  1. Had a banger last Friday:

    Landed 33 in first position and opened with a $30 bet with $1/$2 blinds. All fold save three and flop comes JhKd8d so I fire again at $100 hoping to push out any flush chasers. One folds and the turn comes 4s, so I follow it will another $100 and get two callers. River comes 7d and I check, with the other parties following suit.

    I meekly turn over 33 assuming it was all for not, but both my opponents had rags, one with A high.

    Just a silly pot that gave me all kinds of momentum and I didn’t really look back, eventually cashing $1300. Not bad for four hour’s work...

  2. Parnas is asking Barr to recuse himself, on the basis that there would be a conflict of interest, and specifically that Barr slowed down the release of documents and has blocked US attorneys of the SDNY from meeting with Parnas, because if he was able to make a deal, it would hurt the President. We live in interesting, albeit shitty, times. (Disclaimer: there have been plenty of other times prior shittier than ours, I just thought we had evolved.)

    It will never happen, but Barr really needs to see the inside of a prison cell for a prolonged duration.

  3. Good Bourbon Pursuit pod this week, Episode 236. It’s about distributors. 
    As expected, no transparency, pay for play, system of insider favors, and plenty of swag. I found the fight between liquor stores and bars for allocated bottles pretty interesting. 

    Buddy who owns a local bar is attempting to secure some of the unicorns I posted a while back. Gonna be very interesting to see what comes back from the distributor!
  4. I can't understand how this is possible... but California...

    It’s really a different world out west. Oh how I miss having easy access to Weller at $50-60 and RVW for $80-$100 :(
  5. I bought a store pick of Sagamore from the Oak Cabinet in Austin. It wasn’t cask strength, but damn it was good. Maryland’s reputation for making good ryes is well deserved. 

    One of my favorite parts of the tour was an interactive map of pre-prohibition Maryland where you could explore every distillery. Blows my mind that at one point there were over 50 in the state and really nothing survived outside of a few brands, Pikesville being one of them.

  6. Which offering was your favorite? Great distillery. They’re certainly on the list. 

    Their Double Oak is outstanding and I also enjoy the Cask Strength.



    Did a little stock analysis after the holiday dent and moved things around. I keep telling people that I don’t have a problem.m, but they’re not apt to believe me...

  7. We stopped by Sagamore here in Baltimore last week and finally did the tour, which was excellent. Got to try 4 of their rye offerings along with two limited releases: a rum barrel and a cognac which was housed in 30yo Remy barrels.

    Highly recommend the tour if you’re in town and their rye in general.

  8. I keep wondering why retail hasn’t moved up to match demand.  Moving Eagle Rare to $50 and Blanton’s to $100 would slow the velocity and improve margin.

    Do distillers/distributors have any control there? I assume they’d prefer the situation as it currently stands.
