    The way our recycling works is that if there's one piece of non recyclable plastic in the bin, then everything gets trashed.  At work, in many buildings, just watch the maintenance guys dump both the trash and recycle baskets all in the same bin at night.  Basically, if you don't stay on people, they won't do right.  Which is exactly why regulation is needed.  Greed is a crime by biblical standards, and a disease, especially when a few begin to rationalize poison for profit.  

    Why do you hate freedom?

    Do you know what will be AWESOME about that?  When it happens, the climate change deniers will stand up defiantly and say "SEE!  Europe is getting COLDER!  Proof that 'global warming' is a hoax!"  I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that is exactly the path they will take.  Will the rebuttal of "holy shit, you dumbasses....it happened BECAUSE of warming causing melt which caused the current to collapse" even make a dent in their stupidity?  Come on, man.  We all know the answer to that.

    My father said this weekend that the snow in California is proof that climate change is a hoax.

    I like how you played it the whole way.

    Probably a good fold. Not too many lower limit players are willing to bluff a 100bb stack on river, and two pair almost certainly wouldn’t raise you.

    Since it’s the very beginning of your session, I’d be even more inclined to fold, not having any idea if this is the rare player willing to make a bold bluff here

    Yeah I don't think he was bluffing, but 888 is about the best hand I ever have there. Maybe I need to play more T-9 UTG. 

  4. You sit down at a card house playing $1/$2 NLH. Full table. You don't know anyone.

    Effective stack is $300. You are UTG literal first hand, and are dealt 8-8. 

    You raise to $8, and HJ, CO, Button, and BB call. $33 in pot. 

    Flop is 8-4-6 rainbow. You bet $20 targeting all kinds of shit. Button and BB call. $93 pot. 

    Turn is 7, bringing in a spade draw. Check or bet? 

    I checked and it checked through. 

    River is King of clubs, so the board reads 8-4-6-7-K, rainbow. BB checks to you. What size are you value betting here? Are you ever bet/folding? Is the button ever checking a straight on the turn with that spade draw? 

    I value bet $45 and the button jams for $227 more. I fold and he doesn't show. 

  5. Awhile back I used the area of the Mandelbrot Set, to the power of e, to solve the Riemann Hypothesis, and in the process discovered that the universe is actually made up of tiny, vibrating springs.

    I call it "Spring Theory." There are no singularities. Free will is an illusion. OU sucks.

  6. I don't really care about left of center or right of center. I just don't want to see another retarded fat fucking six-time bankrupt failed businessman elected President of the United States. 

    Fucking morons like fattie gave Trump power and I will never understand it. A lot of these people call themselves Christians too.

    What gets me is how they think he's some kind alpha male. If Trump is an alpha male to you then you need to take a long look in a mirror, and maybe try turning on the lights or something.

  7. I've been reading/posting on Longhorn sports BBS since the late 90's. I never posted on (or read) any politics boards until this country elected a six-time bankrupt failed businessman President of the United States. 

    These are probably the same Americans who speak of "American Exceptionalism."

    This is insane to me.  It's been below zero in CO for the past 3 days (we won't get our high temperature back up above freezing until Wednesday).  Not once have we been asked to conserve electricity.  

    How could Texans possibly expect it to get cold in the winter?
