  1. Jay was asked about the future of match play on the Tour and he’s clearly an advocate. It will be back somewhere, just not in 2024
  2. Scottie gets Rory and Rahm in his group. I may try to sneak out to follow that one.
  3. Official now... This is the final year for Match Play on the Tour https://www.kxan.com/sports/2023-wgc-dell-technologies-match-play-to-be-last-in-austin/
  4. Hell, the only reason I came to this thread was to find out what I needed to be overreacting about for the next 6 months.
  5. Jordan’s putts are nightmare fuel
  6. I’m here for the 7 man playoff
  7. We’ve got ourselves a tourney
  8. Are Omaha Steaks always a rip-off? Someone gave us a $100 gift card and I’m pretty sure I’m still overpaying even if I use it during their half off sale.
  9. Murdoch admitted to sharing the ads with Jared in his deposition to Dominion and they then used that as evidence in a filing last week
  10. $2/5. Sit with $800 and wait two hands for button to pass. I would usually just jump right in, but I’m going to play super solid tonight and run this $800 up proper. UTG opens to $25. He appears to be tonight’s target as I know all the other players. Middle aged white dude, sitting on ~$1200. MP calls and I join in CO w 8d8s. No other callers. $75 pot. Qc8c4h. UTG bets $35. MP calls. Let’s juice this up a hair. I raise to $100. UTG calls quickly but sadly MP folds. $305 pot. Kh. UTG checks. I didn’t get the feeling he liked that card. Figure I’ll make it a price he can’t resist and bet out $125. He bites and we go to the river. $555 pot. 2h. Would have liked to boat up, but this looks like a good river for me. He checks and I see how he feels about $175. He jams. Tha fuck? The only thing that gets there is a back door flush. KK, QQ or KQ wouldn’t be so passive on that turn. It either has to be a flush or a bluff. Nothing about this guy suggests he’s able to make a bluff here. That said …. FUCK! I can’t really lay this down, right?!? Right!?! I call. He shows AhQh and I’m fucked on the first hand of the night. Off to play super solid on $2/2, I guess…
  11. I’ll have to miss this year. If you’re an MLife guy, Cosmo may be on it soon. That would be an ideal place to stay with easy access to Paris
  12. There were honest to god Tim Pool fans on this site not too many years ago. Just incredible
  13. I’d like to hear him explain what he thinks being thrown “under the table” means
  14. Mastodon is good once you put in the effort to build your follow list. It will suck initially until you do.
  15. I believe the prevailing theory is that an excellent pro maxes out at about 20 big blinds per hour as an average over 1000+ hours. So, if you were willing to put in 40 hrs a week playing $2/5 (and had access to games that paid you that well throughout, Ie not nit games at 2pm on Tuesdays), you could expect to pull $200k year. To play $2/5, you want max buyin on the table, which can be anywhere from $500 to $1500. It’s $800 here in Jax. Your bankroll always needs to be more than 20 max buyins due to variance, so you’d want a starting bankroll of $15-30k at least. Probably double that to account for the inevitable swing of you playing bad (not just variance) $500k target would probably require you to very carefully select your games when picking your 40 hours (Ie 2am at a casino w a club) to try to pull it off at $2/5 Of course $5/10 or $10/25 will certainly pay a pro better, but obviously your competitors will be significantly better too. I’d guess these guys play a very whale-dependent schedule and your ability to get into those games is probably slim.
  16. Respect the passive aggressive game
  17. I’ve got to believe at some point singular smart roads will make more sense than various smart vehicles.
