Why do we think a "spewy" player is going to fold, when he raised UTG? Have you played with the young black guy a lot? If not, he doesn't know you're pegged at JJ+.
If we are expanding 3-bet range, I would rather 3-bet stuff that plays OK if called, like smaller pairs, suited aces, suited connectors, than junk like Q4o. Otherwise we have to really size up our 3-bets, since getting called in bloated pot with J5o is the drizzling shits. But then, we are risking too much to not win enough. So I would go with a balanced 3-bet sizing, with hands that have some hope when called. Would rather have JTs than A8o, for example.

That was 4th down. OU got a 1st and goal, and literally just had their OL fall down to avoid scoring again. Jolly made the "tackle" and was celebrating the "goal line stand."
That was the most domination I have ever seen in a football game. First turnover came when it was already 70-0. As posted above, it was just aggy stuffed and punts, OU buzzes right down and scores. Rinse, repeat.

I fold.
Fuckers show AT (SB) and KJ (UTG). Both thought the other was on flush draw.
Stupid fucking game.Re-evaluate your read on SB. Check-jamming 150 BB with 2nd pair into a bet and a raise, when the raise is by a solid, tight player is not "solid," it is spew-a-riffic.
3-betting pre is by far better for you, regardless of result, but my guess is that if we 3b pre, SB folds, UTG calls, and then we stack UTG on the flop.
Calling off 150 bigs on the flop with one pair when a player we think is solid jams 150 bigs and another player calls 80 bigs is a good way to lose money, despite this hand. In a standard 1/2 game where we start with $200, sure, not folding.

Yeah fold, but 3bet AA when a spewy guy opens esp when we are deep.
SB never has worse than like AQdd and has a set or JT a lot. -
Yeah, so many people basically only want to trade if it clearly benefits their team - hey let me trade my bench guys or guys I'm gonna cut to get a guy I'm gonna start every week. One guy in one of my leagues always tries to work the "pu pu platter" where he gives you 3 mediocre guys for one stud. That can work in the right spot, where the team with the stud is decimated other than that player, and there are no good options on waivers, so now the team giving up the stud is downgrading one starting spot, but upgrading the other two. But this guy always offers guys that are waiver-equivalent, without regard to whether the team with the stud needs desperately to improve depth.

Maryland is 3-2. They should beat Rutgers & Illinois. They have to play at Indiana, it's not at home. I would say 6-6 is the most likely record, followed by 5-7, followed by 7-5.

Ohio State lost to (I think) a 6 loss Virginia Tech team a few years ago and still made it in. I would say that's the best sign for Texas, but the committee has shown no consistent pattern of voting and seem to change their process every year. The only consistent is that Ohio State is allowed a free spot in the playoffs if they look good.
A 1-loss Ohio State was left out in 2015, and a Big Ten champ Ohio State was left out in 2017.
12-1 Texas would be very very hard to keep out of the playoffs. It would require an unbeaten Clemson, unbeaten ND, unbeaten tOSU and unbeaten SEC champion.

That upper deck yardline low row is pretty much perfect vantage point at the CB. Love sitting there
Absolutely. I had row 1 upper deck 40 yard line seats in 2013, which was super exciting right up until the actual game.

Get there by 8, lines aren't long, buy all the coopins you need in one fell swoop instead of idiotically buying $20 worth 5 times during the day. If you buy too many, you can bring them back the next year, sell them to someone waiting in line when you leave, or give them to someone and make their day.
Watch the buses come in around 9. Oak Farms stand in the Food Court has choco milk for 3 coopins for the little one. I always pound one of those after the game, hits the spot.

Stoopid sooner. Visitors don't sign leases, so it is completely different and you are evil and wrong.
I don't sign a lease when I shop at a store that has parking reserved for its customers, but they are still going to be on the hook if they have my car towed while I'm shopping at their store.

How long are you planning on staying at that apartment complex? I'm kind of an asshole but I would shortpay my next month's rent by $170 to get the shit noticed faster. Of course I would also be ready to move if they get shitty about it after that.
Then I'd be sure to one star review the apartment complex with details of my story on every available review site.
This is very bad advice from the usually-reliable Huck. Don't do this, they will be able to evict you, which will fuck you up big time. If they don't make it right, file a tow hearing with Judge Cercone, JP in that area. Send me a PM if you end up having to do that.

I’m not poor. I just cant see paying $300/ticket for my 5-6 year old and since i have been gone dont want to spend time away from them either.
I would never wedge someone out of a seat especially if i had gotten in illegally.
Right that wasn't directed to you. Just saying that wedging into seats that aren't yours in a sold out packed stadium is bush league crap.
I have taken my 8 & 11 year old girls to games but not this game, certainly wouldn't pay $200+ a ticket for them either. Gonna take them to the fair on Sunday when it's less crowded. -
Dumb ticket question,
Do this years tickets have any texture or security features? Don't want to buy frauds.
The silver writing on them, like TEXAS VS. OKLAHOMA is reflective. -

Did anyone try the funnel cake bacon queso burger last year? Where exactly is it located? I could tell from some Youtube videos that it's in the Midway, but I'm trying to narrow it down in case I want to try it.
I had it last year, there were 3 places selling it, I think. The place I got it was in the main food court building. Was fine, not great. Would eat for free, but won't be using valuable stomach space or coopins on a repeat.

Hot take: really scummy thing to do the "handshake" unless you're planning on just wandering around the whole game. There isn't room for you anywhere. Got into it big time with some imbeciles last year because they were wedging in and so they were on my seat.
I told them they would have to move and they played like I was the asshole "who cares man it doesn't matter exactly what seat" but the problem was everyone else in my row was in their seat so I had nowhere to be.
I shouldn't have to pay a couple hundred bucks and not actually have a seat just because you're a poor. -

I'd take the kids to the fair, stop by the Gameday set, keep an eye out for tickets and if you don't get in just watch on the big screen. It'll still be a great day with the kids and maybe you get lucky and find a deal on tickets.
This.

Let’s qualify those piss poor performances a little. PSU won those two game 84-12. OU won the army game 27-21 in OT.
'16 Indiana was the team more akin to 2018 Army, and PSU won that by 11 with 2 TDs in the last 5 minutes. Again, my whole point on those games isn't that they inherently mean that PSU wasn't good or whatever, just that the narrative of a team peaking at the end of the season didn't really fit PSU. I think ztejas nailed it that they were more an inconsistent team with a high ceiling rather than a team like 2016 USC that sputtered at the start, but was playing demonstrably better at the end of the season.

No - because OU wasn't expected to get taken into OT and Texas wasn't expected to win.
Did Penn State face some back-loaded garbage that season? Sure. But they won every game. The fact that one or two of those games was closer than it "should" have been doesn't really mean much considering they went on to win the BIG10.
What about PSU's ass whipping of Iowa that season - a team that kicked the shit out of the Ohio State team we are talking about?
I don't think PSU was especially consistent that season - but when they were firing on all cylinders they could hang with any team in the country.
So what, wins are wins, right? You can't excuse pisspoor performances by PSU against Indiana, Rutgers, and MSU with "but they won" and not hold OU to the same standard with the Army game. OU won the game, all that matters, no? For the record, that is not my position, and in a world where Texas didn't lose week 1, I would have had OU ahead of them prior to last week, and Texas ahead this week. Because some wins are more than other wins.
And your turn to make the mistake - Iowa didn't even play Ohio State in 2016. The asswhipping you are referencing occurred last year, and that asswhipping kept Ohio State out of last year's playoff. The only game Ohio State lost in 2016 before the playoff was the 3 point loss at PSU on a block FG return for TD. They beat the shit out of an 11-2 OU team in Norman, they won at Wisconsin, they beat Nebraska 62-3, they beat the same Michigan team that beat PSU by 39.
Your last sentence I agree with 100%.

The whole reason I mentioned Penn State 2016 up thread was to point out that there are some other non Ohio State teams at the top of the Big 10 that are good/relevant. Its hindsight, but again 2016 Ohio State got destroyed by Clemson. It was a pretty bad look, the only worse playoff appearance was probably Michigan State getting mudholed by Bama. So, in retrospect, was Penn State worse than that? Do they get shut out by Clemson and lose by 31? I don't think so, but who knows.
Sure, this all makes sense, and is fair. I would say neither Ohio State nor Penn State were likely to lose by 31 to Clemson, though either could if they played a bad game. PSU lost by 39 to Michigan, which wasn't as good as Clemson.

I never said they were a top 5 team. I said they were a contender and could have gave someone a scare in the CFP.
We get it. You think Penn State is overrated.
Wins are wins. Unless you're aggy. You're not aggy are you? You sound like it.
So you would say OU's 28-21 overtime win over Army is equally impressive as Texas' comfortable win over TCU last week? Because wins are wins, right? Why are there 3-1 teams ranked ahead of 4-0 teams? How do you decide which 4-0 team should be ranked highest, and which shouldn't be ranked at all?
I don't think PSU is overrated in general. I think they were overrated at the end of 2016, thanks to a fluky win over tOSU and a pisspoor schedule, that they weren't even that dominant against.

Just to make sure we’re all on the same page here, you’re saying the wins over two top 6 teams say less about a team than the halftime scores of two games they won 84-12?
Here are the two statements I was challenging:
1) Penn State was a Top 5/Playoff team in 2016
2) Penn State "improved as the 2016 season went on."For #1, my much bigger arguments than halftime scores against Sparty/Rutgers are: Penn State lost to a 5 loss Pitt team AND they lost to Michigan 49-10. So what do they have to counterbalance those two games? The wins over tOSU and Wisconsin. tOSU was a very good team that year, but my contention is that Penn State's win was lucky/flukish. It obviously counts in the standings, but if we are discussing how good a team is, it matters.
For Wisconsin, in addition to Penn State having to rally from 28-7 in that game, my main point was that Wisky beat NOBODY that year, other than a 2 point win over 8-4 LSU in Green Bay and an 8 point win over a MAC team in their bowl. So to call Wisky a "top 6" team is more a function of their schedule than Wisky's actual power (Sagarin's final ratings had Wisky at 9, and PSU at 13, BTW).
For #2, that's the point made where I think the scores are relevant. Penn State closed 2016's regular season against one team that you could generously call mediocre, and two that were truly awful. The fact that they trailed the mediocre one with 5:00 left in the game, and struggled mightily until late in the game with both of the awful teams certainly suggests that they had not actually developed into some juggernaut powerhouse, but instead that they closed the season on a winning streak due to schedule, with scores that were "prettier" than the actual games.
I'm not a B1G hater, but the fact is that, due to the size of the conference, and the consolidation of top programs in one division, you can end up playing a VERY weak conference schedule, leading average to above average-level teams to elite-looking records. It happened with Wisconsin in 2016, and Iowa the year before.
It also allows teams who pull off a pretty fortunate win to ride the rest of their schedule to a division title, without necessarily being the best team in the division (Sparty '15, PSU '16).

You sound like a fucking vagina right now. Still salty about missing the playoff that year?
You are suuuuch a badass supreme!! You don't take to computers, you WATCH FOOOBAWWW!!! You say FUCK a lot! FUCK FUCK!
I think any person can read my posts and read yours and determine who the salty one is. OU didn't deserve a playoff spot in 2016 over any of the teams that went, so no, not salty at all.

So you opened over a 35 raise to 75, someone cold-called the 75 with K6o, and then the person who made it 35, folded for 40 more into a pot of 200 closing the action??? Jesus H Christ, I need in this game.
The K6 player in this hand can either see your cards or is dreadful at poker, period.
