  1. Okay you PLO experts. Last night I played a live PLO hand, 8-handed, $1/$2 and we had agreed to three orbits with $5 mandatory straddle. I have about $500 and I'm the effective stack. I was invited to this home game and I don't know anybody in the hand but they all seem to know what they're doing. I'm in the straddle with QQJT, suited Q of diamonds. Early position min-opens to $10, Button calls, BB calls, I call. Flop is A-K-6 rainbow with 6 of diamonds. check, check, check, Button bets $30, which I view as strength. I call hoping to turn the nuts against a strong hand. Turn is a 6 of spades, so now K of spades and 6 of spades are on the board. I do not like this card and I check. Button also checks. River is Q of spades giving me a decent boat, but losing to quads, AAA66 and KKK66. I can get called with smaller boats and maybe a backdoor flush. Is this a mandatory value bet and fold to a raise? If so, how much should I bet? I did not bet because I am a nit. I checked, he bet $50, I call, and he shows A-x of spades for the nut flush. He also had a K, so he bet two-pair on the flop. He made this easy for me by only betting $50. If he pots it am I ever folding QQQ66? I think he bet the river thinking I'm betting all my full houses. What do you think of his play?
  2. This angers me. I grew up dirt fucking poor and without welfare I would have starved as a kid. It's simple economics -- food is cheap and the returns are high. I think these same motherfuckers would have wanted me to suffer from malnutrition. I'm 47 now and have paid god knows how much in taxes. It's been a pretty good ROI just from that standpoint.
  3. Screw that, I voted against those motherfuckers.
  4. Well, government regulations that he doesn't like.
  5. I saw a sovereign citizen in a local property tax case once. The judge shut him up real quick.
  6. Punished? What do you mean?
  7. I had actually forgotten about that.
  8. Holy shit Travis Tritt is still alive?
  9. I'm a big, big fan of soft, easy games.
  10. What are Qanoners saying about Trump's indictment? Is the storm coming soon?
  11. 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.
  12. DeSantis looks like a fool. This was simple. Did he really not have a plan for it?
  13. OMG who the fuck believes that Donald Trump wrote "Art of the Deal"?
  14. 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.
  15. A majority of Americans support these school shootings. They literally keep voting for them.
  16. I am qualified to say that the Bible doesn't mean shit except to the people who choose to give it meaning.
  17. When Trump gets arrested, I hope the cops grab him by the pussy.

  19. They don't "cater" to the bottom -- the bottom is their product that they sell to advertisers.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
