  1. Hmmm, I know lots of kids who were traumatized by their religious upbringing, so can we now make it child abuse to take kids to church? Also, wait so the person in the first tweet was easily able to reverse the hormonal treatments when they decided that was the better decision for them? O I C. Also, I would say the LAST thing a child with suicidal ideation needs would be being threatened with being taken away from their parents and thrown into a foster system rife with abuse and faced with the thought of their parents being prosecuted and imprisoned because of the way they were born. You ignorant, ghoulish, bigoted motherfuckers.

  6. Thanks for running this! IOWA - 5 UCLA - 4 VA TECH - 11 SAN DIEGO ST - 8 S DAKOTA ST - 13 TENNESSEE - 3 LOYOLA - 10 KENTUCKY - 2 IOWA tiebreaker
  7. haha same
  8. Guy leapt into the air and lands on Hill, no call, then OU clean block the other end gets the whistle. Just absolute atrocious bullshit. Pretty excruciating.
  9. Haha was figuring someone would say something like this. Obv taking it on and off isn’t some huge issue but neither is leaving it on. It would be like if for some reason you had to wear a baseball cap at stores or indoors. You could keep taking it on and off or just leave it on. It’s not some huge pain to take it on and off but why would you bother?
  10. I’ve worn a mask alone in a car, when going from one place where I would be wearing a mask to another. Why go through the hassle of taking it off and putting it back on? It’s just not that big of a deal. When walking in Vegas through casinos and then back outside I would just leave mine on. My wife would put it on through the casino then take off once outside then back on then back off. I don’t get it. It’s not super oppressive to have a cloth mask resting on your face.
  11. ha yeah I wasn't sure at the time that I was going to run this one. I've thought about doing it for the last few years since he doesn't anymore and it's a fun game, but finally decided to just run it.
  12. Posted a similar $25 contest in Gambling, except instead of a draft, you pick one team on each seed line. Take a look and see if you're interested!
  13. In for this! Posted a somewhat similar $25 contest on the Gambling board for anyone interested.
  14. Friend of mine used to run this back in the day and it was super fun, so I'm gonna fire it off this year. Here's how it works, you pick one team from each seed line (so a 1 seed, a 2 seed, a 3 seed, all the way down to a 16 seed) and then a wild card team of any seed you want. The play-in games don't count, so for example if Indiana vs Virginia Tech is a 12 seed play-in game, you could pick the winner of Indy/Va Tech, but can't pick one of those teams and earn points for the play-in win. For scoring, you get 1 point for 1st round wins, 3 points for second round wins, 5 for S16 wins, 7 for E8 wins, 9 for FF wins, and 11 for national title win PLUS you get the seed value of the winning team for each win. So a 1 seed that gets to the elite 8 would earn 12 total points (1+1, 1+3, 1+5). A 10 seed that gets to the sweet 16 would earn 24 (10+1, 10+3). Can PM your picks or post them here. PM or post your email if you want standings updates. PM for payment info. $25 per entry. Selections and payment must be received by 11am Thu March 17.
  15. Worth mentioning that the calculus would be totally different if we are on the turn. Much more likely that someone could have a semi-bluff or a weaker hand like trip jacks trying to protect against straight/flush coming. Say flop was KJJdd then turn is 6 and I have 66. Not folding to turn 3b here unless player is known mega passive. The percent of the population who can semi bluff with cards to come and/or protect a strong but not nutted hand on wet board is SOOO much bigger than the percent who can 3b bluff a river against a PFR on a KQJJx board.
  16. Had to fuck with parking at Cosmo b/c my buddy's wife and her friend couldn't walk from Caesars to Cosmo so yeah I get it. That said, we did take an Uber from Planet Hollywood to Venetian in Feb, but had walked from Venetian to Mandalay to PH and were pretty sloshed and bushed.
  17. I've walked to Planet 13 from the V, it's really not a bad walk, about a mile that takes 20 minutes or so.
  18. For one, don't worry about looking like a dumbass. These places have "budtenders" who are there to help you and who are very used to noobs coming in and being overwhelmed. I'd say to feel prepared, think about these 3 questions: 1) How do you want to consume it? Your options will be "flower" which is weed that you would roll and smoke (they also have pre-rolled joints), vape pens/cartridges, or edibles. If you want to do edibles, you will have options like gummies, other candies like chocolate, and drinkables. 2) What experience are you wanting? Mainly are you looking to feel euphoric or relaxed? The experience you want will influence what type, or strain, of weed you choose. Generally, sativa is more euphoric and indica is more relaxed. They also have hybrid options. 3) How strong are you looking to go? The gummies/candies you usually have either 5mg or 10mg of THC options, and the packages usually have 100 total, so either 20 5mg or 10 10mg. I kind of like the 5mg options in the gummies to help control and keep a solid buzz. Similarly, the 10mg beverages you can sip a bit and have a gradual onset. Don't feel like you need to enter the dispensary having these answered 100%, but if you have at least thought about them, that will help your convo with the budtender be as productive as possible.
  19. In if room
  20. In this spot, probably just call. Lurch opened pre, c-bet flop, checked turn multiway and is now raising river. He can have KJ, QQ, JJ, KK, QJ (obv can't have JJ when I have QJ). Very unlikely to have J6, and may choose to check flop with 66. So the only real possible hand he can have that can consider calling the river 3b is 66. Now, this is knowing that Lurch is thinking and competent. If I sat down in a rando 1/3 game and this was my first hand, I'm shippity shipping QJ over the 200 for sure. In the actual hand, I'd bet solid money that SB had exactly QJ or KJ.
  21. Because a competent player will only be raising if: 1) they think they can’t win at showdown and can get us to fold, or 2) they want us to call with a worse hand than they have It’s very unlikely that they would go with a bet fairly small on river then re-raise line as a bluff. Also Lurch can have a ton of monster hands here so a 3b bluff is pretty suicidal. So he’s basically never bluffing what about option 2? There just aren’t hands he can realistically 3b the river for value that are worse than bottom boat. If he has straight he would certainly call and maybe even figure he’s good most of the time. But there are spots where you can be good most of the time but raising sucks bc if you raise then they just fold everything you beat and you get stacked the rest. Imagine a game where you get dealt a T, J, Q, K, or A as does your opponent. You get a king and bet. Your opp raises. You should call despite having second best possible hand. Your opp is heavily weighted to T and A with some J (should always just call Q). So if you reraise he just folds his Ts and 4b his As.
  22. Def agree. River is clear raise but have to fold to 3b unless opp is maniac.
