in reality its too many people on the earth which no longer can support them.
something has to give.

I left my heart in San Francisco.

20 years and back it was a great place to be. now it sucks. i have no reason to return.

Waking up in San Francisco with jet lag at five in the morning makes you feel like you have just been teleported in a movie set, “Oh Look, The Golden Gate Bridge, and there is Alcatraz, whoa there’s some trams on hills.
There weather isn’t great, even by British standards, one guy told me “The coldest winter that I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco “

I left all my underwear in San Francisco, long story.

wow, didnt know you met mark twain. you lucky guy.

If you didn't lose your underwear in San Francisco, you missed the entire point of visiting there in the first place.

The smart ones drive west with the steering wheel softly to the left, and eventually end up in Los Angeles, where they come home with a questionable assortment of underwear of unknown origin.

mason just made an announcement in the nvg forum. everyone should read it. we have sold the website.

Well, it was bound to happen. I hope this website was +EV for you all, both mentally and monetarily.

Thanks to you, ray, for being a part of this.

To me this is a heartbreaking end of an era. Will I still be able to contact you all? I’ll miss everyone.

It's not the end of the forum. Only transfer of ownership.

john will be able to ban me now.

I will miss you very very much. I will always value the things you told me.

Love, Bryce

I do still plan on posting here. I was planning on playing live at the bike in March or April( my sisters friend was recently on live at the bike who I know, we aren’t friends but I’ve hung out a couple times) when I’m free as kind of a re-entry to the poker world after not having played a hand since April 2020. It’s eird timing for me since I sincerely am planning to be a more serious poker poster
I feel sad that I never lived up to my potential during the 15 years the current ownership was intact. I haven’t used buds in 4 years only because I live in America and play live/ global poker but I’ll give hand2note a try.

When I was in Vegas, we played at MGM and Golden Nugget. I made enough at MGM to basically pay for my trip, so I bought two pairs of expensive shoes. Golden Nugget was crazy, but I couldn't get into any good situations, so more or less wasted 4 hours.

I always buy two pairs of shoes, and my last pair was going on 2 years old. Most of the shoes I've bought since I was a teenager was New Balance, but that brand went down the tubes hard. They must have changed manufacturers or something, and it got too hard to find good pairs. I have two pairs of Brooks now, and these shoes feel amazing. They feel like they were cobbled for my feet. I also have 2EE feet, and it's very difficult (and often expensive) to find properly fitting shoes. I'm unable to wear many brands because of my unusual feet.

I don't think the forums are going anywhere...I'm curious how much money it was sold for

DaveT I love you.

Yes but maybe the new owners won’t like me. I have an unusual personality. The people on this site have liked me much more than the average person.

I don't think they're going to start culling long-time 2+2ers, Bryce. You're a big part of this site's history and it would be lesser without you.

Thanks Dominic means a lot to me. Fwiw, I received a nice pm from Zeno. I have a lot of changes in my real life. Two plus two has helped me vent and realize things, and it’s caused me anxiousness to know that even my website is changing too, like everything in my personal life is changing and even the website I go to is changing.

I'm longing to temp ban Ray Zee.

you will now have the power to do it and get even with me. but the new owners will also have powers that we may not be accustomed to. i suspect my post counts will go way down with no skin the the game.

One of my friends got the m1 mac. He makes it sound like he got Stampede2.

what would we play?

Shuffle board! You have to drink a beer after every shot.

Seriously, I suspect major changes to this site in the not to distant future. Change is inevitable.
