  1. $200 to win $530 is probably not enough to justify calling. He has all of the sets on the flop and would probably play it exactly like this since the board was so dry Unless I’ve seen him bluff like this a fair bit I’m probably folding
  2. The other element I had to think on was his prefloo BTN call. I should be opening CO pretty wide so he should be raising me with his stronger hands. Unfortunately I hadn’t played enough with him to know if he does this. I paid to see his 99 but I was fairly confident I couldn’t be folding there. I don’t like his prefloo I like his flop I’m not sure about his turn. I think you have to keep firing I love his river. Quads and straight flush are never checking to him. Weak hands are folding to even his smallest bets so he might as well rip
  3. $2/2. With $550, I open $15 in CO w TcJs. BTN ($750) calls others fold. $34 pot 8s 9s Ts. I make it $20, BTN raises to $100. I call. $234 pot 3d. Chk chk Th. I check and he quickly jams He’s probably 30. Unknown but transferred to our table recently and max buyin is $300 so he’s competent enough to build a stack and knows how to bum hunt. All signs suggest he legit. On flop raise, I’d put him on sets, 2 pair, naked As, possibly a weak flush, or another JT. Turn check seems to eliminate a lot of that. Fast river jam is often a bluff tell. I had to tank a while on this one. What do you do
  4. Totally, plus the added discovery I can just loop 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9.
  5. Oh definitely have to be careful but the bigger ones are removed long before they become man eater size
  6. The nightly golf ball fishing is going to be fun. Only downside is I may also see a few flyers from #1 in my front yard
  7. I’m trying not to jinx it, but we close on a house Jan 30 that backs up to the #9 tee box on one of the nicer semi-private clubs in Jax. I’ll be able to walk out my back yard and loop 6, 9 or 18. Driving range is about 500 yds away. I turn 50 next week and this sets up the next 15 (?) years nicely!
  8. That's a very interesting theory. Hard to say causation, but the decrease does appear to have begun a short while after bomb pots became regular. It 100% changed the $2/5 game to become far more swing-y. It was actually funny to watch the consistently natural progression for newer players ... Never heard of bomb pots -> Get it, but struggle with it -> Randomly win a big ass pot -> Love bomb pots -> torch themselves every subsequent bomb pot -> curse bomb pots on their way out the door ... to your point, possibly never to be seen again. I would say I was guilty of wanting to get the new guys to win one or two because I knew they'd be hooked, to my future benefit I'm actually playing $2/2 now to try and rebuild my bankroll for a Vegas trip in Feb and I'm noticing a lot of other $2/5 players have migrated down to $2/2.
  9. Are you guys noticing a decline in the number of live players in your rooms? We still do fine during events and big promos, but when those aren’t going the $2/5 game most notably is taking a hit the last few months. Curious if it’s just a local phenomenon (NE FL) or happening in TX too
  10. From the new Leprous live show. Would love to see this in person
  11. You’ll be swimming in $5 offers. They won’t leave me alone now. It’s not even worth $5 imo. I’d rather Apple Music just DJ for me
  12. Played in a pair of wide cleats today, though I’ve never felt I needed wide shoes in general, and found them to be excellent for comfort (I walk) and also stability. Curious if anyone else has tried this that doesn’t normally wear wide shoes
  13. Good call. I’m going to give a closer look to the Costco bag tomorrow
  14. The Team Edge walking bags are absolute trash. Are you guys seeing any other Longhorns walking bags locally? Online it’s pretty much only this TE garbage and jacked up Nike bags on eBay.
  15. I run a game every weekend. 20 players last Sunday. However, we use GHIN handicaps so any team combo is balanced by strokes given to each player.
  16. Cantlays new putting coach is named Phil Canyon, which is a great putting coach name … but an even better porn star name
  17. Handi is looking good! You’re about to lose a low score, though, so need to shoot a good round next time out to keep lowering it
  18. Odds are pretty good the card reader was wrong
  19. Has anyone seen a good explanation of who introduced that in the first place and why?
  20. I, too, shot a 39 on the front this morning. Paired nicely with a 50 on the back
  21. They’ve got the course redesign architect on Live From and he’s doing a hole by hole review of his design decisions. REALLY cool discussion if you’re into that stuff. He just finished the front 9 so you can still catch the back live but I’m sure they’ll replay this. Gil Hanse is his name
  22. Thought I’d take a shot at the precut ribs at Costco. Only cooked 2 of the 5 (wtf?) and they still took 6.5 hours at 215-240* Came out great
