    Lots of chatter about "reverse repo" by the fed heating up. This is not on mainstream media and I don't think 95% of the population would grasp the concept anyway. Anyone on here know the true impact?  I'm just seeing the doomsday prognostication on YouTube but there is quite a bit of it in the last couple of days.

    Is this where the used car dealer comes to repo your car and you steal his while pretending to go into the house to look for your keys?

    Yea saw a group of high school kids delay a Flight 7 hours because they refused to put on their masks.  Kids were from Charlotte.   No CR, I get this thing is winding down and #Merica but  if they’re requiring the masks and you decide to fly with said airline, put on your god damn masks

    @PilotsError you’re gonna beg me for this?  Lol.  Explain

    Also, who was the Asian guy with long hair at the dining table?  They never introduced him, unless I missed it. 

    I'm gonna have to rewatch but are you talking about Ed Lee?

    Uh dude Paul Qui got turbo fucked and doesnt have a restaurant outside of east side kings now. 

    Sounds like Qui screwed Qui.  Why is it the most talented ones seem a bit volatile, like isn't Mike Voltaggio crazyish? 

     

     

    They have guys like Talde on as judges.  He was above average but there were quite a few chefs more deserving of the spot imo.

    Of the three first food that blew you away: Tom and Padma say Gabe. Gail said Dawn. Byron had best all over plating according to Padma. Tom said no one this season was that inovating. Shota came close. 

    Telling.  I think Gabe deserved the W, execution wise, but yeah, nothing I saw at the final table told me they would win most of the other seasons.  But the right person won.

    There is no policy for or against saving seats. Anyone is allowed to say a seat is saved and anyone else is allowed to sit there anyway.  A FA may ask if you are willing to change seats to accommodate a family but you are well within you’re rights to say nah. 

    Ok, but at some point the flight attendant is going to get involved and fat and sweaty guy will be taking that middle seat.

    He doesn't know how to fight at all.  That "hook" was just a flailing push punch. When a southpaw who knows how to fight throws a lead hook he drop steps and angles off,  pivots his right foot and snaps the hook through.  

    This guy had his head back and was trying a windmill hook. His feet were not right,  and he had no connection to the punch with his body. 

    The redneck won the foot position war and had his left foot outside, trapping the WR's lead foot and threw an actual hook.  

    Black dude was fighting the way all inexperienced and untrained fighters fight.  Head back, body leaning away to avoid getting hit and then closing his eyes and swinging wildly.  Red neck has clearly fought before

    Sad to hear the kid is in a coma. But I don’t understand his fight stance at all. He looked to line up southpaw, but then tried a right hook. Maybe he just can’t throw a jab?

    Sorry to hear that.  I think the kid has no idea how to fight and I've seen a lot of guys with that sort of head back stance.  Did not want to get hit.  That was sad.

    Based on nothing but my gut:  Buy

    Buy or Sell:  The Longhorns have two 1,000 yard running backs this year

    Sell.  Bijan will get fed early and often, he hits for 1300 yds.  Keilan and Roshon will split carries.  Neither gets to 1,000.

     

    Buy or sell: Jake Smith gets over 500 yards receiving.

    Right, or "hmm, I've folded like 13 hands in a row, kinda bored, let's pop it up!" 

    Right, or "if there is anything playable within the next five hands I'll raise as I don't want to look too tight or the table thinks I'm tight so I may steal a pot." Doesn't mean you didn't get hosed, but I'm not sure the foil is a true donk.  He just got lucky that he hit the flop and you hit the turn.  Sucks, but as you like to say, it's poker.

    if NO adds Keon Johnson to Jaxson Hayes and Zion, that's lb for lb the best trio of athletes in the league, and possibly/probably the three freakiest athletes to ever play together on one team. i mean Jaxson would be the least freaky, least athletic dude of the bunch. i would love to see those three running some fast breaks together.

     

     

    Keon Johnson makes Kerwin Roach look like Brandy Perryman.

    Brandy Perryman makes most of us look like Brandy Perryman's less athletic younger brother.

    I do let it go in real life.  That's why I ranted on a trivial surly thread that specifically asks for trivial rants.  I've worked in bars and restaurants, I know they're just following the manager schtick (like a verbal form of flair).  I'm polite, never linger at a table, and I never go below 20-25%.

    Having said that, I didn't really think about the mystery shopper angle that makes them need to go through the whole schpeel. Then again, as I think about the dives I eat in, ain't no secret shopper shit going on.  

    No worries.  Yes, I find the "how about some delicious macaroni poppers to go with your electric margarita" spiel a bit annoying, but they're just covering their asses.  Still prefer those types to the "what do you want" waiters that hate life.  

     

    But yes, I used to work at a place that did the mystery shop thing.  It was horrible.  "Why didn't you point out the blackboard specials?"  Because they said "we're ready and in a hurry."

    Had two pretty interesting hands in Vegas last week:

    $800 Ultimate Stack at Venetian, 200/300/300 blinds, I have 20k of 40k start stack. Early pos goes 700, button goes 3500. Neither had been crazily out of line. I have QQ in the BB. I decide to flat the 3500 as jamming feels like overkill but 4b small also just screams I HAZ HUGE HAND. Early pos comes along, so 11k in pot, I have 16.5 back. Flop is 753. I check, planning now to jam over BTN c-bet. Checks through though. Turn Q. BOINGA.  I check again, and again it checks through. River T. I lead 10k. Early pos thinks and folds, BTN thinks and jams, I obv snap call and he turns over the ole 64 offsuit. LOLOLOL. So he just randomly decides to 3b trash and of course I have the exact stack to flat call and he gets a 753Q runout with 64 vs QQ and also no river board pair. COOL. I re-enter and basically never have anything until I bust 8 hours later.

    $140 at Aria, down to 18 players of 97, paying 13. I have lost 2 all in pots that each would have made me tourney chipleader. One was with about 40 left, I call A9 on ATT8ss, he has QJ and rivers a 9.  Then the next was with about 22 left, guy jams 18 bigs, I rejam JJ, he has 77, 7 window. 

    So now I have about 13 bigs and min-open AThh UTG.  Tight guy in MP calls, BB calls. About 37k in pot, I have about 55 back. Flop A93. BB jams for like 70. MP has about 45k back. I jam also. BB now exposes his hand before MP acts and shows A2. NOW, MP exposes his hand without acting, AJ.  MP tanks about 3 minutes and then calls. It really sucks that MP gets to see that he has one of the players beat AND that there is only one A remaining so I cannot have AA and very unlikely to have AK or AQ. So for me to get in this spot, I need MP to flat AJ with 10 bigs instead of 3b all in (I would fold to this player's 3b) AND BB to flat AND the case ace to fall AND BB to jam AND BB to expose his hand. I do not catch up, and am allin the next hand for the BB and ante. I get 22, 3 players limp and I beat 2 of them but lose to SB's 43o as he flops a 4 (same guy who binked his QJ against me earlier in huge pot).

    I LOVE PLAY POOOOOOKAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Ugh.  But some tight players will just have it in their mind that "oh shit, I look tooooo tight, I'm gonna bet big with any one gapper and then duck out if I don't hit."

    I took over 7.5. However, that was -125.

    Max bet it , I think it's at -133 and my local won't let me bet more.  I've lost a ton of money betting Texas overs over the years.  This is a bet for Sark and a pretty questionable conference imo.
