I didn't see the first part of the hand.

Then they showed chip counts and Marle was up about $2,600.

I don't know how it ended but I'm glad it went better than that time she lost early and went on megatilt.
Mamacita's firs thand she called off her 1k stack with AQ vs Marle's AK AIPF, and Marle held.

Didn't seem to be a good night for Mamacita, at least pokerwise.

Nope. Looks nothing like Tim’s GF. This girl is a poker dealer.

I can speak to this.. I was putting in roughly 40/50 hrs a month (rec player not job) and I was finding myself needing to say "I've only been here for 2 hours, I atleast need to stay for another 2 more).. it started to become a chore.

I'm currently in the middle of 6 month break to see if that helps spark the interest again..

Joe has an emotional breakdown and says--among many other things--that he doesn't play poker anymore.
Question: why are guys like Polk and Ingram quitting poker? I don't understand it at all (honestly)
He has stated a few times the reason he quit is because he became bored with the game and that boredom led to him playing horribly. That's when he knew it was time to get out.

Doug doesn't like poker anymore, bored, thinks software/solvers has taken enjoyment out of the game.

Joey said he would still play online, as he knew it, if it was still available to him.

Maybe Boski can confirm what was used on him. In any event, as someone pointed out earlier (and I'll quote Prince here), the first time ain't always the greatest. Give it another shot.
What ?

I do not practice "straight razor/barber law", but I have had both shaves and haircuts from barbers who used straight razors. There is no way they bought a new straight razor every time.

A quick google turned up corboration, see . below:

"State Board has the answer

Each state’s health authority lays out specific requirements for clean and safe practices in barbershops. We have checked rules & regs in many states including OR, CA, WA, CO, UT, PA, FL, TN, NY, NJ… In fact, the only state we have confirmed explicitly prohibits use of conventional straight razors is Rhode Island!

Now, obviously we are not lawyers, we are just advocates for a better world with a more sustainable culture. As such, give your local health authority a call. We have phoned different states and most often the response to, "Are reusable straight razors illegal to use in the shop?" is, "Who told you that? Of course it's fine to use those..."

Where did you come up with "edges so small these days, and getting smaller by the day"? Maybe for players who don't know how to adjust, but I think it's the opposite.

As far as Doug getting bored, wouldn't you be bored if you went into a casino to play $.01/$.02 with a $2 max buy in? It's probably even less money to him than that, so I can understand why he's bored. As for Joey, maybe he's been losing, who knows.

Yes playing poker for a living full time is definitely not for everyone. And if you have daily stress of possibly losing, you're likely playing under rolled.

You're done (exiled from this thread). I'm guessing you are already a exiled poster. So you did it again, congrats!

Fair enough. Admittedly, my lawyering days are behind me (or actually never happened). I tried to learn to shave with a straight razor a few years ago and it's a difficult skill to master, or even be good enough at to do without bleeding out.

In that venture I checked out some message boards and the conversations led me to believe it was a law. Even visiting a local shop here in Western PA led me to believe that it was a law and as you point out, it's not.

Still a good idea not to go anywhere that will reuse a straight razor even after cleaning it, but clearly not illegal.

From years of experience getting shaves and razor-cut haircuts, but no particular expertise, I think every shop I've been to does clean their straight razors after each use. (I've been in shops in London, Las Vegas, and Escazu in recent years.) All were very professional and I doubt that any I've gone to would fail to do so; I expect each presents little risk.

I think you were very brave to try to give yourself a straight-razor shave, but getting one in a shop seems to involve less blood loss.

Give it a try.

QUESTION/POLL...
I'm curious ... a lot of people on here talk about all the typical vloggers and vlogs in general... being a vlogger (ME) and knowing I still have work to do (posting more regularly etc) I'm curious....

What variety of things would you want to see and have in a vlog???

Advantage Player has started posting hands on IG that are pretty entertaining. He seems to be a straight cash crusher and does many things that a lot of players would never dream of doing. Just another example of what it takes to be a true crusher imo.

Are you saying the game is getting easier, not more difficult? But I get what you are saying. Some people like spending hundreds of hours studying a game in order to a small edge to remain profitable. For 99% of people, though, that is neither realistic nor their idea of fun.

I wasnt just referring to Doug specifically when speaking of boredom, I was speaking in general. Why does someone quitting seemingly always have to be about being a losing player or you seemingly suggesting Doug cant find games big enough for his roll (LOL at that)? Why cant it be that yes, some people have gotten bored with poker? I did after 1 year playing what I would call full time, so I can definitely confirm that this is a distinct possibility. Maybe my situation wasnt exactly boredom. Maybe it was I was unwilling to put in the work because I found sitting at a poker table 40 hours a week was as bad as sitting at a cubicle 40 hours a week. Call it whatever you want

Hey if you enjoy playing poker and playing a lot of hours, great, have at it. However, it is difficult for me to fathom that having to do extensive studying, hand analysis, computer sims, pay for training just to play 1/2NL is actually going to 1. Make the game easier and 2. Bring people into the game. That's the nature of the beast though.
