Discovered a nice life mental hack as a frugal person: I ended up buying tickets to game 7 of the first two Canucks series.

Feels like a freeroll.

If they win the series before game 7 (which they did in the first round), awesome, on to the next round!

If they lose the series before game 7, whatever, **** the 'Nucks.

And if it goes to game 7, ok, I'm on the hook for lottsa $$$... but it's game freakin' 7 and I'll be there, that's cool!

Played poker last night for the first time in a few months after heading into the casino to have dinner with a friend.

Sat at 5/10 with him and played several hours at both the tables at that stake. Just grim, silent, nitty reg filled tables of headphones in and phone watching. And it’s been the same the other few times I’ve been this year

Eventually got bored of it and played some 2/3 which was talkative and splashy and a lot more enjoyable. And so I think I’m a 2/3 player now

I made the decision to stop playing higher stakes a while back because I just don't have the time to play the hours to get in poker shape at those stakes. Good for you FW. And hoping better days are coming.

2/3/6 I open utg +1 to 20 with AQo 3 callers to bb who shoves his last 250. I re-shove 700 total and mp calls his last 300.

A on the flop and we scoop vs 89ss and 44

thanks and yes, I'm in the same boat. While I played a lot of hands in an online game last year, I've only played about 50 hours of live poker since October and am very rusty. Not sure I have any poker fitness for hand watching, patience or aggression and at tables full of TAGnits at 5/10 I wouldn't be beating the rake IMO

Got a speeding ticket an hour ago.

Honestly I'm not even mad, for as fast as I drive I've avoided speeding tickets for the last 10 years which is a miracle in itself.

Surprisingly, the cop did not accept my excuse that I was accelerating to dry my car faster following a carwash (100% true btw).

Good thing I made $22K at $5/5 last month so I can afford to blow some money fighting this ticket.

5/10 is a miserable existence

Obviously bankroll matters for what I am about to say, but in order of enjoyment the blind ranks are

25/50+
1/2 or 1/3
10/25
5/10
2/5

I've think I've gotten 7 speeding tickets in my lifetime to date, which seems way on the high side for how slow / cautious / laidback I drive overall (admittedly mellowing with age).

That was my perception of the CAZ 3/5 vs 2/3 (now true NL). However in three years I won at 3/5 while losing at everything else. And that is without the AUS confiscatory rake.

DPS clocked me at 85 (they said)(20 over) on my way to Vegas this spring north of Kingman. Got a ticket for 'wasting finite resources'. Under $100 fine, no points, no insurance notification. Calling that a win.

Last one before that was coming home from my LV bachelor party 14 years ago, driving my buddies CTS-V (think 4 door sedan with a Corvette drivetrain). Bigger fine, but at least it's finally fallen off my record.

Never have I ever paid a parking ticket from a municipality. ASU ticketed me once on campus, which I paid, because it would have kept me from graduating, otherwise. No impact/issue not paying a city parking ticket.

Last edited by AzOther1; 05-08-2024 at 01:43 PM. Reason: parking tickets = revenue enhancement

I accumulated lots of parking tickets while at university when I realized there didn't seem to be any repercussions... until one day returning to find the wheel-lock-of-death put on one of my wheels. Lol, I was forced to pay up.

I returned to the university a couple decades later on a quiet summer Sunday with my wife to stroll around the campus. When we got back to the car (one of only about a half dozen parked in the parking lot that day), I had a ticket. Lol, I stiffed them on that one.
