@Dudfman not sure what ur trying to say but just say it.

Landscaped around court some yesterday. Working a small garden that will consist of: Strawberries, Blackberries.
Kale, Romaine, Jalapeños, Bells, Red/while onions, Tomatoes.
Open to other suggestions.
Gonna go w 3 4'x8' raised garden beds (per hoa), so room is limited. Threw some Peat moss on the beds yesterday. First time gardener, but why not.
Need some overalls

Gonna grind Sunday thru Friday. 6 day straight w results each day. 23 hours till we hv more hours logged this month than last. Keep that trend going until end of year.

Trying to get some hot topics going at the table. Brought up politics to stir the pot.
It’s creating some action I feel.

Toss the line and let them start biting.
In for $400

It is unclear if you are saying that hero has to beg HOA Daddy for hero to be able to build on this own land or if hero is begging bagz to help hero build on his own land. Either way, it seems like there is plenty of stuff to rag on hero for - this just doesn't seem like one of the better ones.

Interesting strat, hero, on bringing up politics. I think if a table is going well bringing up politics is a bad idea, but I guess the opposite is also true - where if the table is super nitty maybe bringing up politics can open it up a bit.

ask them if they got a bj from a trans and didn't know they were trans if that means they are secretly gay - be sure to clarify that you're asking for a friend so they don't think it's a question about yourself

Early in sesh this morning and very little knowledge on tablemates.

Look down at 107ss in lj and make it $10 after 1 limp utg from a top 10 tightest players in the room. The random players in blinds both call.
*Never played w either players from the blind and very little info to go on.
Sb $300
Bb $500
Utg tight $600
Hero 7s10s $400

Pot $40 4 way
Flop: 2d4s6s
The more cautious of the 2 random players in the blind leads right out for $25. Bb calls. Top 10 tightest calls. After mulling over a raise option w my draw, decide just on a call. Didn’t want to balloon the pot just yet as I felt a lot of strength from all players.

Pot $130 Still 4 way.
Turn: 8s

Checked to me. We make the flush here and double gutted to super nuts. Fire $60 for value.
Sb ch/calls w his hand. Bb looks at my stack for bit and then ch/raises all in. Top 10 tightest folds. Action on me.

Villain: all I can say is a thick gold chain. Flannel shirt, dipping in a cup, mid 40s white, straddled $10 a couple times on his button. Haven’t seen any hands played from him that wd give me a better assessment on the situation.

$300ish to call.
What’s the play?

Situation kinda sucks because sometimes SB is trapping with the nuts.

Folding flop wow…if that’s a serious statement.
Also in 1/3 nl, my range is quite wide calling $3 (or raising) near button. I crush these guys post flops. Seeing cheap flops has been gd strategy over the years.

Never folding for $3 w 10s7s in lj after one limp and 2 tight players to my left.

Fold turn, on board w.

I fold. Sb folds and shows 24 for 2 pair.
Never know bout Villain. Wanted to ask but didn’t wanna ask if u know what I mean. Didn’t want him to think I was sweating it even tho I was curious.
Someone asked what I had and just said “pocket pair”.

The longest 5 hours of my life w 2 days to go.
Trying to log more hours each month than month before. We got to.

We wanna give this challenge a serious shot. First couple months played too much 2/5 and not enough 1/3. If we really want to try to achieve this we need to put in more work. Started off not trying.

Try 3 or 4 in $40k challenge. Lost track.
Maybe we start trying now.





$38 hour is so sick. Omg may b the best. We going for $40s.

SMALL SAMPLE SIZE?
Do I need another 20 years of tracking? Been playing and tracking for 20 years. Before this challenge started I assumed my hourly wd b $30ish in 1/3. Thus, I just need to log hours. Thats it. Just sit down and put in the time.
Appreciate the post tho.

SLIGHT lol MISHAP

We 1 hour short of logging more hours this month than last month.
Had to leave the poker room out of frustration today. 1 hour short!!!

Hero Q10 vs A5 ($140)
AQ10 flop.
Pot $10 ish. Seat 4 overbets $20, we raise $115. That puts him all in. He calls.

1:10p ish table 1.
We’re hu and “Run it twice” AFTER the flop. Pot $260 ish

Ran out first board fine. He burned then turned a Q, burned then river brick.
I scoop the first board. No problem.

Second board is the problem.
He burns and tries to give us another flop! lol
I said hold up! We just get the turn and river. He picks it up flop and burns again! Also, not sure if cards r in order or what, but some players thought he burned twice.
River 5

I mentioned that it all seemed wrong. Player next to me, seat 6 said it was wrong. We carry on.
I leave shortly after. Just not in right head space after that to play. Tell the floor in charge to check camera. He says he will send u an email to Poker Room manager.

1 hour tomo or nah?

Sounds like dealer needs to go back to dealing school before working a live game.

Mistakes happen, but my gdness.
During the same down he did the same thing w another aiotf. No lie. Same seat 4 and seat 8. Seat 8 got beat and he too questioned. That time I think it was right and only one burn. But my gdness.
This stuff doesn’t even seem believable but no cap.
