  1. Your system assumes you never make a mistake in determining where everyone is around you. It works right up until the time it doesn’t.
  2. That’s pretty much what happens. And they all know it, and also that they need to hide it as much as possible. You want the amateurs to feel comfortable and not realize they’re effectively being targeted by the pack. When you study your ranges, you see that your preflop call/fold/raise range facing an open is entirely dependent on WHO that opener is. They’re doing that to a much greater degree. Those guys are factoring in the persona of their opponent on virtually every move they make.
  3. 1. At that point, they are playing a different game than “normal”. They are now leveraging their hours of studying the other’s specific play. I see this in the play of pros in our room. They are not treating me the same way they treat other pros. They have to continually learn and change up their own play to stay profitable. 2. You should be playing to win a tourney, not simply cash it. The reality is that tourney poker is highly unprofitable for most of us. The only way to get close to profitability is to take the top prize on occasion and if you just play to cash, you’re greatly reducing your capability of taking one down. You’ve got an incredible opportunity to take a commanding chip lead w AA here. Maximize it.
  4. The seminal moment in rock history genre naming came in 1981, when a Mr Samuel Roy Hagar presented with great clarity with his song “Heavy Metal” an inarguable distinction of what fans, media and music scholars alike can agree is, most certainly, NOT heavy metal.
  5. Smart. Make them think the Russians did it.

  8. BestBet live stream w an obnoxious drunk … could be good
  9. If you didn’t have “good inflation news so stocks tank” in your forecast, that’s on you
  10. Confirmed asshole Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
  11. Reported
  12. I was in the 40-42” range when I started this. Started wearing 38” comfortably somewhere around 240. I bought some 36” but, like you, guess it’s not realistic to wear them until that 200-210 range. I’d like to see 34” when I hit my final goal of 185 How do you plan on getting there?
  13. Perhaps 3-4 lbs in water weight fluctuation could occur with a diet shift, but you’re not going to just slip up and accidentally eat the 35k surplus calories you’d need to add 10 lbs of body mass
  14. It’s such a satisfying accomplishment. Keep playing frequently and you should get there now that you’re in the ballpark.
  15. Nice. You know it’s in there
  16. Say no more
  17. I’m dead-on my weekly calorie target every single week but look at this 4 week “plateau” (chart is of weekly weigh in averages, all with 7 weigh ins done at exact same time each morning). I’ve done this before, so I knew what to expect and don’t let it get to me, but I can see how it could easily wreck someone that doesn’t know WTF is happening. I’m sure it kills a ton of diets Note the huge recovery that put it right back on schedule, though I didn’t make any changes to my intake or activities.
  18. The body can only be so stubborn. If you consume less than you burn, you will drop weight. Water weight fluctuation may “hide” weight loss for a few weeks, but actual body mass was still being reduced behind the scenes. This eventually shows up as a “miraculous” weight loss one morning, but if you chart your data religiously the trend-line eventually proves right. Laws of Thermodynamics and shit
  19. 36oz bone in rib-eye, dry brined, smoked with pecan at 225* then reverse seared.
  20. Bullshit. You do not exist.
  21. For what it’s worth I’ve found tracking my water ensures I drink an excessive amount every day and that seems to minimize water weight/bloating. I drink 120oz minimum and would guess I was maybe half that before tracking. I’d always see my weight jump after unusually heavy exercise days previously, presumably because of dehydration, and now it is noticeably more stable.
  22. Bread Savings also just bumped to 4%
  23. Does your application ask for my address?
  24. Dropped from 265 in August to 225 this week. Targeting 215 by Feb 15 for a Vegas golf trip, then coming back and pushing for 185 by June for our 20th Anniversary trip to Hawaii What are you all targeting?
