  1. 12th man runs on to the field of play into the ball and is out.
  2. 8 days into the poker blitz. played 6 tournaments, cashed in 4, should have cashed in 5 but I fucked up Tuesday. By far the funnest tournament has been the bomb pot PLO tournament on Tuesday at 52 Social. Tonight played in the bigo at 52 social. 6 runners, we chopped at 4. $1100 put into the pot, $2k paid out, $900 overlay. I got $450 after putting in $280 for a $170 profit. Probably should have just played tight on the $80 to start. At the break I had 80k in chips. $2k prize pool. $50 gets you 50k in chips, $100 gets you 100k in chips. Around 900k in chips in play. Every chip was worth 2k/900k = $.002 each so 50k in chips worth $111. I didn't do all the math but it seemed with round numbers of ICM in my head it was right to buy chips so I bought 50k for $50. Looking at the math I should have bought $100 worth. Is ICM the right way to think about the add on or some other way I should think about it?
  3. and out a few hands later. 15k ante when you have $100k is not good. Went all in with a flush draw hoping to steal, got 2 callers and somehow my pair of 2's was not good.
  4. Did horrible in the Bigo at lodge last night. tonight is a plo bomb pot tournament at 52 social. Down to final 7, just went from chip leader to middle of the pack.
  5. If you'd like to share your hot takes about cops please find the appropriate thread for that. This thread is news about Uvalde.
  6. Couldn't have asked for a better final 8. Young female who thought it was a holdem tournament but kept getting lucky and stacking chips, very passive calling station with a huge stack, two really old dudes that would get confused on many hands, two uber aggressive guys that always overplay big pairs and one guy that was super tight. Build my stack from $50k up to around $150 by getting decent hands and hitting some flops. Big stack takes out second biggest, little stacks keep taking out each other and all of a sudden we're down to 4. Passive calling station with $600k, me and super tight around $150 and one old guy at $30k, blinds at $5-10k. Top 3 get paid. Old guy asks about paying the bubble. Big stack says no way. Old guy says fuck you guys I'm gonna win. He wins the next two pots and knocks out super tight dude. Both guys are pretty passive and I manage to win several decent pots and get up to around $300k. Old guy has around $100k. He pots pre flop, I call with KT97. Flop is K96 he goes all in, I call, he shows AA53. Turn 7, river A. Very next hand I get KKQ9. Pot preflop, big stack calls. Flop AAT. He is first to act, shakes head says "I guess I call", and lays down JJ99. Dealer lets him know it was his turn to act and I haven't acted yet. He says oh fuck, check, I pot/all in and he calls. Turn J. River J. Took home $250 after $30 entry and $40 add on for a $180 profit. 3 for 3 and on to big o tomorrow at lodge.
  7. Made final table 8 left, I’m in middle of the pack
  8. Karen and dealer she’s never going to tip again
  9. Fuck Got moved to other table
  10. Lol. dealer who walked away is back to table
  11. Our end of table talking about dealer walking away. I tell story about being waiter and walking away from table while getting yelled at by customer. Other guys nodding their heads agreeing with me, Karen is glaring at me
  12. Meathead in Seat 9, keeps making a “you folded my hand” joke. Seat one finally heard it and started to steam then saw seat 9 laughing at her and started laughing too.
  13. Playing Sunday night free roll at shuffle 512. Holy shit what a shit show. first hand I get AcKcKsTd. Flop kq8c, pot it get two callers, runs out 3c,2c, more than double up. Second hand seat one puts her cards down toward the dealer, dealer mucks them. Fat old karen goes nuts, old Bahstan dick head in seat two keeps egging her on. Floor comes over, asks the dealer what happened, seat 1 and 2 won’t shut up and keep talking over dealer, floor tells them to shut up and act like adults. Karen grabs dealers arm dealer tells her dealer tells her never to touch him, Karen guarantees she won’t tip him ever again, he looks like he wants to punch her, ends up standing up and walking outside. floor deals the next few hands till new dealer shows up. currently 8 runners, rebuys for another hour. In second only because someone rebought for $100
  14. Announcers talk up Gordon for 10 minutes, immediately gives up an HR
  15. Yeah, my first thought the rule While standing on the rubber, throws to a base without stepping directly toward that base;
  16. Yes to both. I'm a way better tournament player than cash player and these PLO and big O tournaments are so soft you have to really run bad not to cash. There are always players in these tournaments that never play bigo or plo. I mainly play poker for the enjoyment of playing, and knowing I can get 3-4 hours of entertainment for under $100 is a good thing. I'm averaging $30 an hour and cashed in 65% of the ones I've played in the last year. Plus there's only a few big o cash games in town. I went to play big o at red star last night and it didn't make so I went up to TCH for the tournament. Red star runs Sunday, Tuesday, Friday and there's an underground game that runs Monday, Wednesday, Thursday but they only make about half the time. 52 social runs big o sporadically and shuffle 512 used to run Monday and Thursday but it dried up. PLO runs all the time at the Lodge but it's a complete shit show. You need to bring 5+ buyins. Buy in for $300 and you'll be all in if you play to the river on a majority of hands. I was talking to a dealer from the lodge last night who was playing the tournament at TCH and he was talking about the 1-1 PLO they started running at the lodge to try to have a small game people could enjoy but everyone buys in for the max $300 and half the table is all in on every hand for the first hour and if you come to the table a few hours after it opens everyone has $2-$5k.
  17. Blacklab's month of poker is off to a good start. Wife and kiddos out of town for a few weeks so I'm going to play a bunch for a few weeks. Played the big O tournament at 52 social last night. ICM chopped with 4 left and took home 634 after putting in around 150. Had second biggest stack. Only one table ran for the tournament, maybe 12 people total paid. Garuntee of $2000, I have to think there was a pretty big overlay. Tonight hit up TCH for their PLO tournament and we did an even chop with 7 left. $2280 prize pool so we all got $325. I put in around $130 so ended up around +$200.
  18. I have a buddy who when he was in high school sent Dean a letter asking for a basketball scholarship. Dean sent a very nice letter back unlike every other coach he sent a letter to. He ended up walking on at UT.
  19. Lake Austin very nice tonight
  20. Pitcher in sunlight, home plate in shadow
  21. Wind is blowing out to left field
  22. There's a newly created thread if you want to argue about last years defense and personnel. Further posts on that topic in this thread will earn some time off.
