When someone pretends that they're a physicists and through their work they determined that we perceive certain frequencies as louder or quieter when the actual loudness of the sound goes up or down.
Wow that guy is using "The Baxter-O'brien Maneuver" He's not a physicists who stumbled upon that phenomenon! That was Harvey Fletcher and Wilden Munson. This guy is just a nerd who lies. I cant believe he's really using The Baxter-O’brien Maneuver

The McLeod Maneuver

An advanced poker tactic.

A type of bluff predicated on the history of your opponent offering to soft-play hands with familiar opponents; the assumption being that future soft-play will be mutually enjoyed (ie: he likes to cheat).

This advanced maneuver fakes a soft-play situation, suggesting that the opponent should "save his money", thereby getting the opponent to fold a superior hand.

For background reference, please search the superb articles written by Mike Caro (rhymes with arrow) on poker1.com regarding all poker players’ obligation to follow the rules of poker:
- “The Horrible Reality of Poker Partnerships”
- “Why it’s wrong to soft-play friends at poker”
- “My personal poker code of ethics: poker cheats should be boiled and eaten”
First, a “scare card” situation must come up. In no-limit Texas Hold’Em, one such scenario is the middle rank card on the flop pairing on the turn. The following actions/dialogue depicts how The McLeod Maneuver could possibly play out after the “scare card”:

Dave Z: Bet $25
Todd M: Raise to $50
Dave Z: “You’re kidding me!!”
Todd M: Blank Stare
Dave Z: “Are you serious?”
Todd M: “Save your money” (The exact phrase should mimic the opponent’s historical invitation to offer soft-play in exchange for future soft-play)
Dave Z: “You have me beat? I’ve got a really good hand”
Todd M: “Save your money” (note repetition of implied offer)
Dave Z: “Will you show me if I fold?”

At this point, a super advanced tactics may have to be used (Reference: The Full McLeod), or simply repeating the mantra of implied future soft-play might be enough to get the cheating opponent to fold what may be a superior hand.
