  1. He said it’s sad that Omicron got to more people than the vaccines. Jesus fucking Christ you lunatics come up with some of the dumbest possible shit.
  2. I have two slots available in a four pack for the All In for the Hungry charity poker tourny in New Braunfels on Feb 26. Individual tickets normally $275 and are $325 day of. These slots are $225. First place is a WSOP main event package worth $12,000. Info at https://www.downtownrotarynb.org/sitepage/all-in-for-the-hungry-texas-hold-em-tournament.
  3. Def agree on turn. I prefer bet-fold on river. I think you get calls from hands like straights or AK that will often check behind. If you get raised, unless opponent is completely bonkers you can comfortably fold.
  4. Well and of course the millions of people who were born with diabetes or conditions that cause high blood pressure. Also the "most deaths had close to 4 comorbidities" was talking about vaccinated people. Not saying you were, but many people have taken that line as a reason why people don't need to get vaxxed.
  5. I did this in the break room at my office a couple years ago, leaned in to throw something away, stood up quickly and obliterated my head on a sharp corner of the ledge the microwave sits on. Had literal stars, almost dropped to my knees, had to sit and shake cobwebs for a bit. Scary to think if that hit a bit differently, I could have just dropped dead.
  6. I saw that if you spend $1100 there you get $250 in credits back. Impressive incentivizing. And I matched my Diamond card to their Gold and now no resort fees for me at MGM. Hurry and switch Cosmo now!
  7. Yeah if we are folding as strong as JJ we are basically folding everything but a queen. We basically never have KK or AA or a seven. He could be betting to try to fold a chop out if he has A high. Just have to be good 2/7 of the time. Against an aggressive opp I think it’s just a shrug/cry call.
  8. Tape Face at Harrah's gets really good reviews, we are considering doing that this Sunday night.
  9. Eating there Sat night and looking forward to it
  10. how much can I bet? how much can I bet? how much can I bet? how much can I bet?
  11. I like check-call then lead river if we are worried about that. I think thinking we can go check-call, check-raise, bet and get called and win with one pair is fairly optimistic, esp after we opened UTG. How many aces is a button 3b an UTG open with? AQ, sometimes AJs? They will sometimes fold them straight up to the turn c/r. Plus there are only two aces left in the deck, so less likely they have one. And how many hands that don't contain an ace is calling a turn c/r and losing to us? Obv if button is either a spewtard who is relentlessly 3b pre without regard to position of the opener, OK, or if they are an insane fishcake or callbox who will just pay off a turn checkraise and river bet with like tens, carry on.
  12. Tried the Adventurefuls last night and they are fucking good. Crunchy like a thin mint, but with salt/caramel/fudge on top instead of minty.
  13. I don't hate 4-betting pre, and am basically always doing so in tourney, but when really deep in cash, it's pretty brutal to get 5-bet here, depending on reads on button obv. What are we trying to accomplish with turn c/r? I think we never fold out better, and worse hands will get very nervous. If the idea is to charge draws, we are going to have to go big to avoid them calling profitably and then we are really isolating against hands we have beat and losing value against worst b/c they just fold. I know I'm hating someone going check-call, check-raise in this spot if I'm BTN holding AQ or whatever. I prefer just check-call turn to keep villain's bluffs in and avoid getting massacred when he has 99 or whatever. 100% leading all rivers on checked turn, folding to river raise unless opp is maniac.
  14. They managed to pack quite a bit of misleading bullshit into the original. "QUAD VAXXED" - oh, 6% of the population. "HUGE CASE SPIKE, WAY BIGGER THAN U.S." - oh, lower positive test rate than U.S. "VAXX NO WORKY!" - oh 1/10 of death rate of U.S. "MOST VAXXED COUNTRY" - oh, also not true So fucking tired of the deliberate lies and manipulation. SO. FUCKING. TIRED.
  15. nah my opp always has A5o or 55 there haha. To the question, the parlay of "opponent actually has a heart draw" and "heart hits river" is far too remote to worry about leading here. Any reads on button?
  16. Nah, the El Dorado in Bossier converted to Bally's. The Shoe is still the Shoe.
  17. Ehhh, we have used both bakeries and I think each bakery has some that are superior to the other. The Smores we had >> the other Smores, and Lemonades >> Savannah Smiles for sure. I also like Caramel Delites a bit more than Samoas and PB Sandwiches over Dosidos, but Tagalongs >> PB Patties (tho PB Patties still fuck)
  18. Bacchanal at Caesars is fully open and is the best in the city anyway. We did the Wicked Spoon brunch several months back and found it to be more than just "eggs and bacon" and were pleased, but YMMV.
  19. There are two different bakeries that have slightly different cookies and different names, rather than Samoas being phased out as a name. For example, the bakery that North Texas uses still has S'mores in a sandwich-style cookie, whereas the fudge covered S'mores my daughter sold last year are gone-zo. Tagalongs = PB Patties Samoas = Caramel Delites Dosidos = PB Sandwiches Trefoils = Shortbreads But thin mints are always thin mints.
  20. The money the troops have raised for cookies have directly paid for tons of events, camping trips, etc., for my daughters.
  21. Also great to make little ice cream sandwiches with.
  22. The Caramel Choc Chip and Toffee-tastic are both gluten free, and thus don't taste as good as they sound. I'd certainly eat them if in front of me, but yeah. Signed, Girl Scout Dad
  23. Def a monster flop, but with 9/10 people seeing the flop, would sure prefer a rainbow board. Just a solid chance someone has 2p w/flush draw or set w/flush draw with that many people seeing flop. That said, I haven't had time to watch stream and haven't played PLO bomb pots, so dunno how fast/loose people are willing to get it in.
