  1. I'd like to settle down but they won't let me,
    A fugitive must be a rolling stone.
    Down every road there's always one more city,
    I'm on the run, the highway is my home.

  2. I was at a table like that once at Rounders, but I didn't know it. First hand, I was dealt JJ UTG and I folded to a cold 5-bet preflop shove. It was like 3-3 v. 9-T suited v. Q-K suited. I remember the turn was a J.

    Never got dealt another hand worth playing.

    I'm not saying that CNN or MSNBC doesn't have elitist types at the top as well but it's a complete farce for anyone to think that Fox News is anything but elite types who only cater to the bottom for $. And they hate their audience more than anyone.

    They don't "cater" to the bottom -- the bottom is their product that they sell to advertisers.

    What was your fourth street card? Assume it wasn’t the suit of your AK? I don’t hate folding with two people pairing middling door cards with an ace also dead for your two pair draw. Reasonable chance at least one of them made trips, especially if they aren’t complete morons.

    It was some brick, like 5 of hearts or something.

    Yeah, I feel pretty good about my fold right now. I probably call heads up but multiway I was probably in bad shape.

  5. I am new to 7-card stud. I raised first to act after the bring-in with AK suited, K showing. Four callers, showing an A, 8, T, and the bring-in called.

    Fourth street paired both the 8 and the T, and the T leads out with a big bet.

    I folded, thinking he didn't seem too concerned with me or the A, and honestly I assumed the 8 has two-pair there quite a bit. But is that a good assumption? He could have a flush or straight draw. And can I really fold a pair of Kings to one bet in this situation?

    Spoiler: The 8 folded on seventh street. The T bet every street.

    It seems to me that blind size means little, especially in Texas. $1/3 games play like $2/5 and $2/5 play like $5/10 and so on. Average buy-in seems to be more relevant. 

    Yes, and that makes them exploitable.

    Evangelicals (at least some of them, I’ve had conversations with them)don’t believe that Catholics are Christians. So…

    I was taught that all Catholics are going to hell.
