No, they all look pretty boring I don't really get the allure.

I do like watching Triton poker though and some latb.

I’m kind of just watching some of them now to see the absurd thinking of llsnl players that think they’re “crushers” lol.
Yeah I enjoyed Triton cash. Latb is usually pretty solid too.

LATB solid??? Every time I watch, I think, "Man, I wish there was some way I could get into that game." (But not the big game on Fridays so much.)

Theyve said on stream that they only let action players in that 5/5 ante LATB game and they are turning away nit pros left and right trying to swim in that tank.

I think he meant as viewing for entertainment.

There's a lot more for him to regret than that. Besides the fact he's kind of an artfag dick.

Solid as entertaining. Which I think is how it’s produced.
Whereas the Vlogs these guys are making is them just “analyzing” Live hands they’ve played to show how hard they’re “crushing”.

Are you saying is unusual that Andrew Neeme hits like 8 sets per vlog?

I know a former 2/4 limit pro who might appreciate this



Found it looking through old pics, was taken at 3am in early 2014 according to the filename. I think a 2/5 game running around a whale had broken and the few of us left decided to invade the still ongoing 2/4 rather than go home. We would have bought in more but the cage didn't have any more white chips to sell us.

Jfc sometimes I hate 1/2 players

Same player did all of these in less than an hour:
- was errantly dealt hands without chips on multiple occasions (he was waiting for chips for different rebuys), each time dealer told him not to look at the cards because it would void the bad beat. Each tile he played a little game where he would try to negotiate about chips almost being at the table and wouldn’t just give the hand back. Each time holding the table up for at least 30 seconds
- bets in the river, is called, turns to the caller and asks him to show. Dealer informs him he has to show first, he waffles for like 15 seconds with everyone looking at him and then shows 1 card. Dealer says he has to show 2, he then proceeds to wait for a reaction from the caller before the dealer tells him multiple times he has to show
- facing a ~100bb bet OTT, a player not in the hand calls clock, floor is standing there for a fill and tells him he has 30 seconds and will get a countdown from 5, he argues with the floor that it should be 1 minute and countdown from 10 wasting about 15 seconds. Eventually folds. Next player to act jams for 300bb, back to original better, after about 10 second he calls clock on the original better and floor flat out tells him no it hasn’t been enough time and then argues with the floor how that isn’t fair because time was called on him
- most decisions take like 3-4x longer than any other player at the table

I take it that it was the "multiple rebuys" part of that equation that made you willing to stay at the table with this chode.

I can handle a lot of bad behavior at the table but abnormally slow play transforms me into a state of tilt induced rage.

Last 4 records of the decade in one post.

Spoiler:
Also STFU Zoltan is obv



Spoiler:
Lost in the Dream by The War on Drugs



Best songs on that record are Red Eyes and Under the Pressure


Spoiler:


Watch the Throne by Jay Z and Kanye



best songs on that record are Welcome to the Jungle and Lift Off


Spoiler:


High Violet by The National



Best songs on this record are Bloodbuzz, Ohio (probably their best song ever) and Terrible Love

And last but not least...the best pop record released this decade (and I don't think it's actually too close)

Spoiler:


1989 by Taylor Swift



There's not a bad song on this record tbh so listen to them all.



I expect GG will hit the over on the Taylor Swift album because he listens to commercial radio and maybe The War on Drugs??

Always keep forgetting to add War On Drugs - Red Eyes to my iPod, I like that tune. Haven't given the whole album a listen but will probably get around to it one day.

* finger hovers over 'Ignore Slim' button * on next choice

National is another one of those bands that haven't quite made my iPod yet although they have some candidates. Bloodbuzz Ohio will eventually get on there. Also legit love this joke song they did for Bobs Burgers a couple years back (although makes more sense if you watched the particular episode):



* mashes 'Ignore Slim' button on last choice *

Haven't listed to it. One of my stepdaughters went thru a Taylor Swift phase years back, just not my thing. I can actually say I've been to a Taylor Swift concert, I believe as a boyfriend to my wife before we got married. Couldn't stand her stage persona (very coying).

So 1/10 albums were GG has hear 4+ songs? If that's right, it was a push from the line I set, and well under Slim's.

He had Suburbs for sure because it was played on commercial radio. I thought he had 6 songs from Sufjan on his loliPod too? If so that is 2 right there.

I can't believe he hasn't at least HEARD more than 3 songs from TayTays record. Think I'm calling BS there

I have to say I mostly just love the way GG talks about discovering music in 2019 and the process which he goes through to listen to it on the reg.

That's my favorite part of this whole interaction
"The Pen:" Live NLHE Chat Thread Quote
12-11-2019 , 01:25 PM
Yeah, I'm not sure on the Sufjan. The wording was a bit strange, and I actually thought he was talking about a different album at first.

Might be an over on my line.
"The Pen:" Live NLHE Chat Thread Quote
12-11-2019 , 01:29 PM
I would say I definitely qualify for just 2 albums: Arcade Fire and Sufjan Stevens. It's *possible* I've heard some other songs from the other albums in quick passing, but not 4+ to the extent I know the songs on those two albums.

Can legit say the only Taylor Swift I would have heard would have been posted by Slim previously (I seem to remember him being high on her).

On the way into work this morning the mothercorp radio station was in fine form and actually played 2 songs that'll eventually get on to my 2010+ iPod: Neko Case "Bad Luck" and Danny Michel "Purgatory Cove".
