Question for the board. I don't know if this is a rules or ethics question. I get invited to a group that has a monthly sit-and-go tournament. I know one person, and not very well. Never played with any of them. This is a 10-person live tournament. The payout structure is 50/30/20 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We are down to four players, and it's to the point where I'm in seat 1 with 26.25 BB, seat 2 has 4 BB, seat 3 has 6 BB, and seat 4 has 21.5 BB. At that point, the short stack (seat 2) says to the other short stack (seat 3) "Do you want to chop third place?" They then openly agree at the table that if one of them busts next, then that person will get 10% of the prize money, to be taken from the other person's payout. I start to say something, but seat 3 is technically the host and he says that the deal doesn't impact me. I disagree. They no longer have any financial incentive to eliminate each other. Or maybe seat 2 then gives his 4 BB to seat 3, which four-handed would be very easy to do. What do you think?

I don't understand the confusion. The fact that I can see water before I hear it is proof that the speed of water is greater than the speed of sound.

Have there been any deaths?

They're solving the wrong problem. They need to shorten the work day. Cut it back to end at 3:30 or 4:00.

Trump want's 20%? In kind or bitcoin?

Oh shit I didn't realize he meant what he said.

Why doesn't she pull herself up by the bootstraps?

If you tax Americans for buying Coke the price of Pepsi is going to increase.

I had actually forgotten about this. Are we still in the process of surrendering?

I received this email from my dentist. I assume he sent it to all his patients. He lost his niece in the July 4 floods last year and apparently his way of dealing with the grief is to do the "most important thing we can do in life" and preach to me about his god. The same god, of course, who presumably let all those little girls die horrible deaths last year. But don't worry, that god will make it all better if he ever finds the time. This is an educated adult, and 20 years ago it would have meant something to me, because I believed in the same god. I believed that god loved me and I was special. I said my prayers, just as I was told to do. I was told that if I didn't, then I'd burn in the eternal pits of hell and be tortured forever amen. There are people in Christ followers thread who, I think, would like to see me tortured forever. They probably call themselves Christians. That god never answered any of my prayers, because he doesn't exist. He's never answered anyone's prayers. Maybe my dentist finds comfort believing there's a god and better days ahead.

Wow I can't believe a sucker would fall for something like that.

Because they're over the age of 18 and registered?
