I'm told by the in-store pharmacy at Safeway to come back in 15 minutes so I get a coffee at the in-store Starbucks and sit down. 1,000 y.o. man sees a fresh victim and launches into 'this town is full of rich people (true) who want the poor to get nothing (possible), no Medicare, Food Stamps etc, etc. Trump is a dictator who's going to start WWIII and I have to be careful what I say to people in this town bec they're all Republican nut-jobs.' So I suppose that I don't look like a Republican nut-job and I DO have 15 whole minutes to kill so I politely listen to the rant.

Go back to the pharmacy and tell them that next time I'm going to roam around rather than sit at Starbucks bec there's a nut-job there. They ask 'The old guy w/ the 'Veteran Hat', the cane and the shorts that told you he has a bad knee?' 'Yes.' 'He's here all of the time.' I say 'Thanks for the warning. You should give me some quaaludes for my trouble.' Turns out that's a no.

It's the freaking LC thread, ignoring 90% of the posts is what you're supposed to do.

The point about not buying individual stocks is about avoiding variance, not that you can or can't perform various types of analysis. Many great stocks have disappeared. Even the greatest (buffet) earns against stock picking

That said I pick em cause its fun and I like risk...

If you do it, share the link.

crosspost from midhigh

leo doc says he can't post pictures any more so he asked me to post this one. More to come eventually

And just so everyone is clear, that big boy on the top right was landed by yours truly.

Obama?

Decent reg opens EP, folded to us in the CO with A9s, blinds are decent, this is a trivial fold, no?

Easy muck.

Lets say you call and the board is A23 and reg leads out, what do?

Only when I'm in God mode, which isn't often.

My suggestion was that if you insist on playing this hand that it is a 3-bet, but against an EP range where at least 90% dominates us and we dominate nothing, I thought this was pretty easy. At least this was the old school thinking.

I don't recall Aaron W. posting prior to the merge of micros and small stakes, so I'm going to guess he came from the micros forum.

I miss the pre-merger days.

Watched a guy call down every street on AK5-4-3 with A7 and was thinking on the premise of "I have top pair, I cannot fold" when, if your opponent isn't bluffing, you literally beat one Ax hand.

Opponent had A6, obv

Small steaks in a nutshell right there.

I don't know why everyone is so protective of the NC/LC thread.

Back in the good ol days I used to skip hundreds of posts every fall about gogogo Ravens -3.5 and **** Brady and whatever.

It's not that big of a deal.

Where is A7 in your calling distribution? How do you play KQ or JJ in the villain's seat? This to say, I'd need some math to say that folding TP is a no brainer and that calling it is clearly fishcakes. I suspect it is fine. If you fold A7 and A8 and raise some bigger A's for value, I suspect that recklessly bluffing becomes super profitable. (having not done my homework here, I could be hugely wrong, but my gut says you're over folding if you do).

No money in poker; everyone's solid.

Amen sister.

Nice. Excellent game selection.

Samesies. I only make these kinds of folds in tournaments though because I'm a huge fish.

aaron w, please stop

Well, that's polite.

Seems tough to beat a game where they take out 2.4 BB for the jackpot and 8-10 BB for rake .

*Shrug* You're the boss. If you want to defend Calli's repeated belligerence, I have no ability to stop you.

At first it bothered me, but then I became fascinated by it. What happens when two guys who need to get the last word get into an argument? Do they enjoy it? Would it escalate into a battle to the death? That may be the only way to end it. I kind of want to let it go on forever to see how it plays out.

It's the most ridiculous topic too. We could be arguing about index funds vs picking individual stocks.
