  1. Seems like ICM suggests we don’t want to make a close call here
  2. It won’t, but at least there’s one more lifeboat available
  3. They DO own “doing nothing”. They’re quite outspoken about it. They get re-elected because of it. Pinning it on them **even more** (somehow?) when the whole country knows damn well who is responsible is just buying advertising for them. Take any win we can get. Maybe get more in 5 years when we’ll have another few dozen school shootings added to the list. Vote until we have enough for real change. That’s it. That’s the only viable strategy.
  4. Your strategy is to do nothing and blame the Republicans? Where have you been the last 30 years that strategy hasn’t worked?
  5. How? It’s not a lack of backbone, it’s a lack of VOTES. Get what you can at every opportunity and elect more Democrats next time.
  6. Do you just prefer the tourney experience? I’m guessing your hourly at cash for those games is pretty solid
  7. I’m guessing one makes a lot of unintelligent life decisions leading up to that particular one
  8. This is just not a realistically likely scenario, and in the super fringe infinite-universe instances where it is, what percentage of those times will you be awake, aware and positioned just right vs an intruder? Alternatively, what’s the likelihood that you or someone in your family faces a mental crisis and uses the gun to harm themselves or others? 10x? 100x more likely? The home invasion justification is gun manufacturers’ marketing masturbation. It’s the ginsu knife cutting your shoe in half.
  9. Apparently at one of the WSoP events yesterday, during a color up break a rookie dealer thought she was supposed to drag in all of the players chips and sort them. It took them 2 hours to recover. At least the job market is good.
  10. I fold. I’d prob jam over a raiser with 88+, ATs+, KJs+, AQo, AKo Now, if I was opening from button, I’d jam 22+, any ace, any broadways, probably any suited 1 gapper 86 or better
  11. KQss. I snapped called missed. Dammit
  12. $2/5 w $700 UTG $10 straddle. MP and BTN call. SB (young solid reg) makes it $50. I call BB w Td9d. Straddle folds, others call. $210 pot AsThTc. SB checks. I make it $100. Only SB calls. $410 pot. Jc. SB checks, I make it $200, leaving $350 behind. He jams putting me all in. Call $350 to win $1510 pot? (23.1%)
  13. I’m pretty much there, too. In great part because the better I become at cash, the less appealing a tourney’s payout is. Those with buyins less than $400 make no sense at all, and those between $400 and $1k are debatable given the super low probability of me landing a significant score.
  14. I stopped a few years ago, but it was all bitcoin when I last played. Fairly straight forward Just assume you’re playing with cheaters (RTA and collusion) and can’t win long term unless you are too
  15. I’ve been bubble or edge of bubble so many damn times. I wonder if my strategy somehow lends itself to that outcome. It’s so incredibly frustrating, especially when as you walk to the parking lot you pass the juicy cash games you could have invested your time in instead And you always have the same thought: “if I had just won THAT hand, I’d be amongst the chip leaders right now”
  16. SIAP but this sunroof grenade drop is the most impressive drone video I’ve seen yet
  17. Hell of a way to go. Last fatal decision was “right” instead of “left”
  18. That was a good boom. They’re often fairly weak looking. What are they hearing from the ground that tips them off?
  19. Must have been in the delivery
  20. I call the $500. $1525 pot Js. Nailed it. I had prepped my chips to look as if the incoming jam was the plan all along, so I quickly slide them out. It took a second for the opponent to see the distinction between my turn call stack and this last $275 river jam. He says “I know you have it, but I can’t fold for $275” and shows his AKo as we drag the $2075 pot I can’t recall a similarly advanced play I’ve made in the past. I obviously didn’t do the depth of the math Sooner has shared in the moment, but the thought process was there, so that’s a mental “win” for me, regardless of the results
