Hi all, I'm an audio guy with a bit of experience in the field, but I recently discovered the lighting world. I've been experimenting with stuff at home with some demo rigs and in the visualizer. I'm mostly using Onyx and Chamsys.

I recently landed my first gig. I'd have to run and design the lights for a local act play. They are friends and it's very low level stuff (school-like), so there's not any pressure on my end.

The fixtures at my disposal are either 9 Robe Robin washled 300 or 8 washled 300 and a Robin Viva.

I've yet to see the place where the play is gonna be performed, but who's been there told me the stage is around 6x4m, so rather small, and there's only gonna be a front truss. My plan was to put 5 fixtures on the front truss, try to use 2 as sidelights (if there's space) and put the remaining two on the floor in the upstage corners.

The theatrical performance is set mainly in an outdoor garden and a bedroom, with relatively static scenes. However, there will also be two more “musical-style” scenes featuring music and choreography that will be a bit more complex.

My plan was to build a cue list and run through it during the show, while also keeping some FXs on some overrides for the musical parts. What scares me is to have to modify some palette and mess later cues.

What do you guys think? And of course if you have any advice, especially related to the design side of things, it's very welcome.

Yesterday I played my fourth MTT of my life. I played well in some spots, made a couple of hero folds and some hero calls. Notably I called an all-in with A-high on a KKQQ3 board like on my fourth hand of the night.

I did also several brutal mistakes. Here are the worts hands I played:

BB 2k + 2k ante

Hero stack 110k, v1 400k, v2 55k

v2 limps on the LJ, Hero bets 6k on the BTN with AhJs, and v1 defends on the BB

Flop Qd6d2c (pot 21k)

BB x, LJ x, Hero bets 7k. Both villains call.

Turn is jc (pot 42k)

BB x, LJ x, BTN x

River is 8s

BB x, LJ bets 15k, BTN raises to 45k. BB folds and LJ calls showing 68o.

A brief explanation of my reasoning:

The player was short stacked. I found out very often weak players play more loosely when shortstacked and the rebuy is still available. When I bet flop and check turn I show some weakness so they might want to bet the river when they hit something. This something, given their pre flop line, is often a weak jack or a K6, K8, A6, A8 or some stuff of this sort. If I re-raise them they just say fuck it and call hoping for the best.

The problem is I found out he wasn't a weak player at all. The line in this spot is still bad. It puts me at risk for no reason, but with an incorrect read it is catastrophic.

BB 8k + 8k ante

Hero stack 64k, v1 700k, v2 180k

v1 UTG opens to 16k, v2 on the HJ calls, Hero defends the BB with 7s6s

Flop 7h6h3c (pot 60k)

BB x, UTG x, HJ x.

Turn is Ah (pot 60k)

BB all in 40k, UTG calls, HJ calls

River is 9h (pot 180k)

UTG bets 50k, HJ folds. UTG wins the pot showing KhJc.

That was the hand it hurt the most. Not because of the bad beat, but because It was an obvious bet on the flop and it wasn't the first time I did such a mistake. I ended 27th out of 119. First 18 were in the money.

I also misplayed a flopped set of 7 out of position (SB). I checked it and bet it only on the river. Villain was on the BB and defended after I raised big pre.
