OP,

just for your peace of mind, he admitted it was a joke:

"OMG you're trolling!!!!"....I never have understood why people simply wouldn't click on my thread(or just click on the back button) if they don't like the humor. Why does that cause hatred?

Pool Boy & the Glacier is one of the best short stories I have ever read.

Assani is awesome. The ~year-long hand playthrough was the best thing ever.

If Assani was banned for life I wouldn't miss him a bit. I can't believe people think he is a good poster.

Assani is pretty awesome even though I disagree with him a decent amount.

Most likely I think it does, but I take my time to consider it. But after a few minutes someone else at the table calls clock on me. I was completely stumped, and the clock eventually ran out thus making my hand be folded. Some people later claimed that they thought I fell asleep. I'm not sure if I did or not, but if I had to say I'd say that I was awake the whole time. I was eliminated on the very next hand in a very interesting spot("Play through a Hand With me Here Part II" maybe?)

But the boiling oats thread was not funny because of Assani. His OP was just a dumb troll post about a stupid hypothetical. The thread was good because of the BoilingOatRunner gimmick account, who was not Assani and who actually was funny. Without the gimmick, the thread would have been long forgotten.

running single 8's in consecutive rows? Very aggresive imo. I hope your balanced catch line handles the shake-through.
