  1. We always did 3.5 min per lb at 375*
  2. Note to self: Do not buy house below shitter evacuation point Relatedly:
  3. Yeah? What was your purchase price + FSD? What’s the current resale value of your car?
  4. Yep, so I just replace the whole mechanism rather than just parts
  5. That’s the worst. Have to kill the water at the street to fix it. Had the exact same problem while fixing a fill valve myself. Other than that, replacing/tuning your fill valves is probably something you should get comfortable doing. I’ve probably done a dozen by now. They just don’t last
  6. These legit high level events really give me a perspective of where my game is at. Much like shot taking in big cash games it’s always a slap in the face of reality when I’m clearly one of, if not the, weakest players at the table. First, it’s fairly obvious when you’re being targeted. We all see it, know it, and feel like there’s not much you can do about it short of either taking some questionable risks or nitting it up, both of which suck in a $5k buyin! It’s also interesting when you’re just a spectator in a hand and you see cards revealed at showdown that are well outside the range you anticipated. I often find myself asking if I ever could have taken that line as successfully as they did. Finally, the number of 3bets and 4bets I saw was astounding yesterday. Happened virtually every hand with an EP raiser. I was also surprised how frequently I would see 2x opens (perhaps a big contributor to the 3bets) and even open limps. One guy would then just randomly open 5-6x, often still getting 3bet! It was wild to watch
  7. Six handed, shove 6 bigs UTG w KTo and get called by BB w J9dd QT9 Q K Game over
  8. Terrible level. Kept getting 3bet big pre-flop with hands I was trying to steal blinds with, then couldn’t even find a hand worth jamming before dinner. 7500 coming back to 500/1k/1k so the end may be near…
  9. 400/800/800, 32 bigs. LFG
  10. HJ opens to 2700. I make it 10k from BTN w QQ. He calls 21.5k pot K74 rainbow. Chk chk A. Chk chk 3 river and he makes it 15k. I fold and he shows AK. We had both just chopped prior pot AK vs AK. 27.5k. Not great Sorry, discussed upthread. WPT Jax Main Event with Brad Owen
  11. Brad opens HJ to 1500. I call in SB w As4s. BB calls. 5100 pot Ks8s3c. Checks to Brad who makes it 1700. We both call. 10.2k pot 4h. Checks to Brad who makes it 7k. Only I call. 24.2k pot Td. Check check and he wins w 87o
  12. 300/600/600 starting lvl 5
  13. 51.4k to break following 4 levels
  14. 300/500/500 UTG opens 1200. I make it 4k on BTN w AQhh. He re pops it to 10200. I call. 21.7k pot 6h4c3d. He 12k I call. 45.7k pot Jh. He checks, I go 20k. He brief tanks then jams 66k and I just barely have him covered. I fold. 46k to win 178k. 49.7k stack. Damnit.
  15. Brad has AsKs on Qs7s6s flop Turn 6 River Q He manages to find his fold
  16. Brad just sat in seat 1. I’m in seat 4 for some vlog airtime it appears
  17. 200/400/400 Stacked a guy (Kelly Jo, the winner of yesterday’s 6-max) with my AJ vs his JT on J high board and stack up to 125k Next hand I open UTG1 to 900 w Ad9d. Button makes it 3100 and I call. Qd6d6h. I check and he makes it 1700. I decide to just call. 4d. Chk chk Td. I make it 6k. He tanks and then bets out 20,200 leaving 25k behind. I know he’s boated up but can’t find the fold. Call to see QQ. Still fine with 95k this early
  18. Room is full of pros. My starting table has ONE reg, and he won yesterday’s 6-max. Going to be a slog 50k starting chips, 1 hour levels. As we finish level 2, I have 76.2k, mostly from a flopped top two that I got 3 streets of value with
  19. He's turning it into a presidential run with the No Labels party. Let the 2024 chaos commence
  20. Totally. That’s how it’s done. Best leverage they’ll have all year
  21. Plus it was a good way to find new Follows
  22. I wasted a whole fucking propane tank (20#) forgetting to turn off the grill last night. I’d say “lesson learned” but I’ve done this at least 2-3 times before
  23. They've frequently brought up that the terms of the agreement required DJT to maintain a certain net worth. Presumably if he had to attest to "still" being above the number (or perhaps failing to report that he had fallen under it) at any date inside the limitations, the savings he subsequently experienced on interest rates due to that fraud would be subject to disgorgement.
  24. I'm of the belief that whomever is being polled that is liberal or left leaning independent is answering the poll questions as a means of swinging the hammer and making their point that they want someone other than Joe (predominantly because he's a horrible communicator, imo) and/or that they want their pet position to get more action from the Dems in office. Their tune will change when its a solidified race between Joe and Trump. They're not staying home, and their not voting for Trump or a 3rd party candidate that will spoil a Biden win. In other words, I think the polls are accurate in that they reflect what they're being told, not in that they reflect the actual likely vote to be cast by the respondent.
