  1. I say this as a four year marching band nerd in HS… dear god stop saying this (I’m presuming you’ve used this line in the real world many times too). It’s not the badge of honor you seem to think it is
  2. Terribly sorry your amazing, talented kid has an incredible life ahead of him in the lower half of the top .1%. Fight the power
  3. One of the talking heads said shortly after the charges were posted that the govt likely had a larger selection of docs to choose from and only made charges with the ones in the sweet spot of 1) sufficiently damning and 2) capable of being at least somewhat exposed to the defendant, lawyers and jury. #1 would exclude something trivial like a daily travel schedule and #2 would exclude something like foreign agent identifiers
  4. I think the standard open size would be 16-20k pre, but obviously 24k is fine too. SB should prob have raised or folded pre. I’m going to raise his donk bet. It’s typically either a draw or him saying you shouldn’t have caught that flop, so raising makes him pay to chase and reestablishes your range as strong going into the turn. Check check on turn prob happens regardless of our line on flop. Played my line, I probably have to fold river thinking he only stayed in with flush draw or spiked the King for two pair As played, I like your call.
  5. I actually buy the story that he didn’t really have the doc in hand. It was too convenient for him to just happen to have on hand for that discussion. You know it absolutely killed him to have to admit he was bullshitting to his cult, though
  6. What an awesome pic to have for life
  7. Pence is known for being “funny” behind the scenes. His presentation to the rest of us is apparently a remarkable transformation. I’ve heard it mentioned quite a few times
  8. When your priority is to *reload less frequently*
  9. Loss leader probably. The rest of that aisle is likely very high margin for WM standards
  10. [slowly raises hand]
  11. LoseIt is what I’ve used forever
  12. Adjustable hosel settings … do you use them? Effective for serious players or gimmicks for those unwilling/unable (no judgement) to fix their swing?
  13. Sounds like you lost the minimum then!
  14. Paging @bookman … don’t leave us hanging
  15. “Clean BBQ grill” = “let’s see how hot I can get it today” at my house
  16. Justifying abhorrent behavior by claiming *it’s actually good* for the victims is surprisingly on topic for this thread.
  17. I’m about to do this next week. Our first ever cruise, but third trip to Hawaii. Will report back on trashiness factor, but I’m guessing it’s pretty low for the reasons you suggest, and also because alcohol isn’t included in the F&B packages (due to Hawaiian law?)
  18. Did he purposefully show? If so, what’s going on there? Who does that other than angle-shooters and totally confused newbs?
  19. They could easily squeeze it in the time period when Barry was in OK
  20. Yeah, one of the talking heads asked a panel yesterday what if Nauta flips, and the response was that the govt no longer needs him to. His best bet at this point may be to simply ride the Trump coattails in hopes of a hung jury.
  21. What do we think of BB? Most semi competent players in BB's shoes would raise pre vs a button opener with AT-AK. If we can eliminate those from his range, then we know a) we have him absolutely crushed and b) he's going to have a very hard time folding. I'm guessing hero opened to $10 and BB called, so $20 pot, pre-flop. Then Hero cbet $10 and got called on flop, so now $40 pot. On the turn, I want to bet before any scare cards come on the river that would give him an easier fold. Feels like we need to act like we're on a draw, but in that case we'd almost always check through this turn since he showed the table the Ace. Super tough decision here. I think we're now in a polarized situation where we're either getting a fold if we bet or we have someone willing to make a big mistake. There may not be much middle ground. Let's target those capable of making the big mistake and throw out $50.
  22. at 1:40 you can hear them laughing and running away
