Squat challenge

Why didn't you tell him to sit on Mama's lap?

Ew. Why didn't I tell him to eff off? That's the real question. Omfg I'm still traumatized. Who does that? Weighs strangers?

I swear he started to look a little surprised as the numbers kept going higher and higher. I would've been more comfortable had he asked if he could help me disrobe. Not kidding.

Rake Me,

I owe you that story about the thieving biatches and I even made a sketch!

The area where the lockers are is broken down into 3 big separate sections with maybe 80 lockers in each.
I was in the middle section by myself; the only person in the locker room, save the thieving biatches who were in the furthest section.



I had just taken a shower and was in my own little world. as I finished getting dressed there was bang after bang after bang next door. When u close a locker it makes a bang if u close it quickly. Bang, bang, bang, bang...nonstop.

Then they moved over to the middle section where I was quietly finishing up. Bang, bang, bang as each door was swung open and closed then onto the next. Since the 2 women were in my space I said "what are you doing?"

One chick said she put her bag in a locker but didn't remember which one. Ok.

And you don't know which section either? I asked. I mean they'd just gone through EVERY locker locker in the far section and now they were working on the middle section.

Yeah, she said she didn't know which section either.

Riiiiiiight.

I told her that I personally keep my locker locked but regardless I didn't think they should be going through every single locker in the place.

In fact, I'm going to go to the front desk and get her some help. Her friend immediately goes back to the far section, opens a locker, takes her bag and leaves.

Now we are down to one girl who says she'll go to the front desk. I follow.

She tells the person she's not sure which locker she left her bag in. All 3 of us go back to locker room. Staff asks her "which do u think it is?" She points to 2 lockers and boom! Her bag is in the second locker they try. Thieving biatches.

Was the dude looking good? Could you have used him as a personal trainer?

I mean this "helping you with weighing" is obvious awkward try to hit on you. He didn't know how to approach you and so tried this. It is obviously not the best idea. But I would give him the benefit of good intention.

Yes, very good looking, if you consider very big upper body muscles to be good looking. I am soooo not in his league, which is just fine with me. I think he was trying to be nice and courteous, I don't think he was hitting on me.

But yes Lapka, I had the same thought about personal training after I ran away from the scale. I was thinking "I wish he'd offered help w training, not weighing me."

Btw I am certain you have a beautiful voice and I'm so bummed that my pc in work wouldnt run your recording so I couldn't hear you say "Howard Treesong" apparently I need to update my adobe flash thingy, whatever that is.

I played at a new poker room in NH Friday night. It was their first night open. Brand new chairs (that could recline!) chips, tables and unfortunately, brand new dealers too. It was a very nice set up though and I'll be back.

Last hand I played for the night: It was 1/2 PLO $500 max buy-in but the game played really big. I was on the button with AAQQ suited ♠️.



$5 Mississippi straddle on the button so I make it $30 to go and get 2 callers.

Flop is 8-8-4 w 2 ♠️

Aggro villain checks

Tight villain checks

I bet $75. Aggro villain calls (natch) and I like it. I feel like I might have best hand against him ATM.

Tight villain jams all in for about 350 on top. This I don't like. I know this guy and he's not doing this against the 2 of us w less than my AA. I mean what can I beat? Not much but I CAN spike an A or Q. In fact, I have >15% chance of doing so. If I knew aggro villain was going to call it'd be worth it, but I dunno what he's gonna do. I do know I'm behind so I fold.

Other villain calls his all in. Both had an 8 for flopped trips. Tight villain had a better kicker it Aggro guy turned a full house, then there was an ace on the river. Gah! I would've won a huge pot cuz no way aggro guy was folding his turned full house. However, I prolly would've had to fold on the turn regardless if I'd called that all in.

I dunno.

I left the session up a few Hundo though I'd lost a buyin within about 20 min of playing.

Why does it matter?

That's the best MSPaint I've ever seen.

LOL, Josie, c'mon. The only play at the fold was the one you made. LOL, "All I have to do is put in 25% with a 15% chance." Could have gotten to the turn for free, but surely no further. I don't exactly hate betting the flop, but who are you fooling--not many 8s or pairs of 4s in your range and if I'm aggro villain I'm check-raising you a lot with air. And...is 5/6th pot bet a thing now? That's all nitpicking but you are making one terrible error for real; you're not mentioning how deep you and aggro are.

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/4...uncements.html

Whoops! We were pretty deep. I was about 1.6K effective and he about 2K. I know it was an easy fold and I know I shouldn't be results focused, BUT!!! Keep in mind, the odds were a little better than that. Why? Because other than villains' holding 4/4 or 8/4 the latter quite unlikely with a $30 pre raise. I also had the nut flush draw and I know I shouldn't count that with a pair on the board but like I said, with an 8-8-4 flop I find it very unlikely that anyone flopped a full house. Ack whatever, I know 'fold' was the only option, it just hurt because I would've sucked out.

You left out your read too?

I'd have been way less certain there's no boat already out there with the tight's actions. You were there though.

The thing is...you are *NOT* going to have to call aggro villain down on the turn--you are getting repotted all in as soon as you call that $350. Just to be clear, if you put yourself in aggro villain's shoes, you would be repotting there, right? I mean, you would read Josie as having a strong hand pre that missed the flop, and is now hoping something good happens later? Maybe aggro means something different these days?

For the $2,300 side-pot (or just with the tight villain) you need an ace, queen, or one of 9 non-aggro-villain-matching spades while fading his 4 redraws. Assuming his hand is face up here, but if you were that confident in your read then fine. Pretty close to 50% equity, actually. With two guys in the pot you can assume A, Q, or 7 spades fading 8 redraws, so below 40%.

I think you have 2 scenarios worth considering;
A) Force out the aggro and put in $350 to be in a $1,050 pot with ~50% equity = $175 profit.
B) Invite aggro and put in $350 to be in a $1,400 pot with both of them and ~40% equity PLUS the side pot putting in $1,150 of $2,300 with 50% equity = $210 profit.

Both of these compare favorably with folding which = $0. All three compare favorably with any version of call-fold = -$350.

For scenario A you'll have to repot and get a fold (aggro would be calling $1,400). For scenario B aggro will either call that same amount (and put in for your last $100) or you can just call the $350 then plan on calling when he immediately reraises.

I reverse myself then; folding was weak. You should have shoved. Sure proper play and you would've strutted out with $3,700, but it's really only 200 Sklansky bucks. Granted that's kind of a lot...

Holliday,

Your equities are generous.



If she were certain to be HU vs the tight guy, then it's an easy call but she will be behind. I'm guessing it's a shove if she thinks the other guy will usually fold. Calling is the worst option (lower EV than folding), and folding is IMO absolutely fine if considering factors like "how much do I not want to lose 1500 dollars today?".

You mean run odds through a calculator instead of guess off the cuff? I guess that's one way to do it.

Well I suspected we had substantially less than 50 before I ran the sim. 43 was actually more than I expected to see, but I underestimated how often we run into KK/spades and have them crushed.

Your hair looks great in your drawring Jose

Wow Holliday! Next level thinking baby! You obv play PLO too, I had no idea.

Truly I was never going to shove after the flop. Not risking that much money without the nuts.

Exactly Renton!

Mahk,

It looks even better irl.

Harsh but fair, Josie.

Idly curious though, do you still think you could've called and seen the turn?

Realistic, eye opening and def fair.

No, now I see if I call aggro guy is jamming so what's the point and thanks to Renton, I see that I could've jammed. Problem was I didn't have the balls for that.

I feel much better now, the hand had been bugging me.

Aggro guy from the hand I noted above just posted this on 2+2:

"Heading up today for some PLO with a fresh bankroll.
Come and get it!"


1. Im gonna get it all right.
2. He was ahead when I left (and so was I) but it sounds to me like he got felted after I left - what with mention of a 'fresh' bankroll.

RIP

She knows the way to promised land but probably got lost in cookieland.

The women a disappointment. MLYLT carrying the torch solo now.

Josie's log has been in a rip state for a while. She just comes back and fills everyone in every month or so. Probably an issue with lack of goals to strive for.

Hold up there Biatches!

I can see the promised land like never before!

Here are some broad stroke cliff notes to get y'all up to speed.

Highest weight every about 3 years ago: 238 lbs.
When I started this log I had just joined my gym and was about 150 lbs. I worked out consistently for months, then last December I just stopped going to the gym.

It started out as just not having enough time to get everything done during the holiday season. Unfortunately that "season" lasted about 7 weeks. I told myself I was maintaining, but I wasn't really. I stopped tracking my food, kinda avoided the scale.

Also my sister moved in with me temporarily...yet she's still here. Big effect on my lifestyle and food.

Anyhoo!

The WIM was gone but I went back to the gym end of Jan anyway. It sucked. I could tell I was weaker, obv, and I just didn't look as good as when I was posting here.

I weighed 158 Feb 1st.

I weigh 138 today.

I work out 6 days per week.

Still can't do a ****ing pull up but I'm so ****ing CLOSE. In fact I'm so close that even though I practice every day at the gym, I bought a bar for my doorway at home LAST NIGHT. I can get about halfway up but was practicing too much. My left inner arm is bruised and hurts.

Hopefully it won't be an issue tonight. Tonight is my first kickboxing class at ilovekickboxing.com. Just to change things up and keep me motivated and interested, I'm gonna give it a shot!

I'll provide more details of my absence tomorrow.

Mama's back!

Welcome back Josie It's really good to see you. Such an inspirational journey!

Huzzah! Now go tell lapka she's fabulous!
