    50k chips. 2 hour levels starting at 75/150

     

    First orbit, button limps, SB calls, I go 500 in B.B. w QQ. Only button calls.

     

    943. I bet 800, he calls.

     

    7. I just check and he bets 1200. I call.

     

    2. Chk/chk and he shows K9. I successfully won the minimum. Well played, asshole (me).

    This hand is played perfectly fine.  It's the problem with being OOP.  I probably go a bit more pre and a bit less on flop, but it's all good.

    Isnt it the exact same cost as paying the ticket and in Bexar country I think it might be the same for going yourself?  

    Orangechipper paid $142 and the ticket will be dismissed and he didn't have to use his "mandatory" DSC.  Doubt any attorney is handling it for $142, and plenty of places the attorney is just gonna get him a deferred so he still has to pay court costs.  Some places do have a good ole boy system where the prosecutor will just dismiss because of who the defense attorney is, but other places have ethics.

    on the don’ts, not that many of you care, but they have 6x max odds bet, but unlike every other single casino in which I have played where the max is fixured off of your payoff; this shit-show establishment says your odds cannot be more than 6x your initial flat bet.

     

    I don't understand.  What do you mean that the max is usually figured off of your payoff?

    Unless you have a CDL, in which case you get 0 deferred adjudications and no driver safety course option. (Doesn't matter if in a commercial vehicle or not)

    Truth.  Or if the offense occurred in a work zone with workers present.

  5. A JP court in Bexar County?  Do you know which one?  

    The citation should include a plea form which includes the form to request DSC.  To request DSC you have to plead guilty or no contest, and deliver it in person or by certified mail to the court (Technically, though most people just send it regular mail without a problem).  You also have to have a valid Texas DL (or be an active duty servicemember or their dependent), proof of insurance, and not have taken a DSC in the last 12 months. 

  6. You are very likely not going to win "legally" based on no signs.

    You are entitled to one dismissal via Driving Safety Course per year, which costs roughly $110 in court costs/fees and $30 for the class.

    If you do deferred disposition instead, you get to keep your DSC dismissal in your pocket for later use if needed.  Deferred disposition can cost up to $300 though, up to the judge ($100ish court costs plus fee up to max fine for the offense which is $200 for speeding).

    The bitch of it is that if you don't request DSC by your appearance date, you are no longer entitled to it, though the judge can allow it if so desired.  What court is your case in?

    What I would want to do in your shoes is plead not guilty, talk with the prosecutor and say "look, I have a video of no speed limit signs on the 3.5 mile stretch of road, I think the jury will find that persuasive, so why don't we dismiss and move on?"  Maybe they do, if they balk, then say "OK how about deferred disposition but with a $25 special expense fee and no DSC required?"  That would cost you $125, not take the time/money for the DSC, and still let you have your one per year DSC dismissal in hand.

    Nah, she's seen movies like Plains, Trains and Automobiles with Steve Martin's litany of f-bombs. She can handle the language.

    The part about Annette's tits, and the hoodlum kids have a convo about trying to get laid where Ace mentions getting a nice Catholic girl or the like.  Nothing too explicit from what I remember.  

  8. I'm going June 6-15. Main tourneys I'm playing include Millionaire Maker, $1500 six max, Binions main event, the last flight of the MSPT Main Event at Venetian ($1100 buyin, $3.5M guarantee) and maaayyybe the Marathon.

  9. For background, I am not a good golfer, today usually shooting about 95, but for much of my life anything under 100 was good, 100-110 was meh, over 110 was disaster. My worst is one of 3 possible rounds:

    1) At Bluebonnet, walking, I just keep losing balls.  Lost like 3 out of the middle of the fairway.  Finally on 16, I skank my approach into the pond, my 18th lost ball.  No more balls in the bag.  Walk of shame back to the car.

    2) Again at Bluebonnet, playing with my dad and brother.  I am on fire on the front, shooting a personal-best 38.  I par 10 as well, and stand on the 11th tee 6up against my dad with 8 to play.  I lose 1 down, shooting 55 on the back for a smoooth 93.

    3) At Canyon Springs, just me and my dad on Father's Day.  I have the best day of my life with my driver, hitting it on the line I want, 240-270 every time.  I hit 12 of 14 fairways, with one of the misses being literally a foot off the fairway in light rough, with sand wedge in.  On #1, I hit a 9i to the middle of the green, 3 putt bogey.  On #2, a par 5, I hit a beautiful 9i for my second shot right at it and fly the green, landing in a bunker behind the green and making double.  Every iron I hit after that was a shank. The only other fairway I missed?  Shanked 4i off the tee.  I had 9i or less in to 14 holes, including a 9i second shot on a par 5 and shot 106.  My dad can't drive it over 200, and he beat my ass something fierce that day.  Could have shot in the 80s or better if I had my irons working at all.

    I’d 3 bet JJ to isolate almost always, but his $40 open seemed to make that unnecessary. I’d put him on 99-JJ (please don’t call, just let me take this down), and maybe 88-QQ. Given the table dynamics at the time (quiet and tight) I really never expected anyone else to join, much less a call and a raise. Had I raised, I would have gone to $100.

    Buttons raise tells me AA, KK, AK. I assumed QQ-22, AQ, KQ all flat. UTG call just confirms my read on him as he’s jamming AA and KK.

    Checks on flop to button don’t mean anything. Buttons check tells me AK.

    UTGs bet on turn I expected before the card even came down. Everything in his range does that and I still feel good against it. Never considered raising it. Buttons fold was not surprising given that I now had him on AK.

    I thought about a river bet, but I’ve seen him check raise river before and that would put me in a really bad spot. Plus, I was pretty interested to see what he had.

    Yeah, when people open bigger than normal, I usually put them on 99-QQ, AK, with the usual most likely option being exactly JJ (obv since we are holding JJ we have to reduce JJ in opp range).  Those are all hands where people feel "entitled" to win because they have a good hand, but hate playing flops.

    If we are ranging BTN that tight pre, did we consider a fold pre to the $120?  Are we check-folding to BTN on this flop if he bets?  If no, are we check-folding to BTN bet and UTG call?  Also if UTG ranges BTN like you do, 4b KK pre would be pretty bad as BTN would have 1 combo of KK, 8 combos of AK, and 6 combos of AA.

    I definitely like your play the best of all 3 players.  WP.

    OU -12 in the RRS is stupid.  That will be under a touchdown by kickoff.

     

    Hell it's under a touchdown now, it's bet down to OU -6 already.  OU hasn't covered -6 in the RRS since 2012. 

  12. I actually had AQ and JJ before I edited, but I thought you may 3b JJ pre there.  Thoughts on the flatcall pre (I'm fine with it BTW)?  What did you put them on when you flatcalled the 3b to $120?  How happy were you to call turn?  Did you consider a river v-bet?

  13. I don't like his preflop sizing.  I'd rather call QQ than go $120 and just price everyone in and hate about half the flops. I'm going $200 in his spot.  Also, yes LOL MP.

    BTN definitely should have bet the flop.  Also, yeah, horrendous read by him that y'all would fold AK here, especially to his small sizing.  As played, as him, I would have bet $150 on the flop.

    Now on the turn, BTN has to assume neither of you holds a T unless you hold exactly TT.  I think UTG checks TT again here, so really only you can have TT.  So what would UTG be betting?  JJ, QQ, KK, AA are the only hands that BTN thinks UTG has that would be betting here.  I think UTG can possibly also have AQs and be betting to make AK fold, but BTN doesn't think so.  I think UTG can also have 88 or 99 and may bet those some non-zero amount of time here.

    What can you be calling with?  TT, JJ, QQ, KK.  I don't think you can have AA, because you definitely 4b pre (UTG usually 4b AA pre, but may occasionally (foolishly) flat to trap (I think flatting to trap as UTG with AA is much better if BTN used my preferred $200 sizing).  

    Given his reads, I think it's a pretty clear fold for BTN on the turn. The odds that he has you both beat are pretty slim.  As BTN I would call the $220 if it was my last $220 on the table, but as played, he very well may have a $600 decision on the river which is going to suck unless a Q rivers.

    They also don't give you free drinks

    Yep, the combo of the ante and the no free drinks turns what is an occasional enjoyable diversion for me when in Vegas/NOLA to something I absolutely almost never touch when in Oklahoma.  I have probably played 90 minutes of blackjack in my hundreds and hundreds of hours in Oklahoma casinos, and 60 minutes of that was teaching my GF in advance of a Vegas trip.

    Wait, shouldn't that have been a push?

    This confused me at first read too.  But he means he paid because you have to pay the commission every hand, so you don't really break even on pushes, you lose the commission.

    I merely put him on a very tight opening range because of his position and play that night (plus multi tabling). Post flop I think he’s a solid player, absolutely willing to shove on the flop. I don’t think he’s a tight player overall.

     

    That changes things somewhat, as QJ and Q9 can be in his range pre and on the flop, though dunno if he's raising turn with QJ.

    I don't think him 3-bet shoving AA or KK on this flop is good though, unless you are against an opponent who simply will never fold a jack or whatever.  Shoving AA or KK just makes you fold your bluffs, and gets him stacked when you have JJ/TT/44/JT.  You aren't folding a big draw to his jam so he isn't protecting his hand either. He should be 3b shoving things like AKss, AQss, KQss, JJ, TT, JT, 44 on the flop.  

    What were you trying to accomplish by jamming turn?  I don't think he's ever raising turn with AA or AK, why would he?  I don't think he usually has AK except for AKss, and I think if he would raise turn with it here, he probably would have just crammed it on flop, especially given your read that he wouldn't be scared to get it in there. Same with AA, raising turn here when lots of straights and 2 pairs just got home is pretty pointless, if he was going to raise this turn with AA, he might as well 3b all in on flop. If the turn was a blank and he raised, I can imagine an AA wanting to wait for a safe turn card, then raise and force draws to pay big with just one card to come instead of a draw just shrug/getting it in on flop. 

    You are showing huge strength by check/raising this flop that slams his range, and then firing turn that slams his range. When he raises turn I think fold >>> call/evaluate river >>> jam.
