  1. NLH question for the board. Say you open early position, say UTG or UTG+1, and you get multiple callers, and the flop is something like T-9-8 or T-9-7 with a flush draw or monotone. How often are you c-betting? If so, with what?

    That was my point.

    Yes, because everyone has a salary.

    xx% of what? Income? Good luck defining income.
  5. This is like watching people drive off a cliff while denying that the cliff is there.
  6. Ummm, we getting a follow up here? He found out.
  7. How reliable are blockers when putting people on ranges in PLO? 5-handed limped pot yesterday, with a pretty passive, easy table. The flop was J diamonds, 8 hearts, 4 diamonds, and I have A-9 of diamonds, J of clubs, 7 of spades. Check, check, I bet 50% of pot with my top top, nut flush draw, and backdoor straight draw, and the cutoff pots it. We're very deep. I didn't know the player very well, but he seemed a bit splashy. What ranges would you put him on? It folded to me and I called. The turn was 7 of hearts, I checked, he bet 60% of pot, and I called. He could have 9-T for a straight, a set, and maybe also a backdoor flush draw. But since I had a 9, I discounted him having 9-T. River was J of spades, giving me the second nuts and blocker to the nuts. I checked, he bet 60% of the pot and instantly folded to a little more than a min check-raise, which surprised me. I don't think he's snap-folding a full house there. He might've bet his straight for value with a plan to fold to any raise with the board pairing. If I had 9-T in his shoes, I would have checked the river. Is that a bad play in the long term? The board was J-8-4-7-J rainbow.
  8. It takes some guts to argue that vaccine mandates are illegal because of Roe v. Wade.
  9. The problem with some really smart people is they think they know everything.
  10. I’ve had many bank clients and they’re all different. And they all have different special assets officers. Based on my experience, it’s simplistic to say “they just want their money back.” I have a pending litigation case right now where that pretty clearly isn’t true. I started doing foreclosures in 2009, after the financial crisis, and have been clamoring for foreclosure reform since then. Nothing has changed in the last twelve years.
  11. And they should. But the problem is they don’t want to sell, and in Texas we can do a nonjudicial foreclosure very quickly.
  12. Many Texans seem to think that if someone is trespassing on your land you can kill them at will.
  13. I've posted before about this QAnon girl I know who lives in California. She's 45. We were having our monthly discussion on the vaccines and the state of the world, and she told me that she spends a lot of time crying. Which is not surprising, but I hadn't really thought of it before. I hadn't considered what it must be like to: 1. Actually believe that Trump actually won all 50 states, including California, but because of voter fraud the Communist Joe Biden is President. 2. Actually believe that Satan-worshiping pedophiles are in charge of our country. 3. Actually believe that the vaccine is designed to kill people. 4. Actually believe that Covid is fake and hospitals are killing people. 5. Actually believe that Donald Trump is some kind of successful businessman. When you think about it, it's quite sad. She's trapped in her own head.
  14. A problem with guns is they're a lot of fun and people look for opportunities to use them when they shouldn't.
  15. Why do Texans keep electing these carpetbaggers?
  16. Yeah he put himself in a bad spot. But your back-raise looks so darn strong.
  17. I've been playing PLO for just over a year now. I'm making more money than NLH but damn, the swings. What do you think about how the BB played that hand?
