  1. Here’s a pic plus my wife’s GIANT brioche French toast.
  2. Who among us hasn’t dusted off 1700 big blinds in 2.5 hours?
  3. Recommend The Henry at Cosmo for breakfast Tue. Short rib benedict is A+.
  4. It would add 3 hours, but that's not the problem, the problem is that the gravitational pull of NOLA would keep me from ever making it to Memphis to begin with.
  5. So I'm driving from Austin to Memphis area next Wed, and back on Sun, and we have a forecast for rain for my entire drive on Wed, gas prices to the moon, and now this cramming all cross-river traffic onto the 55 bridge causing delays. Wheeee!
  6. Yeah, we were there April 18-25 and would mirror what CTJ said. We still had a great time overall, but "noticeable and stunning" would be very accurate. We added The Henry (Cosmo) to our rotation, and really liked it. It's open for late night and breakfast/brunch. I had a short rib benedict that was awesome and my wife had a brioche French toast that was ginormous and delish. Restaurants on the fly were also pretty tricky. We wanted to do Yardbird at the V, I busted my tournament, so we tried to get added to the list and literally they wouldn't take any more names and it was like 715 with them closing at 10. We booked a next-night reservation. We enjoyed it, but was tough after a full day drinking and sunning at the pool, so need another shot at some point. We ate at: Grand Lux Mon Ami Gabi Secret Pizza Yardbird Peppermill Wicked Spoon Gordon Ramsay Pub The Henry Andiamo Bouchon and didn't have a single bad meal or experience. Def check out Circa downtown!
  7. Thanks! We aren't super serious, but had that impression off of Bali Hai also. I looked at Cascata, and it looks INCREDIBLE, but my skills and wallet can't justify close to that price tag. I'll look into Summerlin also, thanks again!!
  8. Cross-posting from golf thread: Looking at some June Vegas golf, any thoughts on: Reflection Bay TPC Vegas Bear's Best Rio Secco Bali Hai We are also possibly looking at Paiute, hell of a deal for $185 for 36 holes, lunch, and rental clubs.
  9. My wallet and skillset can unfortunately not justify Cascata, but it does look amazeballs.
  10. Best place to get some re-grips done in N. Austin/Cedar Park/Round Rock? Also looking at some June Vegas golf, any thoughts on: Reflection Bay TPC Vegas Bear's Best Rio Secco Bali Hai We are also possibly looking at Paiute, hell of a deal for $185 for 36 holes, lunch, and rental clubs.
  11. Great episode last night. Really made me root for Brian Jr, he seems like a fantastic dude. And JFC Melanie did not age well. She’s only 55. I waited tables in college at Cracker Barrel in Oklahoma and she looked like the person in the smoking section that never stopped smoking and tipped you a dollar on their $30 tab.
  12. The level of tragedy is just reinforced by that graphic with the birth year starting with a 2 for fucks sake. Uggggggghhhh.
  13. play good run good LFG
  14. 🤘 to the Ehlinger family and Longhorn Nation from this Sooner. How fucking terrible.
  15. Hard to say. I think sometimes "almost folding" the turn when the player donked flop, an OESD hits on turn, then they check and "almost fold" is because he has the straight. Also some of the "almost folding" hands can be something like 99 that we already beat and won't call river. Also, probably the most likely "almost folding" top pair was QJ, which is now two pair. I think targeting basically exactly KJ and AJ and hoping he finds a fold for a 1/3 pot river shove is optimistic. That said, I certainly have done basically exactly that in the moment. As Lurch posted earlier, always clearer in the cold light of day.
  16. Don't love the TT hand. Ironically, I do think a 3b pre is good and you don't like that you did it. I'd go slightly larger but being in position, think your sizing is fine also. On the flop, I'd just call. We have a medium hand, let's play a medium pot. Trying to get someone to fold top pair is not how to make money at NLHE IME. He can be probing, can have 76, can have a jack. We like 2 of those things, and raising just folds out the weak hands and not the strong ones. On the turn, check back. Most obv draw on the flop completed. So either he has a jack, a straight, or something we are way ahead of. We won't get value out of something we are way ahead of (I guess he could very rarely have 87s and stabbed flop with gutty and bdfd hoping you have AK/AQ or fold TT/99/etc.). River checkback is good, can't extract any value, pot too big to get him to fold a jack IMO. The line we took on flop and turn should be with a polarized range with our nutted hands and our weakest hands with no SDV, not our middle strength hands like TT. Also if we do that, should prob just jam turn for a pot sized bet, rather than going 150 into 480 then 275 into 780 or 200 into 480 and then 225 into 880. Leaving 1/3 - 1/4 pot size jam on river is pretty rough if we want any bluff combos. And if we go one sizing for value and one for bluffs, that will fall apart fairly quickly, esp with streaming.
  17. Such a boss move to be able to link vid instead of just text history! Pre is pretty marginal if opponents are solid. I like calling there if villains are bad, especially if they love giving up post. Just not able to fold post, he can't have a hand that really has you fucked. You're 28% against QQ, which is worst case, and only 1 combo of that obv. 50% against AA (no spade), 44% against AA with spade, 52% against AKss, 77% against JTss, and 34% against Q9. You're calling $428 to win $673 more, so you need 428/1101 or 39% equity. So slightly losing against his exact hand. But against a range of QQ+, 99, 55, AQs, Q9s, AKss, JTss, we have 50%, so a hugely winning call. (I didn't include AQo to account for him maybe folding some AQ combos, dunno how likely that is, but adding all AQ just drops us to 49%). Our equity goes up a bit to 51% if he has other nut flush spade combos also, since we are beating those. Our equity also goes up if he can also have 95s combos.
  18. Exactly. SB is atrocious flatting 54o out of position not closing the action.
  19. These are the critical factors but I would say readless at a table with big open sizing, given the positions, it’s over-aggressive.
  20. Feels a touch weak, but I would just call here. Def not folding. I would call expecting to mostly win. Problem with raising is he can fold a lot that we beat, and casket stuffs us always when he's winning. In other words we are in good shape against his leading range, but not as much against his "calling a river jam" range. Him leading the turn is going to be 2 pair or a flush draw a good amount. We lose to a lot of those hands now. He could have a queen of course, but given your line is he just gonna call a river jam with QJ? Obv if we have a read that he overvalues hands and loves calling, jam it. It def feels annoying to just call and he flips 42cc over like it's the nuts, but also remember the annoyance of him just snapping a jam with Q9.
  21. All of that, not to mention the constant struggle to not let emotions outweigh what you know is the right play. I pride myself in doing that in casino poker, not folding out of fear, not getting stubborn, not punting b/c I lost most of my chips. But I have a couple of low-dollar online leagues I play some with friends, and some of those people make the most raggedy donk plays and it's hard to not just decide "fuck this clown" and just try to run over everyone, and end up punting off. It's like flying down the lane and some big goofy white bastard is in the way, and you just decide "I'm dunking on this goof" and drawing a charge.
  22. Agreed. No way to fold AQdd on Q75dd. So then your task is to get the money in the widest possible for your opponent. Against an aggro opp who has initiative, I'd just c/call all the way. With $100 in the pot, and $160 behind, will be easy to get stacks in. And there really are only 3 cards we dislike, the non-diamond kings. Readless or against someone who likes to pot control, I'd c/r flop smallish then barrel. If I have initiative, I'd lead-lead-jam, never folding.
  23. Wynn running a $10k with $10M guarantee this summer. That's sexy! They also are doing a $1600 buyin with mystery bounties. 🔥
