  1. I'll bet you no juice giving you over 8 if you want it.
  2. Yeah. Re-raising 64o without a very specific reason is going to be a significant money-losing play. But the guy who did it wasn't just spewing all over the place or marked in my mind as awful (if so, I likely 4-bet, since I would assume he was too bad/spewy to understand/care what the 4b meant). More just a player who was playing at least decently randomly choosing a quite bad play (play would be better with a hand with any blockers, a hand with any playability postflop, or against a more active opener, or against an opener who showed tendency to raise-fold, none of which were present), and getting a lightning bolt of a runout, rather than just getting basic donked haha. EDIT to add: Also of course it's way different if he just raised the 64o first in. I was BB and had been card dead, so opening wide against a BB who you think is over-folding is reasonable. Also more reasonable if he was 3-betting over a late pos raise instead of early pos. I still would like at least one of the above factors if we are 3b as wide as 64o but would be less punty.
  3. Right, or "hmm, I've folded like 13 hands in a row, kinda bored, let's pop it up!"
  4. Watch the Booker T one for sure.
  5. A big 4b though would be like to 11 or 12k with only 8 or 9 back. If I'm gonna do that, I'd rather just jam and hope he thinks I have AK and calls with a worse pair. 4b to 11 and he calls and flop is A84 is just abject misery. What about button sizing makes you think he doesn't have those hands? Too big? Hilariously, old guy in the Aria jammed 35k over 3 limps at 200/300 and everyone folds and he shows AA.
  6. Of course, the airlines with their bag check bullshit fees contribute. I booked a RT flight to Vegas on SWA. Then two weeks out, I needed to adjust the return leg. Could stay on SWA and leave at 6a and pay $180 more or go on AA and leave at 730a and pay $15 more. Obv choice. I had a rolling bag that is the biggest allowed carry-on. If I was still on SWA I would have checked it on the way home (I carried on going to Vegas b/c I was in a hurry to get to a tourney). But since AA wants $30 from me to check it, fuck it, I'm carrying it on. And OP is obv 10000% correct here.
  7. Played 36 holes at Paiute in Vegas last Wed. Great time! Got both rounds, lunch including a beer, rental clubs including two sleeves of balls, all for about $180. Also had 3 birdies through 8 holes which is fun as a 25 haha. Had too many triples and quads alas. 96-105.
  8. Had two pretty interesting hands in Vegas last week: $800 Ultimate Stack at Venetian, 200/300/300 blinds, I have 20k of 40k start stack. Early pos goes 700, button goes 3500. Neither had been crazily out of line. I have QQ in the BB. I decide to flat the 3500 as jamming feels like overkill but 4b small also just screams I HAZ HUGE HAND. Early pos comes along, so 11k in pot, I have 16.5 back. Flop is 753. I check, planning now to jam over BTN c-bet. Checks through though. Turn Q. BOINGA. I check again, and again it checks through. River T. I lead 10k. Early pos thinks and folds, BTN thinks and jams, I obv snap call and he turns over the ole 64 offsuit. LOLOLOL. So he just randomly decides to 3b trash and of course I have the exact stack to flat call and he gets a 753Q runout with 64 vs QQ and also no river board pair. COOL. I re-enter and basically never have anything until I bust 8 hours later. $140 at Aria, down to 18 players of 97, paying 13. I have lost 2 all in pots that each would have made me tourney chipleader. One was with about 40 left, I call A9 on ATT8ss, he has QJ and rivers a 9. Then the next was with about 22 left, guy jams 18 bigs, I rejam JJ, he has 77, 7 window. So now I have about 13 bigs and min-open AThh UTG. Tight guy in MP calls, BB calls. About 37k in pot, I have about 55 back. Flop A93. BB jams for like 70. MP has about 45k back. I jam also. BB now exposes his hand before MP acts and shows A2. NOW, MP exposes his hand without acting, AJ. MP tanks about 3 minutes and then calls. It really sucks that MP gets to see that he has one of the players beat AND that there is only one A remaining so I cannot have AA and very unlikely to have AK or AQ. So for me to get in this spot, I need MP to flat AJ with 10 bigs instead of 3b all in (I would fold to this player's 3b) AND BB to flat AND the case ace to fall AND BB to jam AND BB to expose his hand. I do not catch up, and am allin the next hand for the BB and ante. I get 22, 3 players limp and I beat 2 of them but lose to SB's 43o as he flops a 4 (same guy who binked his QJ against me earlier in huge pot). I LOVE PLAY POOOOOOKAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  9. Could have been called a sandbagger today for sure. Carried a 25.8 index and my first 14 holes were: Par-bogey-triple-double-par-bogey-par-par-double-birdie-par-bogey-par. Playing against a 26 and half their holes are birdie or par isn’t a good time hahaha.
  10. well goddamn I thought me saying that being sick of shithead anti-mask people and risking their health was all just a strawman
  11. I mean anything talking about "if I die before I wake" is a bit creepy, and obv Metallica agrees!
  12. Agree w Lurch. It sucks when an action killer peels, but you have to play against their whole range. When Bart 3b, he's really narrowing his range to KK, TT, and two broadway clubs. Part of it is a function of being so deep. If you are less deep, that widens both ranges some. But when you are announcing "I'm cool getting over 1000 bigs in on this flop" that is gonna be pretty damn narrow. It's also opponent driven. If your opponent overbluffs or if they are one of those people who bet-bet-bet unless there is a raise, he should def be just flatting the c/r and allowing opp to barrel his barrels, whether they are bluffs or value.
  13. Haha I normally do P13 but wanna check out Reef.
  14. To be clear, I saw the shittiness in person, not the assaults. Plenty of video and news stories of the assaults however. I saw the "leave me the fuck alone before I fuck you up" in person. I saw and personally experienced the hostility and "dare ya to do something about it" when I was tasked with enforcing a mask requirement at a conference of fucking elected officials.
  15. I saw it personally many times. Multiple people were assaulted for enforcing masks. I personally saw someone say “leave me the fuck alone before I fuck you up” over masks which exceeds anything I ever saw before Covid. You had assholes before yes and those WHERE IS MY EXTRY RAYNCH assholes still existed along with literally millions of people who thought masks etc violate their rights. I waited tables for 2.5 years in college and 0.000% I would have done it during Covid.
  16. I dunno how many people are tipping 50%+, speaking of strawmen. I did tip better in the pandemic. But for one they have way less volume so that gets mitigated. And you’re ignoring the constant conflicts with the anti-restrictions crowd which is mentally exhausting as well as subjecting them to health risks. I can pull up a few thousand videos if you are claiming this didn’t happen.
  17. You're free to just say "nuh uh" but feel free to say which of these tenets you disagree with: 1) On average, customer service and retail workers have faced worsening conditions during COVID, both due to health risks and due to customers lashing out about COVID restrictions. 2) Worsening conditions lead people to seek out different employment. 3) Entitled people were more likely to be intolerant of COVID restrictions such as masks or testing/vaccine requirements. 4) Entitled people are more likely to be annoyed to not have a militia of service employees waiting to serve their needs.
  18. It's a strawman that people have become drastically shittier to service industry employees over the last 15 months? Definitely not. And many of those same people who came at those employees with a sense of entitlement now feel entitled to have service workers and are befuddled at the shortage.
  19. Yeah. This was the same thing that happened in Feb on those exorbitant electric bills. People signed up for "wholesale electricity" and then only want the benefits when wholesale is cheaper than market but don't want the flipside when wholesale is more expensive. Obviously it got grossly expensive, but that's the peril of saying "I will just pay wholesale no matter what"
  20. Such massive overlap in the Venn diagram of the people who are bitching and complaining about why there are no service employees available and the entitled dicksmacks who made sure to yell at all the clerks/servers/cashiers about masks and vaccine policies and contributed to making shitty jobs 100000x shittier. Everyone fucking hates you and is tired of dealing with you and we all pay the price. Try being less shitty?
