The sauce was really good and complemented the other flavors really well. It's on the sweeter side and definitely has some Asian influence, but it isn't like a hoisin sauce or anything like that. The brisket and rice comes with it on there, so if anyone thinks they wouldn't want that, know that going in. But the flavors really work well together, especially with some of their house-made onions and jalapenos (which have a bit of soy sauce to them) mixed in also.

Both plays were fine imo. I don’t do the AA UTG limp play myself but it can be quite effective at low stakes where there are a few always-aggro players. Risk is of course that everyone else limps too and you’re pretty much just set mining with rockets at that point and stand to lose a big pot by overplaying them post flop.
Suited Q opener on button is proper in normal game with no straddle. May be edge with double straddle, though I like your sizing to cover that additional risk
Was Q4o not suited, I def hate doing that to win blinds in a small stakes game where people aren’t going to fold often enough and we have literally one of the worst hands in the deck for how it flops. Agree Q4s, J9o, 86s etc obv fine. -

Each room has different caps for different stakes. I think Bellagio actually has a $300 cap for 1/3. It would be good to have extra money on hand to top up to 300 if you lose some money, or another buyin in case you get stacked of course. Some rooms have a "match the biggest stack" or "match 80% of the biggest stack" buyin rule, but I don't think the B does, but not positive.
Lots of people will buy more than $300 in chips when you check in and just have the extra in $25 chips in your pocket to add (only between hands and only if it doesn't take you over $300).

Really important for you to consider stack sizes. If you just call, the pot is $400+ and he just has $300 left behind. You’ll be burning money if you fold on any flop, as paying $300 to win $1000 just needs 30% to win. He’s going to have that in bluffs alone.
Rather, you’ve got a monster preflop and you want him all in before he has a chance to miss a flop and fold. As noted above, you’re getting it all in no matter what, so do it now.
This. Plus you should never reverse engineer your strategy for what your opponents specific holding was. For every time we execute the “fold QQ to AK when A or K flops” plan we also execute the “fold QQ to JJ who jams the K94 flop bc the pot is huge” or the “lose out on stacking JJ bc they fold an A94 flop when they would have called off pre” plan. -
From It Gets Easier: “You can't expect her to follow your lead
She's fine with wine and her weed”
Watched the doc and loved it. See they used this line in the doc so more of a “no shit” post by me sorry about that! I think it was just something I had internalized from that song but probably you haven’t sat and listened to Reunions much since it isn’t your fave. -
Doc is fantastic. A few thoughts:
-They didn’t go over the top on it, but they very clearly pointed out that Shires isn’t a tee totaller. For as big of a part as sobriety and recovery are in who Isbell has become, that surprised me a little, but also came off as a testament to his strength and commitment to his recovery.

Trying to think of a worse line with $150 in front first to act holding 9h9x on 77583hhhh than "bet $100, call off the rest" but can't do it.
I would also just jam your A6ss on flop if you're calling off a jam anyway, we would definitely prefer to maximize fold equity rather than have someone spazz with middle pair trying to get us to fold something like 99. But it worked out! Nice sessions!

Nobody here is advocating for criminal acts.
So it's your position that the WaPo fabricated the autopsy results of actual people when this would be easily verifiable? Also the judges that I have talked to in my job who investigate these deaths also all lied about the results of these weapons? They all conspired to lie about identifying these kids by their clothing and/or DNA? Deeply and sincerely, absolutely fuck you.

Well of course. While looking for your info you asked, I came across a Fox 26 vid detailing one of them. Prosecutor asked for 500k due to record, prison time, etc, guy was given 5k, out for $500, committed 3 more armed robberies, then apprehended again. The constitutional and statutory rules and limits you are held to, where does one get from 500k to 5k? Or in the case we were discussing earlier, one single dollar? A guy that cant afford even $1, would probably benefit from 3 hots and a cot.
You have continued to fail to 1) understand bail; 2) provide a reason why a defendant putting up $$ makes the community safer as opposed to actual restrictions such as restraining orders, house arrest, etc. You are just a puppet for the grifting ass cash bail industry as well as the lunatic right who screech bullshit about criminal law while simultaneously wanting criminals who are conservatives to never face a single consequence.

Shucks, didn't work out for the girl. Too bad I guess. Maybe the next guy will stay in the corner when the judge puts him in timeout.
Lol at the audacity to feign to me about caring for the public and then accusing me of hypocrisy in the same breath.
You cry about tax dollars, then cry when something that saves tax dollars (house arrest) is implemented. Do you think bond conditions, protective orders, GPS monitors, etc., are all worthless but somehow some scumbag bail bond company putting up money makes a person safe? Do you think having money means a person isn't a threat? Robert Durst had a high bond set. Guess what? He posted it then MURDERED HIS FUCKING WIFE SHUCKS SHUCKS SHUCKS DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR THE GIRL. Bail doesn't prevent crime either, so don't act like it does. Did you cry when Chris Beard bonded out and weep for society, when he was charged with the same offenses this guy was?

I am aware. Are you under the impression there is not a group making a mockery of it? The $1 bail discussion on this board out front should have shown you.
He was placed on house arrest and given other bond conditions. Those are quite frequently more effective in preventing recidivsm than simple monetary bond (especially since despite what the mouthbreathers believe you can't just set bond in an amount you know they can't make, and THE REPUBLICAN TEXAS LEGISLATURE has passed Art. 17.15 which requires that the defendant's personal financial situation must be considered).
You've been crying in this thread about your tax dollars, so a judge did something that in most cases is effective in accomplishing the goal while not making the taxpayers cover this guy's room and board. But you don't care about any of that or your hypocrisy and just want to point out a time when it didn't work and throw shit like a zoo monkey without knowing anything about what you're talking about.

Yet we only seem to have that problem in one fucking place. Crazy, I know. Just terrible luck, I guess.
Your opinion is that people out on bail only commit crimes in Harris County? Are you literally this stupid? Can you read the fucking law? Are you aware the U.S. Constitution places restrictions on bail, in addition to the restrictions imposed by the U.S. Supreme Court and the Republican Texas Legislature?


2023 Annual Thread of 3 Putting
in Hobbies
Was +8 through 8 trying for my 4th straight round around 90, working hard to lower my handicap. Playing pretty well, playing tees a bit further back than I normally would. Had a gross triple where I hit a sprinkler head with a beautiful 7 iron approach that went flying into junk and then my pitch stopped riiiiight before a big downslope which would have taken it down to the flag and I 3-putted.
Lightning moves in and they blow the horn.
At about 4:45 (sunset just after 😎 they announce they are closing the course. Very little rain had fallen on the course, so no conditions issues (there had def been lightning, I don't fault the hrn). Radar and forecasts indicate everything should be clear about 5:15-5:30.
I had played 8 holes, so I get a prorated 10 hole rain check at the weekday rate. I live 150 miles from the course so that's really not helpful/valuable. The other players who were around were all locals/members so no big deal to any of them. I get not wanting to have staff stay for one guy, but at least help me out with some actual value? Was I wrong to be super steamed about this? I feel like I had $100 stolen from me, and never would have teed off if I thought them closing the course after 0.1" of rain and still hours of daylight left was a possible option, never had that happen before.
