  1. I land at 8am Monday morning. It’s going to be crazy, I’m sure
  2. Yeah. It’s pretty fucked up.
  3. We did too. ‘88-90 in Spring TX. I always thought it was weird because I’m pretty sure most of us were Baptist and we didn’t do the whole Lord’s Prayer at church. Many of my relatives strongly believed Catholics weren’t even real Christians. I know I sure as fuck wasn’t having that conversation with our head coach though, so I just mumbled through it with everyone else while doing that whole head-bowed-but-eyes-looking-around thing
  4. Just got around to planning out my Vegas trip next week, and the tourney options are incredible! Best I've seen during WSOP. I'm really curious how they've managed to find enough dealers to service all of these tourney series at the same time, particularly at the Wynn where their standards seem to be a bit higher Land early on Monday morning and will take the first of two $1100 stabs at satelliting into the Main Event at 1pm. If I miss, I've got the second shot on Tuesday at the same time. Depending on how those go, I'll have a TON of other options Tues through Sunday, including $1100 dailys at Wynn and Venetian, $400/600 dailys at Aria, and a $1700 multi-day Mystery Bounty at MGM. Historically, I'd mix in a bunch of cash games as well, but now that I play BestBet nearly every day in Jax, I'm inclined to just skip that on this trip and make it purely about tourneys, unless I think I need to refill the bankroll a bit given that my expectation to cash in these tourneys is fairly low.
  5. Mexican food in JAX is so incredibly bad that I actually look forward to getting it in Vegas. The joint in NYNY is cheap-ish and hits the spot every time
  6. I’d guess I’ve taken a dozen trips to Aria in as many years, and I didn’t realize they had a Mexican joint. I had to look it up on their property map and see now it’s the place I’ve always enjoyed the people watching while playing craps! It occurs to me I’d never considered what everyone was always waiting in line for. Guess I’ll actually have to go in their next week…
  7. It was a parking lot hand, so I don’t recall even checking to see if it was Qc. It was definitely QJo, so, yes, a poor hand to be playing at all UTG, much less open limping with. His subsequent call pre was probably fine as last to act
  8. Still cbetting AA, KK, QQ and all AK on that flop Prob cbetting turn w KK, QQ, and all AK
  9. Excellent thank you. I’ve not been considering pot size, per se, when making these bet sizing decisions. I think my most typical approach is 3x the current bet, and perhaps an extra unit or two depending on how many callers there were. When I saw your post, my gut said 2400 was a good number so the folds weren’t surprising. I wasn’t sure if that’s what you were trying to do, but it sounds like you wanted a caller, and priced up due to table and none of them turned out strong enough to find a call.
  10. It’s a fair cop

    I need to go check out what Living Colour is up to
  12. I saw an airball at Beau Rivage once
  13. I’m interested in your thought process on determining raise size in this situation. I’ll hang up and listen
  14. If there was any doubt left, Ron mistakenly outed himself. Only an admin could have posted with that trip code.
  15. Q is back because why the fuck not
  16. Lol. The political ads about to fire up will be even more persistent somehow. There’s no forgetting this
  17. What would he do?

    Rock! Man, Doug still sounds great. That voice somehow doesn’t age
  19. Good point re him limping pre. He does do that frequently so perhaps solid isnt a good label. I would say he’s not splashy and a seemingly competent regular. I don’t ever see him get out of line, but he’s capable of smart bluffs. Not sure what to call that persona.
  20. I leveled myself. Decided he knew I might bluff jam here so I jam hoping he’d call with less. He then almost leveled himself thinking I’d only jam QQ because of the paired board and was convinced I had it. It took him a full minute to call with QJ.
  21. $2/5 NLH w $800 UTG ($1k, solid reg 40ish black guy) limps. I open UTG1 to $35 w ThTd. I had raised my opening size from $20 to $25 to $30 to $35 over three hours as I kept getting 4+ callers. Didn’t work, as HJ, CO and UTG all call. $140 pot JcTc9c. Checks to me and I cbet to $100. UTG calls. $340 pot. Qh. Check check Jh. UTG fires out $200. Call or jam $665?
  22. I can’t imagine you can net save at just 5k miles a year. I think I’ve read a new Tesla takes several years to break even on its carbon footprint with a typical driver (presumably 15k miles a year)
  23. Can’t wait for the Tea Party faction to chime in with zero irony awareness
  24. Not for me. Fortunately it looks like they’re going to run them all again on July 1 so we can catch them this time
