POG PUB NOVEMBER 2015 (LC; NSFW) G is for Gobble Gobble and Gratitude - Page 6

Driving to the casino today for the first time I thought I may suffer from more than just general anxiety or something. Seemed like it would just be easy to drive into incoming traffic. Actually almost was afraid I would lose control of my body and be forced to drive into traffic of that makes any sense. Never really had such a feeling.

I blame not drinking for a couple weeks.

Probably shouldn't have listened to that freakonomics about suicide

They tried that in socal. As I understand it, it's singlehandedly responsible for 65% of climate change.

I don't doubt it.

I wonder if homeless people in Hawaii are happier than most of us wherever we live.

Eliminating Supernova Elite is going to hurt online poker??? I say the result is "no effect".

Having the poker rooms eliminate sports betting would be more detrimental imo.

Am I the only one excited about the future of self driving cars? Why are people so deathly afraid of these things?

No. I hate driving and people are terrible drivers. Basically everyone I talk to loves the idea of self driving cars.

I'm sure some mouth breathes don't. Plus insurance companies. And highway patrol. And courts

I feel like still being a rakeback pro in 2015 is like still being a fletcher or alchemist.

Driverless cars sound like they're going to be awesome after about a ten year period of legal nightmare.

Rake back pros are as much of a fiction as the break even non showdown winnings and half a dozen other nonsense poker pro myths.

a ton of my profit came from rackeback. iirc my roi before rakeback was like 2.3%. after rakeback it was around 3%.

rakeback was more extreme for heads up hypers, cuz rake was so outrageously high, and rois were so low.

i cant believe some of those sickos had like 7% roi. i think that's over 1k an hour. i could be way off on that. ibavly would probably know

I will suicide when I am no longer free. As long as I can act and make choices, I will go on.

When I do, I will try not to leave a mess. Hemingway and Cobain, gods love them, were such *******s about it, blowing their brains all over the place. Somebody has to clean that **** up and that is going to bum them out.

I've never done heroin so I'd like to start with a little taste to see what it feels like. Then a nice big dose to feel that full heroin bang. Then enough to kill an elephant. Nice and clean.

No they're not. Small stakes PLO is raked ridiculously. No matter how good you are, most of your profit will be rakeback, and it's easily possible to make a good amount of money doing t.
