i've been getting into the pokers recently with a bunch of pit stops at card rooms recently on my roadtrip back east from the ozarks

it's been the softest lineups of my life

it's still just lol variance but over 48 hours i'm only winning 4bb/hour at 1-2 games

did lose a 6k pot to a terrible runout when table whale reshoved with a gut shot and binked it so i guess I can lean on that for comfort, but i definitely find myself making big blunders each session and seriously considering investing in coaching or at least reading a book or two to button up and improve for lolstakes live america

i feel deeply ashamed to be up only $8 an hour playing in these disgustingly bad lineups


squidz - each time i perused the bj tables it was usually 6:5 payout and if not then they only penetrated like 60% of the 6 decks so I decided to pass and just focus on pokerz

yep, addicts lie all the time to cover up/protect their habit. even totally irrationally and often the more irrational, the angrier they get

super sad as she hardly ever drank even 4 years ago and almost none of the personality issues/our problems existed.

@rickroll - Stick with checking out every little dump you pass for bj. There are still incredible games out there. Bad penetration can lead to other fun things. Shuffle tracking can get quite technical BUT there are still casinos in the hinterlands that have such easy to track shuffles that with the tinyest amt of coaching (happy to offer input and direction) can become hugely profitible.

I have about a million fun shuffletracking stories. A personal favorite was at the height of our notoriety my pal went into the strat in LV cuz she heard they changed their shuffle and it was now trackable. She had been 86'd there multiple times but we were not afraid giving it the old college try and the worst thing that happens is they refuse to deal the cards and we did not particularly care if we got re flyered cuz we were very active and getting flyered on the regular anyway. They new exactly who she was AND they also knew her play partner. For some reason casino higher ups made thier own judgement and decided based on their play that they were fine with the action. 2 days and 6 figures later they finally stopped dealing the cards.

The point of the story is not only are they brain dead but even when they have info that a notorious high stakes team player is in their casino they may decide that today their action is "OK".

I dont want to discuss exact shuffles and ideas in a public forum but am happy to discuss via pm if it is something u r working on/interested in.

yeah i legit considered joining the dark side for a 401k etc and made a habit of clicking the "careers" page on various casino websites and the few that published salaries were all like 30k, even seemingly important positions had fairly low pay

Sorry to read this. Sure you'll do what you can for your kids.

Uncle Feels & Everyone else going through it right now, keep your chin up. One step, one day at a time. It'll get better.

I have to tell myself that daily. It's a crappy-ass platitude, I know, but it's the only thing helping me through the grieiving process right now.

We should all get together in Vegas in December (around/just before WPT, after FU-F1) and have some fun. Good games, video poker degenning, better food, laughs and stories. Oh, and make fun of Zoltan, because why not.

Cannonball Run III will not be WSOP 2024. It'll be WPT 2024.

I think your baseline play should be from "The Course" and using the new book as an exploit when the conditions are right.

"The Course" appears to be geared towards "smart" players. What about for us dummies?

thanks sir will do. appreciate it

I think course has pretty loose preflop hands for me from what I've seen so I might tailor it back some but that makes sense

You’ve been pretty cool about me slamming a 12 pack when we ride. Thanks for not making me feel awkward about it

Will be doing some tests next week to hopefully get a clearer picture of the path ahead, but my guess is that it is going to be a very long difficult road.

By the power of LaserDick, be healed!

is that the codename of your current top secret project laserdick?

Foldy made a logo for it, but the link is now dead.

is that a sexual thing like sounding or a more advanced version of the prince albert?

The latter.

BTW, Happy Leapday, degens.

Who’s going to be in Vegas during WSOP???

I made a thread.

Not me this year. I’m going on a tour to Fiji in June with my son’s rugby team

Should save me $10k if last year is anything to go by

The situation with Luttrell is complicated. Ed Darrack's book "Victory Point" discusses the operation as it tied into the larger USMC operation his book discusses. Very briefly, the 'Lone Survivor' operation was a giant screwup. Not so much because 3 of the 4 SEALs died, though that was awful, but because their QRF got blown out of the sky too, killing an additional 16 JSOC personnel. That big of a disaster, (cf Jessica Lynch,) unfortunately encourages those involved and in the chain of command, to create and run with a narrative that justifies the sacrifice, throwing medals at the participants, etc...

Which is a long way from the the usual discussion at 2+2, so I'll stop there. Happy to explain any of the acronyms.

I'm very sorry to read about things like nerve damage, separations leading to divorce, and other bad news in these last couple of pages. I hope things improve for you all and your loved ones.

WPT in December for me this year.

My youngest graduates high school and Mrs Breeze and I have our 25th anniversary in June.

A guilty pleasure of mine is unwilling hero dude against it all type o' flicks. I always wonder when it says based on a true story exactly how full of sheeyit they are. So I would really enjoy hearing all about what you know with the acronyms explained.
