    Agreed.  Even at a 1-3 you should be buying in for at least $300.  If your bankroll allows I would also match the big stack if allowable and possible.  If you have the discipline I always want the max behind me when the nuts come along.  In these crazy card house games someone is almost always willing to call you off. 

     

    I will always match the big stack (or reasonably close) and have at least two more buy ins in pocket just in case.

    Igloo didn’t keep up with Americans being 25% heavier over the years. They rested on their 1970 laurels when a fat guy was 190.

    This is certainly true. They created the segment and I agree it was needed.

    I remember growing up we had igloo coolers. On one of our sailboats, the cooler was used as a step to get down below as well as its intended purpose of cooling beer. We had igloo's for years and aside from replacing the latches every couple of years, they lasted very well. Fast forward to the late 90's and their quality had declined measurably. We ended up having to replace coolers frequently because the lid would crack from 200 lb people stepping up and down on top of them. If you stuck with the marine line, they were slightly better.  But the ice retention and durability left a lot to be desired. 

    I am glad yeti came along and I get the early adopters, but all these years later it is absurd to me to pay the premium. I completely get it though.

    Also due to the family selling out to PE.  PE comes in and the first thing they do is cut costs and quality goes down.

    Can someone translate this for me? Is the entry the actual money you pay and the "buy-in" is starting chips? or the other way around?

    The actual money you pay is both the buy in and the entry.  The buy in goes to the prize pool and the entry goes to the Casino.  Typical starting chip amounts in these kind of events is anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000. 

    click on the blue link for each event and it will show you the starting amount of chips and the blind structure.

    I'm still baffled how Minute Maid Park doesn't have hot dog vendors walking up and down the seated sections and it seems like the majority of the beer vendors at the seats are cash only. How can you buy a Chik Fil A sandwich at your seats but not a damn hot dog.

    And how can the Club's flagship radio station not have a strong enough signal to reach Katy at any point after the sun goes down.  If I ever ran into Reid at the games that was going to be the first question out of my mouth to him.  There may have been a good answer but I sure can't think of it if there is.

     

     

     

     

  5. How about offering something really unconventional like 1 year $60/65 million to try and keep the band together for one more year so he has an excellent chance at (hopefully another) ring and then go off to Cali for $300 million in 2021.

    When I’m at a fast food restaurant with a half a cup of undrunken coke, I hate depositing it into the trash can, knowing that eight hours later some poor sap has to empty the trash, getting coke all over themselves and creating a coke trail from the trash can to the dumpster out back. Drives me crazy.

    Same here.  I just leave the cup on top of the trash cover with the trays and let the workers decide if they want to throw it in the can or not.  Not sure if that is an asshole move or not but If I was the one responsible for emptying the trash I would appreciate it.  

  7. Not as pretty as the Hill Country and West Texas parks but Brazos Bend offer up close encounters with these guys that make it worth while.   Lots of good trails with tons of good photo ops if your into animal photog.

  8. Seems like they didn't have a true cliffhanger cause maybe they were thinking there wouldn't be a Season 3.  But if that was the case, you would think that they would have filmed two different finales just in case.
