads: Imperator Traiano Augustus Germanicus Dacicus Pontifex Maximus Tribunitia Potestas Consul VI Pater Patriae ( Commander Trajan, Emperor, Conqueror of Germania and Dacia, High Priest with the tribunal power, Consul for the sixth time, Father of the country). Remember that the Romans used abbreviations to save space, so consult your manuals to work out the text.Ī silver coin of Emperor Trajan, via Wildwindsįor example, the legend reads: IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS VI P P. If you can read the legend, you can use the databases to find the equivalent to your coin. The legend usually contains the name of the person depicted on the coin and his titles. If all the letters are clearly visible, half of your work is already done. The common elements of the obverse are the head/bust (usually of an emperor or a prominent Roman), the legend (inscribed words), the field (the space around the bust) and the frame (a beaded line that frames the legend and the image). When analyzing your coin, be sure to write down everything you can see on the obverse (front side) and the reverse (back side) of your coin.

There are two other online coin databases I would recommend to collectors. You can find printed versions of these (they are continuously being reprinted to include new finds) but luckily, there are digitized versions too. The two main sources every numismatist uses are British catalogue Roman Imperial Coinage (RIC) and Henry Cohen’s massive corpuses on Roman Republican coins (Description Generale des Monnaies De La Republique Romaine, Communement Appelees Medailles Consulaires) and on Roman Imperial Coins (Description historique des monnaies frappées sous l’Empire Romain). Timeline of Roman coins, by the Museum of the National Bank, via National Bank of the NRM A great way to start is to check out the Digital Library Numis, an excellent research tool that contains a huge number of numismatics books, papers and manuals. If you’re an absolute beginner, I would recommend reading a couple of books or papers on Roman coinage to familiarize yourself with terminology, denominations, and general rules. For numismatists (scholars that study historical currencies) those tools are manuals, catalogs and online databases.

Instead of reflecting radiant heat away from your attic, the barrier will conduct heat into the attic and achieve the opposite intended effect. The foil also happens to be a highly conductive material. If the radiant barrier is sandwiched against the surface and doesn’t have that air gap, it becomes a means of conduction. IMPROPER INSTALLATION: WHEN RADIANT BARRIERS ARE NO LONGER “RADIANT”įor radiant barriers to work properly, they need to face the source of radiant heat and have an air gap between the barrier and the source. What about those that incorrectly installed ones? That is the downside of having a correctly installed radiant barrier. So, you could very well get mold growth in your attic if it doesn’t stay warm enough during the summers. Sweating ducts result in a wet attic, and fungal matter thrives in moist environments. We can get very high dew points in the summer, and if the attic air is cool enough to cause duct surface temperatures to drop below that dew point, then your ducts will start sweating. The air at night tends to be cooler than during the day, and it can’t hold as much moisture at night, objects radiate their heat and cool down, so the water vapor in the air around those objects condenses and becomes the dew that we see in the mornings. The dew point is the temperature at which water vapor in the air starts to condense and become water (like dew). When radiant barriers keep your attic cooler, the duct surfaces get closer to the dew point. WHAT ARE THE DOWNSIDES OF HAVING A RADIANT BARRIER? That’s pretty much where the benefits end. Your attic won’t be climate-controlled (compared to a storage unit), but it won’t be nearly as hot. Department of Energy).Īlso, if you happen to store things in the attic, you’ll be able to keep them cooler. In a warm and sunny climate like ours in Central Florida, you could see a 5-10% reduction in your cooling costs ( per the U.S. When installed correctly, radiant barriers keep your attic cooler and significantly reduce your energy expenses during the summer. WHAT ARE THE UPSIDES OF HAVING A RADIANT BARRIER? Your roof will get hot, but the attic will be cooler than it would have been without the barrier. Radiant barriers consist of a highly reflective material to control radiation the idea is that heat will be absorbed into the dark roof tiles and be reflected by the barrier. The sun is just one example of radiant heat transfer our bodies also radiate heat, as does everything around us. Radiant heat can either be mostly reflected by lighter objects or mostly absorbed by darker ones. The heat that comes in through glass windows has entered our home through radiation the heat has passed through the glass via the sun’s electromagnetic waves, and we call it radiant heat. Radiation is what happens when heat travels on electromagnetic waves. We can control convection in our homes by sealing gaps and cracks between rooms and unconditioned spaces (like the attic, crawlspace, or outdoors). That’s because heat is traveling upwards through the air via convection. If you’re boiling water in a pot on the stove, you can hold your hand over it and feel warm. The thickness of walls and attic insulation help control heat in the attic via conduction.Ĭonvection happens when heat transfers within a fluid (vapor or liquid). When you hold a cup of hot coffee, your hands will start to warm up that’s conduction at work. Heat moves in three different ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.Ĭonduction is how heat moves between two objects that are touching each other. Whenever you have something that has a temperature over -460 degrees Fahrenheit, there will be some heat. Heat is the energy that causes molecules to move. This article will explain how they work, why improper installation renders them ineffective, and the challenges they pose for your HVAC system.īefore we can understand what a radiant barrier does, we need to understand what heat is. If you plan to include radiant barriers in a new construction home (or already have them in your home), you may want to learn a bit more about them. Other problems may arise from improper installation. However, there is a lot more to air conditioning than keeping buildings cool, and radiant barriers can pose unique challenges to your comfort. Theoretically, that would reduce your power bill. That sounds great, right? In theory, radiant barriers do seem useful for reducing the heat load during the summer. In doing so, these barriers keep the attic cooler by reflecting solar heat gains back to the roof. These foil-like sheets are “radiant barriers.” Their goal is to reflect some of the sun’s heat. Some attics have a foil-like material built into the structure, often on the plywood or draped over trusses under the roof decking. 11/21/2023 0 Comments Bryce hall and austin mcbroom resultAnEsonGib–Holder controversy Īfter AnEsonGib and Tayler Holder's bout, Fousey announced that the match was a majority draw the official scorecard was 49-46, 49-46 and 50-46.

A few beaches near Wailea you will want to check out if you choose to leave the resort: The beaches, and corresponding parking, along this stretch of coastline, are also a lot less crowded than the beaches in West Maui. If you don’t manage to get out of the resort area much, at least make it to Ulua Beach Park for morning walks, jogs or evening sunsets. This beach community also includes nice resorts like Andaz, Grand Wailea, condominiums and some gorgeous private homes. This is where our Maui resort was located. Located 35 minutes from Maui Kahului Airport (OGG), Wailea is known for its five beautiful, crescent-shaped beaches, luxury resorts and stunning golf courses.

Suburbia’s first trip together several years and most recently we made the trip back to Maui with our kids who had just graduated from high school and college. The island of Maui is world-famous for its beaches, the sacred Iao Valley, views of migrating humpback whales (during winter months), golden pineapples, farm-to-table cuisine, and the magnificent sunrise and sunset from Haleakala. It is a chant that the islanders have used for years and songwriters seem to have incorporated this phrase when writing about the island, praising Haleakalā or the Roselani, Maui’s favorite flower. I hope you agree with me by the time you get to the end of the post. Maui nō ka ‘oi, Hawaiian for “Maui is the best,” is a saying that dates back centuries.

Our thrilling drive up Haleakala to catch a sunset above the clouds was one of my favorites this time around. Maui is perhaps the most popular tourist destination in Hawaii and is home to many incredible attractions, adventures, scenic drives, and offers countless things to do. |
