Spins are low stack and 3 handed though. You can legitimately play every hand of all of them. Way tougher to play multiple tables

Back in my restaurant days, we called it culinesia when we went 50 feet from the grill back to the walkin refrigerator and couldn't remember why. To be fair, we were on all sorts of drugs at the time.

It's been noticeable enough that I think I should go get checked out.
Just be sure to write person woman man camera TV on the palm of your hand in case they give you a pop quiz.

Re the losing mental acuity with age, I see this with my father. He was a long term Mensa member who went to the best/second best university in the UK and came top of his class in his math degree before being at the forefront of innovation in his chosen field. He was also a real alpha and a very tough disciplinarian when I was growing up

Now at 80, he’s still bright but a lot slower mentally as well as physically. He is also conflict averse and is a total pussy with my mother and regularly naps at lunchtime/falls asleep in front of the tv

I raise this because he’s not dissimilar in age to your two Presidential candidates. I’m a huge believer in wisdom and experience over youth and vigour when it comes to management and leadership candidates but by Jesus that’s a big job for someone in their lte 70s or early 80s

^^^^

This take is very similar to mine on the USA#1 candidate race (which I had the last time around and who knew those two would look like punk kids compared to this time around). And this is from someone who has no horse in the race / doesn't care, but cripes there really should be an age limit.

s&p hitting all-time highs once again

i expect it to drop but it'd have to drop like 35% to reach pandemic lows.

USA #1!

Where's DC..... seems like a good time to needle him

My cursory glances at long lines suggest the market crashes max out at about 1/3 of the previous high.

On of the main issues with the job is that the ones most qualified don’t want the job.

I just 3-bet THE Johnny Chan with 75 suited. He looked at me carefully, asked how much I had (I covered). Eventually he folded.

I feel like Matt Damon from Rounders.

Yeah I agree there should be an age cap. It's pretty depressing when your only options are 2 old white men whose brains are turning to mush.

Imperial used to be rated higher than Oxford, certainly in the science subjects. Not sure about now

Michel: "Look...Croissant, I never told you this, but about a year ago, I was playing poker at the Casino des Atlantes, and Marcel Luske walks in. He sits down at the 50/100 pot limit game. And, I mean, the whole place stops, right? Just watching this guy play. After a while there isn't a ******ed European gambling game going, because everybody's just, you know, watching this guy."

- Joey Croissant nods -

Michel: "So you know what I did? I sat down."

Joey Croissant: "No way, you need at least 300,000 euros to sit down at a game like that. Such bad financial management is typical of a boorish American!"

- Joey Croissant and Michel laugh for twenty-six minutes -

Michel: "Right, okay, but seriously, I played for an hour, doing nothing but folding. Then I won a huge pot."

Michel: "I raised. And he came over the top of me, like I was a boorish American. I re-popped it. He potted it again. I think for like two seconds and then I re-pot it."

Joey Croissant: "Jesus [censored] Christ, how much money did you have?"

Michel: "After I bet I would quietly slide my chips back toward my stack, nobody noticed. Anyway, he thinks for a while, looks at me, checks his cards again, and he mucks. I take it down. And then he looks at me and says, 'I have to know. Did you have it?' And I said, 'I'm sorry Marcel, I can't remember.'"

Joey Croissant: "Face!"

Michel: "I know, totally. Anyway, based on that one hand, I felt confident gambling for all the money I had, at one time."
Spoiler:
Joey Croissant: "Aces? Kings? Ace-King doublesuited? Suited aces? High connectors? Middle doublesuited connectors? Two big pair?"

Michel: "Rags."

Joey Croissant: "That's probably fine too, you're only like a 48/52 dog."

Did you exchange numbers? Getting Johnny Chan into some of your games could be huge for you.

People love to play with Johnny Chan. They just give their money away to him, saying that they got to play with a world champ!
