  1. I'm in NOLA Wed-Sun for a trip around the OU-Tulane game. Uhhhhhhhhhh.....
  2. I use 18Birdies while playing, free app (there are premium features if you want to pay), but really useful and easy to use GPS yardage stuff. I keep my scores and index on skygolf360 online, also free.
  3. That is pretty square-on to my strat too. I do know some guys do start ripping earlier, but enough good players play this way that I feel comfy with it also.
  4. Followed up my 77 with a nice 108 today so for everyone who said “no way a 22 can shoot 77” there ya go. Opened with a quad, was cart path only and god awful humid and just could not find any rhythm. Pretty tough track too - Texas Star in Euless. Really liked the layout. But fucking OOF
  5. Def cannot fold with that stack to pot ratio, which to me is the bigger issue than raw stack depth. This flop is below average for KK with a spade but not horrid. My check range would be all my give up hands (not bothering c-betting AK or AQ into 3 opp on T87 two tone), with some check calls with 99/JJ and some check jams with spades, maybe AA, since AA has less bad turns than KK. Bet/calling this with QQ-AA other than any check/jam AA, sets.
  6. They can legally do that. Your understanding is incorrect. They obviously may choose not to for practical reasons.
  7. I def agree with the "whole" experience, although of course hitting a 3 wood into a par 3 or par 4 designed to receive a mid-iron approach doesn't really qualify. There is certainly also some ego involved for a lot of them.
  8. Looks like a great rec from a quick glance, thanks!!
  9. I feel like a pretty big majority of golfers would have more fun moving up a box. I hit my 5i about 165 and am currently a 22.1 trending down, and generally look to play around 6000 yards, but I agree that slope is an even better indicator. My brother hits his about 190 and doesn't keep an index, but is probably a 10-12 or so and also plays the whites with me. Our dad also plays whites, though now he will pick some holes to play up if there's a decent forced carry, he's always been a low ball hitter, but just doesn't have the power anymore. So many players just default to "next up from tips" even though they would have a significantly better time playing further up. When I played Paiute, my buddy and I got paired with a single. My buddy and I played the white tees (Par 72, 6035 yards, 68.8/111). The single played the yellow tees (next ones back, one up from tips, 6635 yards, 70.9/118). My buddy and I shot 102 and 96, respectively, and the single definitely was north of both of us, and had a considerably worse time. The game is hard, why make it harder unnecessarily?
  10. Yeah, I obv dunno all the details. The person who posted it I have known for 35 years, and she is quite conservative and lives in Oklahoma, so it definitely isn't just a "friend's brother in law heard" or "libtard scare tactics". Obv it could be something like they said "Hey, look, it's either gonna be 8 hours before someone gets to you so just sit in that chair, or you can go home and come back if it gets worse" or whatever.
  11. I dunno. But if there aren't resources to give, there aren't resources to give, right? Take it to the logical extreme with 1 doctor and 1000 patients, what should they do?
  12. A friend of mine just posted that she had a lifelong friend who went to the ER Friday night with an asthma attack. The ER told her they didn't have any capacity to take her and to go home and let them know if it got worse. She died overnight. The anti-vax fucksticks filling up the hospital literally murdered that person. If you aren't going to get the shot, keep your stupid fucking ass home from the hospital. You don't believe in medicine or science so just sit home and eat zinc or pray or use voodoo or whatever the fuck, but quit murdering people because you're a pouty little snowflake bitch.
  13. Driving to NOLA with wife, brother, and brother's GF from Wed, 9/1 thru Sun, 9/4. Wife is a picky eater (no seafood) and brother's GF is new to NOLA, so including some toury stuff: WED Stop at Darrell's in Lake Charles on the way Staying at Harrah's, two nights free, no resort fees, yay Dinner at Butcher, Felix, or Acme Booze THU Breakfast at Ruby Slipper 9a sightseeing bus tour - tours all of the neighborhoods, which I've never done Lunch either Johnny's PoBoys or chargrilled at Drago's, maybe some iced Irish coffee and poboys at Erin Rose Museum of Death (we all love the morbid and macabre) Dinner res at GW Fin's, they have a $45 3 course special for COOLinary. Wife will have limited options, but they exist, and she's very excite for the salty malty caramel pie Killers and Thrillers tour Booze FRI Breakfast at Stanley 11 am tour of Sazerac House - this is free and comes with booze samples Saints and Sinners tour Drunken History of NOLA tour Dinner at Butcher, Acme, or Felix whichever we haven't hit yet Booze SAT Breakfast at Willa Jean Head to Tulane and watch OU-Tulane Sat afternoon/evening open plans that will be involving lots of food, booze, and watching more college football, open to recommendations on great places to do that. Full plans depend on if we hang on the Tulane side of town or head right back to hotel and how much energy we have after 4 hours of football in 277% humidity with a mask on. Considering Bulldog, also considering grabbing Camellia Grill right after the game. Considering Frenchmen this night (or possibly Friday) and Bamboula's or Dat Dog. If we do that Friday, would need to hit Butcher, Acme, or Felix likely this night. SUN Cafe du Monde in the morning - I know it's touristy but wife and I always sit out and soak in a bit more of NOLA on our last day there Hitting Billy's and/or Best Stop on the drive home
  14. There actually was something that could have kept him out of the hospital that he elected to bypass - THE MOTHERFUCKING FREE VACCINE
  15. I would just call. You aren’t folding out anything that has a draw to beat you if you raise (maaayyybe 2p but we obv would much rather 2p call than fold). Might as well get more value from hands we beat. I would raise the flop with AT if I’m last to act, get some more money in. But raising from UTGs spot makes it too easy for people who haven’t acted yet to fold.
  16. Good fold. Can’t believe flush hits and 3 people get it in and no one has flush. Calling KQ there on turn after it goes jam jam is just lighting money on fire.
  17. Mandatory Tier Crispy Crazy Corn Deep Fried I-35 Pork Shots Lucky Duck Dumplin Brisket Brittle Pumpkin Poke Cake Toffee Coffee Crunch Cake Certainly would eat the Armadillo, but seems just "standard." Interested for sure in the Gumbo Balls, but wary of State Fair Seafood Coopin Inflation price there. The Deep Fried Halloween is one of those things like a funnel cake sundae, where sharing with 3 other people is glorious, but eating it alone will be a day-stopper. So that will be pending my group's tastes and decisions. Can not WAIT.
  18. It's so amazing how the I DID MY RESEARCH crowd cannot be bothered to do anything other than read the title of an article or YouTube. My dipshit anti-vax brother has yelled at me 3 diff times that "Bill Gates is the largest owner of farmland in America". My response, obv, was "sure, no shit, the richest person in the world has invested in a lot of appreciable assets OH WOWWWW!!!" He says, nah, it's because he is freezing food production in America to starve the anti-vaxxed after all the vaxxed die from vax. I ask him "what % of farmland do you think Bill Gates owns?" He ballparks 15%. The actual answer is 242k acres of 900 million US farmland acres. 1/3700. Took me 2 minutes to find this info. I DID MY RESEARCH. On a better note, my 14 year old overcame her traumatic phobia of needles to join #TeamPfizer today and I couldn't be prouder of her.
  19. Even here, during the time when HEB was requiring them, it was literally 99.9%, I saw 2 people without in dozens of shopping trips. Now that it's "encouraged", I would say it is 50/50 at best.
  20. I show my ID and my registration form every time I sit down at a poker tournament. OMG PAPERS PLEASE NAZI NAZI
  21. Obviously not, per their website. They changed it because with delta, vaxxed spread it more likely than the negligible amount with previous variants. Nothing says "as likely to spread as unvaxxed" on the CDC site, and in fact it says the dead opposite. Also, a big part of the change in guidance (not all of course) is the logistical difficulty in implementing the ACTUAL policy they recommended which is that vaxxed people go without masks and unvaxxed wear them. Unfortunately, even when businesses state that as a policy, lying scum unvaxx take it as an excuse to go maskless and violate the policies of the business they are patronizing. So either people have to be completely monitored, or back to everyone wear masks.
