I went to a top private school in my area, still doesn't get hardly any financial literacy education. Learned some practical things from my parents but everything else I picked up from conversation with smart friends and doing research on my own.

I think the fact that there's little too no financial literacy education in the US is a huge problem.

I like that feel wrath's kid is being forced to pick a realistic salary for a job and figure out the disposable income and budget that leads to and ability to buy a home. If more kids did that earlier they would go probably go for real college majors. I can't tell you all the number of people I know that studied the humanities or the arts telling themselves "I don't care about money" then complain at age 30 about all the things they can't do.

Not that one has to buy a home. It's not worth it in many cases.

Tax season's a *****. Wife is in the private sector now, thank goodness

You’re checking flop hoping to raise a bet and call on certain turns here I’m assuming? On the really safe turns just call and likely raise river?

furst hunnit hours in teh books. I have played some excellent pokerz, some really bad pokerz and all the kinds in between. The trend has been playing bettah which is nice. Good news is games are still lovely. wr > ten

It is. I staffed up this year too but one of my assistants was diagnosed with breast cancer and is going through treatment so have given her a bunch of time off. Right back where I started

Bet it gets extended this year, so no respite for the weary

Nice Squid. I was actually wondering how your hour logging was going on my drive home from a game last night. I think I thought about it because I had a sick feeling walking into the casino, but it went away fairly quickly because the game I played in was both awesome in quality and friendly. Your updates have been good inspiration for me to quit making excuses for myself and consistently play better. It’s been helpful for staying mentally sharp and results are showing this.

FWIW, correct usage is actually surrounding the quote with your username abbrevs. RickRoll has the perfect username for this, so RlikethisR.

I'm assuming everyone does daylight savings / spring ahead / fall back, right? Might be part of it?

I usually don't notice it so much, but I actually cut my poker session 1 hour short on Sunday (admittedly having a late night before) and the last two morning alarms have been brutal.

Congrats Squiddy!

heart attacks increase 25% in the days after we make the change, it's a big reason why most countries don't bother with dst

thx guys - xtra. I played a hand quite poorly the other day. I could not let it go. Discussed it at length and harped on it for a very long time. It was from being rusty and slightly out of synch. I think its critical to really look at all of your decision points and take the time to reflect honestly with yourself as to how good your decision making process was. And if it was bad what exactly can be don to rectify it AND make sure it does not happen again...keep kickin ass mang!!

If it's surrounding, shouldn't it be the first and last letters of your username?

Raising on most turns (pretty much non hearts, or 3/6/7/8s)

On most straight or flush cards planning to call reasonable sizing but multiple bets in front of me pushed me towards a fold.

I thought there was a real possibility that I was drawing dead or close to it

Squiddy, HH for lols?

I was thinking about a hand I played my last session out and it was kinda funny because I did this horrendous suckout by the river (Q43r flop, his 33 versus my 88, I don't hit an 8 but win anyways, lol). But as I'm thinking the hand over afterwards for purely chuckles reasons, I realize I called a small donk bet into 2 opponents on the turn, and can't for the life of me think of what my reasons were for calling (horrendous, imo). Although he outmistakes me by check/calling a river bet on a QQ runout, so I guess it is still all about simply sucking less than your opponents.

Also lost my 66bb stacked in a multiway limped pot in a nut flush versus second nut flush case against the table mark, although I'm still not sold on whether I should have done that.

No real rules (although in your case I'd use GD simply cuz of words), although main point is that it is applicable to your own username (not mine).

No brainer, really.

Study and pass Series 6 test would probably give you a pretty decent foundation in financial literacy.

That's of course if you don't already have something better.

back in the grind days one of the best policies I had was to take a lengthy break whenever everything told me to make the laydown but i didn't

i realized that when i'm going against all my subconscious instincts that i'm trying to force in a win and that's usually not a good mindset to be playing in

Ya man, that all makes sense. I think I would have played it the same way honestly. I mean, if I played in games 20x bigger than I do.
Calling turn to fold river feels just as sick there imo.

I dunno, this seems results oriented to me. I've made enough calls knowing with all my nitty instincts I'm no good and should fold, only to have that 1/5 case come up and, lo and behold, I'm somehow good.

Ya, I’ve developed a pretty good process for hand reviews, etc. But I think I was just halfassing and autopiloting way too many decisions without being critical about the why.
Pretty sure my problem was also giving players way too much credit in certain spots and expecting them to have as many bluffs as I would, which they just don’t. In short, I was becoming a calling station against value heavy players. Somehow between that and running really awful I didn’t lose much $ during said stretch of extended bad play/run.

Keep it up man, I’m hoping to roughly keep pace with you.

I went to a top private school too and they wouldn’t have dreamed about teaching a subject like commerce on any kind of life skills. I did Economics my final two years there and even that was frowned upon a little.

8 years of Latin though! (Shouldn’t laugh as I actually think Latin has been one of the more useful subjects I did)

I disagree with you about the Humanities degrees...maybe because I did one and I think it helped me a lot. (Philosophy Politics and Economics). I think they encourage/force you to develop original thought, evaluate nuance and to learn how to structure an argument, which are all key determinants of success in business and corporate.

I do understand that they can be seen as not helpful for many professions where more directional and technical skills are needed for graduate entry jobs. Also that they’re getting less popular as increasing college fees put more pressure on a degree that seems to payback immediately by being seen to help/guarantee employment prospects.

Law would probably be an example of a vocational/directional degree that also taught you most of the same skills as an arts/humanities degree and I would probably choose that if I was going through the process again

In re: AK, TJ Cloutier said you get the same information by checking.

never noticed that, I thought your G key was sticky.

The country of Arizona does not do DST either but it's still mildly frustrating to see some of my shows shifted 1 hour earlier. I prefer being on Mountain time without a doubt.

something something you allow your opponents to play perfectly.

They limped to your bb and u checked KQs?
Law taught me to hold my brainy ideas inside and smile while the alpha is barking.
