  1. What do you guys think about WSOP giving Will Kassouf a 10 second shot clock? I think it's karma because the guy is absolutely unbearable, I would rather listen to Martin Kabrhel 100 times out of 100 over this dipshit.
  2. Weird how the criticism of Israel is loudest in the thread about Israel, isn't it? I suppose we could start the "The 'We Actually Did 9/11' Country Has Been Genociding Yemen For 10 Years And Yet They're Still Our Allies" thread so we can criticize Saudi Arabia. Plenty of places we can take this.
  3. Interesting, I was unable to find a source for this quote with not "beliefing" this is justice, aside from the Facebook comment you pulled it from. It's certainly not in the NPR article the Facebook post was linking to. Could you provide a real source, please? I understand that reactionary conservatives such as yourself hate context. It'll be ok, little guy, it won't hurt you. Let's go ahead and provide the full quote: This is an absolutely pathetic attempt at accusing someone of antisemitism. Let's dive into the full context of this report: Global firms ‘profiting from genocide’ in Gaza, says UN rapporteur | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian “While political leaders and governments shirk their obligations, far too many corporate entities have profited from Israel’s economy of illegal occupation, apartheid and, now, genocide,” the report says. The US technology firm Palantir comes under particular criticism in the Albanese report for its close partnership with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), with which the company agreed a strategic partnership for Palantir to assist its “war-related missions”. The Albanese report also criticises heavy equipment manufacturers such as Caterpillar and Volvo for allegedly supplying heavy machinery used in mass demolitions of homes, mosques and infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank. Oh wow! Looks like her report wasn't referring to Jewish people at all, but actually a collection of international corporations that are clearly profiting off Israel's genocide. How embarrassing for you, you pathetic little weasel. You should be embarrassed, but I'm not sure you have the capacity for shame. The hilarious part is you don't realize that by continuously conflating Zionism with Judaism, you're actually the one being antisemitic. That's what cracks me up about idiot reactionary conservatives like yourself. You're just entirely oblivious to how fucking stupid you sound. The Zionists this tweet is referring to are American lobby groups (like the ADL, who has exposed itself as a completely clown shoes operation) and American Zionists, most of whom are not Jewish. You are really fucking bad at this and you should just give up before you embarrass yourself even further.
  4. Well this is certainly a play that you can make.
  5. Still plenty of other countries for Israel to bomb!
  6. I agree with everything you're saying I just think the early days of the main event are way tighter than any other tourney and most people tend to not make standard plays in an effort to not get involved in giant pots unless they flop quads or something. You're so deep and seeing so many hands that you can build up a really nice stack without a ton of risk as long as you're smart. On the flip side, Loquet's play is far from what you'd normally expect someone to do early-ish on in the main event and he got rewarded for an insanely aggressive play considering he was below the bottom of what his range should be there. I'm sure he knew exactly what his opponent had. I can only imagine the fucking rager I would get if I knew for sure that my opponent had rockets and I flop top set in the main event. Literally the #1 wet dream of an exploitative player.
  7. Lol ok, you're going to impose sanctions on a person. Got it. Good one, little Marco.
  8. Sorry about your friend.
  9. You're 100% right in a vacuum and in any other tourney, and I know it sounds like I'm being results-oriented with regard to this specific hand. I just think that (in the main event specifically) protecting your stack is just as, if not more, important than getting it in good as a heavy favorite. In this spot, you have a strong stack and your opponent has already put in more chips preflop than you would usually be able to extract from a weaker pair postflop (again, in the main event specifically). If they're calling your 6-bet jam you're dominating them either way and they definitely don't have 9s. Either way, his post flop action was not great.
  10. If you somehow are animal tobacco, which I don't necessarily believe because that guy was not nearly as good at hiding his shitty beliefs as he thought he was, you've certainly become a better poster, even if we may disagree on certain things.
  11. I should clarify and say I'm specifically talking about the WSOP main event, which plays very differently than most tourneys early on. No one is really trying to get stacks in until the bubble bursts, so yeah you absolutely jam that and your opponent is almost always folding unless they also have aces, or kings. Even queens is probably folding there. You're happier than a pig in shit to scoop that many blinds without having to see any more cards. You wouldn't really think that way about most other tourneys.
  12. It takes so little time and effort to check this kind of info, I wish people weren't so lazy.
  13. What? Lol. I know you have me on ignore but this is not even close to true. You got really upset with me because I wouldn't back you up on something dumb you said (completely unrelated to politics) on the basketball board just because we're both Tech fans. That isn't my fault or my problem. I "dislike" (stretch to even say that because I don't think you're a bad person at all) you because you frequently say dumb things and then refuse to back up what you say with anything resembling logic or reason when challenged. I don't even think your political opinions are that bad, you just operate on pure vibes and feels and seem to have no interest in learning anything. I think that is what most people find frustrating about you, aside from the cringy slap fights you constantly get in over school rivalry shit.
  14. My question would be how is it a mistake at all if that's literally what he is?
  15. Two opinions stated as opinions but ok.
  16. Lol. We know you hate objective reality and think your opinions are facts. You don't need to remind us. You're literally the poster child for this.
  17. Not necessarily, in theory, but at that point in the tourney you're absolutely taking a fold out to a 6 bet jam because you're winning a 100+ BB pot.
  18. I think it does, but probably not to the degree most people might think. DT is the subject here though.
  19. Oh yeah I watched this hand live and had the exact same thought. He 6-bet jams that I think Loquet can't put him on any other hand and folds out.
  20. Put ads on my dick
  21. Giving roy a weeklong break for that is pretty silly but honestly, @immamac is not really being all that unreasonable here and we could all stand to be a little more charitable to him considering the amount of shit he has to put up with, me included. I personally disagree with the stance he and Bob have taken with regard to the DT, and I think that what @UnivTex34 said is essentially correct. There is a lot of shitty disinformation dropped in various DT threads from sources that range from dubious to literal fake news factories, like the numerous OSINT Twitter accounts that are often (completely uncritically) used as sources of credible information that are just posting straight up foreign agitprop. Pointing this out is usually "too CR" for DT posters and gets you reported. On the flip side, I also understand there's a line and that I personally have stepped over that line a number of times so there's plenty of room for interpretation there. We're never going to get it right 100% of the time (mods and posters alike) and not everyone is going to be happy about it.
  22. Ain't nobody watching that
  23. The largest labor union in the country has officially told the ADL to fuck off: Educators Union Rejects Anti-Defamation League, Cuts Ties | Labor Notes
  24. Yeah, as an atheist, I tend to think the same way. I never shit on people sincerely offering prayer even though I don't believe in its impact because it usually demonstrates that they actually care.
