What would you do with Alex Smith? Should we be taking a look at Matt Flynn?

I don't mind keeping Alex and picking up another WR in FA. Crabtree had a decent regular season, but was basically non-existent in the playoffs. Also, losing Josh Morgan mid-season didn't help the passing game either.

I'm trying to figure out how quickly I can retire. If I don't have kids and keep improving at poker it could be sooner rather than later.

Either play morning tables (they are tougher than evening/night tables, but still very beatable if you're table selecting) or curb your social life to play poker at peak times. Simples!

FFS man, you've got no crappy 9-5 to go to and ZOMG OH NOZ you can't go out drinking every night with your buddies 'cos you have to grind out the rent money at the poker tables. I regret to inform you that life sucks and is full of drudgery, compromise & pesky time management issues

I noticed the best tables are running between 2PM - 2AM GMT. In this timeframe I can 24table only 40%+ VPIP tables (2NL). Earlier or later I have to drop the VPIP filter to 35% or lower.
I try to play from 2PM to 6PM, I take a 2 hour break, and then play from 8PM to 2AM. The problem is I'm ****** lazy and usually break my schedule

just play whenever you want, like me, 4300 hands this month, sup

My mind is blown every time someone mentions 24 tabling 2nl. What is wrong with you people?

Not really interested in laying you odds on a bet that I don't particularly want to make (my usual strat is to bet the other side so that I "win" no matter what, not to mention that I'm pretty superstitious... aren't I, KB ), but here's the current odds from Bovada:

11:00p 2012 US Presidential Election - Odds to be Next President

Barack Obama 10/19
Mitt Romney 21/10
Rick Santorum 10/1
Newt Gingrich 35/1
Ron Paul 50/1
Hillary Clinton 100/1
02-16-2012 , 09:55 AM
100/1 on Hillary?

Oh and @ AAC

If you want to see pretty graphs of odds changes I recommend intrade.

candlestick charts FTW

I'll be jumping into Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis on March 3rd to raise money for Special Olympics Minnesota. If you'd like to donate money towards me freezing my balls off, you're more than welcome to do so. I think it's a worthwhile cause, and you'll probably blow the money on Pizza/Beer anyway

FEED ME

Woke up today at the exact time I was to be at work.

Dog legit shut off my alarm.

Spent the drive decided whether to even tell anyone my "excuse" as it was so bad.

Variance: no one asked

FTP funds transfer ok?

j/k. Awesome cause...I give to Special Olympics every year. $20 shipped.

Many <3 to cool men like yourself

You'll be the one freezing your ass off. I expect a TR worth of my incredible $20 sacrifice.

I wonder what the O/U is on how many times GMAN will actually come into the office a month?


I am thinking of putting it at 4.

To be honest, I can't figure out if losing my office will be a good or bad thing for me personally. If online poker comes back to the states, it will definitely be a good thing. As far as our company goes, I think this will be a complete cluster. Managers are going to be getting calls from clients saying, "I haven't seen person X in two weeks. What's going on?" There are a lot of people who aren't capable of functioning in this type of environment.

We definitely need another WR if not two. Crabtree is completely inconsistent and I'm not sure even a healthy Josh Morgan will be that productive. Ironically, Kyle Williams had been doing a good job towards the end of the year as the #2 WR. Smith was going to him over Crabtree in third down situations. After how things ended though, his confidence could well be completely shot at this point. Plus, the fan base (including myself) will never forgive him.

As far as Smith goes I'm really curious to see how he does after a full off season with Harbaugh. Now that he has proven he is legit, Harbaugh can start to give him more freedom and see how he does. I mean I know at the beginning of the year last year their passing game had less complexity than my high school team's. Slowly over time Harbaugh started to open up the playbook. This coming year, I think he needs to give Smith some more responsibility in the offense and see how he does. I think only then will we really know if we can say, "He's our guy" or if we should start looking to FA or young talent to develop.
02-16-2012 , 02:22 PM
Regarding Kyle Williams and his first punt return fumble: do you put any of that on the coaching staff? He should have realized early on that he wasn't going to catch the ball so he should be running away from it early enough to avoid it hitting his leg.

The fact that he didn't do this suggests that the coaches didn't drill this into their backup guy (Williams) when they were preparing for the game. Of course I could be wrong: maybe they practiced lots of punt returns, made him do it right in practice and then he completely ignored his preparation.
02-16-2012 , 02:25 PM
There are very few rules to returning punts, I don't think I would blame any of it on the coaching staff. I've never returned an NFL punt, but provided you place yourself the correct distance away from the LOS and know where the endzone is you shouldn't mess up that badly
