If someone would pass along to RTP that the Clippers were clearly never a contender and their two “stars” scored a combined 24 points on 82 minutes of play, that’d be great.
I didn’t think top players were capable of subpar games. I don’t understand it.

Btw guys, I had Nugs +7.5 and I hammered their sweet sweet ML. Clippers were nothing but a heartless PAPER champion.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee hit the BBJ on Bros!

22 in SB, raise and some calls, I call

Flop 3h 2h 2c, I check, bet, call

turn brick, I check, he pots, I minraise (don't wanna lose him obv), he calls

River 5h, I ship for half pot effective, he snaps with the steel wheel

Little over $3,800... that's good for 2 bullets at 10/20, right?

Spoiler:
I keed... the story of my entire existence on bros is play good at micro stakes, play higher, run bad, lose too much, rinse repeat ad infinitum.

Not gonna play any higher than my normal stakes until I can cash everything out down to $500 or so left to monkey around

Thankfully, you can net winnings and losses as a pro so it just comes down to how much cash you have in your wallet at the end of the year no?

lots of benefits to filing as a pro which is cool.

More like it comes down to what it looks like you made on paper. Seems like a good reason to use cash and crypto as much as reasonable.

I am also joking. Probably.

Welcome back, dweile. AFAIK, Poker Income Tracker is still around, and a lot of people talk about Poker Bankroll Tracker as well.

I still use a spreadsheet, and it works fine. Mostly I just haven't upgraded because I don't want to try to figure out how to get all my old data into a new app.

I'm more interested in Slim's take on roboinvesting.

I just discovered it (I'm a bit slow & old) & think it's pretty awesome.

Have any of the robo-advisors shown the ability to outperform an index fund? You can just use target date funds for rebalancing.

By your logic, the Clippers, who have two stars when the Raptors only ever had 1.

Both lost in game 7 in the same round. The Clippers had a 3-1 lead and choked.

Kahwi is not the only reason the Raptors have a title but you don’t watch the games anyway so you’d have no way of knowing how that team won the title.

Additionally, one of the stars is the same one who singlehandedly won the championship last year.
But who needs to watch games or use logic with a crystal ball.
