    Poker players can be so annoying. Karma is a bitch.
     

    Ha I was out front waiting for my ride and that group with the pink hats came out front. Had no clue they were this guy with his posse. They seemed to be having a good time.

    Ha, sorry.

    I checked the turn to disguise the strength of my hand, and it cost me. The river was a 4, and he lead with a full pot size bet. I called and he had A-4.

    Logically that doesn't make much sense to check to disguise the strength of your hand. He knows you know he has an ace. If you check the turn and then bet at all on the river, you are still saying you have an ace or bluffing. If you bet on the turn, he has to make a decision whether you have the ace or you are bluffing that you know he has an ace so if you are betting you must have that beat. He isn't folding the turn after showing the ace to the table. He doesn't want to look like a pussy to the rest of the table. Even if he didn't show I don't think he is folding in a 1/2 game. I think betting relatively large on turn and river is the play. Good thing you didn't though.

    you are making spain look more attractive than france, and i didnt think that was possible.  

    Did December and most of January in Spain and absolutely loved it. Not sure how much of that had to do with spending the previous month around Italians though.

  4. Wondering if anybody has an opinion on mystery bounty tourneys. I am booked for June 27-July 3 in Vegas and thinking about the Golden Nugget $1100 Mystery Bounty $1 mill. gtd. Too much $$ goes to bounties in these things?

  5. Not that this is what happened in your case, but Burger King started the whole posting the price for the small combo on the menu board but asking you “would you like a medium or large?” as if those were your only choices. Other places usually ask if you want to upsize. BK tries to trick you into it.

    Anyone playing WSOP now? I saw the $300 gladiators event going on, figured some surly (99%) folk would be playing. I'm gonna play the colossus at the end of the month, the online $500 deep stack, and then after winning either/both of those I'll play the main. ;)

    I am trying to schedule right now. I want to do June 23-30 so I can do the Millionaire Maker and maybe the $600 Deepstack, but might have to do June 26-July 3. If I did that it would be the $600 Deepstack and the Colossus. I am at the mercy of a crappy flight schedule out of Grand Junction, CO.

  7. Only because I think they are the only sandwiches that haven’t been mentioned, the old standard diner open faced roast beef or turkey with gravy and mashed potatoes. Always ordered these when we were on the road on vacation.

    You can get back in from Mexico without a passport. But I think you need one to travel around in there if you’re going a certain distance away from border iirc. Gotta be same deal in Canada.

    You “can” get back in from Mexico without a passport but are supposed to have one. We were down near the border probably 10 or so years ago and decided just to cross the bridge to Mexico and walk right back. Just put like 25 cents in a turnstile to get in with nobody in between here and Mexico to care about you coming in. Before we could get to the first block of cut rate dentists and pharmacists we crossed the street and headed back towards America. Now there was a line. We see they are asking for passports. We look at each other with a WTF look. Tell the guy we didn’t know we needed passports. He asked us our names and where we were born and looked it up in the computer. Told us next time to have a passport. I wouldn’t try again without one.

    Hit Reese Bros a couple weekends ago while in San Antonio.  Food is legit. Ordered a 1/4 of meats just to try as much as possible.  Poblano mac and cheese is great, ribs were fantastic and loved the homeade tortillas.  You get to kinds of sauce, one is traditional and the other is kind of a creamy salsa.  All in all would recommend; place is about two blocks south of the Alamo dome right off the highway. 

    Your thoughts matched mine. Loved the ribs and poblano mac and cheese. I also loved the carnitas. I would go again but skip the brisket.

    I don’t believe the police knew that when they entered the building, and especially when they heard second floor shots fired and then went up the stairs. 
     

    They knew there was a shooter, there were kids, and most likely the shooter intended to not be captured alive. They moved to engage as quickly and surely as possible. 
     

    Courage is not being unafraid. Courage is doing your duty despite being afraid. 

    If the Uvalde shooter was in that hallway outside of that classroom he would have been shot and killed pronto. If the Nashville shooter was inside a classroom with 30 people, we don't know what the Nashville police would have done.

    I think any Uvalde police still in law enforcement should be required to attend a training event (observed by victims’ families) where they watch this video and explain what went right and wrong. 

    Have the shooter out in the open in a lobby area instead of holed up in a classroom full of kids?

  12. Classless is such a weird word to use by Vitale for this situation. He can debate whether CDC should name RT the next coach based on what we have seen so far, but he can't say we are "classless" for not have made a decision yet. That has nothing to do with class. There is still information to be used in the decision and CDC would be a fool to make the decision before all of that information is in. It is possible that CDC is 95% on board with RT, but there is that 5% chance based on what could happen tomorrow that he would want to go a different direction.

    But po, we haven't been to the Sweet Sixteen in 15 years. That should be enough.

    This isn't your random 7 seed Longhorn team. It is a 2 seed. Whenever we have had a 1 or 2 seed, we have made it to the Elite 8. We need to at least see how we play tomorrow. I don't think that is too much to ask.

    Ultimate cheeseburger from Jack was my go to. 

    Mine too. Then they changed it from having just mayo on it, to mayo, mustard and ketchup. For some reason just mayo and no veggies worked on this burger. I liked to get the ultimate cheeseburger and 2 tacos instead of fries.
