make an ostensibly modest or self-deprecating statement with the actual intention of drawing attention to something of which one is proud.
I’ll go first with an example:
“I’m so bummed. No one wants to come to my home poker games anymore because I cleaned everyone out the last five times we played.”
I’m so lazy, I’ve only memorized the raise first in charts for all the positions, not all the 3bet/4bet charts. I don’t even know how often the chart says to 3bet from the button with J9s against an mp open! (Though I do know how often to 3bet JTs [always] and J8s [never]).
