  1. Another question for the board. You sit down at a full 1/2 table with 300. You watch about twenty hands and half the table is loose aggressive. Lots of all-ins.

    After half the people limp, You look down at the cutoff at QQ and raise to $30. Button calls, BB calls, and two people who limped call. 3 of the 4 callers are loose aggressive. Flop is A-3-5 rainbow. It checks to you, you check, and the button bets $50. It folds to you and you call.

    the button doesn’t look like much of a player. He whipped out about $10,000 in cash to buy in for the max, $300.

    Turn is a 9. Check check.

    River is a 2. Bet your QQ for value?

    Say you checked and the button shoved. Call?

  2. Pay was top three. Everyone was pretty shallow at this point and nobody had more than 35 BB. I had only played with the button at the final table and he hadn’t played many hands. He did raise/fold at least once. 

    I figured he had 10+, AQ suited+. I didn’t think he’d fold and I had just called an all-in with AJ offsuit three hands before.

    Anyway, I called, spiked an Ace, checked, and called his all-in. He turned over QQ.

  3. Question for the board:

    I played a 30-person tournament on Wednesday, and we're down to the final six. I had 25 BB and looked down UTG at Ace of spades and King of clubs. I raised to 3.5 BB, and it folded to the button, who had a 23 BB stack and raised it to 10 BB. It folded back to me.

    If I call, there are 21.5 BB in the pot and I only have 15 BB remaining with the button having 13 BB. Is this a mandatory 4-bet shove?

    That's not the way it works.  They both got read in when they got their security clearances and understood the penalty for mishandling classified information.  He took pictures of a classified engine room knowing it was illegal and cell phone got traced back to him and he went to jail.  She knowingly put classified information into a private server knowing it was illegal but decided she was above the law and got caught then tried to play stupid mere weeks after bragging about how tech savvy she was and then playing the old, I'm just a senile grandma act.  She walks because she is Hillary Clinton.  

    Wow maybe the FBI should investigate Hillary or something.

  5. When I was at business school at UT in the 90s, I took some international economics classes. Free trade was all the rage back then. I also took NAFTA at UT Law School. So I hope that qualifies me as someone who's interested in the subject.

    When Trump started attacking free trade, I truly was interested in discourse about the costs/benefits of free trade and free trade agreements. I'm still waiting on that. The only thing I've ever seen is Trump being pissed at trade deficits for some reason. If he's ever said why then I missed that. I suppose it's blaming those damn foreigners or something like that.

    And yet it’s the USA the one with the half trillion dollar trade deficit year after year. Not Canada, not Europe, and most definitely not fucking China. These countries with a trade surplus against the USA, mainly China and Japan before it, have been using the extra dollars they end up with to buy US treasury bonds, keeping the game going. So see, it will be a shitshow if the USA attempts to balance its trade, but if nothing were done to balance trade, the outcome would inevitably also be a shitshow. I think I saw somewhere that 40% of shipping containers that arrive at US ports with shit from abroad, leave empty. Why is it so hard for people to understand that you can’t do that indefinitely?

    Can't do what indefinitely? Buy a bunch of shit? What's wrong with trade deficits?

  7. I certainly think Trump had something to do with #metoo. I mean, the country had just elected as president a person who bragged about sexually assaulting women and then dismissed it as "locker room talk." There's more on the way, too. Having the most despicable, immoral, corrupt, moronic, person imaginable as president will cause the good people of this country to rise up.
