Went down to Bullets last night to play big O. When I got there the big O table was full so I had to slum it up at hold em for an hour waiting for a seat. In the big blind look down to see TT. Middle position raises to 15, me and 3 others call. Flop QTT. I check and it checks around. Turn 3 I bet $20 and everyone folds. I contemplate showing my hand but say fuck it an muck it. About 20 minutes later I look up at a screen on the wall and realize they have a bonus for quads and I would have gotten $230 if I had shown my hand. DOH Few hands later it's a bomb pot and I get AAQQ. Top board is J73 and bottom QQT. Bingo. Lady to my left pots it and I'm the only caller. Turn 3 on top and bottom. Lady bets $50, I call. River A on top giving me top boat, she checks, I jam and she thinks for a few seconds and calls. Boom. Started with $200 and am now over $500. Get aces a few hands later, raise to 15 preflop, 4 callers. Flop is 642, I bet out $25, get one caller. Turn 7, I bet $50, get one caller. There's no way he has 53 or 85 can he? A set? He'd raise right? River 10 and I bet another 50. He hems and haws and complains the ten probably got him. Finally, he folds showing 96. Get called up to big O right after that hand. Table is juicy, with several bad players and go from $300 to $500 over the course of a few orbits. One of my arch nemeses is there and he's steaming as he's lost a few hands to the bad players. Get dealt AAK82 double suited. Raise $10 pre flop and get 5 callers. Flop is AdJd2s. I pot for $55, get check raised all in by guy to my right for $200 more. I announce fuck it and call. He shows J65d43d. Just need to avoid diamonds and 3-5. Next card out 4 of diamonds, river does not pair the board and I double him up. Looked at the odds and I was a 36-64% dog in equity after the flop. Need to learn to fold sets of aces. Few hands later I'm in the big blind with QQxxx, someone makes it $5 and 5 of us are in. Flop is 776, and it checks around. Bingo turn Q. Nemesis pots it and I call. River 10, he pots, I go all in, he instantly calls and I'm assuming quads with the way he called. I show the queens and he slam mucks his cards. Nothing sweeter than sending him further into tilt and taking $200 from him. Double up got me to $400 and get AdKs5d3c2s and raise preflop to $15 and get 6 callers. Flop is AsTc6s. I'm first to act and check, hoping someone raises so I can reraise and action goes check, pot, repot, fold and I repot and other guy folds and both potters call. 3 way all in. My nemesis shows AKT23 no spades, other guy doesn't show so I know I'm rooting for a spade, but am not sure if I'm rooting for a 2 or 3 to give me a better low. Turn is a 2, giving me second nut low, if non showing guy has 34 I'm fucked, river blank. Dickhead picks his hand up, looks at hand, looks at board, in my head I'm saying "FUCKING PUT YOUR HAND DOWN YOU SLOW ROLLING MOTHER FUCKER", and finally after about 15 seconds lays his hand down and it's AQT23. Boom. I get the low and they chop the high and I'm up over $600. Lose a little over the next hour and head home at midnight. Final tally hold em +$300, big O +$200. I think playing holdem just for the plo bomb pots would be a very lucrative venture after seeing how the players played. People calling with 2 pair on both boards when both have flushes and straits, calling with a pair of aces on one board, calling small straits and small flushes. Don't think I can handle the bordem of the hold em for the 9 hands between them though.

Finally got around to getting something 2011 E350 Bluetec with 190,000 miles. Replaced the turbo and fixed some oil leaks and it runs like a top. Mercedes boards say you should get 350-400k miles out of them as long as you fix the oil leaks and turbo, which at around 5k miles a year I should put on it will last me the rest of my life. Oldest boy has already asked that I leave it to him in the will. Previous owner claimed 38 MPG on the highway, we'll see if he's full of shit when I fill up in a couple of weeks. Wanted to get another E63 AMG but they are still stupid expensive.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread

poor thing. I had a lab that had similar issues and we tried everything. We did do acupuncture for a while and it did seem to help. It was over 20 years ago so I can't be of any help as I tried to find her a few years ago and couldn't. Don't feel bad for trying. I'm rooting for your little guy. -

Loading times are similar to surface ships, there's nothing complicated about them. That would be the best time to hit them. If they have missiles that can only be launched from these subs they may as well use them. I'm sure we got some sonar arrays somewhere in the black sea. If they are nuke boats we can track them pretty easily, if they are diesel we can track them easily when they are running the diesel, not so much when they go to battery. In the mid 80's when we were fucking with Libya they sent out a couple of old old russian diesel subs towards a carrier. The subs that were nearby had orders to sink them if they switched to battery power.

According to some family members Peru is also tired of the Venezuelans coming in. First wave was people released from prisons there, resulting in increased crime. Probably not going to allow many more.

Had to be around 2010. For those who don't know I was driving by Zilker one day and saw Kaiser and LF68 playing frisbee golf. I pulled over to the side of the road and yelled "Get a job, hippies!". The guys they were playing with dropped their shit and started walking towards my car in an angry manner. I got in my car and took off.

Yeah, I'm figuring an average of 7% on stocks. Thanks for mentioning the health care, I did a quick budget and forgot all about that. I did half jokingly gave my boss a 4 year notice a few months ago. She knows I'm the only one that knows how a lot of things work and was a little freaked out and immediately said, "but you could do part time like 10 hours a week when we need you right?" and I said yes, if you keep me on the health plan, and she said that would not be a problem, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Went through 4 different simulators and all 4 said I was 100% likely to be successful. I'm probably in a different position than most. My wife and I are pretty low maintenance. If I take my kids out of my current expenses and get the house paid off I think we could live very comfortably on $50k a year. If we can do that I could just put all of my money in a savings account earning 4% and it would go up not down as we got older.

Thanks for the feedback. If it does go down 20% and averages 5% back out now you're only getting 4% of your original money. After I retire I am going to be selling off a small percentage every year so the price will matter. I'll probably just leave the 5% or so in bonds and just let my kids deal with it once I'm dead and don't care.

Would love to hear other's opinions on bonds but I'm 100% against them and plan on keeping everything in stocks and two years of living expenses in liquid form. I'm mid 50's and planning on retiring in 4 years. The reason I'm anti bond is they can go down in value just like stocks. Here's a bond fund I inherited a while back. It's lost ~20% of it's value over the last 4 years. Yes it spits out dividends, but if I needed to sell I'd be down a bunch right now. The whole sales pitch on bonds is while only a 1-5% return you won't lose value. Well that's not true at all. I'd rather average 7% and take the lumps of the ups and downs of the stock market. I do plan on keeping 2+ years of expenses in cash/liquid, and slowly dribble out money each month to keep it flush. If the market tanks I'll just stop withdraws for a few months till it gets back to a more normal level. With the house and car paid off and the kids out of the house I really don't see us spending much more than SS is bringing in and hope the interest on the cash will cover most things. My uncle that I inherited this bond fund from used this plan, and had the same amount in his Vanguard account when he died 2 years ago that was in it when he retired 20 years ago. Around 5% of his money was in bonds, the rest was in stocks, mainly s&p 500 funds.

So where do you come down on the "cheating"? I thought it was kinda fucked up how he was going over and looking at a laptop every chance he got, was pretty sure you weren't able to do that. Rather than post a ton of tweets, Polk covers most of them here
