  1. Excellent legal analysis. No wonder UT law took you for your third year.
  2. This is just so bizarre. Why are all these people getting sick? What happened to their immune systems?
  3. Pretty sure she'll be a state senator soon.
  4. What's sad to me is that there was over five times more equity than the outstanding indebtedness, not counting fees and default interest. The bank was certainly adequately protected. But hey, the bank just wants to get its money back, right?
  5. I’ve been referring these cases out. I know one suit has been filed.
  6. One thing I’ve seen recently is the attorneys conducting the foreclosure sale taking, in my opinion, unconscionable fees for conducting the foreclosure. They see all that extra money and can’t keep their hands off of it.
  7. Just got a new file on my desk involving a foreclosure in Round Rock. Substantial, substantial equity. Looks like the homeowners listed it at the last minute and it closed after the foreclosure sale.
  8. It'd be a bunch of words written on paper.
  9. Yes, this is really about being told what to do. People like freedom, and they don't really care if that freedom kills a lot of people and creates a lot of misery. But at the same time, when a private company puts in rules to provide a safe work environment, they bitch and complain, because they realize they don't have as much sovereignty as they'd like to have.
  10. It appears to be stupidity. This is a protected class nowadays.
  11. I don't know Wisconsin law on this subject, so take this with a grain of salt, but the trial court not allowing evidence of the defendant saying that he wanted to shoot looters seems to me to be devastating to the prosecution's case. I'm curious if the court is committing error there. If there was video of the Pinkerton security guard in the Denver shooting expressing a desire to shoot unruly protesters, should that be excluded?
  12. Lol wtf
  13. 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.
  17. This is like watching people drive off a cliff while denying that the cliff is there.
  18. Ummm, we getting a follow up here? He found out.
  19. 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.
  20. Guess how this story ends.
  21. It takes some guts to argue that vaccine mandates are illegal because of Roe v. Wade.
  22. The problem with some really smart people is they think they know everything.
  23. What does your doctor say?
  24. 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.
