  1. Yeah, lots of pros have moved here. Apparently Bart Hansen has been banned from Palms for being a nit.
  2. Yeah, that was bizarre when I got that text. I'm guessing hosting some big games and taking a rake. Just from the look of the place when I'm there they are not going to be around. They have a hard time just getting 5 people for a hold'em game. When I went there on Tuesday there were 2 big o games and no hold'em.
  3. Went to Palms tonight while waiting for someone to fly in. Their flight ended up getting canceled so I played till midnight. You APP regulars may remember Mr. Lee. He showed up and dumped a few thousand. He was calling all ins with a set and no low on boards with possible straits and flushes. I started off pretty slow but finally got some cards and got going. Three different times I had nut nut and someone was betting into me. They had a kids game and an adult game going. Around 10:30 the small game broke and I was up over $1100 so I headed over to the big boy table with $500. Played an hour and a half and played 5 hands total. They were playing $100 racehorses when a new dealer came in, I went 1 for 2 on those. Doubled up when my strait stood up, and got quartered on a bomb pot with a shared nut low. Cashed out up $300 after all that and ended up over $1400 for the night.
  4. Yeah, the biggest difference is it’s pretty much a nut/nut game. if the board has a pair, someone has a boat Flush possible and someone is betting? They have the nut flush strait possible? Someone has it my advice is to play 1 cent 2 cent online to get a feel of the types of hands that win before heading to play live
  5. would everyone please shut the fuck up if you're not going to talk about recruiting? This is not the bitch about coaches thread.
  6. Got done with work yesterday afternoon at 4 and headed down to shuffle 512 to play in their Monday BigO game. I'd made $800 and $1180 the last two times I played. Last nights game was the softest it had ever been. All old semi or fully retired dudes that may as well have played with their hands face up. I don't think I made it past the flop without winning part of the pot. Unfortunately the game broke at 6 but I was up $457 at that point so it was ok. So being the degen I am I drove from south Austin to Round Rock and went to the Lodge where they run a $50 BigO tournament every Monday. Just like shuffle most of the players are horrible and may as well have been playing face up. Only saw two other guys in the tournament that play BigO cash games, the rest were people just looking for a tournament. End up getting to the final 3 and chopping. Tournament had 96 runners and I ended up winning $1215. I did rebuy once and added on so I was right at $200 after that and the table and daily fees so $1000 profit and up $1473 for the day. Had so many bills I broke my money clip when taking out money this morning to throw into my stash.
  7. Was there last week as well. Ate at Pio Pio. Several locations around. Very authentic Peruvian food. Had Joe's pizza at 1455 Broadway and it was great. Did a bunch of touristy stuff with the family and in-laws. Lots of stuff closed on Tuesday and Wednesday like the 9/11 museum and top of One World so plan your days out before you go.
  8. It's cool you hit the flush but I'd be asking for a deck change when the second 8s hit
  9. You’re fine. the guy in my story was a complete dick who completely gamed the system to get the biggest handicap possible before match play started. I think he was down to a 5 a month later.
  10. They have a word for people like you. sandbagger a few years ago I was a member at lost creek and got paired with a guy in the match play tournament who had an 18 handicap cap at the start of the tournament and they didn’t adjust during the tournament. He was also over 70 so he got to tee off from the yellow, which on several holes was 150 in front of the whites. I was a 10 at the time, so giving him 4 a side. front nine I shot 37 and was down 3 holes. Was 3 over par after 15 when the match ended 4&3. the next week he played a buddy of mine. The 18 handicap was 2 under after 14 holes when their match ended. the fucker did have a heart attack a few months before the tournament, played a bunch of rounds when still weak and not able to hit the ball 100 yards and amazingly regained his strength when match play started.
  11. Not really the career path I expected for him but he was always known more for his defense than offense so I guess secretary of defense makes sense.
  12. Funny you mention this. I was in NYC for the last three days. Sure Austin has it's homeless issues but it's got nothing on NYC. After we came out of Penn station a guy in his mid 20's was running around yelling "fight club, who's ready to start fight club" and running up to and getting into the face of multiple people. On the way back to the station this morning an older homeless guy was yelling at no one in particular that he wasn't a faggot and would prove it by eating pussy and was swinging a cane around hitting light poles and trash cans and just missing passers by.
  13. That's what drove me to get an FJ over any jeep. Most jeeps have 1500-2500 towing capacity, not enough for a boat.
  14. LOL Let's see, hmm, 2 gallons grape, one gallon egg custard, one gallon tamarind, what did squish want? Wedding cake? Let's get 4oz of that.
  15. I stopped at the Waffle House in Norman on the way back from an Okie State game one time. Complete record scratch from Animal House when I walked in decked out in burnt orange. Guy next to me at the counter "Some set of balls you got coming in here dressed like that"
  16. Good. Hope vandy loses next game too.
  17. Dear ESPN, I've turned on the game twice, and both times the whistler(s) made it unwatchable. Please get your mikes away from those assholes or turn the mikes near them off. Until you do so I probably will never watch a Vanderbilt game. Thanks, Blacklab.
  18. I had a black lab that was like that. We'd be at the dog park and she'd disappear into the forest for a while and then come out with sticks bigger than that. It was always funny when she'd get one so big she could barley carry it. She'd go 3-4 feet, rest for a little bit, drag some more, repeat, till she'd place it at my feet and then bark at me to throw it.
  19. There's a nice bar and the horseracing stuff is next to it. No signs of a sports bar but I may have missed it.

    It's similar to popeye's but not as good.
  21. Up in DC for work and went to mgm with a coworker who was drunk as fuck. they were running 5 card plo high only so that’s what we played. Coworker had not played plo before and wasn’t sure or coordinated enough to look at his cards with showing other people so it was a shit show. second hand I get AAQQ9 double suited with clubs and diamonds. I raise Preflop, get 5 callers and the 6the pots it to 95 and everyone calls. flop is j72 with a club. Someone goes all in for 150 and I’m getting about 6-1 so I call along with two others. turn is 4c and now I got a flush draw so I jam and two others call. River is a queen giving me the nuts of top set as there is no strait or flush possible and it’s a scoop for around $1400. I play a few rounds but don’t feel like getting banned from mgm by his actions so I tell my coworker we’re leaving. He ends up hitting quad kings and had one other memorable hand. he had KK and a few clubs. Flop is QsJs7x. He bets out and a guy calls. Turn is KS and he jams. Other guy asks wtf are you doing I have the As and shows it along with the 10 of diamonds for a strait. Coworker slams his cards down and says “I have a boat” other guy is steaming and says “you don’t have a boat you dumbass”, coworker “oh, I meant flush “, other guy “you don’t have one of those either you have clubs in your hand” at that point I had to get up and leave and told him to get up too. He says one more hand, I go cash out and he of course wins that hand too and comes over to cash up, with a nifty $250 profit after being drunk as fuck and not having any idea what was going on.
  22. Jesus fucking shitdicks enough with the off topic shit. If you have a post that was deleted from this page take that shit somewhere else.
  23. Don't bother. It's awful. All the meat sits in warming pans that are way to hot so all the meat was dry AF and overcooked.
  24. Around $700-$1000 a seat depending on the row.
