    If things continue the way they are in Texas, and a lot more Republicans in power get the shit scared out of them, including loss of US Congressional House and more state legislative seats, Texas is going to get so ugly for an election cycle or two.

    But, there's not much Republicans in Texas can do to stem the tide, and in fact, they are running a serious risk of flipping it even sooner if they keep acting like fucking idiots.

    A rational GOP in Texas would be looking at flipping all of these younger voters and out-of-staters over to the GOP.

    The GOP isn't rational, and instead, they are going to make it as difficult as possible to vote for a lot of people, and that's going to serve two purposes - turn these people permanently off to the GOP, and motivate people to get out and vote.

    The Texas GOP is causing the flip.

    Out of curiosity, was this person the least bit receptive to the new info that you were trying to share?  Was he willing to open his eyes a bit or did he just bring up Hillary's emails?  My experience is these people are so brainwashed that they are not even willing to consider that there is more going on then what Fox News is telling them. 

    Yeah he was receptive. He responded “that sounds really bad.”

  3. Going to put this here. I had a conversation with an older, successful, intelligent Trump voter and we started talking about the impeachment hearings. Long story short, he was very misinformed, and he was shocked when I told him what was actually going on. He gets all his news from Fox.

    Talk to people. Tell them what's going on.

    Yep. Look what the investigation of Hillary did and she was eventually cleared. 

    Things don't work the same way for Republicans though. Like Trump, they can be dirty, they can be constantly under investigation, they can grab pussies, etc. Nothing will undo them as their voters really seem to require no ethical behavior at all from their representatives. 

    Yeah but you see, Obama was black.

  5. I played a 1/2 game a few weeks ago that was playing more like a 2/5 game. I had about $400. There were a few stacks over $1,000. One guy had over $3,000, and he was on the button.

    I'm UTG with K-K. Raise to $30 and get five callers. SB called so I'm second to act.

    Flop was A-Q-10, no flush draws. Is that ever a bet?

    I check, and it checked around.

    Turn was an A. Should I have bet? I checked, and it checked around.

    River was a 4. I check, button bets $100, SB raises to $300, I fold.

    I would have called that $100 bet all day, but my fold to the $300 raise was correct. Guy showed pocket fours.

    Did I play this hand correctly?

    $5/5

    UTG opens $20. Two callers, I join on BTN w A8ss. BB calls. $100 pot

    9s8c3h. Checks to me. I make it $55. Folds to CO who in our brief time at this new table has shown himself to be an aggressive player/bully. He looks like he’s going to fold, but then calls. $210 pot.

    9h. Chk/chk

    9c. He builds several different stack sizes and then puts each back in his stack. Finally puts out $125, leaving $300 back. I have him covered.

    Can I bet for value? No, right?

    I'm not great at poker but what's calling a value bet there?
