  1. If there was any doubt left, Ron mistakenly outed himself. Only an admin could have posted with that trip code.
  2. Lol. The political ads about to fire up will be even more persistent somehow. There’s no forgetting this

    Rock! Man, Doug still sounds great. That voice somehow doesn’t age
  4. Good point re him limping pre. He does do that frequently so perhaps solid isnt a good label. I would say he’s not splashy and a seemingly competent regular. I don’t ever see him get out of line, but he’s capable of smart bluffs. Not sure what to call that persona.
  5. I leveled myself. Decided he knew I might bluff jam here so I jam hoping he’d call with less. He then almost leveled himself thinking I’d only jam QQ because of the paired board and was convinced I had it. It took him a full minute to call with QJ.
  6. $2/5 NLH w $800 UTG ($1k, solid reg 40ish black guy) limps. I open UTG1 to $35 w ThTd. I had raised my opening size from $20 to $25 to $30 to $35 over three hours as I kept getting 4+ callers. Didn’t work, as HJ, CO and UTG all call. $140 pot JcTc9c. Checks to me and I cbet to $100. UTG calls. $340 pot. Qh. Check check Jh. UTG fires out $200. Call or jam $665?
  7. I can’t imagine you can net save at just 5k miles a year. I think I’ve read a new Tesla takes several years to break even on its carbon footprint with a typical driver (presumably 15k miles a year)
  8. Can’t wait for the Tea Party faction to chime in with zero irony awareness
  9. Not for me. Fortunately it looks like they’re going to run them all again on July 1 so we can catch them this time
  10. There are recs that come in occasionally that have never seen the cashier cage. No matter how well they’re doing they burn through their stack when they’re ready to leave. Inevitably they crush a few boards with their shit hands before finally getting taken out.
  11. A man gotta have a code
  12. Working theory: when you’ve developed an unwanted reputation as “too tight” when you’re playing properly, start straddling but change nothing else. Note, this may only be effective if few others are straddling, otherwise there’s no raised awareness. I’ve been breaking this out when I get two consecutive fold arounds to my opens/3bets. It seems to be reducing the hesitation to playing me by the regulars, at least for that session or until the table turns over.
  13. Is that how it works? Your F&B is included up to the cabana price? I’ve never paid for one, though I’ve mooched off of others that did. Never asked the price. I’ve got to think the max id pay straight up is like $200
  14. I imagine he was really confused if he had a strong hand chasing the straight flush, or a vulnerable hand with a middle flush scared of Ad and Kd hands catching up. In his shoes (though Q9s is not in my UTG opening range), I’d also cbet this flop, but don’t want to chase off straights or really even the Ad and Kd hands. I’d probably go half pot on flop and perhaps 2/3rds on that blank turn. I’d probably check jam the river, hoping to induce a bluff from the flush chasers or possibly a made straight (though I’m not sure those frequently bet with the flush possibility out there)
  15. Paid to see his Qd9d. I’m not really sure what he was doing with his flop overbet but it certainly worked to build the pot. I’d guess I’d have stacked him with a paired river, so as an opponent I don’t mind. I got most of it back from him later in the session with a super hidden rivered straight I caught with 85s. It took him and the dealer several beats to even see it when I showed the winner.
  16. $2/5. Have run stack up to $1900. UTG (unknown. I’d guess from India. 50ish dude. I’d guess not very good. I’ve seen him open limp and open raise from multiple positions, so this is probably the better part of his range. Saw him make a bad bluff attempt in last hour) opens to $30 with $1k behind. 2 callers, I call BTN with 7s7c to set mine. Blinds fold. $120 pot. 8d7d5d. UTG stares at board for quite a few seconds and checks his hand a few times. Finally over bets out $150. Others fold. I consider raising, but decide to just call. $420 pot. 3c. UTG bets $150 again. I call. $720 pot. 6h. UTG bets $300. Such a weird fucking spot. Him looking back at his cards on the flop makes me think he’s most likely non-suited, though the straight-iness of the flop could have him checking his cards for that. I’d guess he doesn’t have any 4’s here but Ad4d. Does have a few 9s here, 99, Ad9d, Td9d (though in our room many will check this down trying to catch straight flush and win high hand promo), other A9s and T9s combos probably don’t bet turn (?) Obviously he could have flopped a flush with any AdXd and maybe Td9d+ suited connectors. I think he may do this with all of his over pairs, particularly if holding a diamond blocker. He might do this with various unsuited Ad that missed. We could also have a set over set situation, which I’m winning two (55 and 66) while losing to 88. Jam $400 more eff / Call / Fold? Doesn’t seem like I could get him to fold any better hands, so jamming is out, I think. $300 to win $1020. Am I winning 30% of the time here?
  17. Flopped a set of Jacks vs opponent’s flopped Royal. Two shots at hitting bad beat but missed. Close!
  18. Seems like ICM suggests we don’t want to make a close call here
  19. It won’t, but at least there’s one more lifeboat available
  20. They DO own “doing nothing”. They’re quite outspoken about it. They get re-elected because of it. Pinning it on them **even more** (somehow?) when the whole country knows damn well who is responsible is just buying advertising for them. Take any win we can get. Maybe get more in 5 years when we’ll have another few dozen school shootings added to the list. Vote until we have enough for real change. That’s it. That’s the only viable strategy.
  21. Your strategy is to do nothing and blame the Republicans? Where have you been the last 30 years that strategy hasn’t worked?
