  1. Was watching some Bandon videos with dad and brother to get even more hyped (Tourist Sauce and Fore Play) and Bandon called with the great news that they got our room totally ironed out with no room changes. Even more stoked!!
    Flight leaves in 31 hours, L F G!!!!

  2. Flying out to Bandon in 10 days and CAN NOT FUCKING WAIT.

    Plan and participants:
    Me, currently a 19, wildly inconsistent (shot 77-108 back to back last year).
    Brother RT, currently about a 12, gets frustrated when it starts going south, short game is wedge-based, two factors that may be rough.
    Dad DT, currently about a 25, good hybrid bump and run short game, just no distance. Fatigue is a factor and concern.
    Best friend JK, currently about a 17, pretty weak short game and putting.

    Jan 11 - 330 Bandon Preserve
    Jan 12 - 950 Old Mac - group caddie
    Jan 13 - 1240 Bandon Dunes - group caddie
    Jan 14 - 950 Sheep Ranch - group caddie
    Jan 15 - 1130 Bandon Trails - regular caddies
    Jan 16 - 840 Pacific Dunes - regular caddies
    Jan 17 - 900 Bandon Preserve, then drive to Portland and fly home

    We are playing skins on every hole, 18 hole round robin matches each main round, 90 hole round robin matches also, and playing 2 v 2 best ball the first 3 rounds rotating partners. Then for the last two rounds, the guy who is up the most will team with the guy who is down the most to play the other two in a 36 hole best ball, with the double bag caddies each assigned to one of the teams.

    RT is playing green, JK and I are playing gold (tho will prob hit a few of the epic tee shots (like Bandon 16, Sheep 6) from the green tees where appropriate), and DT is playing orange, and JK and I get 5 strokes from RT and DT gets 10 (and 5 from JK and I obv).

     

    Also, got Arccos in December, have played 2 rounds with it so far and love all the data etc. It doesn't do great detecting putts, so still working on that aspect just a bit. But as a supreme stats nerd, worth it just for the info, any actual benefit to my game is a huge plus.

  3. Definitely going to be too late once the river is dealt bc obv if it’s an A or 9 you aren’t gonna say “oh hey I actually didn’t know about the extra $175 so he can keep that”. So you’d be freerolling. But definitely the big chips need to be up front/visible. If they were hidden behind stacks of red or actually sitting on the rail, I would def argue it. If it’s just his “gorilla arms and monster hands” it’s not going anywhere.

  4. And if not second Saturday of October, the second Saturday of the fair. State Fair Classic is always the first Saturday of the fair. 

    Yeah I’ve been burned before counting on second Sat in October, it’s the second Sat of the fair which is USUALLY the second Sat in Oct, but not always

    Had to make a trade. We start 3 wr and 2rbs (.5ppr)

    WR - Adams, Lazard, Michael Thomas, Mooney

    RBs - Najee, Jeff Wilson, Damon Pierce, Montgomery, K Walker, R White and Etienne. 
     

    Offered Marquise Brown and Chase Edmonds for David Montgomery and Rachaad White 

     

    think I have to take it?

    You definitely need to add WR depth and have plenty of RB depth to trade away. I think you can probably do a bit better. Marquise has been really good but how will his role change when Hopkins is back? And Monty is really consistent volume and White is a really solid lotto stash. I'd shop around/counter.

    Hit up the True Texas BBQ in the Marble Falls HEB today. Pretty damn good! Isn’t Goldees or Truth obv but quite good. On left is the Texas Torpedo which is a sausage wrapped jalapeño stuffed with brisket and cream cheese. The jalapeño was hot! In back is green chile cheddar cornbread with honey butter which slapped. Brisket beans and Mac n Cheese were both very good. Brisket itself had good texture and really good flavor. Would def eat again.

    I think that that building is split 50 / 50 with a food court on one end and other shit on the other, but I may be melding buildings.

    The Dock which is home to Fernie's, is in the Embarcadero building, along with another food stand. We have spent many a post-game time sitting in The Dock noshing some snacks, watching some other games, and mixing in the occasional power snooze. 

  8. I mean, why if she knows the cards/runouts would she have gotten it in on previous hands drawing literally dead?  

    Just to set up her BIG MOMENT of getting it in with 47% equity, and also agreeing to run it twice, so whatever cheat she has would have to know the second card after the natural river? 

    It just makes no logical sense whatsoever. 

    My best guess is she has some sort of read/tell on Garrett when he's bluffing/semi-bluffing and obviously doesn't want to say that and give it away, so comes up with other nonsense. 

    My second-best guess is she just decided "he doesn't have anything, I'm tired of him running over me/the table" and called without pondering the equity of her nothing. I've seen plenty of players call in spots saying "I didn't think he had anything" or "I thought he was bluffing" when they literally can't even beat a bluff.

    My THIRD-best guess is she was remembering the J3 hand she had the literal hand before. She said when she was looking back she was checking to see if the J was a club. 

    I just can't find any reason to have an amazing elaborate cheating system set up and you only use it to get in on the slightly bad side of a coinflip. 

  9. 2x defending champs in my dynasty league, started 0-3, playing the by far worst team in league and gonna lose again bc he is starting Geno, Burkhead, Robert Woods in 10 team league and also has Philly D. So absolutely dumb. He got 42 from fucking Geno!

    Not sure I understand why he picked up and dropped two guys. Cock blocking opponent? I think that's fair game. But yeah you should add transaction fees next season and truthfully if someone would have pulled the shit he did last year in my league he would not have been invited back this year.

    Most leagues/settings won't allow someone to add/drop in the same FA period to lock a player. Otherwise teams could just go in and pick up all the QBs or defenses or whatever and freeze the whole wire.

  11. It’s easy! The “lock everyone up til trial, if we even need one” only applies to brown criminals, not white patriots. For example, see how even a search warrant on a white patriot is surely example of the justice system run amok. And then the “guns always for everyone” part only applies to white patriots like Kyle Rittenhouse.
