  1. I probably have an extra ticket to LT/WL next friday if you want to see a real HS team play
  2. well, he did go to lake travis and they suck so...
  3. Yeah. We had a guy on the boat who also was a plank owner of the USS Chicago. They got signed balls from the bears, bulls, cubs and sox and the city donated a couple of hundred grand towards the commissioning ceremony. They also got to fly to Chicago and were treated like royalty for a few days. Montpelier donated $1000 and there were multiple letters to the editor in the local paper from people who were livid they spent $1000 when there were sidewalks or roads that needed repair and multiple other people wrote in thinking the money was going to help build the ship and wanted to know why did we have to pay for the ship to be built.
  4. Only in poker can you outlast 86 out of 93 buy ins and feel like you just got kicked in the nuts. Finished 7th won $246.
  5. Was chip leader for most of the last two hours. Finally get down to the final table and I have lost every hand I’ve been in the last 20 minutes now I’m in last place
  6. Get a strait flush, unfortunately guy with nut flush also had A2 to my A3 so we chopped. currently in the chip lead with around 470k, average stack 240k, 17 people left, top 12 paid. Blinds 6k-12k.
  7. Monday night big o at the lodge. 93 entries 24 left, prize pool $5850 Average stack 140k, I got 250k lets fucking go
  8. Played in the shuffle 512 Sunday night plo tournament again tonight. $30 to get in, $1500 garunteed, 14 people played but a ton of rebuys, but no where near $1500 collected so a big overlay agian. Played 3 hours and raised pre flop once. Had AsQsAcTc. Get repotted pre flop, I go all in and there's 4 of us. Other guys are QQxx KKxx and 7432. Flop T72 with two spades and I'm in the lead. Turn 7 river 2 and mr 7432 scoops. I rebuy. Mr 7432 now has over half the chips in play, and announces he's folding into the final table and will only play the nuts. Next hand he pots preflop, says he has the nuts. Ends up winning the hand with AK95, and is completely serious saying that its a really good starting hand. Guy ends up playing every single hand until the final table and has around 400k in chips at the final table. Two people at the final table with around 100k and the rest of us below 50k. I don't get a hand worth a shit the entirety of the final table, end up going out in 6th when my big blind A5 runs into 55 on a A52 flop. Ooops. If you are in the Austin area and have ever played more than 2 hands of plo in your life you'll probably do pretty well in this tournament.
  9. I'm guessing it went more like this: Transportaion/Logistics person: "We need 110 busses to get the crowds in and out in a timely manner" Cota: "we'll do 10 and then issue a press release saying 100 canceled on us"
  10. Tires are the only thing touching the road in your car. I always buy the best tires. sometimes a bumper or muffler may be touching the road
  11. yeah, how the fuck do they let this happen. On the sub we all went through 2 weeks of firefighting training and drilled 2+ times a week on it. Many people think the firefighting and damage control helped win WW2 in the pacific. I'm guessing while sitting in port and getting repairs there's probably a small crew on board, but still it's a major fuck up.
  12. blacklab

    is it bad form...

    I was on a call with my head of operations when my CEO called, who we both needed to talk to so I told the Ops person to hold on, I'll merge the CEO in. I hit the "Hold and Accept" button and it hung up on both of them.
  13. Big o and congress are both 5 card PLO hi/lo 8 or better, just depends on what part of the country you're in to what it's called. The casino at National Harbor in DC ran 5 card plo high. Orleans in Vegas has a bunch of different omaha limit games including 5 card hi/lo, not sure if they run 5 card high limit.
  14. out in 5th, won $328, was in for $135 so +$203
  15. Down to 5, low stack at 120k blinds 40-80k
  16. Get AhKs8h7s4s, jam one caller, A9975 flop QQ2h turn 5h river 3h boom scoop with nut flush and wheel
  17. Fuck fuck fuck In last place now with 120k Last 5 all ins low man wins.
  18. Down to final table and I’m in the money, woohoo. Have not won a hand in an hour boohoo 2 people with smaller stacks than me 400k avg stack, I have 250k
  19. Back at the lodge for the Monday big o down to 14 players, 217k average stack, I have 500k funniest hand so far, I had TT3xx in the big blind, several limpers. flop T33, checks around turn is a 3. I bet out 20k and two women at the table call. river 9, I pot and instacall from first, second woman looks at me with a “how dare you” look (she’s a fucking cunt and everyone hates her), plays with her chips and finally folds, other woman shows KK. Scoopity doop.
  20. Finally got off the tourney min cash roll tonight. Played in the 7pm $1500 guaranteed PLO free roll at shuffle 512 tonight. May have been the weakest tournament field I have played in since playing in bar tournaments during the poker boom of the oughts. $10 dealer fee and $20 seat fee to play. Started with 13k in chips, you could get another $10k for $20 at any time and buy up to 5 of those at the first break. I couldn't get shit going during the first hour, busted, paid $40 for 20k in chips, hit the break with around 25k in chips, chip leader at table had $100k in chips so I bought up $40 more and had 45k chips at the break. Finally started to win a few hands and got up over $100k. Hit a strait flush and got paid off, other guy had a set, would have stacked him if he had had nut flush. Flopped quad aces on another hand but didn't make shit. Only around 20 players, top 3 got paid, 72 entries so a $160 overlay. Got down to 3 at 11pm and I offered an ICM chop and ended up second with $500 so a $390 win.
  21. We used the shit out of it in sea trials and I don't remember ever using it after that
  22. I have a couple of openings. PM me if interested or you know anyone looking.
