  2. Wind is blowing out to left field
  3. There's a newly created thread if you want to argue about last years defense and personnel. Further posts on that topic in this thread will earn some time off.
  4. this is the transfer thread. Take this defensive coaching slapfight somewhere else. Off topic posts will be taking time off
  5. Made it home alive. Pro tip: Don't anchor in the middle of Lake Austin with one tiny light when it's pitch dark outside. I almost hit your dumb ass.
  6. If there’s a boat crash on lake austin tonight it’s me. got to able’s/hula hut at 6:30. Hula hut is closed so went to ables. Everyone else went too. Waited an hour for a table and over an hour for food. Got on waitlist at 6:30 and am waiting on check now
  7. if you'd like to discuss gun control, your team, the other team, voting and associated shit there's a board for that that has a thread for that. This thread is for news about this incident.
  8. I don’t mind being anchored near a boat with their tunes cranked up, but could you turn it down when it sounds like a 20 year old car stereo from Walmart?
  9. Stepped outside to go get the murder hornet and was stung by a hornet. Alanismorsette.gif
  10. They look like plastic speed bumps from a parking lot
  11. Is there anything in life better than playing in a tournament 8 hours, outlasting 124 people and finishing 20th when top 15 get paid?
  12. We had a buick skylark when I was a kid. My mom always wanted a Cadillac and I remember her seeing the Cimarron and saying they finally made one for me. Sounds like it was lucky she didn't get one.
  13. if you don't need the handicap in a separate column and are just looking at it why not instead of =A1 do a =CONCAT(A1,concat(" (",concat(A2,")"))) which will result in a "FJ (5)" concat on google docs only allows 2 items thus the messy syntax
  14. I've tried to find the formula but all I can find are some vauge descriptions of it but I think it's like this, if anyone knows better please correct me. The state sets a value per student and then the school district has to send anything above that to the state. Found this graph when trying to figure it out. Houston has only 1.34 times the tax base, but 2.8 times the number of students. So they get to keep more of the money they collect as it's based on the number of students you have.
  15. Had a bit of excitement today that I was not expecting. 13yo was wakeboarding and dropped the rope so I circled back to get him. We get to him and he says he wants to keep going but in the other direction due to getting close to the dam and the water being so cold. I had shut off the engine as I thought he was done and the wind was heavy and was blowing the boat on top of him. I tell the 11yo to get the rope so I don't run over it and of course he can't pay attention to anything for more than ten seconds and starts talking about how crowded the lake is and we should keep going to the damn. I ask him if the rope is good and he says yes so I back up to get away from 13 year old and end up running over the rope and it gets stuck in the propeller. Go to the glove box to get the knife and of course it's not there. 13yo tries to untangle but can't, so I get in the water and immediately go into shock/can't breathe due to the water being so cold so get out. 13yo starts cutting the rope using channel locks. We're about 30 feet from a dock of a nice house and several people were on the dock so I told the 11yo to go swim to the dock and ask the guy if we can borrow a knife. Guy on the dock asks if we want to instead get the boat on his lift and I gladly accept. By the time they got their boat out of the lift we drifted about 100 yards down so he ended up getting his jet ski and towed me over. We get the boat up on the lift, I get in the water and make my way around and the rope is only around one propeller blade and twisted. In less than a minute I have it untangled and off the propeller, but of course it's already ruined by my kid trying to cut it so it's trashed. I ask how I can repay the dude and he says you can't do a thing for me, just pay it forward and help someone else out with boat trouble. So someone somewhere has help coming from me without question, not that I wouldn't have done it anyway. Looked through the truck and garage and can't find my knife I keep on the boat, now starting to wonder if some kids in the neighborhood swiped it. Realize now the biggest mistake I made was not dropping anchor immediately once I knew the rope was tangled, we could have easily washed up on dirt or into a boat dock. Second is not making sure I have a knife on board at all times. Third is not telling kid to be quiet and mind the rope.
  16. He brought his luckbox and won several hands he shouldn't have but still dumped at least $4k from 7pm-4am. Last hand I play he gets head up with Lakeway Mark and on the river pots and Mark calls by throwing out a chip. Mr. Lee sees he lost and then claims he didn't pot it. Floor comes over and makes him pay. Mark said it happened two more times after I left. I ended up losing $300 on the night but consider it a victory as I went the first two hours without winning a hand and was down $800 at that point.
  17. BigO featuring Mr Lee at Red Star tonight.
  18. no, unless you're into chubby 50-60 year olds
  19. In the monday night big o tournament at the lodge there is at least 2 hands that a large argument breaks out over who has the low. It's the A2 vs A7 on a 2378 board that usually causes the most confusion. Everyone assumes the A2 wins but both people are playing A2378 so it's a push. My all time favorite was a big o bomb pot. Big o bomb pots play ultimate high, ultimate low. So best hand on either board wins the high, best low on either board wins the los. Top board 873xx, bottom board A24. I had 53 giving me a wheel/nut low she had A2 giving her a A2873 low. She argued with the dealer for about 5 minutes that it's impossible for A2 to not be the low if there's no ace or two on the board. They had to call the floor over. She's now a dealer at the lodge.
  20. around $2k in the wrong direction
  21. There are entire villages in sub-Saharan Africa that think the Bills are 5 time super bowl champs
  22. Had an interesting tournament last night at shuffle. They do a plo freeroll every Sunday at 7pm with $1500 guaranteed. Generally around 10-15 players. Daily seat fee is $10, tournament entry is $30. Top 3 get paid. So about 20% chance to cash, and with about half the players having no clue I'm sure it's higher than that. First is $750 so 1 in 15 to turn $40 into $750. About 3 hands in a guy at the other end of the table asks "This isn't Texas hold em is it?" Guy then goes on a heater, going from $10k to over $100k in a couple of hands. One hand had AxKcJx flop, turn and river are small clubs, strong player potted all three bets and he called them all, turns over his hand and says "I only have a pair of Jacks". He failed to notice his Jack and four were clubs, giving him a flush. Strong player was livid, mumbling "fucking flush you didn't even know you had." I add on $20k figuring I should be able to double up against him at some point. A few hands later blinds are $500-$1k, get AAQJ, raise to $3k, he raises to $10k, I repot to $34k. Flop is Kxx with two hearts and he jams, I assume he's got pocket kings but pot is $100k and I only have around $10k left so I call. Turn is J, river 10 giving me broadway. No other hearts come. He proudly turns over his hand and proclaims "Nut Flush". I panic for a second and then look back at board and there's only 2 hearts. I look at his hand and it's AT86, all hearts. He is shocked and pissed he can't use 3 cards in his hand for the flush. A few hands later I get AA again and it holds up and I double through him again and he's down from $100k to less than $10k. I figured that was it but he pulled out $100 and added on to get $50k more in chips. A few hands later he's moved to other table and atm is closed. Strong player is livid he never got a chance to get his chips back. A couple of hands after he leaves I get a tap on the shoulder to move to the other table. I get all excited to get the rest of that guys money and I get to the table and he's not there. He just got knocked out. Average stack at that time was about $75k, I had $150k and I look over and a guy is still stacking chips and has about $600k, over half the money in play. I play one hand at the new table and we then move to the final table. Giant stack ends up to my right, I get AA on 3 of the first 4 hands at the final table and win all 3, stack 2 others and now have $400k to his $600k and no one else has $100k. Big stack ends up dumping all but $30k to another guy over a series of hands, but then slowly starts getting it back. Other players are all out and down to final 3 and they keep going back and forth. Finally the original big stack calls an all in with KQ on a KJT9 board with 3 diamonds and the other guy was on a semi-bluff with 2 pair. We get heads up and get it all in when I hit a strait with 63. Unfortunately he had 63 too. Then I get KKJJ double suited and we got it all in preflop and he had AA93. First card out K, turn A and it's all over as the river's a brick. Won $493 after putting in $80. Capped a good week after finishing 6th out of 144 entries in Monday BigO at lodge and having a couple of nice cash sessions on line. Much better than the previous month.
