  1. Parents bought their obviously disturbed kid a gun. For Christmas. usa
  2. It’s not as if anyone would actually believe it had they not clarified…. Oh, wait
  3. I’m about to quit 4 episodes in. Not a fan of seeing people getting taken advantage of. It’s depressing
  4. I’d have been disappointed if we DIDNT figure out how to make this obvious connection happen
  5. Can you define your current button ranges for: -Opening (includes opening over limpers) -Calling a strong* raiser -Calling a weak* raiser -3betting a strong raiser -3betting a weak raiser *I determine strong vs weak as a combination of villains position (ie open raising UTG is almost always strong while open raising CO is frequently weak) and villains betting pattern (ie if they sometimes open limp, then when they open raise we know it’s stronger; also betting size tells). It’s also helpful to recognize if they were possibly targeting the limpers in front of them. Needless to say, your opportunity is that last bucket, but you need a solid foundation in the prior buckets to base it on, because that’s what villain may be using to characterize YOU when determining how to respond to your 3bet
  6. QB stepping forward when Center snapped it to him. Isnt that illegal motion?
  7. What’s the downside of just getting it?
  8. Well this is disappointing. My understanding was that they had updated it in the booster, but apparently have not yet https://chicago.suntimes.com/coronavirus/2021/10/21/22739440/covid-boosters-delta-variant-tweaks-fda-pfizer-moderna
  9. Booster drives rejuvenation of antibodies (which will reduce likelihood of catching it while they persist) and also accounts for Delta strain not covered by initial dose. Get the booster regardless, IMO
  10. I recall some studies showed smaller boosters are more effective. More not necessarily better when it comes to vaccine boosters.
  11. Great find! I see his pic with kids in Ep 1, and he doesn’t look familiar yet. I’ll look some more. I play 4-5 nights a week and know every regular as we only have 5-6 $2/5 tables running, max. No cameras are allowed to be used, so he’s breaking house rules FWIW ETA: ah, he’s plying $2/2 which I now avoid with the rake increase. It was arguably already unbeatable
  12. Discussed in Gone Posters thread.
  13. That’s how nasty casinos are. They did a full chip cleanse here once Covid blew up and we all still thought it could spread on surfaces, but I’m already seeing them start to stick again. If nothing else, the mask keeps me from touching my face after touching the chips, cards and felt all night long.
  14. Mask says “hi” I’m still wearing one in the poker room every night, even though I’m superhuman w J&J/Moderna.
  15. I guess I’m not fully up to speed on how it all works, but if the antigens are gone (they don’t persist, regardless of boosters, right?) it’s going to have enough time to infect before body can create more. Presumably many of the symptoms people experience are really caused by the immune system reacting/working rather than by the virus itself. A lot of these are effectively just getting a natural booster, including the side effects that some experience with that.
