The phrasing is weird but is used when you have a non-paired low card you’re playing with one that is also matched on the board bc four lows are now there. Correct he is playing 7-6-4-3-A. The 8 river doesn’t change that.

We arrived at 7:30, parked in the lot at Gate 2 on the NW corner, and was able to park immediately on the left, rather than having to do the long drive down by the bridge. Walked right into the fair, and man it was awesome with cool crisp air and really empty. Had a Fletcher's with zero wait, and just enjoyed three or so hours of no lines, a non-sauna Food Court, etc. Loved it! Sat down at a picnic table in the shade by the Lagoon and relaxed, and enjoyed some 5 coop can beer from the Gulf Coast Grill. Can >>>>> wax cup on keeping beer cold. About 11, it got warm and a bit crowded. Our normal sit space at The Dock was reserved, so a bit more wandering and Food Court time. Entered the stadium around 1:15, through Gate J. Our tickets were 103, but J looked very uncrowded, and that seemed easier to enter and then circle rather than fight into the Coliseum/Cotton Bowl Plaza area. Took maybe 4 minutes to get into the stadium. Was definitely annoying after getting to seats, wife wanted a Gatorade, which is only at the concessions in the end zone upper deck, not the "old" upper deck, and so went back through the ramp/stairs, waited like 25 minutes in line, for them to say they "just ran out" of Gatorade, when it's still 45 minutes to kick. How literally fucking stupid do you have to be to run out of a nonperishable good, that will be in high demand due to conditions, that you are selling at a 300% markup? Legitimately how bad must someone hate money? It was hot in the stadium, but the towel and low humidity helped. 2013 as an example felt roughly 20 degrees hotter. I exchanged "hope of winning" for "shade from the sun" at about the 3:00 mark in Q2, which wasn't a good deal but I'd rather have one of those than neither. We sat in the seats maybe 15-20 min after the final gun to let the mob clear, exited through Cotton Bowl Plaza which was annoying but not stifling, and were able to get a few more items without egregious hassle. Left about 8 and rolled right out and onto Haskell, and back to our AirBnB in 25 minutes, no traffic issues exiting whatsoever.

There are some but rare. I got tickets from a realtor whose grandfather requested them with his season tickets.

This goddamn game, I swear. Have been chipping/pitching really well recently, I'm an 18.5 and I compare myself to a 15 index in my Arccos and have been consistently +SG in short game vs a 15, including multiple rounds where I was close to or even better than scratch. Have a round where I hit 9/13 fairways with all four misses being just in light rough with realistic shots at the green; was on the green or greenside on all 5 par 3s, including a 5w to 9 feet on one; had zero lost balls/penalty strokes AND gained strokes putting! Must have been a great round right?? OPE, lost 10.9 strokes short game, whammy!! FIVE times down in 5 from greenside and four more down in 4. Hate golf, can't wait to play more golf.

I know those days! I think this is a fold pre in O8 for 1/7 of your stack though, esp if UTG is good, since they should be tight, and also know that villain is a dullard and may decide to re-bomb it pre if they have AA2 or whatever. One way hands are brutal in split pot games. Obv once the flop comes, GG.

Several for sure, which is why I will take the worst of it with you, but never over two TD either. I’ll also offer a modified spread of +7 up to $150 if you’d prefer.
-
Spread this year eclipses our previous years pretty considerably! I'll go up to $50 straight up or up to $200 on the +14, your choice.

Straight shooter with upper management written allll over him right here!

That's the year that people said it actually opened earlier after the fact b/c I posted bitching about it haha. If it truly holds to this, goddamn all the 230 truthers.

Would think you would want me watching every minute this year, Number One.

Hey all, One of the reasons I always liked 11a for this game is that the fair opens parking at 7a and gates at 8 when the game is early. That let us get to the fair at 7, drink in the lot til 8, then get a Fletcher's and a fried butter etc while the air was crisp and the lines were short to non-existent. The last time the game was 2:30, the website said parking at 9 and gates at 10. We went with that, and it was hot and crowded when we arrived. But people mentioned that it still opened early that year? Anyone with any intel about when parking/gates will open this year?

The Red River Shootout: A Classic Battle

Figured! Yeah, if the board is 2344K or something, absolutely must again lead river. On 23444, our hand got turned into napkins. Reminds me of a fun Big O cash pot I played at WSOP several years ago now, I have A235Q with nut clubs. Get stacks in on 557 with two clubs. Huge flop for me of course, trips top kicker, uncounterfeitable low draw, nut flush draw. Runs out 7-7. So my low misses, flush misses, and now my trips top kicker doesn't even play, I am playing my AQ with the 777 on board. Napkins. I vomit in my lap but scoop the pot over my opponents AJ245 with non-nut clubs hahaha, so he has AJ with the 777 on board.

We lose to A2 and A3. A5 is the only worse straight and we block it and surely if UTG opens A5, gets multi callers, and flops wheel, they are betting flop.
